Well I don't think anyone has a worldwide number. I am not to sure about that 15,000 number for Holland either. That is a LOT of Fjords for the size of Holland. Is that possibly the number Registered? That would also include deceased horses then. We have 2,174 registered right now. Of that number 2,120 are still alive. Of the registered horses; 646 are Geldings 285 are Stallions (some of these are probably gelded but not reported to me) 1,243 are Mares 102 are Norwegian Registered also. 191 are Association Registered also. 111 are Dutch Registered also. 231 are Canadian Registered also. I also have a copy of the latest Canadian Stud Book. It shows that they have 1,628 horses registered. I don't have any numbers for the Association but I know they are over 1,000 anyway. I don't have any idea of how many the FBA has registered either but just for argument sake lets say 500. So if we add up the North American numbers now we have 5,302 horses. Some are dead, some are counted in more than one registry. So I would be willing to say that we have about 4,500 registered horses in North America. I am sure there are a lot of unregistered ones out there too. Especially geldings.
