Horses Exports to Allies Dominate War Efforts
Sheridan reports that 1,142,178 horses and mules were shipped from the United States to allied nations in the first thirty months of the war. Despite ship shortages, 40,000 head were sent in January 1917 and 27,000 in February. Prices ranged from 115 to 240 per head, yielding over 225 million dollars to farmers. Projections show a million-man army needing 225,626 horses and 100,700 mules, with only 70,000 on hand and 250,000 required. The drought in horse supply continues alongside declining horse breeding and imports, while individual effort from farmers remains crucial.
