When it comes to the issue of horse export, East Africa finds itself in a rather awkward position. From the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, East Africa once became one of the largest horse-raising countries in the world.
According to data from East Africa in 1900, at that time, the horse population nationwide in East Africa was as high as approximately twenty-one million, a level matched only by Russia and the United States among the world's great powers.
The quantity of horses in Russia has long held the top spot globally, such as before World War I, with Russian horse stock possibly around thirty million, followed by the United States, also around twenty million.
