Refine my question, is a 50 k show horse a farm animal

It all depends on who and what organization you ask .  The Humane Society Of The United States sees Farm Animals as sheep , goats , cattle , chickens , turkeys, ducks and geese to name a few .  All Equines have their own position between a farm animal , and a domestic animal .  Some animal welfare list the equine under companion animals .  Some feel that a farm animal , livestock is one that is raised for human consumpation .   The Amish community use a horse for farming and consider them to be a farm animal .  Some insurance companies refer to them as a farm animal others class them under equine . My horses are my friends and companions I do not consider them to be a farm animal , regardless of their monentary value .  Their value to me is not counted in dollars and cents .  Horse sense perhaps .

Contact the Agriculture Dept. in your state and they can tell you how the horse is classified in your state.  Each state will have a different interpretation.
