Horse racing in New Hampshire has experienced fluctuations in prominence over time. While the state historically supported pari-mutuel harness racing at facilities such as Rockingham Park, live thoroughbred racing operations have diminished. Simulcast wagering and off-track betting sites continue to operate, sustaining limited industry activity. Equestrian participation persists more strongly in recreational riding, shows, and regional events than in commercial racing circuits. Future growth depends on regulatory frameworks and investment decisions within the broader New England racing market.
