However, little is known about the configuration of the Horse Agribusiness, particularly their contribution in generating income and jobs. Highlighting the need for studies aimed at the development of this activity and related economic sectors, since the breeding of horse in Brazil is approximately 5.8 million and 2.5 million heads in Argentina. There is a growing interest in scientific research in the production of horses. Agricultural activity in Brazil and Argentina, specifically the production of horses and their derivatives, has great relevance for the economy of both countries. Within this context, there is a chance that the knowledge of this chain is the main factor in the increase of production and generation of employment and income. Thus, this study aims to verify the asymmetries and similarities in the production of horses in southern Brazil (RS) and Argentina, analyzing the productive, health and trade aspects. This is a descriptive study, the multiple case study, which uses empirical research to investigate a contemporary phenomenon. The methodology used during this descriptive study comprised collection, tabulation and analysis of primary and secondary data, through field work and library research. The sample consisted of horses producers in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and in Argentina, the intentional type non-probabilistic. The collected data were tabulated in a spreadsheet Excell Version 2010 and for the descriptive analyzes it was used the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Inc. Chicago, Illinois, USA), version 15.0. To complement the statistical analyzes were performed nonparametric analyzes on the observed frequencies. The observed frequencies were evaluated in 2x2 contingency tables. Relative frequencies were compared using the chi-square (?2) test at 5% probability using the InStat statistical package. As a result, it was observed that there is a similarity in various aspects in the production and trade, whereas in the health aspects are asymmetry in certain respects. It was concluded that at the complex agribusiness horse there are several activities that resemble and other distinguished. Based on this study, regional policies could be implemented in order to develop best practices observed by optimizing the horse production in both countries. / Os neg?cios que envolvem a cria??o e utiliza??o do cavalo ocupam uma posi??o de destaque nos pa?ses desenvolvidos e em muitos daqueles em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil e a Argentina. No entanto, pouco se conhece sobre a configura??o do Agroneg?cio do Cavalo, particularmente, a sua contribui??o na gera??o de renda e de postos de trabalho. Destacandose a necessidade de estudos que visem o desenvolvimento desta atividade e dos segmentos econ?micos relacionados, visto que o plantel de equino brasileiro ? de, aproximadamente, 5,8 milh?es de cabe?as e 2,5 milh?es na Argentina. H? um crescente interesse em pesquisas cient?ficas no complexo de cavalos. A atividade agropecu?ria no Brasil e na Argentina, especificamente, a produ??o de equinos e seus derivados, possuem grande relev?ncia para economia de ambos os pa?ses. Dentro desse contexto, existe a hip?tese de que o conhecimento dessa cadeia ? o principal fator na eleva??o da produ??o e gera??o de emprego e renda. Sendo assim, esse trabalho tem por objetivo verificar as assimetrias e semelhan?as na cria??o de equinos no sul do Brasil (RS) e na Argentina, analisando os aspectos produtivos, sanit?rios e comerciais. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, do tipo estudo de caso m?ltiplo, que utiliza uma investiga??o emp?rica para averiguar um fen?meno contempor?neo. A metodologia utilizada no decorrer desse estudo descritivo compreendeu coleta, tabula??o e an?lise de dados prim?rios e secund?rios, atrav?s de trabalhos de campo e pesquisas bibliogr?ficas. A amostra foi constitu?da por produtores de equinos do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil e da Argentina, do tipo intencional n?o probabil?stica. Os dados coletados foram tabulados em planilha eletr?nica Excell Vers?o 2010 e para as an?lises descritivas utilizou-se o Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Inc. Chicago, Illinois, EUA), vers?o 15.0. A fim de complementar as an?lises estat?sticas, foram efetuadas as an?lises n?o param?tricas sobre as frequ?ncias observadas. As frequ?ncias observadas foram avaliadas em tabelas de conting?ncias 2x2. As frequ?ncias relativas foram comparadas por meio do teste de Qui-quadrado (?2) a 5% de probabilidade, utilizando-se o pacote estat?stico InStat. Como resultado, observou-se que existe uma semelhan?a em v?rios aspectos na produ??o e no comercial, enquanto que no sanit?rio h? uma assimetria em alguns aspectos. Concluiu-se que no complexo do agroneg?cio equino existem diversas atividades que se assemelham e outras que se distinguem. Com base neste estudo, pol?ticas regionais poderiam ser implantadas a fim de se desenvolver as melhores pr?ticas observadas, otimizando a cria??o de equinos em ambas as localidades
