Horse Farms and Equine Ranches Information and Locations

Horse farms and ranches may be one of two different kinds of facility: they may be places where horses are bred and raised, or they may be places where horses are boarded and trained. There are still a few existing ranches in the U.S. where horses are used for agricultural purposes, generally herding cattle, but these grow rarer with each passing year.
Most people visit a horse ranch either to purchase a horse or to board their own horse. Horse maintenance is beyond the capacity of urban households, so some owners stable their animals in the countryside, at a place where horses have knowledgeable people to care for them. Sometimes people buy horses and need to have them trained; rather than having a trainer visit their home, they arrange for boarding at the training facility.
