What is your riding pleasure? If you enjoy riding along forested mountain trails or gentle rolling hills of grass or along rocky desert trails, Therealestatehomeguide.com lists equestrian properties to suit your desires. Our detailed listings include equestrian estates, ranchettes, small horse farms and horse property located throughout the country. Even if you don’t own horses, you’ll appreciate the peaceful settings and pastoral beauty which make equestrian communities such desirable properties.
Many of our listed communities feature convenient on–site stables, riding trails, and indoor and outdoor arenas, others offer professionally managed stables. Equestrian communities typically include horse paddocks and pastures as well as oversized homesites of at least an acre which are zoned for stabling horses. You’ll enjoy riding on miles of winding trails in and around these remarkable neighborhoods.
Not strictly a rural pursuit, more and more equestrian focused communities are being developed in suburban settings and near to major cities. Studies have shown that horse ownership appeals to many different kinds of people and is certainly not limited to the wealthy. The nearly 2 million American horse owners come from a broad range of backgrounds over diverse demographics. Horse ownership appeals to people of all ages. The majority of horse owners are between the ages of 45 and 59 with nearly a third of all owners in the 30–44 age group.
The economic impact of the horse industry is enormous– approximately $39 billion in direct impact– balanced between various aspects of the industry with a majority derived from the recreation and showing segments. It is estimated that over 700,000 people participate in the horse industry as employees.
Though horses are found in every state, California, Texas and Florida are the clear leaders in both horse ownership and economic impact. Texas boasts nearly a million horses, the most horses of any state, while California has the next largest population with almost 700,000 horses. An incredible 3 million horses participate in showing each year throughout America.
To find the perfect horse property refine your search by considering the amenities many equestrian communities offer before you begin. These features include access to barns, stables, fenced paddocks, pastures and arenas as well as adequate roads for trailering your horses.
Therealestatehomeguide.com can help you find the perfect place for enjoying the equestrian lifestyle.
