horse ranches

Where stallions live

Horse ranches are properties dedicated to breeding, raising, or training horses.

Unlike cattle ranches focused on livestock for meat, horse ranches typically emphasize equine care, riding facilities, and sometimes competitive breeding programs: They visited several horse ranches looking for a quarter horse.

The term suggests a rural operation larger than a stable or farm.
