Tour 25:
Horses, Horses, and more Horses
North Carolina is known for its strong and diverse equine industry. First, we will visit MacNair’s Country Acres, a full service equestrian facility that has one of the biggest youth programs east of the Mississippi River. Although North Carolina does not have any equine race tracks, the race industry is heavily supported by horses that are born, raised, and trained in North Carolina. Cool Breeze Farm has horses racing across the United States. With the dairy industry moving westward, cattle producers are exploring alternative agriculture opportunities. Double D Equestrian Center is a retired dairy farm with over 800 acres and 20 miles of riding trails. The last stop will be Historic Wakefield Barn. It is a restored barn that is now surrounded by luxury homes and a championship golf course.
