Wouldn't it be great to tour the USA on horseback? You could be riding through the Midwestern Prairies or Colorado's Rocky Mountains...
While this may have to remain a mere dream for most, there is a very doable alternative: planning a tour of the country based around visiting some of its best stables in states from California to Maine. These could include:
Chattahoochee Hills
Bouckaert Farm in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia is a modern complex with dedicated competition, turf dressage, and cross country areas set in a beautiful area with views across Browns lake and Chattahoochee River. It's a mere 15 miles away from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
During the summer months, the complex hosts events most weekends. In 2012 one of the major competitions to take place there is the Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships.
Kentucky Horse Park
Kentucky is unofficially referred to as the "horse capital of the world" and so is an excellent destination for equestrians from across the globe.
