South East

It might seem strange to some individuals that not all horse ranches or dude ranches exist out west. There is a long and fine tradition of such in the east coast as well. The tradition obviously predates the western practices as well considering the individuals performing cattle drives through Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas had to have come from root stock that migrated slowly from the eastern seaboard.

North Carolina, for instance has a long tradition of cattle and horse ranching and rodeos occur frequently just as they do in Texas. The only difference is that there will local custom differences and there are fewer people interested in such activities in the east. There are still rodeos everyday, however, and North Carolina horse ranches supply the horses and often the cattle as well for such events. The truth is that no matter what location this sort of thing occurs in, east or west, the rodeo is a time where a horse or cattle ranch can show off the quality of their live stock while their members can display their skill and prowess in taming the mighty beasts.

One of the most famous dude and horse ranches in North Carolina is Clear Creek Ranch. Clear Creek Ranch is famous for is friendly family atmosphere and the continuation of the old world lifestyle in modern America. They have many of the typical tourist ranch activities that have been previously mentioned as well as modern amenities in guest housing that includes fully functioning conference rooms for people that want to have an interesting meeting or work retreat. This is a location that is a rare treat for many companies that want to foster stronger team work in a fun unique setting.
