Ranchos that sell delicate, luxurious, and rare horses in the USA

Ranchos that sell delicate, luxurious, and rare horses in the USA

These small farmhouses and ranch-style resorts are best described as "luxury." You can still harden it in these areas, but this is not expected or required. However, the style varies by property: Country farms allow guests to wear jeans and flannel throughout the week, while more upscale options expect business casual to come at dinnertime.
Here are the best ranches that sell delicate, luxurious, and rare horses in the USA

Brush Creek Ranch, Wyoming

Spread across tens of thousands of the acres and an endless variety of landscapes in the Sierra Madre Mountains of southern Wyoming, the luxurious Brush Creek Ranch boasts three stunning properties:

Brush Creek Ranch Lodge & Spa

•  This 30,000-acre spread is not your typical farm. Luxurious finishes and unobtrusive privacy unite 33 individual units, which range from comfortable two-person cabins and lodge rooms to cabin suites for four. Although horseback riding isn't the main attraction, the property's 55-mile single and double track will keep even the most committed riders busy. Choose from guided tours, cattle treks, barrel racing lessons, shaft bends, and classic horseback riding. Non-exercise activities include yoga, hiking, fly fishing, floats, and ATV tours. Most activities are included in the per-person nightly rate, but some activities, such as night excursions, may require an additional fee.
  

French Creek Club for Athletes

• The French Creek Athletic Club is an exclusive area that gives new meaning to the term "athlete's paradise." The venue has room for just 12 guests in four creekside cabins oriented around a clubhouse with a stocked bar, big screen TV, and spacious outdoor fire pit, making it the perfect escape for a luxurious bachelorette party. But most of the guests devote their time here to explore 15,000 acres of expertly managed wilderness and 22 linear miles of hunting ground on three streams. On land, choose from paid bird hunts, big game hunts, and waterfowl hunting, or try your hand at a variety of non-game shooting sports.
  

Maggie's house

• The Magee Homestead is Brush Creek's answer to an all-inclusive, adults-only resort - it's more than worthy to stand up to the planet's best tropical honeymoon destinations. World-class dining and spa treatments fit the course here, but what sets Magee apart are the opportunities to outsmart elite culinary talents like winemakers Alex Gambal and Jesse Katz at multi-day, guest-only events.
  
  

The Ranch at Rock Creek, Montana

• As the first five-star guest ranch in the Forbes Travel Guide, The Ranch at Rock Creek may be the first among equals at the top of the dude's luxury ranch list.
  Although its 6,600 acres are relatively small, the Ranch on Rock Creek boasts an endless array of traditional rustic ranch activities, including guided horseback riding, fly fishing, hiking, shooting sports, wildlife viewing tours, and rodeos. It has a lot of funky shows too, including yoga, ropes course, geocaching, and mountain biking.
  Virtually none of these activities within the resort have any incidental cost, thanks to the property's all-inclusive policy. You'll only pay for treatments at the Granite Spa and opt for off-farm excursions, such as helicopter tours, guided ATV rides, white water rafting, and kid-friendly sapphire mining adventures. Unlimited drinks, dining, in-resort entertainment, and airport transfers are included in the nightly fee; The farm fee covers 20% state tax, employee gratuities, and extras like Wi-Fi and in-room refreshments.
  

Devil's Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa, Colorado

Devil's Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa describes itself as a "Colorado Experience" - which, if you're familiar with Colorado, you'll know it's quite the flaunting.

There is enough here for an unforgettable vacation. Choose from eclectic on-farm and off-farm activities most of which are included in the Ranch Relax & Play Getaway package - such as:

A variety of the horseback riding options, from quick out-and-back family rides to all-day adventures.
A slew of the winter activities, such as Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking

• Yoga
• Three-season zip line tours
• Fly fishing
• Stand-up paddle boarding
  

Mountain biking Roughly 90 minutes from downtown Denver on a good day and two hours from the bustling Denver International Airport, Devil's Thumb isn't brutal to get to, weather permitting.

Tanque Verde Ranch, Arizona

• The Tank Verde Ranch spans more than 60,000 acres just outside the eastern city limits of Tucson, and it might be the most accessible ranch spot on this list. Despite urban encroachment, Tanque Verde has somehow managed to maintain the semi-rural vibe that has kept families coming back for decades at a price that hardy families can afford.
  
• Its dry surroundings and lack of televisions aren't all that distinguishes Tanque Verde from the luxury guest farms of the high country. Even compared to high-end family resorts, this place has an accessible, inclusive vibe that speaks to guests looking to enjoy Arizona's famous Sonoran hospitality and perhaps make new friends.
  Do not worry; If things start to look too familiar, the entrance to the eastern part of Saguaro National Park is across the street. Talk about running away.
  

C Lazy U Ranch, Colorado

• Don't let the name scratch fool you. C Lazy U Ranch is the old-school guest farm with a well-deserved reputation for family entertainment.
  If you like a five-star luxury, C Lazy U is not for you. But suppose you're looking for an expertly curated Ranch experience that features a full menu of traditional activities, great Western-style food, and an excellent kids' program that provides priceless peace of mind when you're out and about. In that case, this place should be on your shortlist.
  Not that C Lazy U hasn't kept up with the times. Suspended over a mountain stream, Lazy You Spa blends the kind of first-class services that city giants have come to expect with new-only Colorado treatments like the Cowboy Soak, an after-dark copper bathtub completes with champagne and strawberries.
