What Are Comparable Equestrian Residential Communities?
Although miles of mountain riding trails surrounded by national forests are available in some equestrian communities, none are neighbors to the world-renowned Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort (TIEC). The exclusive destination for horse lovers, outdoor enthusiasts and active families makes it one of the many reasons Tryon should be included in every top listing. Others include:
Wolf Creek Ranch in Utah, where you could only dream of the weather pattern known as the “thermal belt” found in the southern foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains
Laguna Woods in California, with its high-end retirement amenities, but which experiences drought and water constraints and isn’t as amenable to growing families
Wellington Equestrian Estate Homes in Florida, which lack the cohesive guidelines for home, hearth and barn building found at Tryon Equestrian Farms
Hudson Valley equestrian communities, which may be close-knit, but are spread out over a range of municipalities and riding trails
Throughout Italy, Spain and France, where equestrian living consists primarily of large estates offering temporary quarters

During the worldwide pandemic shutdowns in 2020, most equestrian communities shut down as well. At Tryon Equestrian Farms, however, families continued to share in their dream lifestyles while still being able to closely follow pandemic rules and guidelines. In fact, in 2022, North Carolina was ranked the third safest state to live in during the COVID-19 crisis.
