In 2005, North Carolina was rated 8th in the nation in total horse numbers and Guilford County was ranked near the top. However, on average, North Carolina loses 3 acres of farmland a day to development; a statistic that affects opportunities to board and ride horses.  Nevertheless, places to ride in Greensboro abound and are available through public and private organizations. If you are a local rider and have a good horse story, add a comment.
