Dead Broke Farm is located in Raleigh, NC, and we offer horseback riding to the public: guided trail rides, birthday parties, western style riding lessons, summer and track-out camp, field trips, corporate outings, and overnight camping trips. We are purchasing an additional 30 acres of land adjoining our farm in Jan 2010. It will allow us to nearly double our trail system to more than 10 acres of wooded trails. The new property contains a pond, so we will be able to offer fishing during our summer camp along with horseback riding, horse care, merry-go-round, deluxe jungle gym, swimming pool, and clubhouse. We are also adding a pinball machine to the clubhouse this year to help entertain the kids when it rains. It's extremely rare that they aren't able to ride in the morning or afternoon, but they can also play foosball and watch movies if they are unable to be outdoors. We're very excited about the purchase of the new land, and we hope you'll come out to Dead Broke Farm to see what we have to offer. We have more than 55 horses, so we're sure to have one that's just right for you whether you're a novice or an experienced rider. ...read more
