The two biggest factors to consider when looking to buy a horse ranch property are the type of business you plan to run and the space to need to do so. If you plan to board several horses, you will need adequate stables and housing for the year-round staff you’ll need to tend to the animals. You will also need to consider equestrian structures, like corals.
If you plan to operate a trail-riding business, you will still need to consider infrastructure for adequate stables, but the extra equestrian structures will not be as important. Regardless of the business, however, you will need a substantial amount of grazing land if you want your Wyoming horse ranch to be successful.
Because of the drier climate, over-grazing poses a serious problem as pastures will dry out and stop producing forage. A good rule of thumb to consider when it comes to grazing land is you need to have twice the number of pastures as you do herds of horses. Water sources and the rights to them are also important to understand when considering running a ranch with livestock.
Again, Wyoming draws huge crowds of people wanting to experience the outdoors and life out West, especially during the summer. Attractions like Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park make Wyoming the perfect getaway for those looking for a peaceful vacation without having to travel too far.
And, if you own your own horse ranch right in the middle of all of the tourist excitement, you stand to make a considerable profit. You can also choose to lease parts of your land to fellow horse ranchers as another substantial point of income.
Aside from the horse business you choose to run on your Wyoming horse ranch and the opportunity to lease your land, there is a third benefit to owning land in Wyoming. Owning ranchland is a much less risky alternative form of investment. In 2013, an acre of land in Wyoming would cost about $450. In 2015, that value increased to about $1,500, and as more properties trend upwards to meet the average, that value will keep increasing.
So, rather than invest in a risky stock portfolio, you can purchase ranchland for an equal opportunity to make a lot of money, just without the risk.
