The Denton Convention & Visitors Bureau is excited to announce that the North Texas Horse County Tours are back and (is it even possible?) better! in 2012 with six tour dates instead of just four! The new tour dates will take advantage of our moderate spring and fall weather plus provide more opportunities to see Horse Country’s major attraction: the babies! Sweet little colts and their mammas frolic all over North Texas’ spring.
With the largest concentration of horse farms in the US, North Texas is the premier place to breed, raise, and train horses in the United States. More than 350 farms and ranches with a population of 40,000+ horses make the equine industry vital to North Texas’ economy.
The impact of Horse Country reaches the tourism industry, too. More than 2,000 visitors come to North Texas every year specifically to tour the famous Horse Country. Groups come from as far as Scandinavia and as close as the next door neighbor, every one eager to get behind-the-scenes at very modern-day and quite elite working ranches.
2012 kicks off with a very special group visiting in DFW during January. More than 3,300 attendees representing motorcoach operators, tour operators, suppliers, hotel companies and other travel professionals across North America will attend the American Bus Association’s Marketplace in Grapevine. Taking advantage of the tremendous opportunity to showcase Horse Country to them, the Denton CVB will host a Familiarization Tour to showcase Horse Country and make sure it stays at the top of their lists as they plan future group travel programs.
The North Texas Horse Country’s 2012 are: March 3, April 7, May 5 and then September 8, October 6, and November 3. The tours are from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and depart from Denton Historical Park at 317 W. Mulberry St., Denton, TX 76201. Tickets are available in advance from the Denton CVB for $40 or on-site-day-of for $45 and include snacks, lunch, and drinks.
