I know! For most people, especially those living in cities, that is a ridiculous fantasy to actually hope for. Plus, I can guarantee you that most of the people, if they achieved such a fantasy, would give it up in a week, if not sooner. The allure and addiction of modern living and the city life is too strong, and while a ranch house life with Horse Breeding Games might be a nice escape.
However, one of the main attractions of the ranch house life, can be experienced from your very living room in a big city or wherever you are. You don’t even have to walk out your bedroom door.
