Excerpt from Cattaraugus County Equestrian Areas featured on RFD-TV Show:

Best of America by Horseback is a fast moving, top quality television series that features a different riding location each week. It is designed to give horse owners the confidence and knowledge to travel to these wonderful locations with their own horses as well as offering riding vacation locations that supply horses to those that do not have their own.

Mr. Seay and his filming crew visited the Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Counties area on September 24th through the 27th, 2009, for its inaugural filming in New York State.  Beginning the tour for the weekend was the Annual Meeting for the New York State Horse Council, hosted by its Cattaraugus/Chautauqua Chapter.  Tom Seay was the keynote speaker at the event which was held at the Cherry Creek Inn with the luncheon served by the Mustard Seed Restaurant of South Dayton.

Next on the agenda was a visit to the Pine Hill/South Valley State lands just south of Randolph where the local chapter showcased their Adopt-A-Resource trails project.  This was a joint venture with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation that helped plan and develop 26 miles of horse and multi-use trails as well as an equestrian parking/camping area using a grant of $33,000 received from the NYS Horse Council.

Friday evening was spent at the Little Valley Riders Horse Park in Little Valley with an old-fashioned Cowboy Cookout and Western Show that was orchestrated by Jim and Dolly Little of The Crosspatch.  A delicious meal was cooked over an outdoor fire, followed by a country music show with dancing late into the night.     

The days were filled with travels across the two counties, visiting and filming various equine facilities and equine friendly establishments and enjoying the good food and company of our equestrian communities.  Although wishing to highlight the equestrian areas of each county, the group also desired to highlight other area attractions such as: New York’s Amish Trail, fishing, golfing, arts, skiing, agriculture and boating.
