Tom & Pat Seay call Andora Farm, a working cattle farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, home. Steeped in history, the original farmhouse itself dates back to 1758 and was host to well-known figures such as George Washington and Daniel Boone. The property also sits right in the middle of multiple Civil War battlefields.
Tom and Pat Seay enjoy hosting events at their farm including weekly Team Penning Practice, Cattle Drive Weekends, the Annual Gathering at the Farm for their national television show, Best of America by Horseback, Daniel Boone Days each fall, and field trips for local schools.

Enjoy a long weekend in the great outdoors, full of beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance and working the cattle herd at Tom and Pat Seay's cattle farm. This is the perfect adventure for riders who want to do something different with their horses. You do not have to have any experience with cattle. If you are an experienced rider, we do have a couple of rental horses available, but you must be an experienced rider.
Guests will learn a variety of skills from horseback, including gathering and moving cattle around the farm and in pens. Riders and horses new to cattle will have time to slowly acclimate to moving cattle on Friday afternoon. All of our guests are treated to delicious hot meals throughout the weekend cooked right here at the farm and served to you family-style around the long dining table. Guests are also invited to take part in leisurely guided trail rides around the property.
