About Where is there a cowboy friendly town with 50 or so miles of Raleigh, NC

Where is there a cowboy friendly town with 50 or so miles of Raleigh, NC?
My work is transfering me to Raleigh from New Jersey and I'm looking for a cowboy/horse friendly area nearby. I'm interested in locations that are within an hours drive or Raleigh that I can have several horses on a medium size farm. I ride english and western but lean more towards western. I'm looking for somewhere a little bit country. Thanks

About In NC, from Chapel Hill to Burlington, which is less congested during rush hour: I-40 or US 54

In NC, from Chapel Hill to Burlington, which is less congested during rush hour: I-40 or US 54?
My husband and I are moving to chapel hill, NC. I work in Raleigh but he works in Graham (near Burlington). US 54 seems like more of a straightshot, but we were wondering which seems to move more quickly during peak times.

I think you mean NC 54, not US 54. NC 54, between Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Graham/Burlington, is mostly a 2-lane country road. I-40 is several lanes each direction. Not much commuting goes on between Graham/Burlington and Chapel Hill....and the little that occurs is mostly people who live in Burlington who work in Chapel Hill. So your husband will actually be going the opposite of most of the traffic.
