Unusual STRs that you have seen?

Recently moved to a new area about an hour west of Phoenix. We know AZ is a cowboy state for sure, but this is a new one. About 50% of the houses around mine are STRs...but with a twist. They all must have horse facilities and cater to rodeo folks who want to train in one if the various events, usually roping. These are decent houses, too, not shacks. But they don't spend any time in the houses, it's all about the facilities. Several have their own full-size arenas and pens.

One example: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/819779714857614294?adults=2&...

So the cowboys, and girls of course, roll in with their $100k trailers, $100k trucks plus a lot have their own semis that they use to haul the hay and in some cases their own cattle to train with. Not to mention the $150k horses (yes you heard that right). They stay and work for a week  to a month and then head back to the circuit.

Just thought it was interesting. I thought cowboys were poor.......
