The Highline-4 Corners Back Country Horsemen Newletter Has To Say This Month re NewMexicoOutdoor (Scroll Down on Page For Slideshow)


A GREAT ESCAPE by Katy Sherer
 
... We spent a week there last Spring and another week this past Fall.  Dan and Gabriela are the owners, and they're wonderful hosts.  High on a mesa between Abiquiu and Medanales, NM you'll be staying in a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with 6 horse stalls just outside your windows. The kitchen is large and fully equipped, with a cozy fireplace in the living room.  The firepit just off the patio is a great place to hang out in the evenings and watch the sun go down behind the distant mountains.  If you use the whole house with six people, it will only cost $250 per couple for a whole week (I believe the nightly rate is $150).  Now for the riding -- it's endless!  Right from the house you can ride mesa's, washes or deserted roads.  You can also hike, play tennis on their clay court, soak in the hot springs at nearby Ojo Caliente, visit Georgia O'Keeffe's house, or drive to Taos for the day.  We haven't been there in the winter yet, but we plan to soon.  We're told it can be pretty cold, but they get almost no snow -- and it only takes about 3 hours to get there!  We'll have photos at the February meeting.  Hope to see you there!

Since we have here, onsite, and within 20 miles..some of the best Trail Riding imaginable, we'll be focusing lots..in the coming months on pics and trails nearby. We'll also be linking to other Trail Riding meccas within 50 miles radius!

Debbie, your guide and host, has many years of experience ! She has been riding since her early teens. She loves to share her love of horses and the outdoors with those who also appreciate it! She learned about the trails through training for endurance riding and has competed in several endurance events and actively participates in trail work with the Back Country Horsemen, a volunteer group who works closely with the Forest Service, BLM, and County and State agencies to clear, maintain, and build trails for the equestrian and hiking communities.

You can also choose to start your ride from the village of Chili, Debbies head-quarters (10 miles from our guesthouse).
