New Mexico wine is a hidden gem of the southwest with vineyards as old as the Spanish Missionaries. These same colonial settlers brought their unique arts, craft works and religious iconography. Today we celebrate their heritage in two unique ways.
Albuquerque Wine Festival is held in the heart of the city with the Sandia Mountains towering in the distance. The day is filled with 27 different vendors to visit, including wineries, foods, and arts. Enjoy the many local bands and acts as you sip vino from your commemorative wine festival glass. Don't miss a unique way to experience this amazing event!
Horses
Save a horse, ride a rescue!
Our hosts in New Mexico do great work rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming rescue horses. The herd encompasses a wide variety of breeds, ages, and backgrounds, and all have been carefully rehabilitated over time and trained using natural horsemanship methods for their current jobs as trail partners.
Riding Level
Intermediate - Advanced
Riders need to be comfortable at a walk, posting trot, and strong canter on trail and within a group, as well as mount/dismount the horse unassisted. Riders must be to be physically fit enough to be in the saddle 3-4 hours a day.
Tack and Terrain
Choose between Western or Endurance saddles. The terrain is scenic but rugged and often rocky, with both slow, technical sections of trail as well as wide, open stretches for long trots or canters.
Accommodation
Riders lodge in a charming guesthouse nestled on a juniper and pine ridge overlooking the valley, decorated in a rustic and eclectic southwest style, and designed with environmental sustainability in mind (composting toilets). Enjoy reading nooks, hammocks, hot tub (all year), swimming pool (summer only), and bicycles available for further exploration.
