Trail Ride
 Join us for a rambling ride along scenic ridges and gentle arroyos followed by a BBQ 

This ride will be hosted by David and Piar Marks from their property followed by a scrumptious BBQ lunch after the ride. This ride is open to all members of the Northern New Mexico Horsemen’s Association, but registration is required. Dogs will not be allowed. This will be a walk-only ride so everyone can enjoy it.

Directions to parking: Take US Highway 285 South toward Clines Corner; turn LEFT onto Camino Acote. Go 1.4 miles to 141 Camino Acote on the left side of the road. Parking will be on the circle drive around the barn.

Riders will meet at 9:30 am, and we’ll plan to be in saddle at 10:00 am. The trails in the Eldorado Wilderness are rocky in places so shoes or boots for your horse are recommended. Plan to bring water for yourself and a dish to pass at the BBQ lunch to be held after the ride.

Sign up for the July 15th ride will be held at the June 27th meeting of NNMHA, or contact Julie Belt atjuliabelt@gmail.com to get on the list if you cannot attend the meeting. The ride will be limited to 12 riders.

 

Northern New Mexico Horsemen’s Association organized group trail rides are open to members only and limited to 12 riders. Please visit NNMHA Membership to join.

All rides operate by guidelines designed to keep everyone safe while having a good time. Be sure to read through all of the guidelines on the NNMHA Ridge Riders page.

2018 Ride Schedule

The schedule for the Ridge Riders rides for 2018 is set! Even though our winter here in New Mexico has been unusually warm and dry, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for some late snows so our trails stay open and safe for riding this spring.

Sign-ups for these rides will be available at the NNMHA monthly meeting prior to the ride (i.e., sign-up for the April ride will be at the March 28th meeting). These dates and times are not set in stone, of course, and are subject to change due to weather and other unexpected occurrences. If you have someplace in particular that you’d like to host a group ride at that is not on the list for this year, please contact me and let’s discuss it!
