What riders say about Albuquerque stables

Trail Rides at Running Horse Ranch

My sister and I were on a girls’ trip and decided last minute that we wanted to go horseback riding. We reached out to several places, and Running Horse Ranch stood out immediately because Carlo got back to us so quickly.

★★★★★ Tina, Dec 2025

Spur Stables LLC

OUTSTANDING property for SO many reasons- meticulously clean stalls, OVER the TOP friendly property manager who went over the top to clean not only our 3 boys stalls, but our trailer too! Tons of human food options close by. Very secure! Has total RV hook ups, but also shower, toilet & washer/dryer for your use.

★★★★★ Kristen, Oct 2021

Platinum Performance Horses

I believe the owner of this world class training facility was put on this earth to love and train horses. She speaks horse. It's so impressive. The high standards of care and upkeep for the horses and facility alike are by far the best I have ever encountered.
