Tijeras 1 stable

  • Red Horse Riding Company3 Sanctuary Rd, Tijeras · ★ 4.7 (14)

    This is not your typical guided trail ride when they give you a 30 second run down and you just sit on a horse that's trained to follow the line.

    ★★★★★ Desirae, Jan 2024

Winston 1 stable

  • Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch1 Wall Lake Road, Winston · ★ 4.9 (53)

    The ranch is small so very intimate riding with Seth, Meris and their hired wrangler for the summer William.

    ★★★★★ Rebecca, Aug 2019

Before you ride

  1. Wear long pants and boots with a small heel. Jeans stop the saddle rubbing your legs, and a heel keeps your foot from sliding through the stirrup. Sandals and flat sneakers are a poor fit.
  2. Ask about helmets. Many stables lend riding helmets. Ask whether they have one that fits, or bring your own riding helmet.
  3. Ask about rider rules. Each stable sets its own limits on age, weight and riding experience. Ask before you book so nobody in your group is turned away.
