Four Reasons You’ll Love Horseback Riding for Families in the Land of Enchantment
Whether your kids are obsessed with horses or you’re searching for a way to distract them from their electronics, horseback riding for families in Southwest New Mexico promises endless fun! Here they’ll encounter extraordinary sights, bond with our horses, and maybe even fall in love with nature. Chances are you’ll love it too!
Insider-tip: While our ranch welcomes families, all children must be over the age of six to stay with us.
Group Lessons 
The key to enjoying your time on horseback lies in our group orientation. To ensure that every guest is comfortable with their horse, we teach everyone the basics before their first ride. In addition to our well-structured group lesson, an experienced wrangler will accompany you on every ride! If you have any questions about riding or about the area, we are always there to help.
Beautiful Scenery
One of the best things about horseback riding is that it allows you to enjoy an off-the-beaten-path adventure! When you’re on a horse, areas that are challenging to reach are much easier to get to, making your excursion that much more fun. Our horses can take you through breathtaking canyons, across crystal-clear streams, and up to the most incredible overlooks in the 3.3-million-acre Gila National Forest.
Rich History & Extraordinary Nature
Believe it or not, horseback riding in the Gila will expose your kids (and possibly you as well!) to a whole new world. On our daily excursions, we’ll encounter everything from local wildlife to extraordinary history. With so much to discover, you will be learning something new as a family every step of the way!
Return to Your Cabin at Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch
Whether you’re visiting from Albuquerque or traveling from anywhere else in the country, we know you’ll have the time of your life horseback riding with us. This is the main attraction on our ranch, and it offers the ideal way to take in the wonder of the Gila National Forest.
Our peaceful retreat is located in a remote area of Southwest New Mexico, so you can disconnect and surround yourself with nothing but nature. Make yourself at home in any of our cozy cabins and treat yourself to a delicious array of homecooked meals each day.
The fun doesn’t end there! Around the ranch, the whole family can enjoy board games, horseshoes, trying their hand at roping, watching a western movie, learning a line dance, or making s’mores around the campfire!
