What clothes should I bring to the ranch?

Since you will be riding for at least several hours a day, you should bring the following:

• A pair of boots with smooth soles
• Blue jeans or riding breeches
• A long-sleeved shirt and a sweater or jacket
• A raincoat or slicker
• A brimmed hat or a protective helmet

Casual clothes are all that are required, with the emphasis on jeans and comfortable shoes.

How much riding experience do I need?

While all of our horses are experienced trail horses some of them are not suitable for beginners. Some of the trails in the mountains are also very steep and rocky and some riding experience is preferable. You should be fit enough to ride for several hours. However we do have some horses that are suitable for beginners. In the case of beginners we will provide lessons in riding technique and safety before we venture on the trails. There is no fee for this.

If one of our party does not want to ride, what else is there to do?

Lincoln County is a very historic county and was the location for the last great land wars in the United States. The town of Lincoln is a dedicated historic town and remains today as it did back in the late 1890s. There are many historic places to visit in Lincoln. Ruidoso Downs also has the Museum of the American West and a Billy the Kid visitor center. Ruidoso itself offers fine restaurants and very unique shopping opportunities with an emphasis on western art and sculpture.
