Cedar Crest Stables - Cibola National Forest, New Mexico

 


Staying at the Cedar Crest Stables adjacent to the Cibola National Forest, about 30 miles north of Albuquerque.


There is enough room to turn the trailer around and back into a spot next to the guest cottage.
This allows us to access electric and water as well as wifi. The wifi is outstanding.
No sewer, but we are only here for a few days.
Our horses were due for a trim, so Donald, the owner, arranged for a local farrier to come out. He did a light trim on both horses - $45/each. The farrier says since we are riding them so much we can go four to five months between farrier visits. Before our trip, the farrier was coming out every eight weeks.



The horses are sharing a large pasture (not very much grass) with some shade trees and really happy about it. They like chatting up the horses in the pasture next to them.
There's a nice sitting area with a pergola behind the guest cottage.
also a large fire ring - you could cook an entire pig in that pit
Views from the trails were fabulous. 



The trails are right out from the campsite, so we are quite happy. The trails are easy and well marked. Rode both horses barefoot and they did just fine.
We used Gaia to keep track of where we were. We rode about 90 minutes, which is plenty as I am having to get back in shape. My horse was totally fine.
We will do another ride tomorrow and then we head to Santa Fe.
