Looking for horse property in Lincoln County, New Mexico? What an ideal place to have horses! So much beautiful riding country and designated horse trails ... This is high country and horses thrive extremely well. My horses are usually "full of their oats" with the brisk cool air offered year 'round.
I ride quite often ... we live near Fort Stanton and they have some great riding trails that seem to go on forever.
Here's some further info on a few of our local Ruidoso Trails:
"Explore more than 25,000 acres of back country in Fort Stanton, where the 19th-century cavalry, Buffalo Soldiers, Kit Carson and Billy the Kid roamed and soldiered.
