We have been at Rancho Mariposa for almost 5 years. We moved our horses from our 80 acre Texas…read moreranch when we decided it was really time to retire. We had experienced overnight stays at several other Santa Fe stables when traveling with ours horses and visited other nearby stables when we decided to move to New Mexico. As soon as we visited Rancho Mariposa and spoke with Barbara Brockman, we knew this was the place for our horses... Barbara is there for the horses. You can read her credentials on the Mariposa web site. She has helped us in choosing bits and saddles that fit properly as well as improving our balance and using lighter queues when riding our horses. We are better horsemen for being there. The monthly fee covers feed, high quality hay, scheduled turnouts and blanketing in winter. There are no extra charges if your horse needs to be doctored. Supplements provided by owners are given according to your requested schedule. Our experience has been that the horses are well cared for and we have no worries.

This is an easy on, easy off highway 40 as we are heading home to Arizona. It is a huge gravel lot…read morewith very nicely laid out very lengthy RV sites. We stayed here a year or so ago when they first opened and were the only ones at the park, but this time the place is almost completely full! They have many fifth wheels and tow campers here that are set up for long-term with big propane tanks and such. However, I will say it is one of the neatest and clean long-term Park we've seen along this trip. We paid $47 for this one night stay plus tax for full hook ups on a pull through site. They have a very nice laundry room that has six washers and six dryers for six dollars a load. You pay for the washer in the dryer is free. There is a workout room that is attached to that building as well with some equipment, including a treadmill, an elliptical and some weights however the weight pin was stuck so you couldn't adjust the weight. There was plenty of space if you needed to do any type of Pilates video or something, lots of room for that. There are really no trees or anything here and you are next to a farm so it was nice to wake up next to the cows. We did not really hear any highway noise, although it was quite windy last night. You book online and make sure you check your email the day you arrive as you will need all of the information in that email. It isn't a typical camp where you check in at an office, you're giving all the instructions and email including the gate code to access. The map of the facility is on their website so you can locate your space that you're assigned an email. There were three different Wi-Fi connections available, but we couldn't get any of them to work. When we called they said they had been having problems for over a week, no one had come out yet and the owner has been ill or something so if you need Wi-Fi, you may want to have an alternative solution. Verizon signal was just OK If you are traveling with horses, this is your perfect stop as they have stalls for horses!

We were traveling to California from Ontario Canada and had a breakdown with our rv several miles…read moreeast of this rv park. After spending several hours in a rest area I contacted the Longhorn Ranch rv park to see if we could spend the weekend there until we could get our truck repaired. They were not officially open yet but said they would accommodate us with no problem. They met us on the back of a tow truck at night and directed us into their park. We met the whole family the next morning and they offered to help us any way possible which included repairing a major water leak in our plumbing. They also made arrangements to get the part we needed to repair our truck and suggested a competent repair shop close by to do the repair for us. We can't thank them enough for all the help they provided us and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely stop there next year on our way through and visit the family. If you are travelling hwy 40 and need a great place to stop please make exit 203 your place for the night in New Mexico. Thank you again. Steve and Barb.

A few pros: Chance is a truly a personable, patient and interesting individual. He showed me how to develop trust with my horse, explained horse behavior and psychology, kindly corrected my mistakes, and taught me about balance + how to stand in the stirrups. Cons: pretty dang sore now because I rode correctly for the first time. I can hardly wait until my next ride.

He was great from the moment I booked all the way through the actual ride--real, outgoing, helpful, and hilarious, even as a self-proclaimed grumpy old man lol. Our guide, Jessica, was AMAZING and SO knowledgeable. I've been around horses and horseback riding for a long time, and she still managed to teach me so much. We had great conversations throughout the trail, and I especially loved that we were able to trot at a nice pace and actually enjoy the horses instead of the ride feeling slow or boring. The entire experience was so much fun, and I would absolutely come back. If you enjoy horseback riding and want a great trail experience with people who actually know horses, BOOK IT. Highly, highly recommend!

Upon our arrival on the day of the ride, he inquired about my nephew's and niece's weights. My nephew stated he weighed 310 pounds and my niece said she weighed 235 pounds. The cutoff is 240 pounds, so he insisted on charging an additional person's fee. It should have been $120.00 plus, but I was charged $165.00. He then told my nephew, "You're paying," to which I replied, "No, I am paying for him." Carlos then remarked, "I wouldn't pay for him; I don't even let my son ride for free. Why would you pay for him?" This was very rude and made my nephew feel terrible about his weight. I would never return or recommend this place to anyone.
