14. I have never been to a better riding stable operated by a group of people who cared more about us enjoying our ride. They have well
trained and conditioned smooth riding Tennessee Walkers & Missouri Fox Trotters that are carried for like part of the family. All rides are
based on your ability which I might add mine isn't as good as it was 15 years ago. Harrold will agree to that statement. My youngest
daughter, Tiffany, is a very good rider and enjoyed herself because she was able to do more than just "walk" the horse. Harrold treated us
extra special. This is the reason I prepared the special piece just for him. It was just a small token to show our appreciation. His phone
number is 505-424-7774. If you are in the area, give him a call. You will enjoy a relaxing ride ... at your own skills ... through the beautiful
New Mexico countryside.
