What a way to end the day. A home cooked meal of Marilyn's famous chicken enchiladas, fresh salsa, and homemade Guacamole with just the right amount of jalapenos and garlic.

Well, Texas is calling Brent back. He will be moving soon and has a lot on his plate (couldn't resist the pun). We will miss him and hope he will return some day. Until then...Happy Trails.

Brent has an admiration and a "way" with animals. Ranchers call that heart.

I think he almost enjoyed watching the hummingbirds as much as riding. Not quite but almost. They even landed on his finger to feed.

So Brent begins his journey into western horsemanship.

James P. Owen wrote a book about a cowboy trait called "The Try, The Secret to Success in Life and Career.

Brent displayed a lot of TRY in his few days here. From the horses, their care, the gear, and techniques he wanted to know and do as much as he could. We like that.

He drove all the way from Dallas, Texas!

Brent decided to come out an join us for some western riding.

He volunteers at a therapeutic horse riding facility and has developed a desire to learn as much as he can about horses and of course horse back riding.

More photos of Harry enjoying riding on the range.

With each ride we try to increase the technical difficulty or approach different kinds of obstacles.

The cattle have been gathered for shipping so we won't be looking them over.

Harry has gone home now. We hope he returns again. Until then, may he ride with loose reins, with his heels down and his head to the heavens.

Sorry, we have been busy and are behind on our posting. That is a good thing for us.

Harry has learned the principles of western riding well in the round pen and arena. Good job!

Now it is time to do some riding on the range.

Although Harry is an experienced rider, it is time to learn and review the time tested techniques of Vaquero style horsemanship. He is super eager to learn all that he can to apply the techniques to the horses he rides. We like that attitude. It sure helps move things along. Thank you Harry.

The elk were still around later in the morning. Marilyn counted more than 42 in this herd. It is hard to count them accurately when they start moving around.

Bow season starts September the 1st and the pressure from hunters will push them high in the mountains until the end of January. We may see a few during that time. It is always exciting when we do.

Another beautiful sunset.

One should take time to enjoy them. A camera is better than nothing, but nothing captures the sunsets like watching it in person.

A Lovely Morning for a ride!

What could be better than a morning ride with your wife? A quick breakfast, for us and our horses, then saddle up. This ride was cut short.

An Award Winning and Unique Guest Ranch In New Mexico

We are thrilled to announce Concho Hills Guest ranch was voted as “Best Dude or Guest Ranch” and “Best Heritage Guest Ranch” for 2019 (amongst other awards).

We wanted to emulate the original guest or dude ranches, so we share our residence and western hospitality. We became enthralled with people that settled and lived in the West particularly the Southwest. We didn’t want to change the lifestyle, ethics and values of the Southwestern rancher…we wanted to live within that culture. Why introduce something that has not withstood the test of time and that would further remove people from nature and the realities of life?

We established Concho Hills to share. To share the beauty of this country, the nature and the cowboy culture that inspired us to call New Mexico home. Our appreciation for the southwest and American western heritage is obvious in every detail at our ranch. From the Adobe main ranch house with viga and latias ceilings, the southwest style guest’s quarters, to the cow horses and cattle, we developed the ranch to share the western way of life with our exclusive guests. Our guests enjoy ranching, horseback riding, exploring, and hiking that allows them to view and photograph the grandeur, beauty, and wildlife of the great Southwest. Our guests praise the horseback experiences, family atmosphere, ranching activities, historical tours and fantastic scenery! Please visit our website for details and read our reviews.

Concho Hills is a small ranch, catering to only 14 guests. We wanted to keep the nostalgia of a family ranch, where everyone gets to participate in the daily activities and where they arrive as guests and leave as family.
