A walk through Point of Rocks Canyon.
Sometimes it is great to just walk through the canyons and explore. Many people have lived here over thousands of years. Between nature, artifacts, and old relics, there is always something to see or find. All it takes is time and the ability to wander and wonder.

Horses:
The horses are enjoying their pasture while Marilyn and I catch up on some much needed maintenance on the ranch.

Another beautiful and unusual sunset at Concho Hills.

The Elusive Elk:
The elk keep dropping by in the evenings or early mornings.
This is unusual because it is hunting season and the presence of the hunters normally move the herds higher in the mountains.
Regardless, it is great to see and hear them again. Even if it is on the game camera. Understandably, they are a little skittish this time of year.

Just Being Horses:
The "kids" are enjoying time out of their stalls and a little time off.
When turned out, our horses split into two strings. Watching the dominance hierarchy in a remuda of horses is very interesting and educational. The dynamics frequently change.

Noticed the water level was down in our stock tank so I thought I would see what the game camera picked up.
Here are some shots that turned out well from August.

Although it is October, the reptiles are still out and about.

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.

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.
Our webpage https://conchohillsranch.com contains the details of our ranch and what one can expect from a stay with us. Here on Facebook we will show more of the day to day happenings at the ranch and the fun our guests have with us. Don’t worry, our privacy policy will not show any guests who do not desire to be on this page.
