| HISTORY/HOSTS |
|---|
|
| Purchased by Debbie and Alan Eggleston in 1996, the 30,000 acre Double E Ranch had been in the same family since the turn of the century and was one of the oldest original ranches in Grant County, New Mexico. Debbie and Alan have worked hard to provide their guests with an authentic taste of New Mexico ranch life. Running Texas Longhorn cattle, all of their ranch work is done horseback. |
|
| ITINERARY |
|---|
|
| Your day begins early at Double E Guest Ranch, with a hearty breakfast, served family style. Riders then meet at the barn for either full day or half day rides, depending on the ranch work needed, and riders' skill/ability level. Activities such as round ups are for all levels. Horse gathers are faster rides, and recommended for better riders. Your trails are made -- not followed! There's plenty of wildlife, spectacular, natural scenery. If you listen, you'll hear the beating of an eagle's wings! |
