The Tamaya Horse Rehabilitation Program has helped and rescued more than 200 horses since its inception. As thousands of horses are abandoned annually in New Mexico, several factors can lead to unwanted, abandoned or surrendered horses, including a horse’s decline in health or behavioral problems, and the owner’s financial or physical hardships. The program provides veterinary care, training, shelter and feed for the horses in need.

The resort’s on-site stables offer a variety of activities, including horseback trail rides. Trail rides take groups on a scenic tour through the stunning Southwest scenery as they explore the banks of the Rio Grande and the Bosque cottonwood forest or encounter significant cultural sites including ancient petroglyphs and artifacts from the Santa Ana Pueblo. Connie Collis, director of the Stables at Tamaya, has more than 45 years of experience teaching the fundamentals of horseback riding. With more than 50 horses at the stables, guests and horses are custom matched to fit the needs of each rider.
