An event not to be missed for those women whose dream getaway involves the keywords horses, casual, and loads of fun. Equestrian director Nancy Burch of Road Runner Tours has been wrangling horses in this part of New Mexico for thirty years, she knows the Cimarroncita back country, how to match a rider with a horse, and how to have fun.
The weekend getaway features a full-day Saturday Trail Ride with a gourmet picnic lunch on the trail. Nancy will lead the rides through Cimarroncita's high mountain back country where guests will experience the spectacular vistas of the Sangre de Cristo range of the Southern Rocky Mountains, abundant wildlife, the colors of summer wildflowers, the scent of sage and a fabulous day on horseback. Throughout the weekend special meals are designed to offer the best Cimarroncita has to offer, with an evening ride on Friday after arrival followed by a white linen tablecloth evening campfire dinner on the banks of the Cimarron River, and a brunch at the River Cabin after an early morning ride before departure on Sunday.
With Blue Jeans and Champagne the term "gotta get away" translates to an unforgettable weekend adventure in the high country of Northern New Mexico.
