- SSelina31 Mar, 2024about providerFirst off, the horses are doing well and they're looked after with lots of love and care.♥️ I spent a fantastic day with Lizzie, who owns the place, and I think everyone should try out the day tour. The scenery was stunning, and Lizzie's passion for horses and nature in Santa Fé was infectious. Big thanks to Lizzie and lil Dude for such an amazing experience.31 Mar, 2024
