Glorieta & Pecos
We moved to Glorieta a little over 1 year ago from Phoenix area. You asked about horse areas. We have 2 horses and ride them into the Santa Fe Natl forest. It is uphill climb all the way and the elevation starts at about 7,300 feet. It took a while for the horses to get used to the thin air. It is a little rocky here and most land is not very flat. We put in a barn on a sloped area of the property and had to do a fair amount of fill to make it level for building. The area north of Pecos has lots of areas to ride. The Pecos Wilderness is serious mountain riding. We are going to explore that area once we get out of the summer rainy season. It starts about 9,000 and goes up from there. The area (Glorieta and Pecos) is very pretty with lots of pine trees. It is higher than Santa Fe, so the weather and topography is very different.
