New Mexico was the 47th state in the USA; it was admitted in 1912. The opportunities for outdoor sports and recreation in New Mexico are as varied as the state's terrain. Few states can boast six of the earth's seven climatic zones, nor are they blessed with the towering mountains that rise above New Mexico's high desert plains. With thirteen National Monuments and Parks, 29 State Parks, and five National Forests, New Mexico is a horse riders dream. In many towns in our state it is still possible to see old-timers riding in from the hills or mountains on their horses, cantering right through downtown Santa Fe and Albuquerque, dismounting and tying up the horse to step inside the grocery store for supplies. http://directory.localriding.com/%cat_tags%/ en-us The New Mexico Reining Horse Association is an affiliate of the National Reining Horse Association.
