About Enchanted Gaits Farm
Enchanted Gaits Farm is family-owned and operated right here in Tijeras, NM. Since our company opened in 2006, we’ve treated every customer like they were a part of our family. We will give each customer individualized attention and personal lessons on riding a gaited horse.After your first lesson in most cases you will be enjoying the feel of a smooth gaited paso fino or singlefooting horse at the walk, four beat gait or the canter. Your ride may be in open space outside of our farm or you may elect to go to the Rio Grande River and see geese, ducks or sandhill cranes.Maybe a ride at 10,000 ft in the Sandia Mountains may be more to your liking,especially on those hot summer days the cool of the mountains are much appreciated.
