Welcome to Vista Butte Ranch!


We're in the Albuquerque NM area, about an
hour from the Albuquerque airport and 45 minutes from Santa Fe.

Our ranch is 160 gently rolling acres located in the high desert of the Estancia Valley.   We are surrounded by views of the Sandia Mountains of Albuquerque to the west, the Monzano Range to the south and the Sangre de Cristo of Santa Fe to the north.   We are at 6,500 feet above sea level, giving our horses a great start for endurance.  The high desert pasture is rich and sustaining and our mares thrive on it most of the year.  They only come in during the very cold and wet weather in winter and then only for the nights.

The ranch sits at the base of two buttes, known locally as Crow's Peak.  

We have one Saddlebred mare, Arabians and Half-Arabians.   We breed discriminately, showing and selling what we produce.  We attempt to keep our numbers relatively low, allowing us to spend more time with each young horse.    All of our youngsters have shown successfully and some have gone on to win at the Regional and National levels.
