Beneath the towering
peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and throughout
the community
of homes and ranch estates, Las Campanas property owners
will have access to more than 68,000 acres of Bureau
of Land Management lands for horseback riding. The
area’s mild four-season climate and 300 days
of sunshine annually is perfect for horseback riding,
hiking, mountain biking, tennis, and golf. |

When
Midwesterners Joyce and Jerry Wulf moved to Santa Fe,
the City Different enticed them with its mild climate,
timeless beauty, and rich culture. “The views,
nice clear air, and wonderful weather attracted us,” Jerry
says. “And it was something different from what
we were used to—different from the lush greenness
of Wisconsin; [laughs] you get tired of all the lawn
mowing.” The
couple initially bought a house right in town. “It
was a nice location,” Jerry says, “but it
was noisy, and Joyce wanted to find a place where we
could
have horses and still be close to Santa Fe.” Joyce
began looking for something that would accommodate horses
and found Las Campanas by word of its developing
equestrian center. Less than 10 scenic miles northwest
of Santa Fe, Las Campanas is one of the area’s
best-kept secrets. The master-planned community sits
on more than
4,700 rolling acres dotted with pinyon and juniper trees—all
surrounded by gorgeous views of the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains to the east and the Jemez Mountains to the
west. “When
we started looking at Las Campanas, we found that the equestrian
center was part of the package,” Joyce
says. “It was the catalyst that brought us here,” Jerry
adds.
Las Campanas’ world-class equestrian center
includes a large indoor riding arena, outdoor arena,
reining
pen, regulation-size dressage court, and a boarding
and training
barn with more than 90 stalls. It also offers full-service
care and training to members and has a full-service
show barn that travels on the Southwestern circuit.
With opportunities
for stabling, training, and riding, the equestrian
center lies at the heart of the community.
