Double E Guest Ranch

January 22010

Double E Guest Ranch is a working cattle and horse ranch located in southwestern New Mexico along the southwestern edge of the Gila National Forest. Exciting horseback riding on 30,000 acres, cattle roundups, team penning, clinics and monthly Cowgirl Camps make Double E Guest Ranch a year round favorite for aspiring cowboys and cowgirls looking for a horseback riding adventure.

Situated along the southwestern edge of the Gila National Forest,  the Double E Guest Ranch proudly boasts some of the  most spectacular riding vistas in the southwest! This country is breathtakingly beautiful, rugged, remote and pristine – and the best way to see it is from the back of a gentle, willing horse.  Our horses are tough, seasoned ranch horses in excellent condition.  They  will take you trail riding or rounding up cattle; searching for Indian Ruins or traveling the trails of outlaws and gunfighters. 

Please – don’t expect a jacuzzi or pool –  leave your swimmin’ gear at home!  We’re a working cattle and horse ranch and if you enjoy getting your hands dirty, your boots muddy, and your bottom sore by saddling up and working with the cowboys, you’ll love riding at Double E Ranch!  Our guests are an important part of the Double E Ranch Crew.  They are able to take advantage of every opportunity to be involved in our daily ranch routine.   If you want to learn new equestrian skills, improve old ones and experience first-hand what it takes to ranch and raise cattle as they did back “in the day”, then join us!   We may not be the biggest but we think we’re the best — and your experience with Double E Ranch can change your life!

Ride the trails of the Apache, feel nature up close and explore a ranch vacation paradise exceptionally beautiful, filled with abundant wildlife and rich in  the history of  southwest New Mexico.  Located  in the heart of Apache country,  30 miles northwest of historic Silver City,  the Double E Guest Ranch and surrounding territory was the home of Billy the Kid, Geronimo and Ben Lilly.  The 3.3 million acre Gila (HEE-la) National Forest and pristine Gila Wilderness surround us on two sides! A working New Mexico cattle and horse ranch consisting of nearly  30,000 acres, the Double E  Ranch offers mild year round climate,  providing endlessopportunities to enjoy horseback riding  in every season!

If you are looking for a working ranch vacation, you’ve found the right place! Whether you are a horse owner who rides every day or a “city slicker dude” riding only a few times during the year, if you are interested in improving your horsemanship skill level, Double E Ranch wants to help. It’s hands on, sleeves up, seat  in the  saddle!  Regardless of your riding level, we offer activities for everyone. (Please remember:  we probably are not the place for anyone who has never ridden a horse.)

At the end of the day, pull up a rocking chair, sit back and unwind.  The atmosphere  is casual and relaxed.  Our facilities are western, very comfortable and private.  We strive to make you feel like “family”.   Tell us what your interests are and we’ll try to incorporate them into your visit.
