Welcome to our 30 acre Ranch where we train horses including wild mustangs. You can schedule a visit with the horses as well as our resident goats and pot belly pig. One of our unique features is that you can bring your horse and keep in our barn while you camp at our campsite in the wilderness. We provide a tie out area for your horse and you can ride at leisure. The camp site has cushy chairs, a fire, propane grill, outdoor shower and bathroom amenities. 

Enjoy the sunrise or just a beautiful relaxing view.

Sweet Melody Farm combines our love of music, horses and beautiful spacious landscape of New Mexico. We traveled from Oregon to Pennsylvania and then to New Mexico traveling with our horses and cats.

NO. 10 RANCH

This cabin sits on a ranch that's been in this breathtaking valley for generations. 

There are six other amazing cabins spread throughout the 40 acres.

We are only 14 miles from Manzano Mountains and about 31 miles from Salinas Pueblo Missions National Park.

This particular cabin was once a pig barn and this ranch was once a fully operational ranch that served its owners and community so well.

Wide open fields with grass that sways in the gentle breeze, pinon a cedar trees that provide cover to the deer that graze and bed down across the property and some of the most stunning views come together to create an experience that will stick with you an entire lifetime.

4WD is recommended to reach the cabin safely. 

We purchased this ranch in the winter of 2021 and are just so grateful for the chance to love and care for it...and share it with YOU!
