WolfHorse Outfitters

"Joe is an excellent and caring person and guide. His horses are well taken care of and he makes an effort to tread lightly on the landscape while riding. Joe was sensitive and capable with our group’s varying comfort level on horseback. I was able to experience the freedom of riding without the nose to tail, passive rider that’s typical of guided rides, while my friend was able to feel that her horse would stay with Joe and behave kindly under her. Great horses, beautiful landscape, and a guide who is passionate about sharing the history of his people and the many uses of the vegetation around us. This was a great value being a bit over 3 hours, and it was a highlight of our trip."

"Had a great ride with Apache Joe in the Gila National Park. He is very informative about the history of the American Indian and ingenious plants and animal species. I will ride with him again the next time I'm in Silver City New Mexico."

"My wife and I really enjoyed our horseback riding adventure with Joe and Bailey from Wolfhorse Outfitters. Joe led us from his place into a pretty juniper forest filled with blooming yucca trees. We planned the trip together (via email) to be in the late afternoon to be out of the summer heat. Our trip meandered on and off trails, across streams, up to view petroglyphs, and made our way to a ridge surrounded by a colorful sunset. We learned a little about riding and also some about the local plants and their uses along the way. After pictures and sharing some snacks, we then rode home mostly off trail under a half moon silhouetted by yucca's and stars. A really nice afternoon/evening out riding...!"

"This was an experience not to be missed. Joe is so knowledgeable about the plants, animals and Apache history, as well as the general history of the area. The landscape is stunning, places you might never get to see. His horses are well looked after and a pleasure to ride. If you are anywhere near Silver City, New Mexico you should plan a trip with Joe."

"Joe the owner is a great guy. He was so accommodating. He put us in the schedule the day we called. I felt bad we showed up a tad late because we were in Arizona and forgot about the one hour time change as we crossed into new Mexico. Nonetheless his calm demeanour was very welcoming. This man clearly has spent his life around horses. He is an accomplished rider and I wish I had more time to listen and learn from him. He has a beautiful little spot just down the street from some national forest land. He got my daughters and I situated on our horses and then one of his Ranch hands guided us on our ride. The ride was through the trails and hills around his place. The horses were so well trained. Obedient to the slightest command. A pleasure to ride. Joe has done an amazing job with his animals. Just watching him handle and talk to them was neat. He also was happy to share some of the Apache history of the silver city area to round out the entire experience. I would highly recommend a tour with him. My daughters say it was the highlight of our entire vacation. Well worth it his reasonable rates."
