    Tom & Cathy welcomed us from the moment we came onto their property. They live "on property,"and have done a nice job remodeling the rooms for their guests. Meals were quite tasty and some were family recipes handed down. Both Tom & Cathy KNOW how to cook, so we weren't disappointed. We stayed in the Blue Horse Room which had a nice fireplace and whirlpool tub, as well as a bed with a good mattress. No corners cut here!

    Wonderful Experience

    April 14, 2013

    My wife and I stayed at the Blue Horse during our recent honeymoon. The scenery around the B&B was breath taking, and combined with the wild horses, we could not have asked for a prettier location. We stayed in the Blue Horse room, with a king size bed and a jetted tub. We loved it. Breakfast was incredible! Tom and Cathy are very hospitable and made my wife and I feel right at home. Our first day there we had to set out very early, Cathy provided a to-go breakfast of home made muffins, yogurts, fresh fruit and coffee, which we did not expect, but highly appreciated. - The Blue Horse is a short 30 minute drive away from downtown Albuquerque, and situated 10-15 minutes from the highway, however we found it nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of New Mexico. -

    Excellent Stay

    We stayed with Blue Horse for 5 nights. The bed and breakfast is located in a beautiful spot with great views from the picture window and lovely porch. The breakfasts were delicious and Tom and Cathy were very friendly, knowledgeable and generous in recommending site seeing opportunities, restaurants, and golf courses. It is a short drive to Albuquerque and a little longer to Santa Fe. Overall one of the nicest B&B's we have stayed in .

    We stayed October 6 through October 8. It was a flawless, cozy experience from start to finish. The rooms are well furnished and the fireplace was a great thing to have on a cool fall night. Breakfast was delicious, and plenty of to-go items were available. The mountain views were astounding. It's away from the hustle and bustle yet strategically located for trips to both Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Great job! Can't say enough about this place.
