At Born Running, our combination
of turnout, individualized attention
and commitment to vaccination and
deworming protocol gives our facility
the best mare care in the state. Our over 80 acres of irrigated pasture is supplemented with home-grown alfalfa, grain rations and free-choice minerals to meet the nutritional needs of our pregnant, lactating and growing horses. We not only know each horse by name but we know each trick of their distinctive personalities. We know which mares pair up as friends, who bosses the herd, who tends to get shuffled towards the bottom of the pecking order and who never misses a meal. This personalized knowledge works to our advantage. We understand our horses better, and thus our interactions are smoother. We can quickly spot when something is out of the ordinary and recognize potential problems before they erupt.

We offer 24-hour surveillance and the Foal Alert system. All our mares foal out in our spacious foaling stalls, but they also enjoy daytime turnout in our grassy paddocks until the foals are old enough to live outside round the clock. Research has shown that foals who have room to run and play build stronger muscles and bone, an important preparation for an athletic career. In addition, when these groups of mares and foals interact, the foals can learn to mimic important adult social skills. We take the time to handle all our foals, so they are acclimated to being haltered, led and having their feet picked up.

At Born Running Ranch, we understand the financial importance to our clients of getting their mares in foal in a timely fashion. Thus we offer lighted pens to encourage early cycles in broodmares. We will transport your mares to the stallion farm of choice within New Mexico, and for the Quarter Horses we offer low reproductive cost for shipped semen and artificial insemination.

We offer experienced pre-sale training for your yearlings, a proven program of excellent nutrition, grooming and exercise designed to spotlight each yearling in the best light possible. We professionally represent yearlings at the New Mexico Bred Thoroughbred Yearling Sale, the New Mexico Bred Quarter Horse Yearling Sale, the Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale and the Heritage Place Quarter Horse Yearling Sale.
