Training quality horses suitable for cowboy mounted shooting, ranch work and trail is what we do.  At RanchGeldings.Com and Double E Ranch you'll find a real piece of history located at this Southwestern New Mexico cattle and horse ranch.  Hidden  in the heart of Apache Country, the ranch consists of nearly  30,000 acres and is  family owned and operated by your hosts, Debbie and Alan Eggleston, CMSA No 1435, SASS Member. 

Once part of the Gila (HEE-la) Apache Indian Reservation which was established in 1853, more than 100 years ago the US Government opened New Mexico Territory up for homesteading.  After the Civil War, Horace Hooker migrated from the east coast with the dream of  building his own ranch.  The Hooker Family did indeed find their dream in southwestern New Mexico,  in the peaceful Gila Valley and Bear Creek Basin of Grant County, New Mexico. 

In 1996, Debbie and Alan Eggleston decided to "retire" and purchased 30,000 acres from the Hooker Family, renaming this spectacular property "Double E Ranch".  Situated along the southwestern edge of the 3.3 million acre Gila  (HEE-la) Wilderness,  the  Double E Ranch proudly boasts some of the best and most exciting horseback  riding in the  southwest as well as some of the most spectacular scenery!   Just  30 miles northwest of historic Silver City,  Double E Ranch is the home of Billy the Kid and Geronimo.

Raising horses suitable for the rugged, unforgiving terrain of southwestern New Mexico,  Alan works the ranch entirely from horseback and prefers Driftwood and Doc O'Lena bloodlines.   Driftwood consistently produces horses with good minds, good bone,  willing attitudes, strength and athleticism, and the comfortable build necessary to cover many ranch miles, regularly.  While breeding is an important consideration,  we also offer imported Mexican Mustangs which have been crossed with performance Quarter Horse stallions to produce strong, reliable mounts, possessing the qualities we insist on.  Training and selling some of the finest shooting horses, trail horses, ranch and rope horses in the southwest is what we do.

The cowboy mounted shooting  horses we offer for sale are at various levels of finishing, most are ready for you to compete on - now! 

Alan Eggleston, owner of the Double E Ranch and RanchGeldings.Com, selects these horses himself.  He searches for horses with good minds, superior athletic ability, agility, speed, and willingness to please.  Alan loves the sport of cowboy mounted shooting and finds it a real pleasure competing on a horse with these qualities.    He takes pride in all the horses he trains, whether they are his personal shooting mounts or the ones he sells to  you.  When buying a shooting horse, he's happy to spend  as much time as  you need or want to spend helping you learn, improve or refine your skills with your newly purchased shooting partner.  Some of Alan's accomplishments include:

2006 US National Championships Mens Class 4 Champion

RJ Hobbs, a longtime New Mexico resident and exceptional horseman, is currently a Class 2 shooter and assists with the conditioning and training of horses at Double E Ranch.    RJ loves the thrill of mounted shooting competition, and enjoys the challenge of preparing a horse for its first shoot.  RJ believes he was born in the wrong century...we think so, too!
 
Whether you're looking for a shooting horse, a ranch horse or a reliable trail horse, we know you're looking in the right place.   With 30,000 acres of rugged country, 200+ head of Texas Longhorn cattle and nearly perfect weather every day, RanchGeldings.Com will consistently offer you horses that have the experience  and ability you are looking for.
 
Come spend one or two complimentary days at the ranch riding some of these fine horses. Alan and Debbie are anxious to show you some real New Mexico hospitality!  Beautiful vistas, good food, comfortable accommodations, excellent horses -- what better way to buy your next horse!
