Embrace the raw beauty of the Southwest as you settle into a unique RV camping experience on an authentic 40-acre ranch in the sun-drenched town of Deming, New Mexico. This isn't your typical upscale retreat; it is an unpretentious, working ranch with a heart of gold, supporting a noble cause that intertwines equine welfare with community enrichment. As a passionately founded Equine Safe Haven, this sanctuary operates with a charitable spirit, offering a new lease on life for horses bound for slaughter and providing educational opportunities in equine care and carriage driving. RV campers have the chance to dive into the world of "carriage driving," a recreational activity that deals not only in thrills but also in therapeutic benefits, especially for physically and economically disadvantaged community members. Witness firsthand the meticulous care and training of performance horses, including roping, working cow horse, reining, and dressage, all while learning from a seasoned equestrian with over three decades of experience. Meet Sunday and Iroquois, two mustangs that carry tales of wild beginnings and transformed lives. Capture the essence of the ranch through your camera lens, from the breathtaking New Mexico sunsets to the friendly donkeys that roam the grounds. When conditions are perfect, enjoy lead line and buggy rides, courtesy of the ranch's saved Belgian and Standardbred horses. During your RV camping adventure, you can support the ranch through donations in exchange for farm-fresh honey, eggs, and produce, in addition to distinctive craftsall proceeds go straight to the care and feeding of the resident animals. For a unique way of contributing, the ranch provides opportunities for tax-deductible donations through their website, ensuring the welfare of their equine residents and the ongoing success of their redemption story. Don't forget to follow their journey and support their mission on social media, where the spirit of the ranch comes alive with tales of rescue and a shared love for equine companions. This RV camping destination isn't just a place to park; it's a chance to participate in a life-affirming mission, indulge in rural delights, and learn from the majestic horses that call this corner of New Mexico home.
