WNCR is thrilled to bring nearly 20 adoptable horses to Albuquerque for its annual Training Challenge and Adopt-a-Thon!

These horses are learning valuable skills throughout this summer to showcase at this highly popular event. The Training Challenge pairs our adoptable horses with a dedicated volunteer to work together on in-hand round pen and obstacle training. The event will also feature:
- Live country music by popular local performer, Boss Hogg Country.
- Great food from local food trucks.
- Horse training demonstrations by our trainers.
- Sales from our Thrift Store including a selection of tack, horse-related décor, clothing, art and jewelry.
- Silent auction of game tickets, gift baskets, art, ranch-branded clothing and so much more.
