A Rare Breed of Madness

Canyon Madness Ranch is ideally suited for a special type of adventure seeker. If you harbor a healthy passion for–or even a mild obsession with–equestrian and/or firearm-related activities, and other outdoor activities, this could be your version of paradise.

The setting is stunning. Remotely located in northeast New Mexico, Canyon Madness Ranch sprawls across 14,000 acres of uninhabited, unspoiled southwestern terrain. The modern, eight-guest suite Teepee Lodge sits perched on a cliff, high above the rugged and inhospitable Canadian River Canyon. Blessed isolation.

The ranch is staffed with knowledgeable professionals who will ensure your experience here surpasses expectations. Whether mounting a horse, loading a firearm, or trying your hand at some ranching chores, our world-class certified experts help deliver an exciting, yet safe experience for guests of any experience level. Whether beginner or expert, our staff ensures you will enjoy your time here.

Our gun ranges can satisfy sports shooting enthusiasts of all levels. We offer a pistol range, a rifle range, long-range shooting (from 800 yards to over two miles), a championship sporting clay course, a trap course and an archery range. We provide a wide array of handguns, hunting rifles, AR-15s, extra long-range scoped rifles, shotguns in three gauges and even a 50 cal. Barrett M82-A1.

Our stables boast more than thirty high quality and well-trained horses that include quarter- horses, paints, sport horse crosses, Gypsy Vänners and Gypsy crosses. Our equestrian program takes full advantage of our dramatic desert location.

The canyons, hills, valleys and streams are your personal kaleidoscopic playgrounds. We also offer other disciplines like English cross-country trails and jumping or Western style reining, cutting or barrel-racing or even endurance riding. The day to-day experience here is unlike that of any typical dude ranch, or high-thread count resort. The lodge is a world class design, comfortable and unpretentious. Dining is casual in style, but thrilling in taste, featuring international fusion cuisine, often peppered with exotic flavors. The sunsets on the deck are an experience unto themselves.

Canyon Madness Ranch is a unique place. A place where you can unapologetically indulge your passion for horseback riding, sport shooting, and a variety of other outdoor activities in a setting of stark splendor. If anyone in your party is not into horses or firearms, there is a host of other outdoor adventures to enjoy. We welcome you to escape the madness of the city with its day-to-day stresses, and join us in embracing a rare but glorious breed of madness.
