Trail building equestrians of New Mexico

[Una Smith <una.smith AT att.net>]

Hi TREQ-NM,

I have been reading user reviews of the Corrales Bosque trail (northern
end of the Paseo del Bosque Trail through ABQ) and want to check some 
information.  Have you ridden there?  Some reviews mention a kind of
plant with thorns that puncture tires.  What kind is it?  Some reviews
say the plant is mesquite;  is that correct?

What are the horse-specific hazards, if any, on the Corrales Bosque
trail?

Thanks in advance,
