Please forward to your equestrian group membership and equine enthusiast contacts:


Dear Equine Enthusiast:

For the past 2 days, Joyce Davis, President of Back Country Horsemen, and I have been brainstorming on how best to include input from the horse community on the issue of expanded trails and further development of equestrian access routes in Santa Fe County. We've already spoke to many people who are interested and enthusiastic and I want to thank those who have already responded with input and suggestions.

Santa Fe County is presently completing its sustainable Development Proposal, for County Commission approval and subsequent voting into laws that will govern county development through 2030.


 

Many Santa Fe based horse associations and equestrian enthusiasts have put energy and time towards have expanding the trail system in Santa Fe County but have not seen results. This may be for several reasons including:

a)     Need for increased communication among equine trails enthusiasts,

b)    Ordinance mandates that allow for such equine based recreation/transportation enhancements

c)     Appropriate timing for presentation to the County,

d)    Sufficient support by equine enthusiasts, and

e)     Providing the county with specific information that can help the county asses and address equestrian needs.


 

In short, many people have asked for enhanced equestrian trails, however those were not mandated in the last Development proposal so they could not be enacted until a new Development Plan is established.


 

We now have a window of opportunity. Alternative transportation, including equine-based transportation is open for consideration as never before and your input now is timely and relevant.

 

The purpose of this questionnaire is to demonstrate the level of interest and specific needs of equestrians in Santa Fe County. Please look over the entire questionnaire to see where your comments, interests and attention can be best focused and complete and return it ASAP.  Your response within 36 hours, if possible will be really  helpful. 

 

This is a lengthy questionnaire.  However, since equestrians would be asking the County to spend many MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on this project --- your time right now will be well worthwhile.


 

Please fill out the questionnaire in such a way that, if necessary, we can present the completed questionnaires to the county. Be positive and if you have concerns that you want to see addressed with the existing trails, or lack thereof, or know of problem areas – please give us the solutions that you want to see enacted along with your concerns. The solutions are what the county needs to know.

 

Your input, in specific detail, is invited and essential for inclusion into the plan for future development. Please contact your friends and equestrian groups and forward this to them so they can participate.  If you fill this out as a group, please be sure to list all of the people who participated and support this on the last page, at the end of the questionnaire.


 

Please also include all names of individuals and organizations that support an expanded equestrian trail system in Santa Fe County. This is how we will demonstrate to the County that there is public support and  mandate for this area of county development.


 

Thank you.

Alicia Nation, President, New Mexico Mustang & Burro Association

PLEASE E MAIL COMPLETED FORMS TO:  nmmustangs AT gmail.com  ASAP


You may also participate in an informal meeting on these issues on Sunday Nov 8 at 5 PM at Real Burger on Old Pecos Trail and hand deliver printed copies of the attached at that time.    Join us if you can.

Thanks for your interest!
