I"m Jealous! Posts: 1737 Location: Benton City, WA	Hey everyone! I am considering a possible change of scenery from chilly Northwest (washington state) to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. One of my biggest concerns regarding a move is how many local (ie less than 4 hours away) jackpots and rodeos would be available. Where I am right now, there are MANY jackpots within 2 hours of here almost year round and I can easily circuit rodeo without traveling more than 6 hours. Input please?! GO!!!

A Barrel Of Monkeys Posts: 12972 Location: Texas	I'm considering a move to NM to get out of this Texas summer heat. But I'm no longer competing - I just want to trail ride. Maybe you should move my direction? There are barrel races within 50 miles every day of the week. But I'll have to warn you - summer is BRUTAL.

Veteran Posts: 227 Location: Heart of Texas	T or C is butt ugly. You will have to travel the whole state for races, but it only taks about 3 hours in each direction. And races are here and there. Mostly rodeo. Not many 4d's. If you love hitting races every weekend, i do not advise NM. Lived there 15 years too long. Live in SE texas now and LOVE it. Oh and the wind blows 90% of the time. So if you like wind, you'll love it lol Good luck.

	T Or C is ugly but there is races in Belen about two hours from there to the north. There's some races in Las Cruces which is about hour half south. Albuquerque also has some races at the fairgrounds once a month and Grants NM. Moriarty Rocking horse ranch has a great arena and put on nice races. If you stay out of the drama scene they can all be a lot of fun with good people. Edited by gunsmoke 2015-12-03 1:00 PM

Extreme Veteran Posts: 396	My hubby has family in T or C. I gather it's more of a hippy retirement place, not really a horse or ranch place.
