Apache Land Trail Ride. The 18th annual Apache Land Trail Ride is scheduled to take place April 22-28 on the Chihenne Ranch in Winston, N.M. The ranch is a working cattle and horse ranch not far from old gold and silver mines and Indian ruins. This is a base camp ride with great trails and beautiful scenery. Come see N.M. in all it's spring glory! The ApHC provides all meals beginning with dinner on the 22nd and ending with breakfast on the 28th. Horse feed must be provided by the rider.
