About Us

Located at the base of the Sacramento Mountains near historic Ruidoso Downs; Copper Spring Ranch breeds, raises, trains and sells American Quarter Horses that carry popular speed-bred and classic bloodlines. In addition, the ranch produces regional barrel races, team ropings, and clinics. It has a state-of-the-art lameness and surgery center (RES Clinic). Owned by Karen Gilhousen, the ranch takes pride in following the ranching lifestyle and looks forward to supporting New Mexico’s ranching and equine industry.
