Moon Horse Ranch is a little ranch south of Santa Fe, home to painter Stella Maria Baer, designer Seth Reese, their three children, Wyeth, Whitman, and Winona, an appaloosa named Moon and Stars, a baby pinto named Sky, and a flock of wooly goats.

Our vision for Moon Horse Ranch is a place where people draw closer to the land, one another, and themselves. Through workshops in earth pigments paint making, moon photography, natural dye, and fleece spinning we offer tangible ways to learn practices that honor and deepen our relationship with the land. 

Our two horses, Moon and Sky, were both rescued from kill pens. A portion of every workshop and print goes to their ongoing care. We love providing a place where horses regain health and run free.

 Moon Horse Ranch is on ten acres, surrounded by forty acres of high mountain desert grasslands, with juniper, prickly pears, cholla, chamisa, and yucca and views of the Sangre de Cristo and Ortiz Mountains. These desert grasslands are home to black tail jack rabbits, mountain bluebirds, coyotes, ravens, and doves.

The land south of Santa Fe is on the unceded ancestral lands of the Tewa people, who live in this region to this day. We support local Indigenous communities, including Tewa Women United and Indigenous Women Rising, and support the rematriation of all lands to their original peoples. You can learn more about Tewa history and culture at the Poeh Cultural Center. You can learn more about whose land you live on at native-land.ca.

We seek to honor the land where we live through shepherding goats, rescuing slaughterhouse bound horses, and providing a place where others can learn to create with earth, mineral, and botanical materials and draw closer to the land and sky.
