Vision

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, and an appaloosa horse named Moon and Stars.

The vision for Moon Horse Ranch is a place where people connect more deeply with the land, one another, and themselves. Through workshops in art, architecture, and shepherding we offer tangible ways to honor and deepen our relationship to the land and steward it wisely.

Moon Horse Ranch is on ten acres, surrounded by fifty 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, lizards, 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. 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 providing a place where others can learn to create art and dwellings with earth and mineral materials and shepherd animals. We commit to active support for local Indigenous communities and support the rematriation of all lands to their original peoples.
