Debbie
and Alan Eggleston are living their life-long dream of having their own
working cattle ranch! Debbie, a former Admin Assistant, and Alan, a
retired Airline Pilot, have both had a long-standing
passion for Cowboys, Horses, and the Old West.
In 1996 they are were
lucky
enough to find the Double E Ranch in Gila,
NM. With over 30,000 acres of spectacular horseback riding! With 30 years riding experience, Alan is an
expert horseman, a patient instructor. They've been
sharing this spectacular New Mexico ranching lifestyle with folks
like you since 1997 when they opened their doors for guest
ranching.
You're invited to meet our family, participate in the daily ranch
activities and ride for the Double E Brand. You'll begin your visit as guests but most
guests usually leave the Ranch as friends! Why not join
them for the experience of your lifetime! |

Mark
Rinsler has a warm and easy going nature and is eager
to share the history of the land and the Old West, especially while
riding out on horseback with Guests at Double E Ranch . "Mark
makes the land come alive"! Why not sign up for one of
Mark's nature and wildlife rides and experience
a gentler version of New Mexico's "wild west! Often, it's not the destination...but the journey!
Mark has 25 years of western horsemanship and riding experience. He is eager to share it.

After a successful 22 year career in the Navy, Chris Eggleston (our oldest son) will join the Crew at Double E Ranch.
Chris grew up with horses, cowboys and like his dad, a deep love of the Old West. During college he even rode a few bulls and broke a few wild broncs. Older now, (and a lot wiser!) Chris will work with Double E Ranch Guests on horsemanship, continue breaking and training young horses and help Cowgirls achieve their goals.

Quiet, patient and easy going, our son Kevin somehow manages to continue working toward finishing his degree, be involved in every aspect of ranching and guest ranching, and (with the help of his wife Lori) raise four terrific boys. There isn't anything Kevin can't fix!

Lori is amazing! She handles most of the housekeeping duties, shares in the cooking, greeting and hosting. In her spare time, she and the 4 boys (Logan not in picture) participate in Ballet Folklorica de Gila.
Jacob (left) is an 'A' student, an avid reader and helps mom by watching Andrew and Zachary, when necessary.
Zachary and Andrew just happen to be the exact same age (twins)! Nearly 5, they are in charge of the entertainment at Double E Ranch!

Quiet, patient and easy going like his dad, our grandson Logan is also an "A" student. An expert horseman (he learned that from his Grandpa Alan), he is an important part of the Double E Crew. Whether helping to start colts, running the tractor, sharing guest duties or feeding livestock you can count on Logan to willingly lend a hand.

Zachary and Andrew, our twin grandsons, are in charge of enterainment at the Ranch - really!

Lucy Acosta is
responsible for all the cooking at Double E Ranch. She's creative
with food, both Mexican and American dishes and makes sure your
meals are on time and plentiful. Always smiling, it's a
pleasure to see her in the kitchen every day! Remember to let her know if you have any food issues. She will do her very best to accommodate you. |
