Welcome to Horse Tail Trails' Pets, Animals & You!
Pets, Animals, & You is a branch of Horse Tail Trails. We are devoted to providing interesting and unique recipes for the animals in your life.
Horse Tail Trails knows how important our pets and animals are to us. They are a part of our family, and living in Northern New Mexico, our animals may also be our livelihood.
Furry family members; cats, dogs, horses, goats, cows, etc. effect our lives more than we realize. They give us purpose, love, hope, and help relieve stress (most of the time!)
Even wild animals coexist with us in our backyards. Daytime songs of birds and moonlight serenades by coyotes; hawks and snakes keeping our rodent population down; bats dining on those pesky mosquitoes. We’ve all had our fair share of animal encounters.
