It might not be the first one that comes to mind, but the wide world of sports includes horseshoe pitching, and this weekend New Mexico was at the epicenter of a national horseshoe competition.An estimated 350 competitors, supporters, and spectators descended on Mariposa Basin Park in Albuquerque this weekend for the U.S. Open Horseshoe Tournament. Pitchers came from more than a dozen states including Ohio, Idaho, California, Colorado and of course, New Mexico.”This is a fantastic opportunity for us to partner with the Albuquerque Sports Commission and the local horseshoe community,” said Dalton Rakestraw, 2nd vice president of the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association and the tournament director. “Albuquerque has an incredible venue at Mariposa Basin Park, a passionate local club and a welcoming community that make it an ideal destination for a national-caliber event.”In addition to visiting competitors, local horseshoe stars include Manuel Garcia, an Albuquerque native and New Mexico Horseshoe Club president.Also expected to make his mark is Santonio Callado, who began pitching when he was eight years old and finished second in the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association World Tournament in Sandy, Utah. He wants to finish first next time.Concentration is the key to his performance, Callado said.”I keep my mind going, not looking around, because I get kind of sidetracked looking at my Mom or looking at somebody. Then I can’t throw,” Callado said. “But when they’re not in my vision, I start throwing again and I start hitting.”

SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – The historic La Posada De Santa Fe hotel recently sold for $58 million. The 157-room hotel has been around since 1882 and has been operating as a hotel since the 1930s, making it a staple in Santa Fe. Ashford Hospitality purchased the hotel in 2018, and now Abo Empire owns it as of last month.

Cousins Ryan Price and Trey Yates, who run Abo Empire, say the sale came at the perfect time, as the family-owned oil and gas company had just offloaded a family ranch and decided to try a hand in hospitality. “We wanted to find ways of planting those dollars back into New Mexico, and that happened to be right around the time La Posada came on the market,” Price said.

The new owners of Abo Empire are New Mexican locals. They say they have strong ties to the hotel and plan on keeping the building’s tradition alive while making some improvements.

Price and Yates say their families would choose to stay at La Posada during family vacations growing up, and Price even met his wife in the hotel lobby. “It’s always held a strong place in our hearts,” Price said.

So when making improvements, they plan on preserving the hotel’s spirit. “We feel like over the last decade, the hotel’s been underinvested in,” Yates said. “We’ll be pouring back into it and improving the hotel. There’ll be some major renovations happening for the next three years. Our goal is to keep the hotel open during a large part of this process.”

Yates says they’ll be doing the renovations strategically and upgrading each casita piece by piece throughout the process. “We’re gonna look at keeping the same type of New Mexican charm as well as bringing some things up to date,” Yates said.

Crescent Hotels and Resorts, in partnership with William Cole Companies, will manage the hotel together.
