Harry Touloumis
Wild Horse Harry got his first taste of horses at the age of eight and later, as a young man, he worked ranches in New Mexico. He started driving draft horses in 1983 at Colter Bay Lodge in Wyoming. He has been shoeing horses and blacksmithing for 36 years. Besides his horseshoeing business, Harry also has a herd of draft horses that he uses in his carriage/wagon business; he schools’ horses and the people who drive them. He has been in Corrales since 1985 and on the CHAMP Board since 2014. Harry has appeared along with his driving team in movies filmed in New Mexico and can be counted on to participate in local parades and events. He actively supports the mission and values of CHAMP as well as Corrales’s equine community.

Since 2011, our family has been fortunate to call the Village of Corrales home. We deeply appreciate all this unique community has to offer, especially its vibrant equestrian culture and outdoor spaces. As lifelong horse enthusiasts, my wife, two daughters, and I feel blessed to be part of the Corrales equestrian community. In addition to our professional lives, we also run a small horse boarding facility here in the Village. While it keeps us plenty busy, we’ve found that caring for animals and spending time as a family go hand in hand.
I’m excited to serve with CHAMP, as I believe it’s a wonderful opportunity to further support the equestrian community and foster stronger connections throughout the Village.

I am a life-long horse person and farrier for 25 years. My love of horses has led me in many directions: from Jumpers to Reining and everything in between. I have volunteered extensively in 4H and Pony Club. Over the years I have volunteered or provided services to Colorado Horse Rescue and the Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center. I feel very strongly that it is important to give back to the community and the animals that enrich our lives every day.
Currently, I wrangle a small herd of miniature donkeys, try to convince a Knabstrupper that Dressage is a fabulous idea, care for a lovely aging Thoroughbred, and enjoy hacking on the best Quarter Horse ever.

I like to say that Marty, the New Mexico Moose, followed us here from our backyard in Alaska. Our cricket-fearing Alaskan dogs have adjusted well (although they are greatly confused by horses and donkeys not quite smelling or acting like moose). My husband, who is from Albuquerque, and I ride a tandem bicycle and are enjoying exploring the beautiful trails that surround us. Recently, I have started horseback riding with Wobbly Ranch and hope to own a horse soon as I am hooked! As an amateur artist, I am delighted to explore the color palette of the high desert. Living on an acre of sage brush and chollas, I can play my cello loud and proud without offending neighbors’ ears. Being passionate about wildlife and the preservation of community and culture, I look forward to doing my part to help keep the Village of Corrales the vibrant and rich community that it is. I am honored to serve.
