Two Ponyz Ranch sits on land that holds an important place in New Mexico’s history. The Abo ruins, just a short trail ride from Two Ponyz, were once a Tompiro Indian village identified by Don Juan de Oñate in 1598. Pronounced Abó (probably meaning “water bowl”), the pueblo was beneficially positioned on a major east-west trade route through Abo Pass, a shallow gap that divides the Manzano and Los Pinos Mountains. A well-worn footpath that was part of a larger trade route system between 1300 and 1600, the Abo Pass is now a scenic byway that begins east of Belen, follows NM 47 southeast to US 60, and links El Camino Real National Scenic Byway and the Salt Missions Trail Scenic Byway. The Mission of San Gregorio was founded next to the Abo pueblo in 1629 and a large church and convent were constructed. The church’s enormous walls have mostly survived, even though the pueblo and mission were abandoned (like neighboring Gran Quivira and Quarai) because of relentless Apache raids before the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. The Abo ruins are now part of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument.
