I once rode up on two black panthers, they did not attack. They did however try to stop me from voting for trump.

No worries on the horse or on foot.
Haven't there been documented cases of joggers and even bike riders getting attacked by mountain lions? I bring no links with me to the discussion, just thought I remember hearing this.

One human on foot is not in danger.
Source? Me. I lived in a jungle hammock for about 5 years and studied them daily as a side hobby working with Costa Rican park rangers. I collected DNA and tracks and have seen them (only one at a time) by myself walking and would awake daily to fresh tracks. I've also talked with village elders and park rangers of many countries and none of them have ever heard of an attack on man, even though most were scared of the big cats. But, I have seen a horse that was attacked and killed by one. The owner of the horse told me that it is super rare for jag to attack a horse.

What part of N.M. do you live in?
I was up in the Rincon Mountains in Mora County at a pretty high altitude and there was a small water source in the area.
I'm just visiting friends in the area now, but I've started looking for some land there. There a couple of places on the market with live water and no state lease land, so that is a plus. For trailering horses, it is a lot easier drive from where I live than either Colorado or Montana.

There have been cases of attacks in California where they allow no lion hunting.

I think you would have a less chance of getting attacked on horse with dogs around than hiking solo. Cats aren't dumb. They want the best odds of a meal without injury to themselves.
Most cat attacks I've read about the victim never saw it coming. If they make themselves visible you most likely safe.

Ms. Toni, is this your ranch?
How many acres do you have?
Do you have mule deer and elk?
Do you have handy cap ramps, and whirlpools?

I've been on a horse twice when it saw a snake. I didn't stay on either for very long.
What does you being a poor rider have to do with this?
I would expect most horses to not Freak out unless they have been attacked before.

Obvious you don't ride horses.

Raised on a farm with horses. Owned and raised horses most my life.

I saw it from about 100 yards away, downhill from me walking through the trees. It didn't see me, and I lost sight of where it went. Needless to say, I didn't walk down that draw.

It is a family friend's ranch, but I've been trying to find a nice small ranch in Northern N.M. It is hard because I want live water with fishing and good hunting. I don't hunt or fish (unless someone casts for me and lets me reel them in
). But, I have friends who do and when I get married I assume my husband will be an outdoor type of guy.
There are two tracts with no improvements that are adjacent to one another that may fit the bill, but that means trying to acquire two at the same time. They are also in a remote area. Both tracts have the same source of year round water, though the mountainous tract the water source parallels the road. The tract that the water cuts through the center is fairly flat, though both tracts are in the mountains.

Sounds very nice, looks like you've done some homework on the area, especially the 2 tracts.

Predator's in this part of the world associate dogs with hunters and are real wary of them, Was lucky enough to spend a month camping on a guides place, just south of Glacier NP, and he was absolutely sold on routinely walking dogs around our site. They had a big grizzly problem and his wife was stalked by big green eye's more than one night and saw ML tracks. Both said dogs were way of life for them.
On the other hand.
Was solo hiking slot canyons in Utah and wondering how cool it was to wander up on two big horns kids, about 30 yards overhead to my right (where it opened up some), until I suddenly noticed a mountain lion about the same distance (and slightly overhead) on other side of slot canyon. We did a Mexican stand off for very-short (but intense for me) time, until deciding to grab/swing my day pack around and step forward. He ran off pretty quick... the sheep just sorta moseyed on with long stares back. (edit: 4way bad spell'n)

I looked at a small but very rugged ranch in Wyoming (near the badlands NE of Shoshone National Forest). I liked the house and the property, but it was in grizzly bear country so I decided that maybe I need to be farther south. I've seen the grizzly bears in Yellowstone and they scare me. Black bears do not though I read that when black bears attack, they do so to eat you.

They could, yes
