OUR HORSES
SANTA FE’S NUMBER ONE LESSON PROGRAM
At The Trinity Ranch, we believe in giving our students the opportunity to learn from safe, kind, educated schoolmasters. Riders should have the chance to learn from exceptionally proven lesson horses to build confidence, a deeper connection, increased skill and more opportunities for riding time and partnership.
Cocoa, Belle, Lark, Dex, Carmen, Elf, & Dally are special - perfect at helping our beginner and novice riders get started under saddle- each with an impressive show record to help develop more advanced riders ready to enhance their skills! We search high and low across the United State to find horses that meet our high standards in terms of education, experience, temperament, character, and soundness. They are worth their weight in gold! 🏆
TTR horses receive top-of-the-line care: daily grooming, blanketing, turnout, trail rides in addition to arena time, premium feeds, farrier, and vet care. They deserve and get the best 👑
One of the benefits of riding at TTR is that in addition to having a large outdoor arena and a USDF regulation-sized Dressage arena, we have an indoor arena- inclement weather doesn’t slow us down ❄️
Meet Cocoa ❤️
TTR Cocoa is a lovely APHA/PtHA Overo Mare.
Cocoa is both a CONGRESS CHAMPION and a WORLD CHAMPION. She has earned over 4,729 PtHA points and 550 APHA points in a variety of western and English events. She is perfect for youth and adult beginning riders. Cocoa is an exceptional horse for our students to love and learn from.
Cocoa is a real treasure. She has a heart of gold and has carried her two little girls Madison and Morgan to the national winner’s circle many times during the 8 years they have owned her. Thank you for trusting us with your sweet girl and making Trinity her new home ❤️
Congrats to Elizabeth on Cocoa’s 2024 lease!
Meet Dex ❤️
TTR Dex is a tall, dark and handsome 16.2h Blue Roan Gelding.
Bought by Jpp and Cat as a two year old, Dex was running wild on 10,000 acres. He then began an 8+ year training process of progressing through the snaffle bit, hackamore, two rein, and into the spade. Dex is a true bridle horse, a work of art.
Dex is a Renaissance man. He has climbed mountains, crossed the dessert, roped and branded, moved thousands of cattle, competed in timed sorting events, started colts, taught clinics. He’s now a WORLD CHAMPION AND RESERVE WORLD CHAMPION in Western Dressage.
Dex is a true gift to our students of every level ❤️
Congrats to Beth H. on Dex’s 2024 lease!
Meet Belle ❤️
TTR Belle is a beautiful, triple-registered sabino AQHA/APHA/PtHA Mare. She is kind, quiet, and pretty as a My Little Pony.
Belle was owned and shown at major shows by a youth rider. She has multiple Top 10’s at the PtHA World Show. Belle is sweet and slow with the tiniest rider and has a jog as smooth as glass. She is great for our Novice riders to learn from. We absolutely love her.
Congrats to Rosemary on Belle’s 2024 lease!
Meet Lark ❤️
TTR Lark is a beautiful 16.1h AQHA/ABRA/IBHA Buckskin Mare. She is perfect for both our advancing youth riders and has a lot of refinement to teach our more experienced riders. She is sweet, calm, and forgiving.
A true all-around, Lark does whatever she is asked. She has been shown in western pleasure, hunt seat, and even speed events. She has extensive professional training in dressage as well. Lark is an OPEN ALL-AROUND WORLD CHAMPION, RESERVE WORLD CHAMPION, and CONGRESS CHAMPION. She has also shown to 3x Top 10 at the Western Dressage World Championship. Lark has earned over 600 points showing.
We used to own Lark’s mother… so this is a special addition to our program. Her bloodlines have generations of World Champions. It’s no surprise that she lived up to her potential in the show ring and is now ready to pay it forward teaching our students ❤️
Congrats to Kathryn on Lark’s 2024 lease!
Meet Carmen San Diego ❤️
