OUR HORSES

Riding Lessons at The Trinity Ranch Santa Fe

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.

Ace, Belle, Cadman, Carmen, Dally, Dex, Elf, & Lark 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! 🏆

Our 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 Trinity 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 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 ❤️

The Trinity Ranch is proud to welcome Carmen, a fancy APHA/PtHA overo mare. Carmen is a dream horse. In addition to being exceptionally trained, she may be the sweetest mare we have ever met!

Carmen is the 2021 Pinto World Championship High Point 10 & Under horse winning three Reserve World Champions and many Top 5 and Top 10’s with Pierce. She also had multiple Top 10’s at the 2021 APHA World Show. She is also both a CONGRESS and RESERVE CONGRESS Champion. She has earned multiple year end national titles and over 5,000 APHA and PtHA points in Open, Amateur, and Youth events combined. She has ultra-smooth gaits and is a beautiful mover.

Eternal gratitude to Pierce for allowing your nice mare to join us! ❤️


Meet Princess Elf ❤️

The Trinity Ranch is proud to introduce TTR Princess Elf, a beautiful Registered Welsh Section B Pony.

Elf is perfect for both our youth riders and even our petite adults! She has years of professional training, is a personality plus, and is a very typey model Welsh/unicorn dream pony. Elf has been shown at intro level dressage with a youth rider and has a lovely shoulder in/more advanced movements with a knowledgeable adult.

Elf is on loan to us from Pierce Parks who received her as a birthday present for his 8th birthday and has outgrown her. Prior to that, she belonged to another child. Elf is a unicorn ❤️

Thank you for sharing your sweet pony with us, Pierce!
