Meet Our Horses – The Heart of Texapampa
Well-Cared, Well-Trained, and Deeply Respected
At Texapampa, our horses are not just animals—they are our partners, our teachers, and the soul of every experience we offer. With a herd of 23 horses, including Quarter Horses, Appaloosas, Aztecas, and retired polo athletes, we provide calm, confident trail companions for every rider—from first-timers to experienced equestrians. Every trail ride, every training session, and every morning in the pasture begins with one core value: respect for the horse.
Each of our horses is raised and cared for on the ranch with love, freedom, and expert supervision. Our team is present daily to ensure every animal is healthy, happy, and ready to work with people in a safe and trusting way. Whether you're saddling up for a quiet ride across Oxapampa's hills or training at liberty in our open pen, the bond between human and horse here is real, strong, and unforgettable.
How We Care for Our Horses
Our ranch was built with our horses in mind—offering them freedom, space, and peace.
Open Pastures & Spacious Pens – Our horses live in large, open areas where they can move, graze, and socialize naturally.
Box Stalls When Needed – For rest, recovery, or stormy nights, we also provide individual stalls with clean bedding and fresh water.
Veterinarian On Call – We work with trusted local equine vets and perform regular checkups, preventive care, and immediate attention if ever needed.
Daily Hands-On Care – Feeding, grooming, hoof cleaning, and hydration are part of our morning and evening routines. Horses at Texapampa are seen, touched, and cared for every single day.
Because a healthy horse is a happy horse—and a happy horse builds trust with its rider.
How We Train Our Horses
We believe in natural horsemanship, liberty work, and gentle methods that prioritize the horse’s mental and emotional well-being.
Our horses are:
-
Trained at liberty before ever wearing a saddle
-
Desensitized to rivers, roads, hills, and noise to ensure confidence on trails
-
Matched to riders based on experience, confidence, and temperament
-
Re-trained continuously for responsiveness and mutual communication
-
From young colts to veteran trail horses, we work patiently to build horses that are responsive, safe, and a joy to ride—never forced, never rushed.
Horses for Every Rider
Whether you're riding for the first time or grew up in a saddle, we have the right horse for you. Texapampa offers:
Gentle, slow-paced horses for beginners and children
Intermediate trail horses for longer, mixed-terrain rides
Sporty and responsive horses for experienced riders looking for more challenge.
Every rider begins with a pen session so we can observe your style and pair you with the right horse. From there, it’s out to the trails—across rivers, open pastures, and forested slopes.
