Things you may want to know about Trinity Farm and Horse Camp… The Trinity Farm gang has been involved with riding and horses as students for 17 years and as horse owners for 13 years. We moved to our 8.5 acres in August 2005 to fulfill a dream of owning our own place to raise, ride, train, and share the joy that our equine family has brought to us.

  • Safety is of utmost concern whenever involved with these large animals.
  • All campers will be guided and supervised in proper behavior while around horses.
  • Children will have daily mounted lessons and will be required to wear a helmet, long pants and firm soled shoes.
  • Proper safety around all of our farm animals will be stressed.
  • Our goal is to share our farm and have fun learning about and loving horses.
  • Campers will need to bring a sack lunch and drinks for the day.

The farm is owned by supervising adult, Mary Lynn Foster. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (317) 539-5081, or email info@TrinityFarmIndiana.com.

Winter is Coming to Indiana! Will You be Ready to Ride?

Posted on August 29, 2011 by

Winter is Coming to Indiana! Will You be Ready to Ride?Yes, we know it’s early, but we want to head off and clarify any questions about our riding lessons through the winter. We do teach in all seasons , but, of course, respect that some days are appropriate to bend to Mother Nature’s will. (The ice storm of last winter comes to mind; we did take time off since none of our horses have the ability to skate. Hmmm.)

Riders who plan to “show” through the Winter Tournaments will need to ride at least once a week to be properly prepared for the show season, so plan ahead and learn about layering techniques. We have some pretty tough riders that have done some creative work about staying warm while riding, and are usually more than willing to share their secrets!

Read more about how to properly dress for outdoor exercise during the winter: “Cold Weather Exercise Tip: How to Layer Clothing” (opens in new window)

Of course, the lounge will be heated for our non-riding family members!!

Wear Proper Dress at Riding Lessons for Efficiency and Safety

TuffRider Performance LowRise Kentucky Jodphurs available at EquestrianCollections.com (opens in new window)

Proper dress for horse riding lessons is not just fashionable, it is functional for performance and safety!

We are always try to be flexible with new riders to give them time to get established and find out if this is the right fit for them before they invest in riding clothes. However, while we have not made it mandatory for riders to be properly dressed for lessons, there has been a trend recently toward wearing jeans, sweats pants, cowboy boots, and other clothes that are not in keeping with saddleseat riding.

If you have recently started riding lessons at Trinity Farms, and decided that this is the place for you, please start looking to purchase proper riding attire – kentucky jod pants (or jod pants) and jod boots or paddock boots. This is not an arbitrary decision; as in other sports, proper riding apparel and equipment is designed to provide efficiency and protection for the rider:

  • The clothing lends itself to aid in developing correct riding position, allows for flexibility while also protecting areas that are prone to rub or chafe.
  • Jod or paddock boots support proper foot position while maintaining safety in the stirrup.

We are always on the lookout for good deals on riding clothes, and to help pass on outgrown clothing to ‘the next kid’. For example, right now, Target has an unusual area in the girls section that offers jod pants that are flexible and appropriate riding gear, which sell for around $10.

Please make sure to have your rider tidy for their lesson, with shirts tucked in and hair tied back – both functional and appropriate for safety reasons – nothing flapping and nothing in the eyes.

Read our updated flyer with information about proper riding clothing for lessons: “Help for New Riders and Parents”. (PDF opens in new window)

We’ll see you at the Farm!

Riding Instructor Search for Trinity Farms Starting

Posted on August 29, 2011 by

We will be conducting a search for additional instructor help to make more riding times available, and to fill schedule slots now that our summer helpers have headed back to class. We can use your help in this process.

Please contact us with information and feedback about any instructors you encounter. We will be looking for candidates that are a good match for our facility, with a personality and temperament that is in keeping with our farm family.

Any instructors brought into the program will be trialed before being “adopted” into the family. You will be asked to give both formal and informal feedback, so please look for both strengths and blind-spots as they present themselves.

Help us find a riding instructor who is the right fit for us, and you. Thanks!
