When my husband surprised me with a gift certificate for 8 weeks of riding lessons for my 30th birthday, I had no idea that my first lesson would be the beginning of a life changing experience. Within four months of riding, I purchased my first horse and now cannot imagine my life without a horse and especially the Trinity Stables family. The friendship, knowledge, and support I have found at Trinity Stables is priceless! In addition, I never have to worry about the care my horse receives. It is such a comfort to know that my horse’s best interests are always a priority at Trinity Stables.
I cannot think of any other place I’d rather spend my free time and I always look forward to my lessons! Rhonda truly has a heart (and tons of talent!) for what she does and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure my needs as a beginner rider are met. There is a perfect balance between challenging me to achieve my goals and having fun!
Without hesitation, I would recommend Trinity Stables to anyone seeking a place to call home for both themselves and their horse. Trinity Stables has not only given my four-year-old, high-maintenance mare a place to belong, but a place for me to belong, as well. I look forward to my next 30+ years with Trinity Stables and wonder how my husband is going to top last year’s birthday present!

Terry and myself found ourselves in quite a difficult situation in which we needed to find a boarding facility practically overnight. I quickly got online and searched through the boarding advertisements and went way back to a very old advertisement. I called up and Rhonda said she had a stall available. We set a time to meet and that is when my 24-year-old horse and myself literally started a new life.
This is not your typical boarding facility, at least not one I have ever boarded at. Rhonda has a large clientele of children who she gives lessons to and if there are two things my horse loves in life it is little kids on his back and carrots! With the kids, came the parents and relatives, making the atmosphere at the barn very family oriented and warm. This, in turn, has a direct effect on my horse, which has resulted in such an obvious reduction in stress and an increase in relaxation. What I disliked so much about the other boarding facilities is that the horses were not given enough attention. The sights and sounds of kids running up and down the aisle ways of the barn made my horse feel right at home. And that is where I want to feel.
So far, my experience with having Terry with the Thiel family, my horse has aged to 29 but his disposition and health have actually visually and literally improved. The other stables I boarded at did not offer group turnout. My horse was raised on group turnout, with the exception of his show years. My horse has gained weight without having to add anything to his feed regimen. Amazingly, since my horse has been with the Thiel’s, at both the old facility and their new one, he has yet to have a colic that required anything more than a shot of Banamine, and the incidence has become less and less over time. From a horse that was once a chronic impaction colic case to an occasional gas colic recovering in less than one hour, I again attribute the positive changes in my horse’s life and his overall happiness. Furthermore, I thank Rhonda who keeps me notified, Freddy, who notifies her, and all of the other boarders who pray for him and look over him.

We have been with Rhonda Thiel for 5 years. Our daughter, Mya, was 5 years old when she started taking lessons with Rhonda. Mya has been attending her camp every summer, she’s been showing in several circuits in both English and Western, and our family has both leased and purchased a horse with Rhonda’s help. Our experience has been absolutely incredible. We have watched in amazement as our daughter has grown into an accomplished and confident young rider under Rhonda’s guidance. Rhonda is not only a great trainer, but she is a great person. We consider it an honor to have our daughter train and spend time with her. We couldn’t ask for a better role model, Mya even wants to be a horse trainer when she grows up…just like Rhonda! We recommend Rhonda Thiel and Trinity Stables without hesitation.
