A Vision on the Path to Reality

Located eight miles from downtown Dallas in the Great Trinity Forest, the Texas Horse Park is creating an international-caliber competition venue to be enjoyed by local residents as well as world travelers.  It provides beautiful riding trails for the public and offers a variety of riding programs.
