We provide tailored boarding and training options for motivated horse-and-riders seeking meaningful progress.
Our program and facility are ideal for riders looking to deepen their understanding, strengthen their skills, and enjoy a productive summer in a cooler climate. We also offer short term care for horse owners on vacation. Our ranch is located in northern Taos County, New Mexico. Ute Creek Ranch consists of 150 acres of fenced grazing pastures, barns and arena, paddocks, hay production and stream.

Ute Creek Ranch is a paradise for horses – 150 acres in which they can graze and run. They’re with other horses like nature intended… with Nicole carefully matching for compatibility. They get excellent attention year-round With supplements only as needed and much gentle care and love. Whether you need training or simply boarding, I do not know of a better place for a horse. Nicole is the best horse woman I’ve known in my whole life, and Jonathan provides much love and barn care for the horses. If you want your horse pampered, Ute Creek Equine is the place. My horse, Dash – a 25 year old Arabian, was treated like $1 million race horse

Amazing, beautiful place where horses can be horses with lots of room to roam. A great place to have your youngster started.

What a red-letter day! Almost exactly five months since he arrived at Ute Creek Equine, I was able to ride my handsome chestnut boy. Thanks to the meticulous care and training of Nicole Trousdale, this lovely horse is overcoming neglect that resulted in malnutrition, hoof issues, and ringworm. To mark a new life, this off-track thoroughbred has a new name, the same as Secretariat’s in his stable: Red

Nicole’s combination of knowledge, experience, judgment and compassion is unique in my interactions with the equine world. I felt totally comfortable making decisions with her, even at a distance, and was always confident that my mare was receiving exemplary care.

I’m really working to approach my colts training differently from what I’m used to, and he’s learning so much with the groundwork that totally connects to riding for both of us. The work is amazing for the bond between us, too. Im having so much fun.
