About Us
Who We Are
Spirit of Texas Arabians is a Full Care Horse Boarding facility that is owned and run by Hank and Selena Copeland. We offer Full Care Boarding at an ideal location for the trail rider, located near Dallas / Fort Worth. We love Arabians, but other breeds are welcome. Our gate opens onto 75 miles of permanently marked equestrian trails on the LBJ National Grasslands, the perfect location for scenic trail riding and training on the trails. Our obstacle course is a great place to prepare for Competitive Trail and Working Equitation events. We have been in business for over 20 years, most of the that time we trained horses and riders for endurance and trail riding. Although we no longer train, you can count on having experienced people to care for your horse and accompany you on the trail or help with advice.
Full Care - Horse Boarding
One of our farm gates opens right onto 75 miles of well marked horse trails at the LBJ Grasslands, no trailering required to head out on the trails. We also have a full size dressage arena, a small indoor arena with mirrors and a working equitation / trail obstacle course to allow practice for ACTHA, Competitive Trail, and Working Equitation events judged on obstacles. Our 16 stall barn stays warm in the winter and all horses are blanketed as needed. In the summer we can open it up for ample air flow in the aisle and 12 x 12 stalls. We also give each horse a fan for staying cool in the summer. All stalls get ample shavings and are cleaned daily. Horses get daily turn-out weather permitting-in large managed coastal Bermuda pastures with large oak shade trees. Pastures are fenced with pipe and non-climb 2x4 horse wire.
