Triple Creek Ranch

What Triple Creek Ranch does

Triple Creek Ranch is a family-owned equestrian facility situated on 64 acres in Longmont, Colorado, founded in 1991 by Lynn McChesney. The business offers horse boarding (stall and paddock), riding lessons delivered through a structured six-level curriculum, horse shows in hunter/jumper and combined test formats, youth programs including summer camps and seasonal mini programs, an eventing team, and a horse lease program. Its customer base consists of recreational riders, horse owners, and youth riders in northern Colorado's equestrian market.

The facility's core infrastructure is physical rather than digital: a cross-country course, indoor and outdoor arenas, paddocks, and horse care systems operated by an 11-person staff. There is no AI, software platform, or proprietary technology stack referenced; operational capability is delivered through trainer expertise and on-site amenities. Service delivery is supported by partnerships with VetWerx for veterinary care and integration into the USEA Area IX council, which extends competition reach across Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana.

Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription-style recurring contracts (monthly boarding at $975-$1,075 and lessons at $380-$760) and transactional revenue (per-entry horse show fees starting at $100, summer camps at $600-$750 per session, the Thanksgiving Mini Program, lease fees, and branded TCR Apparel). Customer acquisition is community-led and event-driven, relying on word-of-mouth within regional equestrian networks. Demand appears to exceed current capacity, evidenced by documented 8-12 month waitlists for beginner lessons.

Direct peers

• Woodloch Stables: Family-oriented horseback riding center providing lessons, pony rides, and group activities. Comparable community-driven positioning and youth-focused programming, though smaller in competitive offering.
• Bear Creek Equestrian Center: Equestrian facility offering boarding, lessons, and training with multi-level instruction and a strong youth program focus. Directly comparable service portfolio and customer segments to TCR.
• Carousel Stables: Family-run equestrian center offering riding lessons, summer camps, and boarding with a similar community-driven, multi-level curriculum. Closely comparable in target customer (youth and amateur riders), service mix, and community-led GTM motion.
• Whitestone Equestrian Center: Boarding and training facility with hunter/jumper focus, multi-discipline lessons, and a strong show program. Comparable boarding-plus-lesson-plus-show revenue mix and customer demographic.
• Elvenstar Equestrian Center: Multi-discipline equestrian facility providing lessons, camps, and shows for youth and adult riders. Comparable as a vertically integrated equestrian services operator with show series and structured curriculum.
• Stable View: Eventing-focused equestrian facility with training, boarding, and recognized competitions. Comparable in its eventing team, USEA-aligned competition pipeline, and high-end coaching talent.

Broad incumbents

• Tryon International Equestrian Center: Large-scale destination equestrian venue hosting FEI-recognized competitions across disciplines. Comparable in offering shows and eventing infrastructure but operates at materially larger scale and as a multi-venue destination rather than a community barn.

Others

• USEA (United States Eventing Association): National governing body for eventing competitions, of which TCR trainer Rebecca Caulfield is an Area IX Council member. Relevant as ecosystem partner enabling TCR's competitive eventing pipeline rather than a commercial competitor.

Regional players

• Two Spruce Farm: Berthoud, Colorado-based equestrian operation owned by TCR instructor Jody Marken. Comparable as a Colorado Front Range equestrian service provider, though smaller in scope than TCR.
• Aspen Equestrian Center: Colorado-based equestrian facility offering lessons, boarding, and trail riding. Comparable as a regional Colorado equestrian services peer with overlapping boarding and lesson offerings.
