Tenna Hansen has been a trainer and consultant for Trifecta Farms LLC for over 4 years. Her horsemanship background along with her love of thoroughbreds has been very helpful to our program: training our racetrack horses, finding second careers after our horses finish racing, and re-training our rescue horses.

Her unique style blends natural horsemanship with classical dressage. This allows her to better address both the physical and mental challenges involved in the training of horses. It also enhances her ability to best develop training programs that have the horses' welfare as the top priority.

"Tenna Hansen is a wonderful, knowledgeable, caring trainer. She has been helping my 11 year old daughter and I with our new horse. Not only is she furthering our horse's training, she is helping us learn how to work with our horse, build a bond with him, and also is giving us riding lessons.

Not only is she great with training the horse but she is also great with my daughter and me. She has so much patience. She is kind and calm yet can be firm when she needs to be. She never displays anger towards the horses..

I'm amazed at the control she exhibits. She really understands horses and that each horse has it's own personality and how to deal with that personality. Her knowledge of horses is very impressive and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a trainer for their horse or lessons for themselves. I can't say enough good things about her."

"Tenna is a wonderful trainer. She is very nice to the people that she works with and she knows how to handle spooky or bratty horses. She is firm with the horses when she needs to be and calm if they spook. She also has been very helpful to me and my mom. She has taught us a lot about horses and she is still teaching us more.

We are so happy that we have Tenna teaching us how to handle our horse and what to do in a sticky situation. If I kept going on about the wonderful things Tenna does you would have to read about a million or two million more pages."

"It is my pleasure to recommend one of the most innovative dressage trainers in all of Los Angeles, Tenna Hansen. Her holistic approach to riding assists students, of any age, in the development of a true partnership with horses.

Tenna's creative problem solving approach to horse and rider challenges is both unique and inspirational and she is dearly loved by all of her students. Tenna possesses exceptional technical expertise, and a steady, calm demeanor, which have earned her the respect and admiration of her peers in the community. She is a team player with amazing integrity and a great sense of humor.

It is a joy and privilege to know Miss Hansen and I cannot recommend her highly enough."

Clare Wren, MA, Marriage and Family Therapy Intern: NARHA registered riding instructor.

"We have a young nervous horse who had been trained by highly recognizable trainers, all of whom had decided that he was a hopeless case. We were referred to Tenna by a well respected trainer/friend and from the onset we were impressed by her talent, patience and kindness.

Within weeks our horse transformed from being chronically worried to calm and confident. We were so thrilled with his progress that we asked Tenna to train and maintain our other horses, 3 of whom are grand prix (FEI) and another at training level. She continues to do an excellent job with the horses and they are relaxed and happy with the work."
