About Us
A Little About Our Operation
Hello, welcome to Cactus Trail Ranch, a family owned and operated ranch by Jacob Bennet and his family in Mission, Texas. Our passion for producing high-quality horses is evident, with over 30 years of experience, complemented by Bennet’s upbringing in a family dedicated to raising horses. The driving force behind their success is the exceptional Cactus Trail Ranch Crew.
I, Jacob Bennet started my journey in the horse industry in 1990 when I purchased my first pony. I spent an entire year devoted to training, riding, and teaching him fun tricks like laying down, sitting, and bowing. I sold him later that year; the feeling of providing a well trained, well behaved, horse was so rewarding that I felt I wanted to continue to share my gift. In 2007, I married my awesome wife Denyse, and we have been blessed with six incredible children that participate daily with the operation of the farm. What started as myself and a dream has become the full time commitment of my family, and ten employees. The opportunity to share our horsemanship has been so rewarding. In kind, we have been so blessed to learn from professional experts and knowledgeable friends that have voluntarily poured into us their invaluable years of knowledge.
Our program has developed, changed, and grown along the way to ensure that we are producing a quality horse that we know we can stand behind. We enjoy the horses, the lifestyle and the lifelong friendships we have made through our business. We are committed and passionate about training the true “All-Around” horse. Conformation, Breeding, All-Around Performance and disposition combined into one individual that is safe, sound and ready for you to enjoy.
This has been an awesome journey, and God continues to bless and humble us each and every day. All of us, from our children to our employees, want to provide the best quality horses that you and your families will enjoy for years to come. Over the years we have experienced that the horse market changes, but also that a quality horse is always in high demand. If you see a horse that meets your needs, please reach out to us. I look forward to working with you personally about your next equine partner. May God bless your day.
