Meet the Lesson Horses • Cascade Stables • New Orleans, LA

LESSON HORSES

These are Cascade Stables' beloved best friends; our lesson horses. These horses each bring their own personality to our lesson program, and help our riders learn all skills of riding. From helping riders learn to steer and post at the trot, to making their first pass in the show ring, the lesson horses of Cascade are the heart of our program.

Come meet our lesson horses in person and let them take you for the ride of your life!

Call (504) 891-2246 or e-mail us to arrange your visit and take your first lesson!
