Training, Showing, Breeding, and Boarding of American Saddlebred

I Love Horses! I especially love to watch and train young horses and riders. I grew up with horses and have worked with American Saddlebred. I have won numerous championships ribbons which continued through adulthood and profession. I was voted Horse Person of the Year through our association. Life member of the American Saddlebred Horse Association. I have my national judges card.

I am intentional about helping truly dedicated riders realize their potential while creating an environment for horses to thrive as top athletes. Her hyper-individualized approach and commitment to consistency in training have yielded success for her students on both national and local levels. I have coached multiple students to their first victories and appearances. 

I have a remarkable ability to match horses and riders; when it comes to executing training programs, my vision is clear, patient, and precise.  

As I have explained at the Stables, “I keep it pretty simple. Training horses is like anything—it’s all about being consistent. You do the same thing the same way daily—it becomes a habit. Horses understand that.” To learn more about my teaching style, my an appointment. 

Like many horse industry professionals, horses are a family affair. My Parents started LaFleur Stables in the mid-60s. Since then, we have seen many horse lovers learn to ride, some going on to show. One of our several family-owned horses, of whom we are very proud, is Blue. He has a fun personality and has won numerous shows. He especially won at the World Championship with a 12 yr old rider.
On a personal note, I have two grown sons who live in the area. Yellow lab dog that I enjoy for my companion. I especially enjoy instructing those who ride for the love of the horse!
