We have been coming here weekly for 4 years now and have never had a bad experience. It’s the highlight of my daughters week and she has developed a love and skill that will serve her throughout her life. Neva is no nonsense with her instructions but she is by no stretch of the imagination mean or have I ever heard her swear like another reviewer stated. She cares about the horses and she cares about the riders, especially if they want to learn. Pictures of my daughter at her first lesson and a more recent. You can see how far she has come thanks to La Fleurs excellent coaching.

I love la fluer stables. Such a great barn! Very clean, professional, super nice staff and trainers. I immediately felt welcomed by La Fluer, which I really needed at the time. The horses are so sweet, i immediately fell in love with a lot of them. I am so grateful for all the lessons I took here and hope to come back soon and ride 🙂

My daughter has been taking lessons here for 2 years and it has been an amazing experience! Neva and the staff at La Fleur are extremely knowledgeable and have been instrumental in the growth of my daughter as a confident rider. I highly recommend Neva and La Fluer Stables!

We were very disappointed with the Horse Lover Camp. Despite our child spending the whole day at the facility, she was only allowed to ride for 30 minutes. This policy was not communicated clearly upfront, although I admit I didn’t inquire about it beforehand.

Moreover, we had an unfortunate experience with the owner. When we requested a discount on the helmet rental after having rented it for the third time, she responded unprofessionally and threatened to prevent our daughter from riding if we didn’t pay immediately. Her attitude was quite rude.

On a positive note, the counselors working there were friendly, and the location is beautiful.

I've been riding here for 6 years now and it's been the best thing for me. I'm more confident and I've found something I love that I want to keep doing the rest of my life. All of the horses are so, so sweet unique, having their own lessons to teach. All of the people there are amazing as well, passionate about the horses and about learning. The barn itself is beautiful and clearly designed with the horses in mind. 100% worth every lesson and every dollar.

I gifted my niece a camp here for her birthday a couple weeks ago and she loved it. She spent her mornings learning all about the horses and how they're cared for, watched some of the more professional riders show off with the fancy horses, and riding in the "chariet" (which she loved).
I came to watch one of the lessons and the two girls teaching were very patient with everyone there, the kids were encouraged to try new things and push their limits, but never forced into anything they didn't choose to do. The kiddos were treated with respect, something that not many recieve, there was no babying. The kids all seemed to be having fun and learning.
In the afternoon my niece was able to lead James, the amazing horse she rode all by herself, taking him outside to play with his friends. She also was able to feed him his "dinner". She ended most days playing games with her new friends, unwinding after a long day of hard work and learning.
She came home with a whole lot of stories and knowledge to share, character and responsibility built, and thoroughly tuckered out and ready for the soundest night of sleep.

My daughter and I have been taking monthly Saddleseat riding lessons for two years now at LaFleurs Stables/Madison Riding Academy commuting from OshKosh, WI. We moved our horses from OshKosh to New London & were looking to continue to learn through group riding lessons. We found that Neva covers a wide variety of concepts including balance refinement, strengthening, building suppleness in the bridle, flexibility, maneuvering around obstacles, best safety practices, patterns; in addition to building connection & relaxation with any horse-not just your horses at home. Many times if the weather is favorable-we end our lesson with a trail ride that follows the beautifully landscaped property that brings enjoyment to the horse & rider alike. During our lessons we have ridden over ten different horses-each with something new to teach.

We have attended three clinics at Maple Ridge Farm in New London where Neva has traveled to provide group lessons with our own Saddlebreds. Additional time is offered after riding to discuss challenges & successes each rider is experiencing. Neva offers advice for next steps with their equine partners as well as additional opportunities to continue to grow.

We have benefited from training where our horses are trailered in for a week to reintroduce driving & new riding skills. Last Summer she provided strengthening exercises for us to build our horses muscle after he recovered from an injury. She also provided a list of helpful grooming & tack maintenance products to keep our horses & equipment looking their best.

This weekend we attended our first horse show as (Amateur-Owner-Trainers). She is extremely knowledgeable and welcoming to all who want to learn more or are fumbling over new found independence. I greatly admire her ability to know what to do in any situation. I’ve experienced firsthand her ability to see potential & encourage growth in our horses & riders by offering any opportunity you are looking for. All you have to do is ask. Neva has been a wonderful gift to us & our horses. We can do so much more under her guidance & have avoided being stuck or lost within our own limitations.

I highly recommend LaFleurs Stables/Madison Riding Academy-they can accommodate any rider or offer any horse experience you are looking for.❤️🐴❤️

Hope to see you there! Christina

La Fleur Stables has been absolutely wonderful for our daughter! She has riden there for many yrs & is incredibly comfortable there & riding is the highlight of her wk. Neva is a great trainer & instructor & her knowledge of the horse world is immense! I personally learn something new every wk. The instructors who help Neva are also very knowledgeable & the environment is very safe & the stables & arena are immaculately kept!
The horses are healthy & taken care of very well & my daughter loves spoiling them with lots of care & attention & a carrot here & there.
You will learn every aspect of care for a horse. You'll muck the stall, brush them & have a blast riding them as the reward for your hard work. You'll need to put in some work to enjoy the benefit of riding but definitely worth it.
You won’t go wrong by picking La Fleur Stables as the place to ride & fall in love with horses!
