FOR THE AMATEUR

LaCroix Training ~ for the Amateur Enthusiast

At LaCroix, the utmost individual attention is given to each and every valued client So that each and every horse and client can be given the attention they deserve, a limited number of horses are accepted to this program.

The LaCroixs specialize in the Saddle Seat Style of English Performance. They have, however, also had exceptional success in all other areas, training horses and riders that became National Champions in Hunter Pleasure, Show Hack, Western Pleasure and Halter.

Says Erin LaCroix, “While winning is important to all of us, we recognize that our amateurs and their families are showing horses for the fun of it . . . and for the joy of membership in this community that surrounds the horses. Over the years, we’ve found that learning, improving, and enjoying the camaraderie of friends, barn mates and peers are the most essential components in the horse-experience that remains for us the best kind of fun.”

The LaCroixs invite your inquiries regarding space availability and rates. They hope you’ll join them.

Scroll down for photos and successes of some of our Amateur horses and riders . . . and some of our LaCroix program graduates.
