The Chase Horse Training & Riding Instruction

"I'm so glad I found The Chase! The horses and people are amazing. Eric is a great trainer and I have improved so much as a rider since I started riding here a year ago. I enjoy every lesson and I'm always looking forward to the next one."

"Wonderful barn, wonderful horses and a wonderful trainer. Eric Noel is an experienced trainer and judge who gives people the proper freedom to learn. He knows when to step in and correct. He allows people to get their own feel for riding, and then tweaks their learned behaviors to create a beautiful and well thought out learning program. The fine balance between hands on and hands off allows trainees to learn at their own pace, without being forced to do something they lack confidence in. This place is very hands on, so come help make this barn a better place. If you want to learn the fundamentals of horsemanship, horse care and jumping horses, this is the place for you. This happy boy was just relocated here. He very much approves!"

"I’ve been riding at The Chase with Eric for almost a year and I have learned so much. The people here are so sweet and understanding, and are always willing to help. My experience here is way better then other barns I’ve been to before. My favorite thing about the Chase is riding in group lessons with my friends on my favorite horses, I can’t imagine myself at any other barn."

"I believe I have already made a review for the chase a couple years ago, but I’d like to make another one because I’ve advanced a lot in riding since then. The chase is a wonderful place to ride, the horses are treated great, we learn a lot, and Eric is a great instructor! In the past year, I’ve learned so so much, and I owe it to the chase! This barn is amazing, I definitely recommend"

"I've ridden with Eric for many years and he is an excellent trainer and horseman. If you really want to learn how to ride, and not just pose as your horse packs you around, he's the trainer for you. I have always appreciated that he explains how mistakes affect the horse so you can understand why making a change is important, and his focus is on teaching correct balance and use of the aids so that horse and rider can work in unison. He has lots of years' experience successfully retraining off-track thoroughbreds (I have two) and is very good at teaching the type of light-hands riding these horses require to go quietly in a new job. While the facility is not fancy, the horses are happy and very well cared for, and they noticeably all really like Eric. I highly recommend The Chase for riding lessons and training, whether you are interested in showing or just want to improve your riding skills."
