Le Cheval Sport Horses

I have been working with Lauren for the past year as her assistant instructor. I've ridden with some top hunter/jumper barns and briefly in Germany. I could not feel more at home and happier here. Lauren, the head trainer and owner, is very knowledgable and KIND. She cares about every single horse and wants every rider to succeed. The barn is a fun atmosphere where everyone supports one another and safety is stressed. There are novice to experienced riders here, some with horses and some without! In addition to assisting with lessons, I take weekly lessons with Lauren. Her lessons are always challenging and educational. She uses a variety of exercises to build confidence and ability in rider and horse. Most lessons are privates, but for more advanced riders she does offer group lessons to encourage riders to learn from one another. Le Cheval Riding Academy is located at Peacock Hill Equestrian Center inside Irvine Regional Park. Inside the center, Lauren has her own beautiful private arena that overlooks the peaceful canyon. All the horses are closely watched and maintained.

Lauren is fantastic! She's helping me get my confidence back after a nasty spill last year at a different barn. Her barn is organized, cleaned, not overcrowded and she is very responsive! Lauren!

My daughter loves riding here. Lauren, Olivia and Julie are fantastic trainers and are so patient with her. The facility is clean and well maintained. The horses are just beautiful and well trained. My daughter is learning so much!

My daughter rides here. She loves it and has made some close friends. No drama here. We are all a Big Happy Family!!! LOVE, FUN, FRIENDS AND HORSE...

Love This Place!! Lauren and her assistant trainer are so wonderful! Lauren is so patient, kind and knows so much about horses and the well being of the rider and horse. I am so grateful that I have found a perfect match for my daughter and her horse. I am sure Lauren will get her to the next level of competition....

Lauren is a wonderful trainer for both horse and rider. She is able to create individualized programs for both so that you can gain experience safely and meet your riding goals. I don't know what I would do without her and I can't recommend her enough!

If you are looking for a great trainer for yourself and your horse,whether you are a beginner or advanced rider ~ young or older ~ this girl is the best there is ~ she is patient, caring and very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of you and your horse ~ Lauren will take the extra time to make sure you are happy and safe, I have known Lauren since she was just a very young little school girl, making sure that she was at the barn every day taking care of her horses and I never doubted that she would learn everything she could to be an excellent trainer/instructor of these giant, fragile animals ~ if you love riding and love horses, you will love Lauren ~

I went to get my daughter some horse back riding lessons here and what came next was not was what I was expecting. The facility was clean but the staff members were less than ideal. I am not going back and would suggest to others to find an alternate riding academy.

I think Lauren is a fabulous instructor! And, her horses are happy and healthy! She really knows what she is doing and is very patient. I highly recommend riding with her as a beginner or advanced rider, young or old.
