A trainer who cares about the horses in her care above all. A trainer who explains calmly the why and how of your chosen discipline. Because most horses are leased or half leased students form a bond with their equine partners And all clients are nice read more

Fine for adults but not good with kids. Made my child cry. A technically skilled equestrian, she lacks the patience and leadership abilities to work well with kids. Can be charming one moment then downright mean the next, depending on mood. read more

I contacted Rachel for a course set and she always replies my email fast enough. And I have to say that I'm so impressed that unlike other places, the horses there are all clean. Rachel is patient and friendly to talk to. She is a good teacher. read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Lincourt Stables. Run by Patricia Lincourt, this barn is welcoming and friendly, with well cared for and safe horses for riders of all abilities. The tuition on offer is excellent, ranging across different disciplines and catering to different interests. As an adult retuning to riding, Pat made it easy and fun for me to regain confidence in the saddle and handing horses. She has been supportive and encouraging and seems to have an uncanny knack for offering the right bit of teaching at the right time. My confidence in her is such that I recently took the plunge and bought my own horse -- I couldn't have even considered that had I not had huge faith in Lincourt Stables and her as a trainer. read more

We've had a great experience with Lincourt Stables. My initial call two years ago was returned promptly, I was given clear instructions as to location and how to enter the lovely gated property for our first visit, and we were welcomed warmly. My daughter's riding ability was assessed, and we were easily able to schedule lessons on days that suited our family schedule. Riders have the option to ride a lesson horse, lease a horse, or ride their own horse, and all levels of ability are welcomed in a safe, friendly, supportive, and respectful environment. The trainers are constantly learning about the training, health and welfare of both horse and rider, and are enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge. If interested, there are opportunities to compete, on or off the property, for both children and adults. People ride for different reasons, and this barn truly values that unique partnership that grows between the rider and the horse. My child had loved horses forever, but wished to improve her riding enough to compete with her school's equestrian team. Lincourt Stables made that happen. They gave her the opportunity to ride a rock star pony who challenged her, but made her look good and helped her to be successful; when she outgrew him, she moved on to a kind and patient schoolmaster who taught her different lessons. All this is offered under the educated, watchful eyes of experienced trainers who REALLY know, love, and respect these horses. We've recently taken the step of purchasing our first horse, with the assistance of Patricia Lincourt, who helped us identify what we were looking for, and who was willing to take the time and effort necessary to handle the out-of-state search and purchase correctly. Very knowledgeable in all things equine, including equine health, she was a wise and patient ally throughout the process, and we could not be more satisfied. As a business owner and trainer, Pat has been professional, responsive, and engaging, and her entire staff follows suit; it's nice to be around people who enjoy what they do, and we're grateful to have found them. read more

We were introduced a couple years ago to Lincourt by our previous training who was moving her business to Sonoma. We've been training here since. The horses and trainers/teachers are great. We love the staff, it's like family. Everyone is very experienced and kind and KNOW their stuff -they make it easy to ride regularly and show. The facility is clean and well-maintained in every way. They are well-stocked with everything needed to make the barn experience the best. They teach every aspect of riding and horse and barn care. We are very grateful to have been introduced to Patricia Lincourt and her amazing staff and stable. Highly recommend. read more

Lincourt Stables - My 13 year old greeting her favorite pony Lucky Charm. - Horseback Riding Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wow! My daughter started riding lessons here two months ago and the experience has been great! Jackie is a fantastic teacher and the location is so relaxing and feels a hundred miles outside the city. I don't know who enjoys being there more, me or my daughter (she does of course:). Thanks Jackie, I really feel like Samantha is having a great experience and learning from the best. read more

A long time ago pat used to be a fabulous trainer and rider and her barn was a great thing to be apart of. Now she is positively off her rocker. And she is all into this clicker training thing which is a big hoax. Since then her quality of "training" has become nonexistent. She no lingers gives a hoot about her lessons or clients. And her groom. My goodness he terrifies a horse just by looking at it because he handles them so roughly. And when he thinks nobody is watching he abuses the daylights out of the poor innocent sweet horses. It makes me want to puke. Pat has lost a lot of respect for anybody else. She has become SO selfish it is insane. When she stops all the bs and actually sits up and rides it's nice. But it doesn't happen any more. read more

Lincourt Stables is absolutely wonderful! After a 7 year hiatus from riding, I decided I wanted to try again. I used to show hunters and jumpers on the A circuit, so I was looking for somewhere to ride, but it had been so long, and I was really nervous because I was so out of shape. Pat Lincourt was super friendly and responsive from the very first email I sent, and she, her staff, and her other clients have been nothing but warm, welcoming, and fun since before I even stepped foot on the property (I met 2 Lincourt representatives at Damoor's Feed & Tack the day before my first lesson). Pat is of course amazing... and Jackie, Christina, and McKenna are all extremely knowledgeable and incredibly nice and fun. You would think that a barn of such caliber might be conceited, but these people have been so accommodating and welcoming that I'm beyond excited to have returned to riding. The school horses are beautiful, well cared for, and perfectly suited to their jobs (The one I have been riding is completely capable of coursing around 2'6" with lead changes! Not bad for a school horse!!) And furthermore, the facility and rings are just gorgeous! I can't say enough good things. The whole barn is amazing. I wish I could give even more than 5 stars! A+++! read more

My daughter had her first lesson today at Lincourt Stables. Patricia her instructor is amazing. Her teaching style is firm and friendly. I loved the whole vibe of the stables. The horses are healthy and most importantly happy. We are planning to start weekly lessons and we are super excited to learn more about the horses! read more

If you're thinking about riding here and don't have our own horse look for another barn. The lesson horses and trainer are terrible. I have a strong riding background. I was a competitive rider for 12 years. I grew up around horses and have had several of my own. I stopped riding during college. I'm now in my mid-twenties and wanted to get back into riding as a hobby. After one good lesson I bought the 5 lesson package with McKenna. Huge mistake. First off most the lessons horses are not capable of doing anything other than flat work. The ones that could jump all had major issues. Second problem McKenna is a beginner rider trainer and boring. Over the years I've ridden with multiple trainers and I have never trained with someone as condescending as McKenna. I was so turned off by her training techniques I asked to cancel the last lesson of my package. I never received the money back even though I was promised a refund. I called, texted and sent her my address multiple times and never heard back. So on top of her being a poor trainer McKenna also has no character. UPDATE: No one at the barn has ever contacted me after writing a negative review or offered me the refund I am owed. read more

My boyfriend gifted me a groupon for private lessons and as a 22 year old beginner I was completely clueless about Tacking and riding. With that said I used up all my groupon lessons and am now a weekly client. I have learned so much in just a short amount of time. I couldnt feel more comfortable with my instructor Mckenna who always answers all of my questions and is a wonderful teacher! Larry, my lesson horse, is excellent, and a perfect fit for my Novice skills. I highly recommend Lincourt to anyone who is a true beginner or experienced rider. And to top it all of, the facilities are absolutely stunning! read more

Lincourt stables is a wonderful barn to ride at! Pat and Jackie are extremely knowledgeable trainers and take the greatest care of the horses. I've learned so much from each of them and am so proud of the progress I've made riding there the last 18 months. I highly recommend training here. read more

Lincourt Stables are a beautiful collection of horse stables in the Glendale area. They offer horse riding lessons to the public. Everyone there is very friendly and hospitable. My first visit there I was greeted by wonderful, down-to-earth people. The riding instructions are custom tailored to each person's level of comfort and skill. I can't say enough great things about these stables and those that run them. read more

I love Lincourt Stables! Such a nice getaway in the smack dab middle of Los Angeles! Pat, Jackie and Alana are as good as they get with both knowledge and caring. They are so attentive to both their riders and their horses. Anything you need to know they are here to help. From beginning to advanced, this is the place to go! read more

Lincourt Stables is wonderful. Everyone from Patricia Lincourt to all the instructors, grooms, etc. Very nice people, honest, straightforward and extremely knowledgeable and patient. They will even assist you with the process of buying or leasing a horse. We have been very happy there and have just bought our first horse, which Pat walked us through. We could not have done it without her. Highly recommended. read more

Great deals on riding lessons and reasonably priced. Had a great experience and plan on returning.

I also purchased a groupon for Lindcourt stables. When I saw this deal, I thought, why not try, it's only 2 lessons and it's always been a goal of mine to learn English. I am now a weekly rider and even competed in my very first horse show! My trainer McKenna is awesome. She is extremely knowledgeable about horses and is a great teacher/trainer. If you want to learn how to ride properly and become an experienced handler, she'll work with you to better your skills and boost your confidence. McKenna has a wide range of teaching abilities and can work with you in many different areas of riding. English, Western, Dressage or just basic horsemanship. Lindcourt lesson horses range from beginner to advanced, so there is a horse for every level of rider, as well as room to move up as your skills improve. I can't say enough great things about McKenna (trainer) and Pat (owner). They run a great business and I look forward to coming to the stables weekly. read more

The reason I choose to come to Lincourt is for my trainer, Tara. She is extremely meticulous about my riding, and takes her personal time to discover how she can make each rider reach their true potential. Because I was a skilled rider when I was young, I was at first ostentatious about my riding abilities. Therefore, I lacked muscle memory and skill. Tara is still helping me to improve my ability. I am a work in progress...thanks to Tara. It is really not about the barn, but about the trainer, and she has definitely made me a more skilled rider! I love her teaching methods; she pushes her students in a positive way! I am giving Lincourt 5 stars not simply for the barn itself, but for the expertise that this trainer possesses. read more

Excellent instructors, who not only teach you to ride, but teach you a great deal about horses and horse care too.

Owner, Patricia Lincourt, is the veteran equestrienne overseeing this highly professional outfit. Whether a beginner or an advanced, professional rider, the warm welcome in this environment is the same. Jose, the groom, is a real pro and the horses are very well cared for here. The location is sublime - nestled in a pristine, manicured, secret paradise, adjacent to Griffith Park, near the Los Feliz Golf Course & 5 Freeway. The additional bonus - children are welcome! read more

I've been riding at Lincourt Stables for 5 months now and I LOVE it! My trainer, McKenna, is amazing. She is seriously the best trainer I've had in all my years riding (off and on since I was a little kid). McKenna is very knowledgable and patient. She is the only trainer I've had that is able to not only tell me when I'm doing something wrong but also how to fix it and different techniques to prevent that from happening again. All of the horses there are great and they all have something to teach you to make you a better rider. In my 5 months here I've grown exponentially as a rider (stared at the trot and now I'm doing beginning jumping!) and I cannot say enough good things about this place. I would definitely recommend Lincourt to anyone and everyone!! :) read more

It was hard to find a place to ride in LA close to my house, so I bought private lessons on groupon. After a couple months I started riding in a group lesson with other young women my age. I have now been riding at Lincourt for almost 2 years. The trainers and riders are welcoming and encourage smarter, better riding. With McKenna's help I have grown from a sloppy beginner to a confident jumper. I love my time at Lincourt and look forward to my lessons with McKenna every week. read more

I really love coming to Lincourt Stables!! I take a riding lesson once a week with Mckenna (my instructor), and it's my favorite hour of the week! I started riding again recently after an 18 year break (from a group on offer) and I was a little apprehensive about getting up on a horse again, but Mckenna chose the right horse for me, a very calm and sweet horse, Charlotte. Mckenna is an excellent instructor. She really sees what level rider you are and how much you can handle, and encourages you to improve on your skills every time. It is an absolute blast!! I could not be happier with the riding lessons, but I also appreciate that I can spend some time with the horses afterward. You learn more than riding when you can take part in grooming and tacking, and you get to know the horses. I can warmly recommend Lincourt Stables to anyone with or without experience who wants to take riding lessons. read more

I've been riding for a few years and been part of a professional riding club back home, I consider myself an intermediate rider. Pat was rude and had a very bad attitude saying snappy remarks to a teenage girl. She was not patient and I asked questions which were answered in a mean disrespectful manner she was also on her phone while I was riding and not paying attention to what she was payed to do. I will not be coming back and do not recommend this stable to anyone. read more

Lincourt Stables is a wonderful barn to be a part of! The training is designed to fit all riders of different levels, from beginner thru advanced. I have been apart of Lincourt Stables for almost 9 years, and could not be more satisfied! My horse's are well cared for and happy. Lincourt Stables ROCKS! read more
