About Riverbend Stables

Riverbend Stables operates in New Orleans, Louisiana, making it one of the few horse boarding options available to owners living in or near one of the country's most urban and culturally dense cities. Keeping a horse in the New Orleans area comes with real logistical challenges, from limited land to the region's humid subtropical climate, so having a local boarding facility matters a great deal to horse owners here. Riverbend Stables fills that gap, offering a place where city-based owners can keep their horses without a long drive. Contact them at (504) 861-1596 for current availability.

Horse Boarding

Services & Process

Horse boarding at Riverbend Stables covers the daily care your horse needs, including feeding, stall cleaning, and general monitoring of health and behavior. Boarding facilities in the New Orleans area typically offer both full-care and partial-care options depending on how involved the owner wants to be. Full-care boarding means staff handle everything, while partial plans allow owners to participate in feeding and grooming on their own schedule. It's worth calling to confirm what specific packages they currently offer and what the turnout and pasture situation looks like.

Service Area

Riverbend Stables serves horse owners in New Orleans and the surrounding metro parishes. Owners coming from Jefferson Parish, Orleans Parish, and even across the Lake Pontchartrain causeway from St. Tammany Parish may find it a convenient boarding location. The New Orleans area has limited options for equestrian facilities, which makes each one here genuinely valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does horse boarding in New Orleans typically include?
Standard boarding covers daily feeding, stall or pasture care, and fresh water. Full-care packages also include stall cleaning, blanketing, and fly spray during warmer months, which is particularly important given Louisiana's long, humid summers.
How do boarding stables in the New Orleans area handle hurricane season?
This is one of the most important questions to ask any Louisiana boarding facility. Most stables have evacuation plans in place, but you should ask specifically about their protocols for severe storms before you sign a boarding agreement.
Can I visit my horse whenever I want at a boarding stable?
Most boarding facilities have posted visiting hours rather than 24/7 open access, though some offer extended hours for boarders. It's best to confirm Riverbend's specific visiting policies when you call at (504) 861-1596.
What vaccinations does my horse need before boarding?
Most Louisiana boarding stables require proof of current vaccinations including Eastern and Western equine encephalomyelitis, West Nile, tetanus, and rabies. A current negative Coggins test for equine infectious anemia is also standard and legally required for any horse being transported in Louisiana.
Is there riding access included with boarding at New Orleans area stables?
Some boarding facilities include arena or trail access as part of the boarding fee, while others charge separately for arena use. Riverbend Stables currently lists boarding as its primary service, so calling ahead to ask about riding facilities is a good first step.
How much does horse boarding typically cost in the New Orleans area?
Boarding rates vary depending on whether you choose a stall or pasture board, full-care or self-care arrangements, and what extras are included. Urban and suburban facilities in the greater New Orleans area tend to run higher than rural operations further from the city, so it's worth comparing a few options.
