About Saddle Up & Ride

Saddle Up & Ride is based in Avondale, Louisiana, a community on the west bank of the Mississippi River just outside New Orleans. The west bank has a quieter, more rural character compared to the city itself, giving horse owners and riders a bit more breathing room without straying far from the metro area. This facility offers both horse boarding and horseback riding, serving the dual audience of horse owners needing a reliable home for their animals and riders looking for quality time in the saddle. It's a practical option for Jefferson and St. Charles Parish residents.

Services & Process

On the boarding side, Saddle Up & Ride provides stabling and daily care for horses, which typically includes feed, water, stall cleaning, and turnout time in a pasture or paddock. Horse owners can choose from full-care or partial-care arrangements depending on how involved they want to be in their horse's daily routine. For riders, the facility offers horseback riding experiences that let you get time in the saddle without owning a horse yourself. The combination of both services under one roof makes it convenient for boarding clients who also want structured riding time.

Service Area

Saddle Up & Ride serves horse owners and riders throughout the Avondale area and the greater west bank of the New Orleans metro. Clients from Westwego, Marrero, Gretna, and into St. Charles Parish find the location convenient. The facility is also accessible to riders coming from the east bank via the Crescent City Connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does horse boarding at Saddle Up & Ride typically include?
Full-care boarding generally covers daily feeding, fresh water, stall cleaning, and regular turnout. Some facilities also include basic health monitoring, though veterinary and farrier services are usually the owner's responsibility to arrange separately.
Can I visit my horse whenever I want if it's boarded here?
Most boarding facilities have designated visiting hours during daylight, and many allow owners to come as often as they like within those times. It's a good question to ask during your initial tour so you know what to expect.
Does the facility offer riding lessons, or just open riding time?
That depends on the specific programs available, so it's worth asking when you call. Some facilities offer structured lessons with an instructor while others provide more informal guided riding sessions.
Is Avondale a good area to keep a horse?
The west bank of Jefferson Parish and adjacent St. Charles Parish have a more rural character than inner New Orleans, making them reasonable areas for equestrian facilities. The slightly lower land costs compared to the east bank also make boarding more affordable in this area.
What's the difference between full-care and partial-care boarding?
Full-care boarding means the facility handles all daily feeding, stall cleaning, and turnout on your behalf. Partial-care arrangements let owners take on some of those tasks themselves in exchange for a lower monthly rate.
How far in advance do I need to book a riding session?
Calling a day or two ahead is usually sufficient for riding sessions, though weekends and holidays can fill up faster. It's always smart to confirm availability before making the drive, especially if you're coming from across the river.
