Equestrian

A working horse farm, first and always

Before the weddings, there were horses — and they're still very much at the heart of what we do, including our partnership with McNeese Equestrian.

Constructed on 100 acres in Southwest Louisiana, our facility offers only the highest quality and best equine products available — from riding lessons and training to boarding, sales, breeding, leases, and layover stays for horses passing through.

About Us

Southwest Louisiana's premier equestrian estate

The barns at The Stables at Le Bocage

Our mission is to maintain a picturesque, state-of-the-art equestrian facility for boarding, training, and lessons — while fostering a family atmosphere and giving the community access to the farm and its events.

Operating since 2009, we've grown from a single owner's investment and passion for horses into the premier equestrian and event venue in Southwest Louisiana. Our 100 acres include two covered arenas, an outdoor lighted jumping arena, a practice/warm-up ring, and full-sized grass-riding flats, designed by Olympic-level designer Leopaldo Palacio.

After 13 years focused solely on equestrian operations, we expanded into wedding and event hosting — putting our barns and grounds to work for celebrations, too.

4550 South Park Drive, Lake Charles, LA — minutes from I-10, I-210, Burton Coliseum, McNeese State University, and Lake Charles Regional Airport.

Come see it in person

Photos only capture so much of a hundred acres of oaks and open barns — the best way to picture your event (or your horse's new home) here is to walk it with us.
