Right Lead Equestrian Center (RLEC) is located in St. Gabriel (Sunshine) just minutes south of Baton Rouge Louisiana, and offers pasture board, horseback riding / ground lessons, clinics, horse training, leases, sales, horsemanship, and training clinics. RLEC specializes in Combined Training, Eventing, beginner Dressage, Sidesaddle, and training for Pony Club events.  We are a training facility and do not offer "pony rides" or lease horses by the hour/day.  Please email Michelle if you would like more information on lessons or boarding or would like to come out and take a look around.  We encourage you to come out and observe a lesson.

FACILITIES
RLEC is situated on 16 acres in St. Gabriel, Louisiana.  The property is fenced and cross fenced with 5 foot tall doweled round pole fence.  We do not have a barn, rather we have pasture turn out with run-in shelters for our horses.  We have a large air conditioned tack room, a feed room, and a concrete wash rack on-site.  There are many stadium jumps and a few cross country jumps available.  We also have a PVC Dressage Arena from Premiere Equestrian set up on some great Bermuda grass turf.  There is ample room to ride and it is only a short distance to the Mississippi river where long levee rides are possible.  Visit the "About RLEC" link to the left to learn more.

LOCATION
Right Lead Equestrian Center is located on Bayou Paul Lane, just south of the University Club on Hwy 30 (Nicholson Extension).  From Baton Rouge take Bluebonnet down to Hwy 30 and take a left towards Gonzales.  Approximately 3 miles down you will come to a traffic light which is the Bayou Paul, Hwy 30 intersection.  Take a right towards the river.  We are 1 mile down on your right just across the street from Mt. Carmel church.
