•The Western riding lessons

Passionate about horses since the age of 12 years, Charles Lenoir made them his profession. First in France and Switzerland, where he began classical riding and especially jumping. Then, having discovered Western riding, he perfected this discipline for over 15 years. As a teacher, he meets the expectations of all students in adapting their courses to their levels and their personal goals (leisure, sport or competition). The training horses, selected for their calm and dressage, allow riders to become quickly confident and help them progress. It is possible for riders to use their own horses for the courses at the Ranch des Cèdres. In this case, the rider and the horse benefit, at the same time, from the lesson.

Charles Lenoir, instructor and coach of the Level I Western Quebec Equestrian Federation and Equine Canada, prepares participants for the Rider examinations (Levels 1 through 4) and ensures the execution of these tests in conjunction with the FEQ.

• The coaching of riders for Western competitions

The preparation of the rider and his horse for Western competitions (performance, reining, trail, gymkhana) is also part of the service offered by the Ranch des Cèdres. Participant himself in certain Western competitions , Charles Lenoir knows the demands of these sporting events. He knows how to accompany his students to reassure them, encourage them and give them especially effective advice before the competition. To have competition with other riders and be assessed by experienced judges, can improve and crown the efforts made throughout the years by riders and their horses.
