Monarch Stables

Professional business with beautiful horses. Saddlebreds are the most beautiful friendly horses !!!

I grew up in the Midwest riding/​showing Arabians and Saddlebreds. I am so fortunate to have found Monarch Stables, and a trainer like Brigitte Scholl. Brigitte is patient, kind and gives the utmost care to her horses. It is very apparent she has a barn full of happy horses. I have been welcomed to Monarch with open arms by friendly people, and friendly horses.
Monarch is definitely a show barn, and aimed at riders who are passionate about riding Saddleseat English and American Saddlebreds. These horses are amazing, beautiful and so much fun to ride. I highly recommend Monarch, and Brigitte if you are a rider looking to advance in to the show ring, or wanting to begin Saddleseat riding !

I’m a lifelong horse-​lover. I grew up riding and showing Saddlebred horses in Oklahoma. After college and moving to California I found myself 8 years out of the saddle. I never really thought I could find a trainer or facility that compared to where I grew up riding. Then I found Brigitte Scholl and Monarch on the American Saddle Horse Association website in January of 2010. Monarch Stables is the best barn I could ever have imagined. The facility is beautiful, well-​equipped, and serene. Most importantly, Brigitte Scholl, the owner and trainer is a true horse whisperer and a gifted riding instructor. She operates every aspect of Monarch Stables with passion and integrity. Every horse is cared for immaculately and in a manner uniquely suited to his/​her personality. Every rider has Brigitte’s undivided attention.
If you’re a veteran rider or a novice who’s always wanted to give Saddleseat riding a shot, you will be equally welcomed. If your child has been bugging you for horseback riding lessons, go for it! In my opinion there’s no better outlet: through horseback riding they can learn the subtleties of communication with both horses and people, the responsibility of caring for an animal, the self-​confidence that comes from competing with true sportsmanship.
