IconEq is a private farm specializing in American Saddlebreds and Equitation
(8)
American Saddlebreds (saddleseat type) are born with upright headsets and bright, peppy personalities (as shown here by our beloved Fifi). It is a common misconception that these horses are abused into this frame. To the contrary, it would be abusive to ask this horse to lower herself into a hunter frame instead. She physically does not have the build to be forward headed.
We had a wonderful show at St Louis National Charity Horse Show, with Danielle and Fifi sweeping the adult equitation division and coming out reserve in the open three gaited jackpot!
Southville Stables, since moving to our new location (far, far away from the quaint town of Southville,KY) has struggled to find a name for our new and permanent facility! We are proud to present you with IconEq! Want to be Iconic with your horse? Come to a barn that’s named after your goal. We currently have three stalls open and two outdoor retirement board spots! call Danielle today at 502-424-4987 to reserve your place as an Icon!
Welcome to our new location, conveniently located just 15 miles from downtown Louisville.
I'm excited to be teaching the equitation portion of the clinic this weekend! Please come join us at the Hoosier Horse Park for a fun clinic Saturday, and even more fun on Sunday at the show!
There are no bad horses. Period.
In accordance with the new USEF rules, we will now be offering riding lessons on the weekends! We will continue to offer free lessons for children in the foster care system and who are wards of the state, and also offer paid lessons priced as follows:
Single lessons are $30/each
Packages are 5/$125, or 10/$240. Lesson packages must be used in the month they are purchased.
Gift certificates are available! Give the gift of riding and loving horses for the holidays.

How you treat a horse will make his entire life! A confident, happy horse comes from an environment where he trusts his humans to give him the best feed, care, love, and direction he needs. We specialize in horses who have been previously traumatized or mistreated.

Winning has nothing to do with the ribbon you earn at a show. Winning is riding a horse you love and appreciate!

"Finding the right barn family isn’t just about finding friends to ride with… it’s about our mental health.
I feel like there’s this common theme of “barn drama” and I think we need to break the thought of that being normal. Our horses are our time to find peace and an escape from the world. It is absolutely not the place for petty comments, reality TV drama, or constant tension.
You need to be surrounded by people who build you up, not tear you down…
People who are cheering you on whether it’s at an A show or over a 6” cross rail…
People who aren’t judging you for only wanting to walk around or having no desire to show at all…
People who don’t care what outfit you show up to the barn in…
People who want you & your horse to win, not just a ribbon, but to win at life.
Let’s be real… horseback riding is a pretty intense sport. The fact that we’re strapping some leather onto a thousand-pound prey animal and hoping we can keep all four feet on the ground while holding onto two straps that aren’t much wider than your little finger… well it’s pretty remarkable in itself. Every time you get your butt in the saddle & manage to land back on the ground on two feet safely… well that alone is quite an accomplishment.
Horseback riding is emotional. It’s raw. It’s intense. It’s an escape from reality because we have to be present in that moment, just as our horses are. But it is absolutely not for the faint of heart.
When you are choosing to put your foot in the stirrup, the last thing you need is to feel emotionally drained from the 10 minute conversation you had in the barn with Karen who was just telling you all the “he said, she said” of who has been talking smack about you and your horse behind your back. You shouldn’t be going into that ride thinking about how angry you are at the fact that Sarah can’t keep her 300 saddle pads contained and they’re taking over your space in the tack room. You shouldn’t be wondering who’s talking crap about you while you ride. And you definitely shouldn’t be worried about who’s casually glancing at the arena and judging every move you make on your horse, just waiting for their opportunity to claim you were riding in Rollkur (cue PETA).
There’s enough drama at work, on social media, and in those reality TV shows I can’t seem to understand how people watch; we don’t need that crap at the barn.
As someone who used to suffer with severe anxiety, panic attacks, & depression, I now protect my mental health at all costs. I have overcome all my mental health issues & I refuse to let the atmosphere at my barn be a cause of any anxiety. I can’t emphasize just how important it is to surround yourself with the right people when at all possible.
Sure, your barn might have the best landscaping, the most beautiful tack lockers, & arena footing that’s softer than your 20 year old mattress, but none of that matters if you dread going out because Susan might be there waiting to start a Kardashian style argument. No amount of perfectly swept barn aisles or pressure washed white fencing can make up for a toxic atmosphere".

We could all learn to be more like horses in this regard, couldn't we? We certainly try our best here at Southville to be the highest quality friends to our equine companions as possible.

Woohoo, we are finally getting the arena finished after covid delays! This arena footing was partially brought to us by a generous grant from the UPHA Foundation, and we could not be more grateful. 😭😭😭
