Noel Performance Horses, LLC

At Noel Performance Horses, training and coaching are tailored to the unique needs of the horse and the owner and/or rider. We provide training in ground manners, starting under saddle, refresher training, finishing for the show ring in multiple disciplines, and more. While we specialize in Arabians, western pleasure, hunter pleasure, and show halter, trainer JW Noel welcomes and is experienced in a variety of breeds and disciplines.

Growing up on a horse farm, JW developed a passion for horses at a young age. He’s been in the saddle his entire life and began his show career when he was just three years old. He won his first Arabian Horse Association (AHA) Regional Top 5 in 2004, and has garnered multiple wins in the AHA since.

JW’s goal in training horses is to understand how the horse learns and operates and to help the horse reach his or her potential based on the training objectives. Among his clients, JW has developed a reputation for being able to reach horses that they, or other trainers, had difficulty understanding and teaching.  JW recognizes that “helping a horse to be able to think and not just react means having to read what the horse is thinking.” For him, ”it’s rewarding to work with horses through their difficulties so people can have well-rounded horses that they can enjoy.”
