Our Trainers

Brian Locke has been riding and showing for 20 years. During these years, he has been based in St. Louis, MO, Dallas TX, Nashville, TN, and now Lake Charles, LA. His showing and training has taken him all over the country. He and his students have taken home multiple awards for various classes, including, but not limited to, Grand Prix and Hunter Derby classes. Brian not only prides himself on his work with horses and riders in the saddle, but with all aspects of the horseshow industry. He adds emphasis on such things as care, managing, shipping, and every aspect of good horsemanship. Along with being a trainer and rider, he has worked as a barn manager, a groom, a shipper, and a veterinary assistant, just to name a few additional areas of experience. Over the years, Brian's work with numerous trainers and riders has developed his training and expertise into what it is today.

Le Bocage is proud to welcome a new trainer to our facility. Saralee Nottingham has recently joined the staff to assist with teaching, coaching and training.    Saralee is an exceptionally talented and dedicated trainer, specializing in Equitation, Hunters and Jumpers. She tailors her approach to each horse and rider, allowing them to develop at their own pace. Saralee likes training horses, children and adults to be successful together.   Saralee has a well rounded background, training with Mary Anne Bradley and Fritz Steiken in her early years. Her strong roots in equitation have allowed her to develop numerous top riders, many who have gone on to become nationally ranked. Her coaching talents, work ethic, keen organizational skills and desire to be the best are all passed on to her students.    In addition, her 30 years of experience includes training, breeding, foaling, lay-ups, and starting young horses. With the arrival of Saralee to our teaching staff, Le Bocage is accepting new students at all levels.
