Riding the back woods of Camelot, you experience beautiful bayous and mysterious swamps, with picturesque cypress trees, oaks, honey locust, maple, swamp willows, mayhaw and the native palmetto. Rabbits, ducks, and soaring hawks are a common sight. Occasionally, on lazy summer afternoons, a bobcat, coyote, or white tail deer may be glimpsed only being eclipsed by the call of our very own owl. Closer to the front, a sense of peace and serenity envelope the ranch as the south wind blows, intertwined with the occasional neigh of the horses and the soft surreal chimes of Chapel bells from up the road. Winter time brings an even quieter stillness as the trees loose their leaves and the back woods become cloaked in gray. The gray soon fades as everything seems to be poised for ambush, waiting to explode into green again at the first hint of spring, which always arrives early here, in South Louisiana. It is that beauty that lured us to this place.
While we love all horses, we are particularly fond of the Tennessee Walking Horse breed and are members of the TWHBEA, RHBAA , FOSH, PWHAT , and the NWHA . We are dedicated to preserving that naturally smooth gaiting, ground covering stride that made the Tennessee Walking Horse famous. We fuse old time blood lines with the newer lines of today to achieve that goal. The Tennessee Walking Horse breed is known for being "people lovers" and for having docile temperaments. Some barns of other breeds use TWH stallions as teaser stallions due to that reason. While our breeding program provides opportunity for color, our primary focus revolves around producing sane, sound, calm, naturally gaited trail pleasure horses. Our foals are imprinted at birth and are handled consistently, further enhancing their natural people loving trait. This combination of elements makes for happy horses and happy people. Guests are always welcome. Ginger Schouest is also on the board of directors for the Louisiana Equine Council. Please click that link for information on becoming a member.
