Nova Quarter Horses Inc. Greetings from owner Lorri Ebeling! "I started Nova Quarter Horses, Inc. in 1987 and I've been on the Mokena property since 1994. I look forward to meeting you!"

Nova has always been family owned and operated. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, I take great pride in every aspect of Nova. Together with my daughter Samantha, we extend our equestrian knowledge to our students and boarders through the many family-friendly programs and events we offer. Whether you are new to horses or an advanced rider, our commitment to top notch instruction is

my number one priority. Our barn has many happy healthy horses. The facility includes a 80 x 200 foot indoor, insulated, wood paneled riding arena with a 2,000 square foot observation area that includes our office and party room. We also have a large outdoor riding arena and many turn-out pens, both dry lot and pastures. We're recently upgraded all of our lighting, added laundry and a heated indoor wash rack. Please stop in to visit and see what Nova is all about!

Equitation: Tests an exhibitor's ability to ride – not the performance of the horse. As in horsemanship, contestants work a predetermined pattern consisting of maneuvers such as changing gaits, backing up as well as posting on the correct diagonal. Emphasis is placed on the ability to sit correctly, hold the correct riding posture and control the horse on a precise pattern.

Western Pleasure: When showing western pleasure, your horse should be a pleasure to watch and a pleasure to ride – no matter what your skill level. All of your efforts when showing western pleasure should be aimed at making your horse look smooth.

Showmanship: a class designed to evaluate the exhibitor’s ability to execute, in concert with a well-groomed and conditioned horse, a set of maneuvers prescribed by the judge with precision and smoothness while exhibiting poise and confidence, and maintaining a balanced, functional and fundamentally correct body position.

Many of our students have taken up weekly Showmanship lessons with Olivia and Samantha. Congratulations on an excellent class this morning! We are so proud of your progress!
