Our History
A legacy of horsemanship, compassion, and family tradition.
The Noon Legacy
Built on Kindness, Knowledge & Community
Up-N-Over Stables began as a dream shared by Nadeem and Sherry Noon to create a place where horses and people could grow together through kindness, knowledge, and community. Established decades ago in Bloomington, Indiana, it quickly became a cornerstone of the local equestrian scene.
Nadeem Noon's steady, compassionate teaching style and deep understanding of equine behavior shaped the barn's foundation. His philosophy was simple: every horse deserves patience, and every rider deserves guidance that builds confidence. His calm presence and integrity earned the trust of students and families alike.
Sherry Noon complemented his wisdom with her energy, organization, and approachable instruction. She developed structured programs that balanced fun with discipline, and her students flourished under her patient, insightful coaching. Together, they created an atmosphere that felt like home.
Over the years, the stable grew - expanding its facilities and refining its approach - while never losing its warmth or purpose. Today, Sherry continues to lead with the same care and dedication, honoring Nadeem's enduring legacy.
At Up-N-Over, our past is our guide. The values that built this barn - honesty, empathy, and respect - remain the foundation of everything we do.
"He was a warm, friendly presence who guided countless students toward accomplishing their riding goals from his Up-N-Over Stables in Bloomington, Indiana."
