     Cousin Craig Rideau of Louisiana (a Dupre, Lacour, Goudeau, & Metoyer descendant) is a Horse Trainer.  He and Cousin Kory Guidry plan to organize horseback riding for youth at the Grand Family Reunion 2011 !!!  Horseback riding is a Lacour Family tradition that goes back to "Papou" Eugene "Tuck" LaCour who was born on Cane River and lived most his life in Goudeau, Louisiana.  Papou had horses and would teach his grandchildren and great grandchildren how to ride (1960's).
     Craig works for a Helicopter Company in Lafayette, La. doing Electrical/Avionic Design.  His passion for horses began when he was 8 years old when his Uncles's Alphonse Lacour and Alfred Lacour gave him and his brother, Kenny, each a horse.  He now takes horsemanship classes through the Master Horsemanship program with the LSU Ag Center to continually improve his horsemanship skills. Part of the requiresments for taking the class is to teach 4-H kids Horsemanship and safety, but Craig would do it even if it wasn't a requirement.  He enjoys training his own horses and working with kids.
