Western Horse Training in Leeds, Alabama (Jefferson County)

We do things differently at GKM Equestrian, you don't just come get on a horse. You'll learn how to properly groom your horse with all the necessary steps to keep them and you looking your best. Next you will learn how to correctly and safely tack up your horse or pony. You will also get to experience many different types of saddles and bridles used in other riding disciplines. Our students are competent and knowledgeable about horse care and safety which allows their learning and riding to blossom with confidence. We are a small, dedicated professional equine facility, so we go for quality not quantity and don't crank out a lot of lessons each day. This ensures the horses' good health and a slow pace that riders can actually enjoy their lessons and get to know and love our equine athletes.
We are conveniently located to Birmingham, Mountain Brook, Homewood, Irondale, Trussville, Leeds and Moody. We are a 20 minute drive from downtown Birmingham. You don’t have to drive 280 to get to GKM Equestrian and there is very little traffic on the quick drive out.... See More

I specialize in colt breaking and tune ups. Lessons are also available. I have experience with cutters, barrels, trail, roping, and TWH. I can start the cutters to get ready to go to the trainer, get them going around barrels, trail broke, tracking the dummy and rope broke, and starting TWH. I can pick them up or drop them off for you! I have 1 five stall barn and a three horse barn, round pen, trials, and arena is being redone. For more information please feel free to contact me!...

Hey, I'm a new trainer if u would say. I turn 15 this August, but I have a way with horses. I've been riding since I was 6, and has had a passion for them since. The first horse I got was a 3 year old paint mare named Blue, she had never been ridden and the people called her crazy, I threw a saddle on her when I was 7 and just got on and rode her with no trouble. I've successfully trained a 3 year old appendix geldin who is now 5 and a finished barrel horse running 1D times. People say I have a way with them, but I don't brag on myself. I can train anything western, unless its western pleasure. I can ground break, saddle train, start and finish on barrels and poles. Or will start my way and finish them however u won't them. I've just finished saddle breaking a 3 year mustang mare (calvary horse) who is now letting kids ride her. I'm located in a small town in Alabama, and as of now homeschooled and spend every second I can with my horses teaching them more and more new things. People may look down cause I'm a young teenager, but I promise I will do the best I can to succeed at training your horse, and if I think I can't do it, I will tell u, and I won't lie about it. I don't have a set price for monthly fees, but whatever the price is, it will include feed, hay, and shavings for stalls. Please contact me by email for as I'm always outside and check email after feeding at night.... See More

I have been a farrier for 28 plus years and a professional horseman. I am offering training at my farm . I train a horse so that the horse is safe for the casual or new horse owner can enjoy . I have experience using horses all over the country for extreme trails and I also contract out to ranches and use my working cow horses to work their cattle .
My personal mare was used by RFD TV trainer Chris Cox at his Horsemanship clinic in 2015 in Las Vegas during the NFR.
