Carousel O Breeds

We’ve gained a family at Libby’s! My daughter started riding at Libby’s a year ago and she always has fun stuff to keep the kids involved: summer camp, clinics, lessons, parades, farm days, camping trips, trail rides, horse shows, rodeos, you name it she can make it happen! She genuinely loves these kids!

Carousel o’Breeds has been such a blessing to me and my family. We had recently moved to Alabama from Colorado when we started coming here and didn’t know many people or have many friends. To top it off, being a homeschooling family in the midst of the pandemic didn’t make things any better. Mrs Libby took us under her wing and made us feel like family. She is so accommodating to our schedules and really tries her best to keep things running smoothly. Her lessons are wonderful, and my children's volunteer days are filled with barn friends and hard work. My older children have learned how to be team players and how to work with children despite different strengths and weaknesses, as well as how to face their fears. My eldest daughter even purchased a horse from her after she gained confidence with working with them. I highly recommend coming here and just seeing the environment for yourself, you won’t regret it. ❤

Looking for a place to build your child’s convenience and horsemanship skills? Look no further. Carousel O’ Breed’s is the best in Shelby county to do just that. I’ve been an instructor here for several years and love to see youth grow and thrive with the horses.

I can not say enough about Ms Libby and Carousel O Breeds. With this pandemic many people are closed off, and isolation leads to depression. We are able to be outside in the sunshine while social distancing. Libby and her team keep the barn sanitized and I feel safe sending my kids to take lessons from her. My kids have not truly experienced the isolation of Covid. I know they love it there because they never want to leave!!

My children have made life-long friends and found a new love of animals. They have gained confidence and team building skills. The kids can catch and load a 10 horse trailer to go in a trail ride through the most beautiful country. My son is unplugged, exploring nature, learning horsemanship with the most amazing team of trainers! My daughter has gotten tough and is growing up into an independent young lady. The skills they learn go beyond horsemanship. This is the best thing I have ever done for them, treated like family.

This is an awesome place! I had a birthday party there last week and it was amazing! Mrs. Libby and all the volunteers were very nice and helpful. The horses are beautiful, very sweet, and well-trained. I started lessons recently and it is a lot of fun. I have loved horses my whole life and finally get to be around them. This is the perfect place for anyone, any age, to learn to ride and appreciate horses.

Mrs. Libby it's a hard work woman that love to help people and kids, she does a huge impact in the community, with her years of experience and dedication and love for animals and people !
I love this place, I totally recommend to everyone!
This become for me and my husband as my second house!

We had a wonderful birthday party here! My daughter loves horses and all the horses were so gentle and friendly. Even a couple of 2 year olds rode a gentle pony and we had a tour of the petting zoo. We enjoyed being on the farm for an afternoon. Everyone was so nice and helpful.:)

Mrs.Libby’s horse farm is wonderful, every body is respectful and kind. They are always helpful and ready to answer any type of question. At Mrs. Libby’s you learn about different horse breeds, giving shots, and more. If you are looking for a place to ride horses Mrs. Libby’s is the way to go.

Libby is a great person. We used Cracker Jack for my son's wedding.(Indian Wedding - for Baraat) He was great. She worked with us and had Cracker Jack ready for Indian Baraat and music dancing. He looked so good . she had her two staff members there. Horse was very well mannered. If you are looking for a Horse for an Indian wedding in Birmingham, Nashville, Huntsville, or nearby - Atlanta area do call her. She is reasonable with her price, professional and will show up on time.

Libby's reputation as a horsewoman and love for all animals and genuine regard for people is a gift to us all.

Libby is a loving soul I dont believe she’s ever met a stranger she has many years of guidance to share and does a great job doing so from 4H to summer camp she’s always taking time out of her life and giving back! I recommend anyone to let their children learn to be a cowboy or cowgirl with carousel breeds!

Ms Libby loves horses and children.
Knowing her for 62 years, I can vouch for her equine expertise, experience in showmanship and overall working with anyone who wants to learn more about horses.
Kudos for the job you do - from your city slicker sister, Murray 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My daughter has ridden with Mrs. Libby for over 10 years and has loved every minute of it!

Mrs. Libby's horse farm is a magical place. Here, you will be taught about horses of different breeds, goat tying, roping calves, and competing in rodeos and horse shows.

Kids have lots of fun while learning. Miss Libby not only teaches excellent horsemanship ,but also teaches teamwork,respect , and kindness. She has actual pros come in to give the students lectures and hands on experiences from animal stewardship to various types of riding. Students can sample everything including rodeo events, dressage , drill team,trail (both show and hobby), and western, gaited and hunt seat pleasure. It is truly a carousel of breeds with AQHA ,Paso Fino , Arabian , Walking Horse,Racking, Thoroughbred, pony. This is not a place where kids go around in a circle being taught by someone who watched a video or rode only one style. They really learn how to be a real horseman or woman. They also have Bible lessons so it's not the place if you don't want good morals and character as part of the experience.

I Love Mrs Libby's Farm! It Is The Best Place To Go If You Love Horses And Want To Ride A Horse. You Can Also Learn How To Goat Tie And Calf Roping.

Wonderful time here today. All my girls got to ride some beautiful and sweet horses. The owner/trainer and helpers were all great. My girls loved it!

I’ve rode here since I was 5 and you could never find a better place to come start riding, any age. Libby is the best!!!
