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. 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, Inverness, Chelsea, Vestavia, Hoover, Homewood, Irondale, Trussville, Leeds and Moody. We are a 20 minute drive from downtown Birmingham.

I love to teach about horsemanship and Safety. Whether you are new to horse ownership and or riding.
Have been competing since 15 years of age. Realized that we were not putting the horse first in training and showing. Chose a new path. Was given an opportunity at a QH breeder when I got back from Army. Starting youngstock and utilizing my own methods of starting horses using my own methods. I had less bucking and fighting of starting horses that I started a program in Texas lease to train, which is when a horse comes in that needs to be started from beginning i give one of my clients to work under me and lease the horse for same price as monthly lessons. Then the client has a choice after to either take up the horse their own or help sell the horse.
Utilizing equine psychology and human psychology to assist in training and help those who are in need of help getting back in the saddle utilizing methods that were taught to me.
Most that come here are looking for more of a relaxed atmosphere while still learning and training as such most of the lessons are 1.5 to 2 hours long. As there is time for Q&A, discussion topics. I prefer to provide a place where can enjoy the outdoors while learning whether horses are new to you or have been around them your whole life.... See More

We are a small welsh pony breeding operation located in Wetumpka al. We are a private farm and sadly rarely if ever offer boarding opportunities.

We do however have a herd of amazing welsh ponies and do occasionally offer riding lessons (only a few students at a time). We specialize in hunter jumper ponies and beginners. We also offer our ponies to short term show leases when they are not with foals (typically august-feb). Our farm is small quiet and just the right sort of haven for young timid students looking to get a solid foundation without being one of many students.
