Pearly Pearl tried on a saddle the other day and doesn’t she just look cute?! This was probably the first time she has been saddled either ever or in a LOOOOONG time. Boy did she give a rodeo.

So far she doesn’t like her teeth looked at or her ears touched. But she is getting better about those things. The first time I touched her ears or tried to age her she almost knocked me out with her mule head. Now she is thinking before just reacting.

Bridling and Ground driving are both next on the list for her.

I sure do love mornings at the barn!

There is just something about the quiet, the sound of the horses eating their breakfast or the way their hooves sound in the grass that is wet with dew.

We can’t wait to see what these long ears will do!

Canyon from Horse Haven of Tennessee has been with us for 2.5 months. He came to HHT in July of this year emaciated and lacking love, care and nutrients. While at HHT he was gelded and was given all the love, care and nutrients his growing body and mind needed so badly.
When he got here he was hard to catch and so very untrusting of any human.

He has accomplished so much in this short amount of time with us!
He leads, self loads in the trailer, backs out of the trailer, stands for the farrier, loves a bath, loves grooming and attention. He has gotten so much better about being caught. He definitely loves breakfast and dinner. He loves the German horse muffin treats.
The plan was to him riding before he left. But plans some times will change when training horses. Here we train with the horse in mind.
Given his age (he still has baby teeth) and the state in which his little body was in just 4 months ago, we decided that it would be best for Canyons body and mind to grow and mature some more over the winter. And continue his riding training in the Spring.

Canyon will going to his new family this week just in time for the holidays. And we couldn’t be more excited for him!

Our Story

KO Stables was established in 2015. However that does not mean that is only how long we have been riding and training horses for. Kayla started riding just when she was 5 years old. She rode english, western and ba****ck. She started out riding quarter horses, paints and thoroughbreds. Kayla learnt to jump when she was 9 years old. She also competed in local shows. She got her first horse in 2000 as her Christmas present. What a dream! She was a sorrel quarter horse named Perfect. Perfect like her rider did just a little bit of everything. Kayla then made the move to Tennessee Walking Horses and she fell in love with the breed. Her second horse was a black TWH by the name of Titan. Although, he was a gaited horse; she also jumped with him. Kayla was always the oddball at the barn. Everyone else rode english while she rode western. She ended up losing Titan in 2004 and stepped out of horses for a couple of years. She continued to ride with a friend at some local trail riding places. She was able to get back into horses full time in the year of 2006. She made her way back to quarter horses. Kayla was able to take on a working position for a well known trainer for her lessons. Kayla ended up falling in love with competitive trail and hunter under saddle as well as well barrels, poles and western pleasure. This is where Kayla also developed a passion for teaching other riders and individuals how to ride and work with horses. Kayla has developed her own unique style of teaching that helps children overcome their nervousness, where they learn about safety, how horses think and react, and how to ride. She incorporates some fun sayings to help the rider envision what they are doing incorrectly so they can improve their riding to help them get their horse to do what is being asked. She loves to teach as much as she loves to ride and train.
