Carousel O Breeds would like to announce that we will have a school break from May 16 through June 15.
During that time, Summer Horse Camp with Ms. Libby will take place from May 30 – June 4.
Summer hours at Carousel O Breeds will be as follows:
We look forward to seeing you this summer and having fun with horses!
On May 18, 2016, from 9 am to 12 pm, at the Linda Nolen Learning Center in Alabaster, Alabama, Libby Shackelford, owner of Carousel O Breeds, and leader of the Shelby County 4-H Horse Club, will delight the students for the 20th Annual Cowboy Day by bringing horses!
Every year the 4-Hers haul their horses, about 15 or so, out to the Learning Center to lead the horses around and have the students interact with the large animals. The experience is well-received by the students who eagerly look forward to the annual event.
For more information and to volunteer, call Libby Shackelford at 205-533-0432.
On May 2, 2016, at 5:30 pm, the Shelby County 4-H Horse Club will tour the barn and property at Hillock Farm in Calera, Alabama. Ms. Libby has been a leader of the Horse Club for many years, supporting and developing kids in the ag and equine lifestyle. Outings like this help the children realize what goes in to running an equine business and gives them insight for future ag-based careers.

We attended the little boots rodeo this past Saturday, hauling six kids who competed in all the events, even bull riding!
Hudson Sheldon won the senior calf roping. Maddie Caddis competed in the princess pagent and all the pee wee classes. Cameron Goff, Gracie Smith, and Alex Galloway competed in the Junior Events. Cate Dawson competed in all the Senior division events.
We enjoyed a great two days of fun. The rodeo had 100 contestants and 300 spectators!
