| A Working Horse Farm
The Circle K has been in operation for over 30
years.
All the riding horses were foaled, raised
and trained here at Circle K for the sole purpose of being suitable mounts to meet the needs of all types and levels of riders.
The horse pavilion provides all services for the horse and rider.
We offer educational clinics on:
- Training the young horse
- Show grooming
- Western pleasure
- Jumping
- Dressage
- Respect Through Ground Work
We also provide a seasonal membership for
the horse enthusiast.
Circle K Horse Pavilion is located about 5 miles East of Cookeville,
Tennessee (just 2 1/2 miles off I-40 at Exit 290). Map Our trail rides
extend over 340 acres of rolling hills and mountainous trails, bordered
by Falling Water river. The experienced,
as well as the inexperienced rider has the opportunity to ride the
trails on well trained Circle K horses.
Jerry R. Jones
Owner-Operator Circle K Horse Pavilion
Jerry Jones is the owner-operator of the Circle K Horse Pavilion in
Cookeville, Tennessee. He has vast experience in breeding,
training, riding and shoeing horses. Jerry
has presented clinics and seminars to introduce principle techniques
and manuevers for a solid foundation of continuous equine education.
He has a masters in counseling and an undergraduate degree in teaching.
He has experience and has published articles on the behavior modification
of horses and hoof maintenance. Jerry continues to raise and train Appaloosa horses. He works with outside training horses as well as starting colts to problem horses.
"For over 30 years, I've been the student or the
instructor. Following all the latest techniques from shoeing
to behavior. After
hundreds of students, there's one phrase that sticks out in my
mind -- 'experience is the best teacher of what I do.' I hold the
title
of 'Master Teacher,' but in my mind I'm the master of 'what not
to do.' As an educator, I believe that I can
make a difference in the quality of trainers needed in this vast
equine industry that's still
evolving. I believe that I can pass on to my students the experiences
of my life, without reinventing the wheel. It will be a valuable
experience that you will never forget based on all the right things
that can be
done."
