​Laurie Toone

Laurie Toone of Circle T Stables, has been a licensed professional Tennessee Walking Horse Trainer for over 24 years. Circle T Stables is currently located in Athens, Alabama just a short drive from Shelbyville, Tennessee, the heart land of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Circle T Stables is a premier 47 stall facility that is home to many World Champions, and World Grand Champions.
Laurie first began her equine knowledge on her family’s ranch located on 1,000 beautiful acres nestled in the heart of Spangle, Washington. She started showing horses in 1974 and has not stopped since. Laurie began training for the public at the young age of 14, only to develop herself into the successful trainer she is today. Laurie has always trained Flat Shod Pleasure and Versatility horses, focusing on the performance that she and her equine teammates will excel in, in order to reach the highest potential that each horse she works with can achieve.
Laurie has been licensed with the Walking Horse Trainers Association since 1993 and to date has earned OVER, 250 World Champion and World Grand Championship titles, as well as 4 supreme Versatility Championship titles with 75 different horses. Laurie’s first World Championship title was in 1994 on a horse named, “Sonic Boom”. Her first World Grand Championship title would follow a few short years later in 1998 with a horse named, “A Common Denominator”. Many pleasure horse enthusiasts may recognize her through other horses as well, such as the Multi Titled, Line Item Veto, Double Shot of Cash, and our current Amateur Trail Pleasure World Grand Champion, Cazadores, just to name a few.
Laurie, being a mother of two, a son and a daughter, who both share Laurie’s love and passion of the Tennessee Walking Horse, finds time in her busy schedule to mentor young  trainers willing to absorb her experience; helping them with technique and training skills to become stronger and more knowledgeable in their trade . Laurie is often found educating young riders of proper horsemanship and training that will allow them the tools for success in their years to come. Laurie hopes to provide the tools to anyone wishing to grow their relationship between themselves and their equine partners. It is Laurie’s hope that everyone she gets the opportunity to meet and mentor to can walk away with new knowledge that may allow new opportunities for horse and rider to follow their dreams and reach their goals, as she once was given.
