KL Training Training from the ground to the saddle, into any discipline you and your horse are wanting to go. Hello! My name is Krystal Leitzel. Thank you everyone!!

After training under and with many fantastic trainers for the past 20+ years and continuing clinics with some of the best such as Laura Ashley Killian, I have finally gone under my own name. This page is completely updated to show only the horses I personally trained and/or sold, my students, and the shows I put together along the way. For those who do not know my background, I have a strong found

ation in Dressage that was always directed towards Eventing and has helped me greatly in the Jumpers. Recently I have also added some gaming and western pleasure to the mix. I worked and trained primarily with Diane Sulouff learning how to breed and train horses under the German standard, from Cia Reese's Arabians used for endurance, to draft cross stallions needing green broke, before expanding to the hunters under a couple different wonderful bosses/trainers from Lewisburg to Maryland. My next stop and my true love was found as the barn manager/assistant trainer at After the Races where I got to ride with 5* eventer Lisa Ferguson. I have continued rehabbing and working with OTTBs ever since. I then returned to Walnut Hollow Farm where I have been the trainer and assistant instructor for the past three years. Now it is onto bigger and better things that you will all get to see step by step!

I have no idea how Token ended up at an auction. This gelding is absolutely amazing! He is coming around, and beginning to let us cuddle his cute face!
I took him out on his first trail ride with me, and he is so bombproof and steady! He has such a cute personality that is coming out more and more 😍
Enjoy our photo dump of the last week working with him, getting him vet checked, and getting his teeth floated 😊

Welcome home Token❤️

Pulled this cutie cause of a gut impulse feeling. Turns out this gelding needs work on trusting people. Not sure of past, but sure can take a guess.

Can't wait to get him vetted and start to work with him to see what he's got!
Stay tuned for Token updates 😊

Personally, I will never get sick of feeling the amazing connection of a free lunge! Beneficial for so many reasons, but my favorite is the feeling I get knowing my horse has every opportunity to run off, but chooses to stay in a circle, totally tuned into me, instead. Sorry for terrible video skills😅
