Lee and Alma Liles started Carrousel Farms in 1985 in Tennessee and the horse operation garnered world and national titles. Lee made a name for himself in the horseshoeing business with his innovative approach to shoeing. In 1998 Carrousel Farms was relocated to Sulphur off Highway 177 and the Liles continued to be very active in the Quarter Horse community where Lee won several world championships for calf roping, heading and heeling.

Carrousel Farms is located 8.5 miles North of Sulphur in Murray county. The property was originally owned and developed as a horse breeding and training facility by Jerry Wells – a legend in the Quarter Horse industry – who was inducted into the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2007.
