Owner/ Saddle Fitter/Massage Therapist/ Head Trainer/Instructor/ Student of Equine Osteopathy

Kim started riding horses at the young age of 2 years old. Daughter to a successful Dressage and Jumper rider from Germany (who came to America to train horses and become a farrier), Kim always knew she would be happiest helping riders and their horses develop and maintain lasting partnerships. She spent her early childhood participating in many disciplines and enjoyed learning as much as possible about all the "different worlds" of the equine community. She showed Western Pleasure, Games, Hunter/jumper, and even worked as an assistant trainer in a Reining barn for a short time in high school. As a young teenager, Kim joined the United States Pony Club and became serious about competing in Dressage and Eventing. Kim started training young horses and giving lessons under her mother at the young age of just 13. As a young adult, she became a working student and FEI groom under a prestigious Canadian Eventer and competed her own self-made horses through Training Level before taking over and expanding her mother's training business. In 2015, Kim discovered her adoration for German Classical Dressage and the principles of training from the German Calvary system -- classical methods of training that produce calm, relaxed, correct horses while using pure science of the anatomy and no artificial training "gadgets" to cause a position or result. This quickly led to the world of Equine Rehabilitation, where Kim was able to see how posture (correct or incorrect) effects all sorts of things throughout the body. In early 2019, she became a Certified English Saddle Fitter, realizing that without correctly fitting tack, horses simply couldn't use their bodies, and it wasn't anyone's fault. Finally, in 2023, Kim became a Certified Equine Massage Therapist, specializing in Sports Massage and Rehabilitation,and Myofascial Release and Blading.

Kim is passionate about equine anatomy and not only helping horses achieve optimal mobility and performance possibilities, but also helping bodies heal and find comfort and balance through function. She looks forward to working with you and your equine partner.
