“I have noticed dramatic improvement in all of my horses by utilizing the techniques I learned in just one class (my first)—I’m hooked!”

“Some trainers tell and talk—she shows and does.”

“I learned more in one session than in the over $400 of little one hour weekly lessons.”

“After decades of riding in a ‘lovely dressage position’ without being able to sit a big trot, I can FINALLY sit a big trot AND my back doesn’t kill me anymore!”

From elsewhere:

“Thanks to you, I can separate front and back, left and right, and top and bottom….it’s so exciting to me to be able to feel what’s going on with the horse and what’s going on with my own body. I was so shut down physically for so long, it’s just boggling to be now able to ride with significantly less fear, with balance, safety, and with lots of control. I’m learning coordination, and it’s wonderful!” ~ Deb Carroll, Rhode Island

“My horse and I hadn’t ever really come together until that weekend of riding with Kim. By the end of the clinic, though, the clouds had parted, angels sang, and Dirk and I were dancing together.” ~ Quin Hinrichs, Arizona

“[My horse] and I practiced all of the stuff we learned in our lesson, and our Horse Trials was a great success! Dressage was a joy rather than a struggle, and we set our best score to date.” ~ Jennifer Hebert, Pennsylvania

“It was a blessing to meet you. Thank you for giving me the ‘keys to the kingdom’ of better riding. Tey and Scratch thank you too. You made me feel that I was a team member in the learning process. I learned so much, and what fun!” ~ Jean Hennen, Colorado

“It was an adventure to be involved in the clinic, to learn and see people change. Your thoughts about Buddy are enlightening, and I feel a change in him.” ~ Bill Rueger, Colorado

“I have been riding for fifteen years…after just one session, I have never felt more secure in the saddle, nor have I ever felt better about riding. For the first time I really feel one with the horse, and it really shows when we ride.”
~ David Frump, North Carolina

“Thanks for helping me to focus, be prepared, and become a more responsible rider and instructor. I believe the highlight of the whole [Intensive] occurred when you invited me to teach with you—my heart soared, and I learned so much in the process.” ~ Gail Murphey, Washington

“I don’t know what I would have done if we had never met you. You have helped me as no other riding instructor has.” ~ Romy Troy, Pennsylvania

“For years I rode scared. Kim showed me how to let the fear go by teaching me how to be balanced and secure in the saddle. She creates a teaching environment that is always patient, positive, and warmly encouraging. Now all my lessons are marked by breakthroughs, and I learn skills that allow me to problem solve on my own.” ~ Deb Carroll, Rhode Island

“Kim teaches through the use of body awareness techniques, which allow riders to go beyond their everyday riding patterns so they achieve new levels as a team with their horse. Kim has been successful with the many different riders enrolled in the Equine Studies Program at Johnson and Wales University during her clinics.” ~ Beth Beukema, Department Chair, Equine Studies Program.

"Kim works from a solid base of understanding the biomechanics of horses and riders, and emphasizing relaxation, balance, and harmony. She couples that with a great ability to simply and clearly explain the "what" and "how" and "why" of the rider's changes in the aids and the horse's way of going. The results are dramatic and, even more importantly, they're clear and
understood by the rider and the horse so the "correctness" can be recreated - - on the next circle, in the next movement, and in the next days
and weeks as the rider and horse continue work on their own to confirm and advance their level of work." ~ Geri Parfitt
