Hi, my name is Kim. Welcome to my horse-training virtual office!

Usually, I am available for live chat after 5pm MST on weekdays, and various hours on weekends. When you send your question or start your chat, please give some background about the horse, what tack you are using, and what kind of facilities or environment you train in.

I consider my horse-training degree to be in trial and error, and getting results. My motto is: “Does it work – then do it. If it doesn’t work, do something that does.”

I always stress safety when training horses. Please use common sense when applying any Horse-Training Advice. Horses are dangerous animals, and extreme care must be taken when working with them. If you do not agree with the Horse-Training Advice given to you, or you feel uncertain about applying it, please use your own best judgement before trying it. You are responsible for your own safety—as well as that of your horse, your property, equipment, etc.

I operated a horse-training business for several years in Northern California. I trained horses at the owners’ houses – in the horses’ home environments, in all types of weather and conditions. I love halter-breaking horses or just polishing their manners. I also showed English/Western/Dressage/Trail in local horse shows; although I must confess I am a trainer at heart, and never really cared a lot about showing.

I have trained many different ages and breeds of horses. While I can advise you on many types of under-saddle work, I’m especially good at ground work. So if you have questions about halter-breaking, halter manners, or longing, I can probably help!
