“If you are looking for training and bodywork that is horse centered and makes long term improvements then Shakespeare Farm is the place. Kim has been able to get my horses going forward freely, straightened out problems from past poor training like crookedness, neck issues and lack of engagement. My horses are happy, and look amazing even at 21 years old. The integrative approach she uses is far superior to just training or bodywork alone. She literally re-patterns their movement to a more healthy and functional way of going. This includes behavior as well. A true gem here in Santa Cruz county, where the horses needs come first.”

“If you’re looking for a barn that prioritizes the happiness, health, and dignity of its horses while offering top-tier training and care, I wholeheartedly recommend Shakespeare Farm. My horse is extremely sensitive and requires a gentle, patient approach—something that can be hard to find. But Kim is truly amazing. She’s the only one who has been able to successfully do bodywork on my horse. I’ve seen such a difference in how relaxed and comfortable he’s become since working with her. Her expertise is unmatched, and the level of trust she builds with each horse is something special to witness. This place is truly one-of-a-kind!”

“Kim has cared for and trained my horses for the past 15 years. Kim‘s ability to assess their physical issues, their training gaps, and find a way forward so that I could ride them all safely, helped me learn to feel confident as a horsewoman. If you feel challenged by your horse‘s bodily, mental or training issues, I highly recommend connecting with Kim to help you design a training and coaching program. I have never connected with anyone in the horse world who was able to observe you ride your horse, pinpoint issues that can be helped with body work, and then treat your horse in the same session!
