Do I need horse experience?
No. You will not ride. Everything happens on the ground, and Kim starts wherever you are.
Is this therapy?
Kim is a coach. What she does is walk alongside you while the horse does what the horse does. She supports people through change, loss, overwhelm and the questions that come with them. She has never called herself a therapist and she will not pretend to be one. If a licensed clinician is what you need, she will say so warmly and point you to one, and you are welcome here either way.
Do I have to talk about what I am carrying?
No. Some people come because something ended. A marriage, a job, a person. Some come because nothing ended and they still feel lost. You will not be asked to explain it.
How does the cohort run?
Everyone starts together on Friday, November 6, 2026. Twelve modules over twelve weeks. A lesson drops every Friday and there is one live Q and A with Kim each week. Twelve seats. Two weeks pause over the holidays, and the cohort finishes February 5, 2027.
Why not self-paced?
Because the live Q and A is where it lands. If everyone is in a different place, nobody can ask the question the whole group needs.
What if I miss a week?
The lessons stay available for the length of the cohort and the Q and A is recorded. Come to the live one when you can.
What does the certification cost?
$3,500 for the twelve weeks, or three payments of $1,250. The waitlist opens October 9 and enrollment closes October 30.
Do I need my own horse?
No. Kim's horses do the teaching.
Where is the ranch?
A hundred acres near Whitewood, South Dakota, in the Black Hills. Rapid City is the closest airport, about forty-five minutes away.
How do I get the card deck?
It is $34 with shipping included. The link is on the card deck page.
