For Kim, bodywork is about more than just physical benefits—it’s about fostering a deeper connection between horse and rider. She believes that when horses feel their best, they’re more willing and able to build trust, communicate, and perform at their full potential. This philosophy guides every session at le beau, creating a foundation of care that benefits both horse and rider.
