What you'll do
Join me for a customized 2-hour guided experience with my personal herd of horses that will leave you profoundly and forever changed. While gaining new insights into yourself, the relationships in your life and human society, you will also learn to see, understand and appreciate horses in completely new ways.
We will begin with a brief tutorial on how to observe and interact with horses in a way that ensures respect for their personal space, honors their innate nature as prey animals and creates a safe environment for everyone. After that, I will introduce you to the herd and share some stories to help you understand how each horse has a unique approach to connecting and sharing the innate wisdom of the natural world.
Once you've "met" the horses from outside the fence I will lead you in a short guided meditation. Then it will be time for us to enter into the pasture and join the herd. This is when the magic begins! Horses are highly intuitive, deeply communal and naturally gifted at bringing outer awareness to the ways that our internal imbalances, incongruities and misconceptions create dysfunction and chaos in our daily lives and relationships.
“There are few moments in life that have the power to change your whole perspective. This is one of those rare moments. My heart and soul have been touched by Kim and her herd." - Recent Participant

I’m passionate about horses, but not in the usual ways. Over the last 30 years my personal journey with horses has taken me through a progression of experiences from riding to owning to training to advocating to partnering...and ultimately to my current experience of traveling in spiritual synchrony with the innate wisdom of The Horse.
Today, my horses are not just my passion. They are also my business partners. Through Unbridled LLC my horses and I have been offering unique and transformational equine-inspired learning experiences for adults of all ages since 2016. I hope you will join us for a gentle, guided journey of the soul that will leave you seeing yourself, your life and the role of horses in our world in entirely new ways.

Where you'll be
This experience will take place on my personal 3-acre farm in the Caw Caw Farms subdivision in Ravenel, SC. The farm is a 25-minute drive from the historic district of downtown Charleston.
The Unbridled Farm is a very unusual place. The horses here have no job except to be their authentic selves. And the humans who visit have no job but to learn to honor the horses (and themselves) for exactly who we each are.

I didn’t really have a specific expectation about this experience because it sounded so unique, but I adore horses and I’m always interested in learning through animal interactions. So this seemed like a good fit for me.
I approached this as almost a total novice about horses, and it was fascinating to hear Kim’s story as someone who’s worked in the horse business for such a long time. She is an expert who did a rare thing for an expert to do—she questioned her own assumptions about the work she did and the creatures she worked with. And then she reinvented her entire approach. Which is a really interesting thing to hear about in any field.
I learned so much about horses and their innate nature as prey animals and horse culture, but also about interpersonal dynamics, personal responsibility, boundaries, and self-care in just a few hours working with Kim and her amazing herd of teachers.
And speaking of those teachers... what a privilege to work with her 4 horses. I loved each one but had the deepest connection with her soulful, ginormous, gorgeous 18-hand horse Marcus. What a love, and a gentle and wise teacher.
It’s not that often I take a class that really changed me; this one did. It’s a fun, interesting, beautiful activity and it’s so much more than that. I would go back in a heartbeat.
