"This is my third visit to this beautiful place. I have found my paradise at Chrome Heart Ranch! The horses were so well trained and a delight to ride and become friends with. I look forward to rekindling my relationships in the future. Not enough paper to tell you about all of the adventures I experienced. I will tell you abour Remy. Soft,loving and gentle on my departure, he carried me swiftly and cautiously over rocky trails, log jumps and rolling golden hills! We became a team respecting each other's character under the blue and puffy cloud skies.At days end, he would stand quietly while I attended to his needs-water hay,feed brushings and foot care, treats and soft words.As I led him to his pasture in the twilight,he padded softly beside me and gave me nuzzling kisses. Thank you Kim for your dedication to the work that you do,for listening and supporting me,and caring,and assisting me in taking giant steps forward with visualization. Till we all meet again! Marion Kohut."

- Kim supported and encouraged me to discover my passion and follow through with it,and that you can do whatever you need to do at any age! This has been an incredible gift. Thank you so much, Kim for your riding adventures and inspiration! Elizabeth Hengstler

"To Kim: The'takeaways' that I've experienced through horsewoman ship that I can directly apply to achieving my goals are: Working around the horsesincreases my awareness of what's going on in the moment (by increasing my alertnessand focus on safety on being around a big, somewhat unpredictable animal. This reminds me to 'have a plan, stay focused, and be aware of the outside distractions but not let them deter me from my current task.

Each time I'm around them and have successful interactions with them, it strengthens my courage & confidence that I'm able to carry forward in my business life; It also increases my leadership & facilitation ability (by leading the horse I'm riding through tricky terrain through staying calm, and laser focused on where I want to go, and communicating that clearly to my mount); The clicker training makes me more aware of how I communicate to myself and others, and to spend my energy focused on what I want and rewarding through motivation & encouragement to elicit support from myself & others (instead of focusing on what I don't want &/or the negative.) Riding is also about teamwork between the rider & the horse. These are just SOME of the ways thatyour coaching, through horsemanship, has led to me beingmore of a wise woman on horseback! ;) L.R."

When I first thought of going, I never imagined how quickly I would love it here. My only regret is that I cannot stay longer. It is worth the journey coming here. It was an honour coming and a pleasure riding with you. Thank you for letting me stay in such a peaceful dwelling! Nancy

"The full moon rose over Abel Lake,and the loons called as I walked to the cozy cabin.That perfect light lit the room, and I basked in it.The sky was richly blue in the morning, and the bird song filled the air. I take in the charm and character of the ranch.I am grateful for the sights,smells and serenity that is here for the taking.Thank you for making me welcome. Blessings in your beautiful home! Melanie Staker, Cherryville, B.C."

Thank you Kim, for your caring and support. The experience was wonderful. Judith

Thank you Kim for being this solid creative energy source when I was needing it the most.You showed me how to honour my own judgement and intuition.You are one of the most caring people I have ever met!   Caroline

Kim is an excellent teacher,and is open and flexible,but has the ability to cut to the chase and help you see and deal with the real issues. It is hard for me to believe the amount of personal growth that I gained from working with Kim. By actively listening, emotional support, and enthusiasm, she helped me get very clear on what my goals and passions are. Thank you, Kim for your invaluable guidance. I will be back! Jane Donaldson

Rosalie Waddell

I can’t tell you how much I miss our rides. As a young girl growing up watching Black Beauty movies along with westerns, riding off into the sunset was something I could only dream of doing. I always wanted to ride “like the wind” you gave me that wonderful opportunity. Being on horseback is everything I dreamed it would be. I have never felt so free and at peace as when I was riding. Thank you for opening that world up for me. You released the little girl in me. Lonia, Saltspring Island.
