About Kim Walnes
Kim competed on her legendary horse The Gray Goose in Europe and the United States as a member of the US Equestrian Team from 1980 through 1986. Highlights of their illustrious career include ranking third in the world, winning Team and Individual Bronze Medals at the World Three Day Event Championships in Luhmuhlan, Germany and winning the United States National Championships at Rolex in Lexington, KY.
The US Team also came in second at the CCI*** in Boekelo, Holland, competed at the World Championships in Australia and were alternates for the 1984 Olympics. During this time, Kim worked with the top instructors in eventing, dressage and show jumping on the East Coast. Including Jack LeGoff, Bert deNemethy, George Morris, Sally Swift, Anne Kursinski, Melanie Smith Taylor, Pam Goodrich, Gunnar Ostergaard, Jessica Ransehousen, Betsy Steiner, Bettina Drummond, Col Christian Carde, Linda Tellington-Jones, Jean Claude Barry and others.
Kim was the first mother of young children to be an active competitor on the USET three-day squad. Recently, Kim has traveled widely as a clinician, instructor, consultant, and coach. Many of Kim’s clients call her lessons “life changing,” since she works on far more than physical skills.
My passion is empowering, supportive, compassionate teaching and training based in trust and classical principles. My commitment is to help you discover a partnership that allows you and your horse to achieve genuine mutual understanding. My gift is communication, gleaned from a lifetime of studying learning styles, biomechanics, alternative techniques, successful competition, confidence coaching, and—always—listening to the horses.
