KV EQUESTRIAN

Kim Vanderwood of KV Equestrian grew up in San Diego and has been a familiar face in the show ring since she was young. With a passion and talent for young horses she landed a job at a highly respected breeding farm in Rancho Santa Fe. It was there she successfully brought along breeding stallions and numerous young horses which competed in the IHF ( International Hunter Futurity) program as yearlings, 2, 3 and 4 year olds.

After moving forward from the breeding, she filled the position of assistant trainer at a top hunter/jumper/equitation "A" level show barn in Del Mar. It was there she discovered another passion, teaching amateurs. She believes in "less is more" and both horse and rider should finish each ride on a positive note and that safety and having fun ensures consistency and longevity in a horse and rider.

Kim is very knowledgeable in the overall care, nutrition and maintenance of the horses as she takes pride in her "boutique" like training business. Besides the horses, she has a hobby of physical fitness, which gives her an edge in teaching rider position awareness which maximizes the rider/horse response. KV Equestrian offers a full training, full care program geared towards show horses at the "A" and "C" level show circuit.
