Patience, Practice, Trust

I’m Kim Cox. As an Equestrian Canada accredited Competition Coach Specialist in Dressage, I teach students and their horses to achieve a level of confidence and harmony together.

Having achieved my Recorded Dressage judge level from Equestrian Canada, I plan to upgrade to Basic Dressage Judge in 2017. I am also certified for judging Western Dressage.

Creating freestyles, or kurs, for clients is a special area of expertise. I believe riding the freestyle is one of the most fun and challenging aspects of our sport. The music and choreography of the freestyle is edited to suit the individual competitor and the timing of the footfalls of the horse.

My current horse is an exciting prospect, Lord of London. “London” is a 2009 imported Hanoverian gelding, Londonderry x Brentano II. We made our training level debut earning championship scores in our first outing.

My “eyes on the the ground” are those of Chris Brand, an equitation specialist and true horseman. Chris gives clinics at Black Whiskey Ranch in Priddis Alberta every second Sunday. Auditors are welcome, call Bev Wysocki at 403-616-5771 for entry into the gated Black Whiskey Ranch property.

I have openings for students at Black Whiskey Ranch, 240197 186 Ave., Priddis Alberta. Black Whiskey Ranch is a private dressage facility with all the amenities and excellent stable management, Contact Bev Wysocki, 403-616-5771 for information on available stalls for inside board.
