KB Equine Solutions (KBES)
KB Natural Horsemanship is dedicated to educating horse owners about the simple things they can do to improve their horse’s lives. The results are a deeper relationship with your horse, a stronger partnership, and ultimately more knowledge about yourself.
What is KB Equine Solutions?
The KBES program was created to help horse owners develop a plan to help resolve their horse's "behavioral" issues. Kim Baker, founder of KBNH focuses on the whole horse (spirit, mind, and body). Kim will come to your location to provide a private consultation and present you with solutions and tools customized to you and your horse. Kim will help you connect with other equine professionals dedicated to help you and your horse achieve success.
Kim Baker evaluates areas like saddle fit, chiropractic care, dental care, craniosacral work, nutrition, and hoof care to ensure the horse is able to achieve their optimal level of health and performance.
Most "behavioral" problems in horses stem from pain. Once the pain is removed, the horse returns to their natural way of being. It is also important to understand without proper form in a horse, there is no proper function.
What will it do for me and my horse?

- * Understand why your horse is acting out.

Kristina Bogar & Sky 13 yr old Paint gelding – August 2011"My horse Sky and I have been working with Kim for the last 18 months. My previous trainer talked about natural horsemanship, but Kim brought with her a whole horse approach or a holistic approach. She helped me come to understand that developing a relationship with Sky is as important as the horsemanship technique. Last May, I began having problems with Sky being "barn sore" and unresponsive to leg and hand cues. I decided to move him to Kim's for 60 days of training. Kim began working with him and taking care of him. We saw immediately that he was not getting enough to eat at his previous boarding facility. Kim also determined Sky needed body work to overcome alignments which made it difficult for him to back or move in certain directions. After his chiropractic sessions and Kim's special care, Sky was brought back to optimum health, which resulted in 180 degree change. Sky was able to and willing to work with Kim. In only a couple of weeks, I was able to use less energy and get more out of our time together. I feel that Kim's whole horse approach, considering Sky's physical and mental health as well as my part in our relationship has made all the difference. Now elements Kim has been helping Sky and me with are starting to come together and it's a great feeling. The 60 day training was well worth it and Kim and I continue to work together several days a week. In addition, Kim's workshops, connections with other holistic horse practitioners and providing references and reading sources has also helped me in my search to have the best relationship possible with Sky."

Then: "In the field with the other horses he was pretty mellow. He liked to play and would often lead the others in a merry run. Around people he was reactive. Items in the pasture which didn't bother him (flying bags, high winds, motorcycles going by) would cause him to spin off when he was in the round pen. His feet needed to move. Leading him was an adventure. Around the barn he would be okay. If he was too far from the other horses sometimes he would lead, at other times he would take off. The farrier referred to him as the wild child. He would pick up his feet but not very willingly and he was always jumpy. If I walked into his stall he was quick to react. So quick that I would have him leave the stall when I needed to fill his water tank or set up his feed. He was very aware of anything new or things that were in a different place. In working with him most days I had to start from the beginning and work up to a new item. Some days he was less reactive than others but he was never calm and relaxed.
Now: "The first day back from Kim's he walked into the pasture and stood still to be let loose. His head was up and he was excited but he lead quietly to the pasture then stood still until his halter was taken off. He raced with the other horses most of the afternoon..kind of acting like a college student who had just returned home. That night at feeding time, I went into his stall and he stayed there..watchful but not quick or so tense that it could be felt. I touched his chest to ask him to move back and he backed up at a normal pace without leaving. The next morning his head was down and he was calm during the feeding time even though there was a new puppy yipping in the barn. I worked with him twice. Both times I could walk up to him and halter him right away. He is attentive and not spooky. I can float a bag around and on him and he doesn't jump or move. He seems to ask a lot of questions to see if he is doing what I'm asking for. I can touch him all over and he is okay, no flinching, not high headed, not ready to leave. I can ask him to do 'new' things and he seems to be thinking about what to do instead of plotting a way to leave."
