If you are looking for someone to ‘send’ your horse, STOP looking and give KCB Equine a call. My Arabian mare, Sadie, needed a head to toe to tail makeover. She came into my life as a 10 year with an unknown history. Although sweet and gorgeous, she was about as uncomfortable in her skin as any horse I had met. Colette was able to help her discover how to relax and allow her brilliance and athleticism to shine. Body work, nutritional support and balanced hoof trims, thanks to Ken, were all part of the whole meal deal provided while Sadie was in training at KCB Equine. Our work continues together now that she is home, but I am so excited to have a pony partner that is ready to learn and grow with me.

My dog, Cookie, was having extreme muscle spasms. After going to three different Vets and still no improvement, I had Colette do Canine Touch on her. .Even after the first session I seen an improvement, I was so relieved, My Dog was crying in pain before she saw Colette, and after about three times, her spasms were dramatically reduced. Since she's worked on her she now seems to been pain free. What a relief! If you have ever heard a baby cry in pain, that is what it was like with my dog. So happy that Colette was here to help me out in my time of need. I started to cry because I felt so helpless to help my own dog. Next time I know where to go. Thank you so very much for helping me and my Cookie.

“Because of our positive experience with Colette, we trusted her with starting our four year old Morgan mare, Paree'. She did an absolutely fantastic job. Paree' has lots of "go" and is very full of herself. Colette worked with those qualities and gave Paree' confidence and respect. Paree' is a pleasure both on the ground and in the saddle. Paree' is one of the foals we bred and raised with the objective of selling; but now I don't know if we can part with her. We really thank Colette for providing a great foundation which allows us to see and appreciate Paree's talents.”

“Colette has been a wonderful teacher for me and my horses. She has started three of our horses and we have been pleased with each one. She is a great teacher for the human as well, easy to follow and understand.”

“Colette has been a great coach to me in natural horsemanship training. She is very knowledgeable, focused, and tuned into the horse and person she is working with. Every minute is used for learning and positive results; she has helped so much in advancing my horse and me to a better level of communication!”

“I am a new horse owner and have been taking lessons from Colette to learn how to work with my horse and become a better rider. Colette is a very patient and encouraging teacher and has helped me gain confidence in myself. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of training and horsemanship and is able to demonstrate and explain clearly what to do. She has helped me a lot and I would recommend her to anyone!”

“I've been around horses since I was about 2 years old and I though I knew a lot about horses and how to ride. But after going through training, I've learned so much more. My horse didn't even seem like the same horse when I came to pick her up after the 2 months you had her (in training). She was more confident and she could respond to the things I was asking her to do. I also have become more confident from the lessons we've had together. I feel that there is a better connection between Blaze and I. I've learned that some of the things that I was doing while riding might have been causing my horse to act the way she was acting…You make the world a better place for the horses you help and the owners who love them.”

“I can say that coming out that day you did the problem horse session really gave me hope and totally changed my outlook and way of thinking. I have a much better relationship with our horses…. and finally feel like there is something I can do to change behavior etc. The times you came out for training lessons/saddle fitting were also very beneficial. We learned things we never would have thought of before. Our mare no longer runs all over the pasture when we bring out a bridle. We (my husband and I), have been very impressed with the work that you and Ken do and are very grateful for your time and effort.”

“I wished to prepare my new 9- year old QH, Cinch, for a 5-day grueling trail ride in the Badlands of North Dakota, but Cinch was too sore to even work in the round pen. I brought him to Colette for Equine Touch Therapy, after which he exercised without apparent discomfort and then completed the trail ride easily.”

“Colette did a great job of teaching a 4H clinic. She helped my daughter work on a balking issue she was having with her horse and did so in a way to build my daughter's confidence. Colette stressed the importance of safety, saddle fit, and building confidence in both horse and rider. I feel Colette is able to communicate well with all the different levels of riders in our 4H club from beginners to experienced.”

"Colette does a wonderful job in assessing a horse and rider and is able to tailor her training to the needs of each individual with great care. She has the ability to work with the sensitive, nervous horse as well as the bossy, pushy type of horse with amazing results. Even when I bring Colette a horse for a 'spring tune up' they come back better and better each time and we are able to work on more refined training rather than dealing with the 'same old issue' each time. Thank you Colette!"
