Kim Hiller is Woodloch's english riding instructor, specializing in dressage and jumping. She has over 25 years of teaching experience. She blends her traditional foundation with a strong emphasis on continuing education, creativity, and fresh ideas.

Kim works with each student to tailor their program to their individual goals within the framework of dressage. Believing that the horse is a reflection of the rider, Kim emphasizes rider position and body awareness. Her goal is to help students recognize what they are communicating to their horses. She guides both horse and rider towards improvement with progressive, systematic work.

Kim started riding in Germany as a child. Upon returning to Minnesota, she continued riding at Fortuna Farm under the tutelage of Max von Bleucher. She rode there for 22 years, and was eventually hired to teach, train, and break the Trakheners bred at the farm.

Over the years, Kim has had the opportunity to work with such noted riders as Hilda Gurney, Paul Belasik, and Jim Graham. From 2003-2004, she was Jim's barn manager in Alabama. "It was a wonderful time to experience being in a competitive barn," says Kim. "I was given the opportunity to compete at Training Level the Horse Park in Kentucky on a very solid Irish Draught Horse, Hardeman. Jim is a great coach and I couldn't pass up the chance to show with such a generous person.

"Being back at Woodloch since then has been like coming back home. As much fun as I had in Alabama, I appreciate most the quiet rhythm of daily work. There is a sense of acceptance and community at Woodloch that I have not experienced at other barns."
