About K.j.'s Equine Therapy
K.j. (Kelly Johnson) was born in Calgary and moved to the country and into the world of horses before she started school. Horses have been her passion and her love. She enjoyed their personalities and their differences from an early age. She grew up learning on a variety of horses from green broke, challenging temperaments, and seniors that needed special care to stay sound and comfortable. She loved the challenge of spending long hours getting the most of a horse and having him/her happy while they were offering their best. It is no wonder Kelly chose to make her life’s work with horses and trying to help them to be all they could be for their owner.
Kelly is a graduate of the B.C. College of Equine Therapy and has also achieved the following credentials:
