Team Spring Creek
The Hard Working, Dedicated, Fun Team!
Gabby Thompson
Gabby is 15 and has been riding with Kim at Spring Creek for four years. Since riding with Kim, Gabby has purchased Calistoga. Starting at Beginner Novice in 2007, the team is now competing at Preliminary level and is working towards Young Riders next year. The two  have formed a great partnership. Gabby also rides many other horses at the barn.
Thamar Draper
Thamar is an adult amateur and started riding with Kim at Spring Creek in 1999, when she got bored with Skydiving and wanted something fun to do at the weekends. In 2010 Thamar started a new partnership with Ire Lark, an Appendix Quarter Horse. Thamar has high hopes for this fun partnership in the future!
Bernie Low
Bernie Low is one of Kim's "lady riders". She first rode in England, then on moving to the States lapsed into gentle trail riding. After moving to Spring Creek (following her daughter) she began to ride again. Kim helped her to find her baby - the sweetest 4 year old thoroughbred named Nicky, and now they are having a wonderful time doing dressage and stadium jumping.
Kate Cummins
Kate started riding with Kim with the simple idea of fulfilling a childhood wish of learning to ride, just ride not jump which she was convinced was beyond her capabilities! That was 15 years ago. 2004 saw Kim returning from New Zealand with the perfect partner for her, Bang On (Spyder). With Kim's patience and guidance, Spyder and Kate are now turning their eyes towards Training Level eventing and enjoying every minute of it.
Lynne Dordahl
Lynn is an adult amateur who returned to riding after a 20 year hiatus from competing in Hunters / Jumpers and Eventing on the San Diego Circuit as a teenager. After a successful return to the show ring, Lynn started riding  with Kim in 2001. Lynn purchased her horse Gold Finch from Kim's breeding program as an unbroken 3 year-old and helped train her. Now 49 and 11 respectively, the team now competes at the Beginner Novice Level in Three Day Eventing and Third Level Dressage.
Donna Espinosa
Donna has been riding with Kim for over 10 years. Her semi-retired horse Eric the Red enjoys being looked after by his staff. Donna purchased Godiva (Diva) from Kim's breeding program.
Maddie Bright
Maddie may be quiet, but is not be underestimated! Maddie and her pony Hannatel enjoy eventing and dressage with Team Spring Creek. Maddie also rides other horses at the barn.
Kaylee Smith
Kaylee successfully juggles her college, work, social and riding life. Kaylee has been competing Tasman Z (Taz)  to Preliminary level in eventing for the past couple of years. Kaylee also rides many other horses at the barn.
Kim Low
Kim has 4 horses currently. Kim competes Bonita (Nita), bred by Kim Scheid and Benchmark (Bench) a thoroughbred at Training level in eventing. Zippity Cricket (Zippy) competes at Training level eventing and 3rd level dressage and is currently for sale after being sadly outgrown. Pete, her first pony, is enjoying retirement at home.
Dan Scheid
Dan is currently competing his horse Glory (Mouse) bred by Kim at Intermediate Level in eventing. Dan is also the resident farrier, Spring Creek course builder, assistant coach, and team counselor.
Melissa Owens
Melissa competes her horse River Oak Dreamweaver
(River) in dressage, and Jenny bred by Kim in eventing.
