Beaudoin A love for horses has pulsed through Kimberlyn Beaudoin’s veins for as long as she can remember. Growing up in a small town in Maine, Beaudoin clambered onto the back of a horse at the age of five with the help of her grandmother, and never looked back. She acquired a Bachelor’s degree in Equestrian Business Management from Cazenovia College and went on to intern at Dressage Today Magazine. It was there that her first creative articles were published, and the fire of her passions was fueled; one that led to the high-performance world of equestrian sport. Beaudoin continued, interning with Jennifer Wood Media, and later moving into a marketing position at Equestrian Sport Productions. It was at ESP that she first picked up a camera, simply to acquire photos to accompany social media and PR copy for ESP’s venues and events including: the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival, Winter Equestrian Festival, Tryon International Equestrian Center, and The Colorado Horse Park, as well as the FEI World Equestrian Games™ Tryon 2018, and the Rolex Central Park Horse Show. Upon the conclusion of the 2018 WEG, Beaudoin started her own equestrian marketing company, KTB Creative Group, and transitioned into a role working with, and learning from, International Equestrian Sport Lifestyle Photographer, Ashley Neuhof. Beaudoin now plans to focus more on her own business, providing equestrian businesses and athletes with a boutique, all-encompassing marketing experience, and immersing herself in storytelling through photography, writing, and social media. ktbcreativegroup.com | @ktbcreativegroup @ktbcreative_photography
