Full Circle staff embrace the concepts of creating harmony and wellness with our equine partners. Be it through the treatment and care to ground work and under saddle training, we strive to keep the horse’s gentle forgiving nature intact. Each person who collaborates with FCS brings a unique talent that strengthens the goal of encouraging harmony.
Kim Anaston-Karas, Manager 
Graduate, Morven Park International Equestrian Institute 1978 with the Instructors Degree. Kim has trained and competed under top national and international trainers. Experiences include eventing, managing private hunters, jumpers and foxhunting farms in Virginia, Maryland and Colorado, and training young Thoroughbreds and Racing Quarterhorses Current focus is primarily upon dressage, and plan to compete at the FEI level in 2011.
In addition to her love for horses, she was an international sailing competitor and made an Olympic campaign to compete for the world’s first women’s events to be held in Barcelona 1992. This effort resulted in a gold medal at the 1992 IYRU Women’s World Championships in Livorno Italy.
For many years Kim worked in the national conservation field serving as director of an environmental education school, Senior Educator for National Audubon Society’s Florida Field Office, and directing satellite offices for National Parks Conservation Association and the Ocean Conservancy.
Happily ‘retired’ from advocacy, running Full Circle Stables has incorporated all aspects of this eclectic career to enable her to dedicate all her energy to her first love and profession. “I suppose my passion is contagious” says Kim, “which makes it really gratifying to be hosting training events, clinics, and sometimes even wine and cheese celebrations at FCS. I look forward to meeting new visitors and helping young and older owners alike reach new goals with their horses.”
