Kim Taylor

As Kim had spent most of her adolescent life working in stable yards and her first three years working for a small animal veterinary practice and woking with veterinary surgeon's, her main interest is and always has been animal welfare.

Kim visited Egypt on many holiday trips in the early 1990's, and having had horses of her own and with her experience of working with the Vets in England, struggled to visiting and spending her time in all the temples and tombs, when all she could see were the animals.  She immediately saw the desperate need for the horses, donkeys and animals of Egypt.  The idea of a washing service to promote preventative medicine was born.  She gave up her job and life with her family in England to run the ACE centre in Luxor.
