Amy Skinner blends the principles of classical dressage and sound horsemanship practice. In her work, Amy keeps the best interest of horse and rider in mind, choosing to avoid fads and quick fixes, but to seek continual learning from the best teacher: the horse.Amy offers a training program for all breeds and disciplines that focuses on promoting softness, balance, and relaxation.  She believes that any horse can improve given enough time and understanding, and that force and dominance play no part in building a strong relationship.  Working with the horse’s mind develops confidence, and an understanding of biomechanics develops correct and sound movement.  She believes that learning should be fun and not intimidating, and she provides a safe, enjoyable atmosphere for riders to improve their abilities. As she says, “Training should never be so serious that we lose our sense of awe for the horse.” For more information on Amy and her work, please visit her FB page (https://www.facebook.com/AmySkinnerHorsemanship ), her website (https://amyskinnerhorsemanship.com/) and her book (https://amyskinnerhorsemanship.com/product/to-catch-a-horse/)
