Horse Wise

On this episode (#50), Amy Skinner returns for a fun and laughter-filled discussion on the relationship between herd dynamics, horse handling and riding. Also we ponder the nature of epiphanies and why they often deliver both the highs and lows simultaneously. .Amy offers a training program for all breeds and disciplines that focuses on promoting softness, balance, and relaxation.   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
