SIX WEEKS TO CALM, FORWARD AND STRAIGHT
Learn how to take your horse from stiff, crooked and unhappy to looser, calmer, and happier!
Rhythm is what begins your horse’s journey to beautiful movement!
Amy is a gift to the horse world. She has an exceptional ability to see things from the horse’s perspective and help both horse and rider move toward balance and alignment without force, pushing or pulling. She has shed light on why my gelding and I have struggled with certain movements; and how we need to help him find a new way of moving and develop in areas he’s not strong – all in a way that builds his trust and relaxation with what we’re doing. Amy is 100% in it for the horse and I love that beyond measure. She's an incredibly knowledgeable, kind and talented teacher who is fun to work with! I would recommend anyone jump at the opportunity to learn from her every chance they can.

Problems Solved!
Six Weeks to Calm, Forward, and Straight can lead you to the beautifully moving, supple and happy horse you dream of!
But first - can you relate to these frustrating problems?
Jarring, bumpy gaits?
Difficulty Achieving Balance and Suppleness?
Troublesome behaviors from your horse?
It’s easy to understand how you could feel lost - There is a world of conflicting information out there, and frankly, much of it simply doesn’t work. You know this because you are trapped in a loop, forever fixing these
symptoms of a greater problem!
I struggled so much with my horses too, before I began learning these tried and true, centuries old classical principles of balance. I had no idea how interconnected everything was for a horse - their minds and their bodies needed to be balanced before training could ever “stick.”
Behavior problems like trouble being caught, standing still, or spookiness, difficulty with transitions, difficulty responding to the aids, and much more, all started to melt away when I discovered how to make my horse's bodies feel fantastic. Suddenly they were calm, happy, and more importantly, loving their work! I was thrilled at how beautiful their bodies looked, happy to have more success in my riding, but most importantly, overjoyed to have horses who felt as good as they deserved. I know you want this, too!

Thanks to lunging help with Amy, I FINALLY learned the missing pieces I needed on proper development, and motion
for my horse. Amy made it easy to understand what was happening to cause the horse to get out of balance, what to look for, how to correctly help them adjust. Within minutes I had the information I had spent over a year looking for. Thank you Amy, I can’t wait to show our development after a couple of weeks!

What We'll Work On
In this section, we’ll learn to understand movement and posture in general.

We’ll work on videoing and photographing your horse to determine a plan for movement and development.
Step 2 Middle:
Back and Belly
In this section, you’ll learn to understand how the middle connects and transmits force to the front and is affected by the hindquarters.
What We'll Work On
Photographing and analyzing your horses back and belly to discover dysfunction and develop a path to looseness.
Step 3:
Hind End: Pelvis and Hind Limbs

What Others Say
I appreciate Amy’s approach to looking at the whole horse in her training. Physical, emotional, and mental well being are all taken into consideration. Her ongoing education and personal development are very important qualities in a trainer and something I value in anyone I work with or refer.
Leah Astrup
CETP Equine Touch Practitioner
Amy Skinner is a rare being. She understands horses and her whole approach in everything she does with horses involves a softness. I would never hesitate to ask her opinion or for help with a horse and I often have. I consider her to be one of the best.
Dr. Stephen Peters
Amy’s breadth of skill is as vast as her attentiveness and clarity as an instructor, which is to say limitless! She is a horsewoman I admire deeply.
Jec Aristotle Ballou
Amy provided so many great exercises to do with your horse. The exercises greatly improved my horses suppleness, flexibility, softness, and balance.

What materials are needed?
A cavesson, lunge line, a lunge whip, and a flat, ideally enclosed place to work

Who is this course for?
Anyone with a sincere desire to learn how to help their horse become more comfortable and beautiful. Anyone with a little work ethic and an open mind. You will be doing lots of walking so get your sneakers on!This course is suitable for any horse who is sound enough to walk and trot. With the work we're going to be doing, we'll help develop a healthier range of motion to increase comfort and soundness. It's not reccomended for horses currently recovering from tendon or ligament injury, as the likelihood of making accidental tight turns or small circles can create unsafe strain.This course is not intended to diagnose, and it doesn't replace your vet, bodyworkers, trainers, or care team - but my aim is to support you and your horse along the path to healthy movement!Please also understand that six weeks is a timeline for coaching: not a deadline. Every horse is going to be different, you may take much less time to get the desired result, or far more. Remember to compare yourself and your horse to yourself yesterday, not to everyone else, because you're all working from a different place. If you haven't at the end of six weeks accomplished what you desire, remember you have the material of this course for a lifetime! Six weeks is just the beginning of a new beautiful journey you're embarking! There is no deadline here!
