Share an Enjoyable Relationship With Your Horse Through Your Daily Interactions in a Meaningful and Mindful Way

Learn how to interact and notice the most subtle moments (which most people miss) that make the biggest impact on your horse’s balance, state of mind and performance under saddle

Every interaction today impacts the possibilities of tomorrow

The way you lead, handle, and communicate shapes your horse's behavior, for better or worse. Join Amy Skinner on a transformative journey to understand the profound impact posture and daily handling has on your horse's response and well-being.

Dear Student of the Horse,

Every interaction with your horse holds a universe of potential within it, and it's time to unlock that potential for a more fulfilling partnership.

Whether it's as simple as putting on a halter or as complex as an upper-level maneuver, every single moment spent with your horse shapes the path of your journey together. It's not just about getting things done; it's about how you approach them.

The first touch of an unhandled colt carries the seeds of their future, from the first ride to the most advanced movements. How we introduce them to touch, guide them to find balance, teach them to think, and encourage relaxation lays the groundwork for their entire life.

Through years of working with horses, I've come to understand something profound - something that to many, is so easily overlooked, taken for granted, and or tuned out.

It's about recognizing that every task, regardless of its size, is an opportunity to connect, understand, and grow with your horse. That's why I'm excited to introduce you to my course, "Posture and Daily Handling: Creating Balance Simply and Effectively In Every Interaction." This course This is not a problem solving course. It's about the insights, the intention, and the impact your actions can have on your horse. This is an opportunity for horsemen and horsewomen in all stages of their journey to discover practical techniques for more meaningful interactions, starting from the ground up.

There is no haltering, leading, trailer loading, grooming or simply even saying hello that doesn’t alter their way of going, or their way of thinking. Everything we hope to accomplish is made possible through the care we offer to doing simple things well, and the respect for the nature of the horse within every interaction.

I look forward seeing you in the course.

Amy's Posture and Daily Handling course is the gold standard for anyone who owns a horse or even anyone who deals with them regularly. We spend more time doing mundane everyday tasks with our horses than we do practicing our piaffe, perfecting the passage, or running through our rein-back. It only makes sense that we should pay very close attention to doing these seemingly unimportant things as well as we possibly can. It's the absolute basis for safely interacting and supporting our relationship with our horse. I found this course to be filled with excellent information, delivered in the way that only Amy can. You really get the sense that she cares about you and your horse as much as you do. She wants you to be safe and happy and your horse to be happy and comfortable in your presence. You both deserve it. Not to mention, I see so many accidents and bad situations that could have been prevented if only people applied the knowledge to be found in this course. Highly recommended!
