A 'bumblebee path-style' conversation with Amy Skinner...
A â 'bumblebee path-style'â conversation with horse trainer and coach, Amy Skinner. From Amy's website: "Amy Skinner embraces a training philosophy based in Classical Dressage and sound horsemanship practices. 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 and I discuss topics including
- Â Horses in the age of social media and short attention spans
- Â Writing and creative license
- Â Wearing the hats of professional, mother, friend and student
- Â Self-care practices, including meditation and breath work
- Â The yeas and nays of training horses with treats, rope halters, lungeing, and the one thing horses need to trailer successfully
