Amy Skinner is coming to Western New York!
Amy works to embrace a training philosophy based in Classical Dressage and sound horsemanship practices. She always tries to keep 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.
Her training program works for all breeds and disciplines and focuses on promoting softness, balance, and relaxation. Amy believe 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.
Amy has spent the last ten years offering lessons and clinics, with a focus on providing information in a way that best suits each student. She believes that good teaching mirrors good training: offering information in a way the student can understand, and without judgement or force. She works with where the student is today, finding how they learn best and what they can understand, and building from there.
Skinner's philosophy of training through relaxation carries over to students working to gain better balance and feel with their horses. She believe that learning should be fun and not intimidating, and looks too provides a safe, enjoyable atmosphere for riders to improve their abilities. With years of training experience under the tutelage of fine horsemen and women like Theresa Doherty (a student of Walter Zettl and Egon von Neindorff), Brent Graef, and others.
