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 ✔️ Horses in the age of social media and short attention spans ✔️ Writing and creative license ✔️ Wearing the hats of professional, mother, friend and student ✔️ Self-care practices, including meditation and breath work ✔️ The yeas and nays of training horses with treats, rope halters, lungeing, and the one thing horses need to trailer successfully Thanks for listening!

Tracey Turner is an equestrian and entrepreneur from New Jersey. She was introduced to the horse industry at the young age of 4 after attending a county fair. After taking lessons at a local barn, Tracey fell in love with all things horse!. She went from riding horses to driving horses with the help of her neighbor and local horse community. Tracey now owns multiple horses and drives competitively, training in South Carolina for half of the year.   Tracey competes in an event called Combined Driving… think “3 day eventing”... but with a cart! In this episode she shares her experiences in the sport, defining the different events, carriage terms and the general process. Currently, she has a German riding pony named CHARDONNAY (Barn Name: Cooper, after the wine barrel manufacturers). She even remembers the moment she became just as comfortable in the carriage as she does on the back of the horse. Using the same techniques she used to train Alaskan malamutes to pull a sled, Tracey felt very comfortable “behind the reins” with young horses and ones new to the sport.    Not only is she a competitive equestrian, she is also an entrepreneur/business owner. Tracey developed the idea of OneSourceHorse.com after working for a small healthcare tech start-up company around the time people started using computers to inquire about their insurance policies. In this episode, she shares her experience in crafting this membership website from scratch! This website is an all encompassing location for horse management, barn management and expense tracking.    Have you loaned a piece of tack to someone? Keep track of it in the OneSourceHorse tack room!  Have you ever pulled up to a show and discover you left your Coggins at home? Upload it to OneSourceHorse for safe and convenient keeping!  We are honored to have Tracey chat with us during this episode and encourage all of our YBE fam to join OneSourceHorse.com to get a handle on their horse-y business!   PS, Did you know a cart has 2 wheels and a carriage has 4? Did you know that some breeds name their horses with a particular letter each year to keep track of their age?    Mentioned in this episode: One Source Horse: www.onesourcehorse.com  Book by Denny Emerson: https://amzn.to/3a1vXjm (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEVlYTE5RldYUEM5dnozcmFxdE9mTUlGRnBmUXxBQ3Jtc0ttR1Z2Q2NkbU4wSFAzazZ0YkpsV0t2a0VMN1Y3aDlaNjJXam9wbjRpYmh5SjNjSVlfcndtemozWGNubEgyMkUwaFpWQVdvSTg2d3p6ekltR19BWGR1ZlJaSE55eGkzRWJETHNEZmtYd2NWV3FodGR0UQ%3D%3D&v=SGdlh708a8c&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F3a1vXjm&event=video_description)  Advice for Equestrians - SHOW YOUR HORSE: it makes you practice/improve your skill, helps you get over performance nerves and teaches you time management  - Put yourself in front of people who will give you opportunities  - NETWORK!  - Be kind, friendly and willing to put in work necessary to compete in your discipline

Issues that affect the way a rider thinks has been the topic for this podcast season. This episode is about something that you should spend some time contemplating when you are at home sitting on the couch. If you do, it will change the way you ride. This topic is pressure. How do you react when you hear me say pressure? What flashes in your mind? What do you picture when I say pressure and horse? Understanding that a horse doesn’t feel pressure the way that you do, and the right pressure will allow your horse to learn and grow, can make you a better rider. Show Notes [03:37] My first podcast episode is set to a video of horses playing on YouTube. When you watch the horses play, you are watching an entire game of pressure. [03:58] Horses aren't afraid of pressure. A lot of riders try to create a pressure free world for their horses, but it isn't real. [04:39] A pressure-free world isn't a realistic view of our lives or of the horse's life. [05:07] If you watch horses in the wild, there is pressure from other horses. There is also external pressure from the environment. [05:54] To build muscle, we need a form of resistance or pressure. [06:11] I propose that it is a form of pressure that builds a horse's mind. [06:19] Applying pressure on can break down a horse mentally. [06:30] By avoiding pressure the horse becomes weaker. [07:13] Denny Emerson of Tamarack Hill Farm talks about pressure and how it depends on context. [09:33] My bareback bridleless ride with Roxy was not created without pressure. Pressure as a theory is not just a theory for people. It can become a theory and principle for horses. [10:15] Roxy understood that the pressure wasn't something to run from. [10:39] We can also teach the horse by holding contact with the reins. [11:01] You can teach the horse that training isn't a scary thing, but before that happens you have to believe it in your mind. [11:14] A simple, but not easy exercise. Take the slack out of the reins and find the rhythm of the horse's head as it walks. [11:36] When a horse walks their head moves up and down or slightly forward and back. [12:17] Following the horse's head with your hand makes you easy to hold hands with. [12:49] If you have a tenseness about the idea of contact in your mind, you won't have a good result. [13:18] Both people and horses need to understand pressure in order to learn things. [14:20] To advance in life, you need to be able to understand and handle degrees of pressure.
