Amy Fleming
Sep 1, 2007
It's been four years since her mother Marion's death, four years since Amy discovered that she shares her mother's gift for helping injured and traumatized horses. This season Amy will reach a new level of horsemanship that sets her down a freeing path. It's all about going back to her roots and getting in touch with her special connection to horses in a deeper more confident way. Amy will even begin to surpass her mom's abilities. This greater understanding of horses will lead her to a better understanding of people, and open her up to greater opportunities. Amy will begin to realize that she has to let go and embrace change in order to move forward. And in the process, she'll learn that change isn't always a bad thing.
