Misty Moor Farm Holistic Haven Boarding & Training Facility on 74 Acres of Natural Beauty Now at the age of 54, Amy's love for horses remains unwavering.

Amy Buck-Thiessan owner of MistyMoor Farm, is a lifelong equestrian enthusiast who has dedicated her life to horses. From an early age, Amy's passion for horses was evident, and at the age of 10, she earned her first horse against all odds, as her family wasn't involved in the equestrian world. She took up a job at a trail riding facility and made a deal with her dad that if she could achieve the

honor roll, he would purchase her a horse. Despite a minor setback with a B+ grade, Amy's determination paid off, her dad honored her hard efforts, and she received her cherished equine companion. Her early career led her to a Morgan breeding farm, where she gained valuable experience cleaning stalls, leading horses. However, it was her time at an Arabian breeding farm that transformed her perspective on training methods. Leasing a mare and raising her first foal from the ground up for a remarkable 21 years opened Amy's eyes to the importance of gentler approaches in horse training. In 1996, Amy's equestrian journey took a significant turn when she discovered Monty Roberts during a clinic in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Inspired by his techniques, she eagerly volunteered at his subsequent events and began to view him as a mentor. Seeking to deepen her knowledge, Amy pursued employment with Monty Roberts at Flag is Up Farm in Solvang, CA. She played a pivotal role in the coordination of, selecting horses for clinics. As time went on, Amy became one of Monty Roberts' certified Instructors. Together with the developmental team, Amy actively contributed to the development of the Monty Roberts International Learning Center, creating curriculum, exercises, lessons, tests. She had the invaluable opportunity to work alongside Anna Twinney under Crawford Hall, assisting during clinics, and presenting alongside him. Amy analyzed videos submitted by students of the MRILC for feedback. After her fulfilling journey with Monty Roberts , Amy applied her wealth of experience as she managed Gas Light Farm, an Arabian breeding farm, conditioning and breeding the stallions. Imprinting foals, halter breaking and starting young horses under saddle. She furthered her training endeavors traveling to other farms. Amy continued to expand her knowledge by attending Equine Breeding Management Conferences at Ohio State. She obtained a Level 1 certified center riding instructor. Amy further enhanced her skills as a Reach Out To Horses (R.O.T.H) trainer under the guidance of Anna Twinney. Additionally, she became Reiki certified, integrating holistic approaches into her equestrian practices. However, her most cherished accomplishment arrived in 2004 when she inherited MistyMoor Farm, her grandfather's family farm spanning 74 acres. This marked a full-circle moment in her equestrian journey. MistyMoor Farm is a holistic boarding and training facility that embodies Amy's vision with natural care, communication and teaching the natural language of the horse, building a connection to take into the saddle/ show ring of any discipline.

Dear Horse industry,

Stop being awful. Grow people.

Stop putting others down for the sake of one's own prosperity. Lift them up.

Stop the whispers in the warm up ring. Give people kindness.

Stop the snarky remarks behind closed doors. Find something good to say.

Stop with the clicks and underhanded

Stop manipulating others words or actions.

Stop normalizing poor sportsmanship

Chances are if you've had horses long enough you've encountered some sort of this. From the competition world, to trail riders, to rescues, to top level riders, it's everywhere and it's terrible and it's got to stop. It's got to.

I've met riders, young and old, who are petrified to ride infront of people because some where along the line, someone told them they weren't good enough. I've seen talented people quit because of gossip and I've seen people give up on what they believe in because folks made them belive they were only 1' tall.

When you see a rider kicking them selves after a bad ride, tell them great job for hanging in there and give them some tips.

When you see that girl show up in the rusty old bumperpull, know she likely put everything she had into her entry fees.

When you see an organization fighting for what they believe in, fight with them.

When you see the girl too shy to ride, ask her to help you out by hopping on to keep your horse company because it would be an awfully big help.

When you see the girl scared to death in line up remind them why they are there and they have this.

When you see the girl discouraged over progress, remind them how far they have come.

The world is full of ugliness, horses should be our escape, not a place we feel belittled. We are all incredibly blessed to have Equines in our life. Becoming better Horseman is hard enough without having folks tear you down.

Please start normalizing raising each other up.

“The horse is very sensitive. He can feel a fly land on him. I know you all know this, because you put fly spray on your horses. He can feel a fly land on him, yet you're tugging on him, pulling on him like he weighs a million pounds. You're not working with what nature gave you; you're DESTROYING what nature gave you." - Ray Hunt
