Equitana Australia 2022 The Way of The Horse Winner: Skye Liikanen!
 
Skye grew up riding horses and was very competitive to National level in Dressage and showing, being a member of the QLD Young Rider Squad and a HOTY winner.  She spent over four years as a trick rider/performer at the Australian Outback Spectacular.
Skye had the opportunity to move to Tom Price in WA for two years, before following her passion for horses to North America. 
After spending time working with horses in Canada, Skye had the amazing opportunity to work as assistant trainers for Dan and Elizabeth James of the Australian Equine Performance Center in Midway, Kentucky. 
Working for Dan James gave Skye many unique opportunities and the experience of working with a large range of horses, including Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, Quarterhorses and Mustangs.
While in the USA Skye’s took part in the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover.  Training her Thoroughbred ‘Brumby’ over six months they won the Dressage Championship & placed 4th in the Freestyle in a field of one hundred.
More recently Skye was the Equitana Australia 2022 The Way of The Horse winner having competed again two other female trainers working with an unhandled horse over 4 70-minute sessions.
