Hello HorseDriver friends! I am Amie Howard, the newest team member here at Chimacum Tack. After many years of being a customer, fan, proponent, and champion of everything Chimacum Tack, I think Mindy and Maren decided they should just go ahead and hire me!

I have been involved with horses in one way or another for most of my life. I spent 10 years working as a vet tech at an equine vet clinic, and more than a decade training horses for the public. Over the years I have shown all around western horses, western pleasure horses, and reiners. I have dabbled with jumping, dressage, endurance, trail competitions and probably a little of everything else along the way including a million pleasure trail miles and every clinic I could get to. I have a degree in equine science and an MBA, so these days I spend most of my time in an office.

About 15 years ago, I traded for my first driving animal, a mammoth jenny, and I have been hooked on driving ever since. A few years ago, I lost my riding partner/heart horse and decided to really focus on driving. With that shift in focus came an interest in refining my driving skills and in learning to drive multiples. These days I am focusing on CDE goals. I consider myself a student of horsemanship – I hope that I never stop learning about better ways to train and relate to my equine friends, and about better equipment to make them happier and more comfortable in our work.
