F Murphy: Student Update 3

Good morning this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and I am here in Rancho Santa Fe this morning with Ms. Murphy. I wanted you all to see this horse and it’s progress. She has been working on this for about six months now. She started as kind of a rail western horse and if you go back and view the earlier videos you will see she is moving quite differently now.

If you go back and look at the previous videos and see how she was moving, you will see that she was really laboring to be able to carry Ms. Murphy. Now you can see that she is well underneath herself , you can see that the whole topline is beautifully lit up, and  she is tracking up and engaging. This is a very good working trot for this horse! Again, this is only after six months and starting with a horse that was a trit trot sort of rail horse in the western world. Now she has a real trot, works over her back, is calm, and has a nice quiet contact with the bridle with no pulling and has a nice foam forming around her lips. Even her canter has become quite nice! She should be a model for Arab owners everywhere!Look how nice and steady your horses can become when they are handled correctly. Look how nicely the back end of this horse is! Look how nicely she is beginning to fill up behind the saddle and is developing through her loin.

Once again, go back and look at the previous videos of Ms. Murphy and compare them to today’s.  You will see that she has developed quite beautifully and her stride is a lot longer than it was and she is able to carry the weight more efficiently and comfortably. This is Will faerber from Art2Ride and we will see you next time!

From the Blog!

Join me as I post weekly blogs covering many topics relating to Classical Foundation Training. I have intentionally left out the word "dressage" because many people have a negative association with the prevalent "crank and spank" approach or that it is a sport for only those who are afraid to jump.

Dressage as it is meant to be is an understanding of how to best optimize a horse's movement and ability to carry a rider, surely a benefit for any horse, any discipline. It is also important in maintaining your horse's safety, soundness and sanity.
