Good afternoon, this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and I wanted to show you another one of the horses that we are now working with. This is Carrie Underwood and her horse Etch-A-Sketch. Etch-A-Sketch is just four years old, and just started dressage training with me just a couple of months ago. We are thrilled with this horse and think she has a lot of potential once she fills into herself.

As you can see in the video, she is quite huge and just look at that lofty beautiful trot. She is just now learning to stretch. When we first started her, she had a little break in her third vertebrae, which is why it is so important that we get her all the way out there. You can see sometimes when she accepts the contact that she comes a little …

Good morning this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride here with Frauke Murphy continuing their training. Frauke has been working with this horse for about a month now getting her to stretch on the lunge line and doing the same thing on it’s back, and I wanted you to see how nicely she has developed since then.

When we look at Frauke we can see that she has a very nice leg position, but she needs to just stretch her shoulders back. This will happen over time, this is only her third lesson with me. She will begin to get those things straightened out as she gets her horse straightened out. Every time her horse starts to come up, she needs to be sure that when she softens her a little bit that her shoulders don’t come over with it.

While this horse …

Good morning this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and we have been introducing you to our new horse in training, Bailador!

This is about the fifth time I’ve lunged him. He is used to having his head tied down and would brace upward and tighten. This is a horse that used to spook at every little sound and would jump out of his skin, and like so many other horses today is only half trained. If everything is perfect, this horse will kind of go along okay but as soon as something goes wrong he was ready to jump out of his skin and buck. After only a few days, he is already starting to relax and stretch into the contact. Notice how long I have the side reins on this horse, just like we have shown you in other videos. …

Good morning this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and I am here with a new horse that has come in for training for about two weeks. I thought it would be a good opportunity for us to see what kind of changes we can make over that kind of time.

This is Bailador who belongs to a woman from Los Angeles. He is a ten year old and a registered Oldenburg and interestingly enough he is actually the son of the stallion we have here named Contigo. As you can see he has a rather long back and is a very large horse and has had quite a few back problems and soreness. His back is looking pretty good today when a week ago he would flinch away from your hand. I have already worked him for a total of five days, three …

Good morning, this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and we are watching Ginny Walker and her mare Toasty!

Toasty is a horse that Ginny started riding with us about 2 years ago. The first time that we saw this horse it was a basket case , the kind of horse that would start shaking and lose it’s mind when you got on him. She has brought him along beautifully working on her own at home and coming for lessons and is now able to stretch it quite nicely! He is starting to relax and turn into a very nice mount for her.

Ginny has also done a lot herself to get in shape and she is really looking great and so much more flexible than she used to be and is able to stay with this horse. Very nice! She demonstrates a beautiful deep …
