Romy: 3 Year Old Starting Under Saddle

19th August

Hello this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and today I wanted to introduce you to Romy. She started training with us about 4 weeks ago and she is half Hanoverian. This horse is owned by one of our students who we started with lunging about a year ago and she is back with us again to begin working under saddle. We began with stretching on the lunge just as we have started our other horses that you have seen in our previous videos such as Miracle. After starting correctly in the lunge first, look how beautifully she is working over her back in the trot.

When we first started with this horse, she had a tendency to curl her neck backwards, but she has gotten used to the weight and has gotten a lot happier. Take the time to work these …

Miracle’s First Trot Under Saddle

7th August

Hello this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and today we are giving you another update on the horse Miracle. Today is the first day that we have him in the trot under saddle.

Look how nicely he is already looking in the trot. If you get your horse established correctly, and are great in the lunge, then you get on and it’s no big deal. Miracle is going to turn into a very nice horse. Again, this is the first time we have had him under saddle and you can see how easy it is when we prepared everything else before we started this.

Once again, this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride with my associate trainer Amber Matusek 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.
