New Project: Zoolander 30 Days

This is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and I am here with my lovely wife Karen Loshbaugh riding our new project horse who we have named Zoolander! Thanks again to all of you who sent in names for him! We wanted to give you another update. This is 30 days in and we have corrected his shoeing and saddle fit and he has had 30 days of working over his back.

We think you will see a big difference! As Karen takes him down the long side, look how nicely this horse is beginning to swing through his back. He has a lovely big stride! Now that he is beginning to engage, we see how beautiful this horse is capable of moving. Remember folks, this was basically a rescue horse! Look how beautiful he is capable of moving!

Warmbloods are almost becoming like Arabs were twenty years ago in that everybody has one they are not riding in their back yard. We are staring to see so many beautiful horses that are being left behind by bad training, but if you can just get them in the right hands, look how nice they can become. Look how Zoolander is drawn up through his abdominal muscles telling us that his back is working. Look how beautifully he is swinging forward and down. Take the time and go back and compare this movement to one when we first got him and that will give you a little education about how quickly a horse can develop when you do the right things. Thank you so much! Once again, this is Will Faerber, Karen Loshbaugh and our new horse Zoolander from Art2Ride. See you next time!

    What is your typical riding schedule for your horses? How many days a week are they ridden? Sorry if you answered this in earlier blogs.

      Generally we work our horses 5 days a week with the off days not back to back. We like to break up the week so the horses don’t get two days off in a row. Hope this helps!

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.
