📚 Teaching the young horse the importance of purpose behind the cues and training.

Sage learned this week to take the side pass cue and go over a pole, or open gates both directions. We also took the bending work and created tight circles for the barrels. All the basics skills were there so introducing gate openings and sidepass poles for example were a very clear progression.

Clarity leads to consistency which leads to CONFIDENCE!

Don't for get a dash of patience 👌

Have a great Saturday 👍

Working equitation horse in the making! 🐎

Cantering. My favorite gait. Partially due to the power. Partially in that is is not so jarring to my delicate neck.

Educate your eye: Note the amount the inside hind leg is under the rider, here the horse can carry us with ease. This is the goal to shift even more weight to the HQ and have the horse bend, round, collect, all different words to explain engagement of the HQ.

As you will see in all my photos, I have a cervical collar when I ride. This is absolutely a not a flattering item what is necessary to ease the movement which causes so much more pain. My Andalusian incredibly smooth until he gets into the passage trot.

Pictured here riding without a bit, utilizing a caveson only. Using my Edix Ishya flex tree saddle, which is designed to provide maximum comfort for the horse. So we are both comfortable!

Opening gates, this is one of my favorite things to teach. I break it down into easy steps. So the horse stays very quiet.

This morning, I got out early to beat the heat and filmed an obstacle course with the young horse here in training, first on the ground, and then his first ever under saddle for many of these tasks.

* Sage first gate opening from the saddle! Enjoy!

Obviously there's lots of room for improvement, but he did very well and the videos are loaded into the classroom.

This classroom will not be free in 2026. Take advantage of it now!

What does 14 hours under saddle look like when combining classical dressage and modern science learning theory look like?

Sage had first had 4 light rides ba****ck for about 10 minutes at a time. The saddle was then introduced and short rides 20 to 30min of work focused on progression. At ride 30 we are working confidently on leg yeilds, haunches in the start of shoulder in and walk pirouette. He has also started to lengthen is topline in the trot and first canter under saddle.

Progress educational videos are located in the adivamurphy.com/classroom

Happy watching!!! Lot of free training tips and motivational 💪 videos.

Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

No hour is wasted that is spent in the saddle.

Especially when riding my Edix Ishya saddle on My PRE Andalusian!

Is there really any better feeling?

El Sonador my PRE Andalusian

First rode him as a 3yr old and slowly build him up to the massive power house he is today 💪

Although he looks a little chubby with the little human in him! My legs have shrunk ?! 🤣

Share your then and now!! Let's see the wonderful changes. Mine sure turned white fast!

Above and beyond all things business, I am a parent.

July 31st 2007 I had a son and now
Kade Gotzke is celebrating his 18th birthday!!!!! Today marks a milestone as he transitions to adulthood AND begins preparations for his university studies in New Zealand, commencing February 2026!

We have just received official acceptance letter! ✨️🎊🎉

His academic pursuits will include a master's degree in environmental science. We are extremely proud of this young man.

He never continued riding horses 🐎 and has his own passion of figure skating. However we share many great memories over the years with horses.

Happy birthday young man!

Combining classical dressage to help the horse balance and be straight from day one with science of systematically training has beautiful results.

Sage pictured here with his 1st ride and 20th ride. No rides have been more than 20 minutes long. I emphasize quality over quantity. He is in a caveson only and will transition to a bit later this summer as his owner plans to show him working equitation in a few years.

Hope these inspire you to gently shape your horses learning for both prompt polite answers to cues and for a beautiful well developed topline.

Happy Monday!

Training updates

Sage has been here for a month now, I have been introducing the lateral work to him over the past 3 weeks.

It is so beautiful to watch him figure out how to use his body and become the majestic horse he is developing into. Came as a baby and now already showing so much more muscle and body control.

Want to learn more? There are many training videos in the classroom tab on my website! This is a free classroom for 2025. Take advantage of these videos!
