Frustrated with your horse's lack of progress under saddle?
Develop The Skills And Confidence To Make Riding Fun Again!
International Clinician Wendy Murdoch presents the EFFORTLESS HORSE™ Course, a comprehensive solution for horsewomen to discover what's blocking your horse, understand why it's happening, and how to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Before I tell you about this life changing program, let’s talk about your goals as a horsewoman…
...because I believe there’s something you’ll find here that will help you make progress with any horse faster and easier than you ever thought possible.
One common goal among horsewomen is to achieve clear communication resulting in balance and unity with the horse. But despite pouring time, effort, and money into lessons and clinics, books and instruction, memberships and subscriptions – even equipment promising dramatic results – the dream of feeling as one with the horse is no closer than when they started.
And then these women feel like a failure. Like the horse would be better off with someone else with more experience who could get the horse to perform under saddle. Because the more they try to get the horse to move better, it only seems to get worse. They leave the barn and drive home feeling defeated and frustrated. Some women even think they should quit because they can’t get the horse to do what they want and riding isn't fun anymore.
Maybe this is you right now…if so, I want to help you find the confidence to improve any horse. It’s the first step towards riding in harmony. Self-doubt and insecurity lead to misunderstanding between you and the horse. These create fear and frustration for both of you.
In The Effortless Horse Course, you’ll learn that knowledge is empowerment. That, confusion, ignorance, and/or being misled by bad information (whether intentional or not), is a form of co-dependency and control. You are no longer responsible - able to respond to your horse. To make good decisions, you need to connect concepts to functions, see the obvious which was previously invisible, sense the underlying movement, and know what actions to take when in the saddle.
This knowledge is pivotal in transforming your rides from a source of stress to one of anticipation and fun. Isn't it time YOU HAD THE KNOWLEDGE so that you can make good decisions for both you and your horse?
This course is for you, a horsewoman who...
has taken hours of lessons but just can't seem to understand the words or feelings relating to good movement because no one has taken the time to explain them clearly to you
wants to develop your eye for seeing when a horse is moving correctly or when he has even the slightest lameness
has always wanted to know how to create that good, free forward movement from your horse under saddle
craves a true connection but can't quite find the right body position to communicate clearly with your horse
wants to make decisions based on knowledge, facts, and understanding of the horse's physiology, instead of force and domination
is determined and willing to invest what it takes to up-level your game in the saddle, if only you had a guide to help explain things in a way that you could understand
Good News! You're in the right place. I'm going to tell you exactly how the Effortless Horse Course will provide you with the best knowledge, tools, and the caring community with unmatched support you need on this journey to find the confidence to create a deeper connection and harmony with the horse.
Let's turn your horse time into life-long learning fun!
By the End of this Program You Will:
Make Real Progress with Any Horse
Develop your 'eye' to discern the quality of movement in any horse. Learn to hone this skill so that you stop wondering what others are talking about and see it for yourself, which is the first step toward change.
Communicate Through Your Heart
Horsewomen have a deep connection with all horses. Learn to accept and acknowledge your "inner equine wisdom" and let it guide you to train responsibly. Learn to resonate with all horses through your heart center.
Discover Feel Through Deep Listening
‘Feel’ is an innate sense we all have. It's an integral part of our nervous system. To develop the sense of 'feel' we need to enhance our listening skills by reducing the noise and tuning in.
Have More Fun With Horses!
Spend more time feeling confident and in control and less time feeling frustrated and confused. Rediscover the fun of being around horses and life-long learning so that you can enjoy the ride!
Become Your Own Advisor
Learn how to make good decisions and stop an unhealthy dependency on others to get you to the next level. You’ll be given the skills you need to evaluate and create a collaborative support team, responsive to your horse.
Belong To A Like-Minded Community
You're not alone on this journey! Share your experiences with like-minded horsewomen who provide encouragement and comfort during a setback. Celebrate your successes with those who are also learning to trust themselves.
But above all else...
The Effortless Horse™ Course will give you the tools to finally be confident in your ability to break through to the next level of training and reach your horse’s full potential. No more spending endless dollars in unproductive training sessions and/or clinics where your specific issues and needs are not addressed.
I’m Wendy Murdoch, an international riding instructor with over 35 years of experience teaching equestrians how to achieve what great riders do naturally. I'll use my knowledge and experience to show riders just like you how to finally become one with your horse.
“Wendy is an incredible teacher for so many reasons - she explains the "why" behind what she teaches, draws upon vast interdisciplinary knowledge, creates a joyful, safe learning environment, and readily admits when she doesn't know something.
Her instruction has been life-changing for me and my horses. Her online course gave me valuable tools and a newfound sense of optimism and confidence in my riding, even while working through challenges with my current horse, Rio.
The online format, steady pace and community interaction were extremely beneficial. I cannot recommend Wendy enough - she is a unique and talented instructor, and it's an incredible learning opportunity not to be missed!"

ABOUT WENDY MURDOCH
For me, being a riding instructor isn't just about telling riders what to do, it's about making an impact on the world, and leaving behind a legacy, especially for my equine family, friends and the clients I serve.
And that's why I am sharing my experience working with thousands of horses and riders during the last 35 years, with as many people as I can through a program I have developed called The Effortless Horse.
If you’ve ever taken a clinic with me, you’ve probably heard my three rules. One of them being ‘the horse gets to vote’. I’ve always tried to be an advocate for horses, and if you learn the signs to listen to them, they’ll tell you everything you need to know.
That is one reason why I wanted to create this program, to help riders better read the movement of their horses and also empower them through the skills they need to create better movement, so they can get back to enjoying the ride!
Through this course, I want to help you clearly communicate your intentions to your horse in a way the horse can understand and respond. I want to share these secrets with you on your journey to achieving harmony with your horse!
My methods have been thoroughly tested over many years by horsewomen just like you and are proven to work for riders struggling with fear, pain, balance issues, stiffness and lack of understanding how to clearly communicate with their horse.
Plus, I'm proud to say that I've been able to help riders from around the world in all disciplines and ability levels achieve their equestrian goals, many of whom I know call family.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
“The awareness I gained has enabled me to ride better and without pain. I’ve covered more ground in the last 12 weeks than I have with multiple trainers over the last few years. My only regret is not having found you sooner. You have a true gift and have gained one more follower!!!"
Kathy Ellermann
"I would say that working with Wendy in an online format will literally blow your mind in every way. It changed my way of thinking from the typical "try harder" mentality that I experienced in most classes, to an expansive mind-altering approach.
Wendy is the bees' knees!"
Mia Sarapochiello
"I started riding 30 years ago in my mid-30s. My focus has been mainly on relationship/mental/emotional interactions with my horse. Now I'm focusing on the physical aspects (my technique. This course has been extremely helpful. I'm thrilled with the progress I've made!
Wendy Caldwell
"From our first conversation I felt the depth of Wendy's knowledge and her deep commitment to helping people at all levels of riding learn to get it right with their horses. She is someone you want to learn from every day!"
Melinda Folse

Understanding Equestrian Terms
I’ll help you understand words and phrases like impulsion and engagement as well as “in front of the leg,” and “on the bit” so you can use them to describe what you see and feel.
Understand equestrian language so that you can use it
This module ensures you have a solid foundation for the course.
Module 1
The Anatomy of Movement
Learning to “see” good movement starts with developing your eye for the underlying bone structure of the horse. Expand your knowledge of equine anatomy and enhance your understanding of how bones relate to movement.
Learn why gravity is the law that determines all movement.
Deepen your understanding of how the skeleton supports us.
Module 2
Seeing Movement, Part 1
In this module, I help a student identify bony landmarks on her horse. Then we place dots on “Zeke” to help better see his movement on the lunge, something you can try yourself!
Discover the true location and size of the horse's skeleton.
Feel your horse's inner anatomy from surface landmarks.
Module 3
Seeing Movement, Part 2
With the help of the dots, you can more clearly see the footfalls of each gait while on the lunge. Terms like upward-swinging back, tracking up, and engagement begin to “come to life!”
Improve your eye watching movement with the aid of sticky dots.
Learn simple, easy ways to determine 'good' vs 'poor' movement.
Module 4
Feeling Movement
You’ll really begin to tune in to the “feeling” side of things in this module, as you quiet the noise and starting developing your sense of touch and your sense for listening.
This module demystifies "feel", which is an ability we all have!
Explore simple exercises to improve your 'feel' with horses.
Module 5
Influence of the Rider,
Part 1
In this module, I work with demo rider Callie and “Joker,” a mechanical horse, to show just how much the position of the rider affects the horse’s ability to move.
Rider alignment isn't just for looking pretty - it really matters!
Learn why braced 'heels down' puts horses on the forehand.
Module 6
Influence of the Rider,
Part 2
Next you’ll watch real, live horses react to good and not-so-good rider positions. It’s easy to see how carrying weight and moving with quality can be enhanced or hampered by the rider’s posture and balance.
See how a horse reacts to the rider's position in real time.
Understand the rider's responsibility for weight-bearing posture.
Module 7
Putting it All Together on the Ground
Sometimes a good ride starts with connecting with the horse on the ground. Here I show Julia how to “unlock” parts of her horse’s body, so that he can find new possibilities of movement that weren’t available to him before.
Learn techniques to prepare the horse to carry a rider.
Develop a good warm-up routine for your horse for every ride.
Module 8
Putting it All Together in the Saddle
Correct position and movement feels as good to the horse as it does to the rider! In this module, I help demo rider Julia integrate the lessons and produce some wonderful quality in her horse’s way of going!
Integrate your new "eye" and "feel" into action under saddle.
Discover the fun being your horse's guide to good function.

“Wendy’s novel approach to teaching, combined with her decades of experience has been an invaluable part of my program. Her keen observational skills allow her to address the fundamental issues that are limiting progress of both the horse and the rider.
Her “out of the box” approach allows her to change long standing, negative patterns and establish new correct patterns. Her students can discover a new way to proceed that unlocks the potential of both horse and rider. Through her exercises the riders and horses are able to get a feel for the “new way" versus the “old way”. Students can maintain the “new way" going forward and are eager to continue their progress. They are able to see and feel the difference in their horses immediately because of the changes that Wendy makes,
Wendy is a valued member of our educational team as we strive for excellence at Wehle Farms."
The Next Step
