Training Tapes By Martha M

"I love training horses and getting them on their way. I like to see them later in their careers with kids on them."

Care and Experience

All horses that come in to Murdock Stables are treated with respect and given the care that horses in training demand. Martha's extensive background in Equine Sports Medicine allows Murdock Stables to offer the highest level of preventative care.

Although a small staff is available to assist with feeding and stable duties, all horses at Murdock Stables are trained by Martha herself. You can be assured that your horse will get the highest quality, most competent training available.

After years of successful training and showing, we have lots of success stories to share. Meet our Clients and find out what a difference a Murdock trained horse can make!

For the "do it yourselfers," Martha offers several training tapes available for purchase, including Hunter Pleasure, Show Hack, and Side Saddle. All three tapes are professionally videographed, and have been used by amateurs with great success.
