Join me, Dr. Angel, as I sit down with Will Faerber, Master Horseman and Founder of Art2Ride. With over 40 years of professional experience, Will's journey is deeply rooted in the principles of Classical Foundation Training. He studied under the legendary Nuno Oliveira in Portugal, an influence that shaped his philosophy of treating each horse as a unique individual with specific needs.
Will has competed in Eventing, Jumping, and Dressage, coaching students to regional and state championships, including Horse of the Year titles. On the Florida Dressage circuit, he and his horses consistently earned top honors. Remarkably, he earned his Silver Medal riding a horse once deemed too dangerous to live, showcasing his transformative approach to horsemanship.
In this interview, Will discusses the adversarial relationships often seen between horse and rider in modern disciplines. He advocates for a return to Classical Foundation Training—a system designed to develop the horse's gymnastic ability, allowing it to carry a rider in true balance. Discover how Will's methods lead to tension-free performance, with horses working in harmony on the weight of the reins.
