Four year old Woodlander Farouche is quite simply astonishing! Ferdi Eilberg says she has the ideal combination of rhythm and relaxation, coupled with natural energy. She has won all major young horse champs' in 2010 and Mike is careful not to exploit her talent. Instead, the focus is on 'consistency in all things'. Beginning on the lunge allows Farouche to use her excess energy safely and avoid potential issues under saddle. In her ridden work, Ferdi asks Mike to vary the length of her neck and make small changes to the tempo within the gaits to increase her elasticity and balance. Trainer Ferdi says he could watch Farouche all day!
