Charles started riding as a child, always under expert supervision and instruction. His riding masters were educated during the golden age of equitation between 1900-1945. His teachers were the products of the finest riding institutions of the “inter bellum.” These included Vienna and Wienerneustadt in Austria, Hannover and Berlin in Germany, Pinerolo and Tordiquinto in Italy, and Hungary’s Orkeny. Pal Kemery, Jeno Kosa-Reznek, Imre Bodo and Geza Hazslinsky-Krull attended these institutions, competed with great successes and mentored Charles for years in an institutional setting.

Cross-country riding, jumping and dressage were melded into one comprehensive system of training, adhering to the classical tradition of riding theory and methodology. Diversification of activities, riding skills and the ability to improve any horse were emphasized in the academic training program. Charles de Kunffy was schooled with the strictest adherence to classical training traditions based on scholarship and a profound respect for the horse. He represents the unbroken heritage of classical horsemanship handed down from generation to generation without compromise.

Shawn Gannon (Balanced Riding) - took one horse ride at age 8 and the horses galloped home. He didn't ride another horse for 20 years. His next ride was at age 28 after he bought his first horse. Shawn took English riding lessons to learn how to ride and failed miserably and for the next 13 years, basically clinging to the horse by holding on. As an owner of a Dude Ranch by then, he knew he had to fix his horrible riding skills. Shawn experimented with every position he could think of and when he got in one position he knew wasn't even allowed, suddenly and without much effort he was in balance. When you're out of balance for 13 years you know when you find it!  For the last 14 years he has taught what he has learned to over 5000 riders as part of their vacation package on his Dude ranch. Most of these folks were "Dudes" who had never ridden or had ridden less than 20 times. With over 80% of them in balance their first day and within minutes. After riding just a few days they were riding as though they had been riding all their lives. Shawn believes he has had a unique opportunity to see and fix beginning riders' problems. He has also helped some of the more advanced riders that have come to visit the ranch as well, so it's not just for beginners.  The experienced riders had to UN-learn what they already knew. You'll find Shawn's complete Balanced Riding method will change your entire perception of riding, and after you try it, riding a horse in balance and without pain will become an everyday occurrence and lead to many happy trails for you!

Wendy Murdoch
Murdoch Method booth 2208, 2301

Wendy Murdoch (Balanced Horsemanship) - is an internationally recognized equestrian instructor and clinician for over 30 years, author of several books and DVDs, and creator of Ride Like A Natural® and the SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program™. She is one of the most skillful teachers ever encountered in any equestrian discipline. Wendy's desire to understand the function of both horse and human, curiosity and love of teaching capitalizes on the most current learning theories in order show riders how to exceed their own expectations.

In 1984, while attaining her master's degree in equine reproductive physiology Wendy suffered a severe riding accident. Her self-rehabilitation started a quest to understand and answer the question of how to ride pain free, using the body as it was designed. Wendy's uncanny ability to find and study with the best people in a variety of fields and her profound curiosity make her unique. Wendy combines her creative talents with her scientific training to break down larger concepts of riding into simple easy to do exercises for students of all ages, abilities and disciplines. Her ability to make learning enjoyable, engaging and fun through in-depth presentations both mounted and unmounted helps her students connect the dots and achieve their goals.

Her studies include apprenticeship with Sally Swift, extensive training with Linda Tellington-Jones, Dr. Joyce Harman, Jon Zahourek (Anatomy in Clay®) and Dr. Hilary Clayton. To help her guide students towards better function Wendy became a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner® and continues her study through MBS Academy and Dr. Feldenkrais' first assistant, Mia Segal. Her fascination with the mind/body connection between horse and rider has led her to explore courses outside the equine world and bring that information to her students. Her willingness to embrace new ideas led Wendy to develop the SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program, which allows horses to reprogram their own brain in order to feel more grounded, secure and confident in order to become a more willing partner. This innovative program is an extension of all the Wendy believes; we each have within us our own teacher that recognizes what is best for our own well-being. We simply need the options and opportunity to discover what we innately recognize and know.

Wendy writes articles for a wide variety of magazines and is a regular contributor to Eclectic Horseman Magazine.
