The value of short, thoughtful sessions and allowing your horse to move and process. ✅ Pad Damage: What’s Normal vs. Warranty Wendy Murdoch walks through real-life photos explaining what kind of wear and tear is totally normal, and what’s covered by warranty. 🧠 Fun Fact The very first time Wendy Murdoch used a Sure Foot Pad, she only timed the session for 15 seconds, and saw a major change in the horse! Sometimes, it only takes moments for big results. ⏱️ Timestamps & Chapters 00:00 Understanding horse behavior issues 04:16 Testing balance on different pads 07:33 Understanding balance and instability 11:40 Demonstrating stability and support 13:44 Improving rider balance techniques 18:09 Dos and don'ts for using SureFoot pads 22:16 Coping with traumatic memories 25:29 Using Sure Foot pads for training 26:49 Training horses to stand still 29:54 Taking pictures of horses on pads 33:16 Product warranty and damage policy 37:37 Trying new pads for horse 40:46 Improving product quality and durability 42:55 Introducing horses to training pads 48:20 Using SureFoot pads with horses 50:56 Using SureFoot Pads for horses 54:47 Discoveries with SureFoot for horses 56:14 Setting up Indiana webinar 🌟 What Else Does Wendy Offer?
