It's not 3 years until next month, but I'm going to be super busy the next few weeks/months so I thought I would edit this and upload it now :)
Well.
When I first saw Murphy 3 years ago I would never have dreamed he would turn out how he did! He was not very pretty, clean or talented and I really only got him because i wanted ANY horse after waiting for 13 years. I had been looking for my own horse my whole life and I was just so excited to have him I didn't even think about wether he would be good or not! He was scared of his own shadow and didn't even know how to walk on a lead rope. You couldn't even pet him. It was so frustrating finally having a horse after all those years and not even being able to pet him without it being a big deal.
He fought me at every turn for the first few months and I came so close to giving up because he was scaring me and just didn't want to work with me. But then, something clicked. We started to build a friendship, and gradually he started wanting to do what I asked. I learned about asking instead of telling, and Murphy's kind attitude made me cry on many occasions as he taught me that I could get him to do things by being gentle and asking nicely instead of forcing. He has literally taught me so much and made me a better, kinder rider.
It's been a hard journey with lots of ups and downs, but I really love this little horse with all my heart and can't wait to see what another year brings :) He really is a perfect disaster :] he's been worth all the battles! It's amazing for me to look back and see how we have both grown together and learned so much from each other!
I would love this video to get a lot of views so every like/comment/favourite/share means the absolute world to me :)
Thanks so much for Ally for helping with the texture/colour!
p.s. i frequently get asked why he was so dirty and why I didn't clean him. I got Murphy in february and he was caked in mud with a winter coat that wasn't budging. He was terrified of being petted, so it was very difficult to groom him properly. Trying to get the muck out was actually hurting him it was so caked in. So I had to do it gradually over time and wait for his winter coat to fall out eventually.
Credit for the song goes to the amazing Marianas Trench, the best band ever!

I wached this video almost 3 years ago and I still feel so emotional everytime I come across and re-watch it.
Same xx
same!
It's so cute because the more mud that falls off the more her improves and I just love that even if it isn't a legit connection.
So glad to hear you found that by asking instead of forcing this beautiful horse you achieved more goals. I just wish all horse people would understand that horses never need to be hit, whipped or even yelled at. Instead they need only love and a kind and gentle hand always asking permission to ride them or to jump them or to even groom them. Once a horse trusts that you will never hurt them they are willing to do anything for you. Natural horsemanship is the only way. I wish all horse people would study natural horsemanship.
Yeah i think so too :) my little boy is not easy too
Yes!
songs like this, with a video of horses in rough times makes a tear fall down my cheek...
I LOVE this. There are so many "journey" videos on here and most of them are just crap where people are over exaggerating how "bad" their horses are ect to make them look better, but I am so genuinely impressed by this one. He's awesome! I'd never of thought he could jump like that from the first few videos (not meaning to sound snobby or anything!) but he's awesome
i soo agree!!your horse is beautiful and you two together are genially amazing!!
I respect you so much for what you have done with him. You will go far in the horse world.
I watched this video about 2 years ago... It still makes my heart melt as much as it did the first time I watched it...
You Know There Is A True Bond Of Trust And Love Between You And Your Horse When You Can Jump Bareback Without Holding Anything
This is huge how it has changed!
I thought you got Murphy as a pretty good horse, done things, and that he was a little experienced! Not this! You both went through so many things, but you went through them together! You never gave up on him, even when he was scared of something silly. You stuck with him, and you have turned him into the confident, amazingly gorgeous horse he is today!
You deserve this horse, and he deserves you too! Awesome job!
This just proves how amazing horses are.
i was amazed the amount of times he bucked you kept with him...... now look at him he is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so amazing! He jumps so amazing!
You've come so far with him!
I'm a 12 year old girl who is inspired by people lyk u who take horses in and help and heal them. god bless you!
I come back and watch this every now and then. i see comments i left from both 7 and 8 years ago.
truly love it
This is so inspiring. Wow, thanks for sharing :)
Beautiful story ♡
I laughed out load when I saw him trotting proudly around in his bright rainbow rug. I love it
the horse is lucky to have such a kind owner who takes good care of it.
hes so healthy now.
Great!!
Only a true equestrian can bring out the confidence in a horse. And you did it!!!
but you came along and found him and gave him a chance at a new and better life. and i just want to say thank you for saving such an amazing animal. and he will love you forever for saving his life.
He is lovely you two make a perfect pair (sorry for my english)
Hi amazing video was just wondering what the name of the song that you used and who is it by ?
I believe it's Ever After by Marianas Trench
Sian Halliday it's called ever after by marianas trench💝
This is a wonderful example of a perfect friendship. It is only apparent that both of you enjoy being together. Murphy loves his life now and is now able to relax and be himself. He loves to play! Kudos to both of you!
Murphy is the most beautiful horse!!
Pore Murphy
You've had a bad star in life haven't you mate
Gave me goose bumps.... beautiful.
I have watched all your videos here on TH-cam, I think you have done an amazing job with young Murphy. I admire your patients. I love to listen to you and your friend laughing when you are thrown into a set of jumps!! I was worried about you, but at the same time you make me smile😊
I too have a young coloured mare, I have had her since she was 1, She is now 4, and I believe we have a special relationship together. I am disabled, and spend most of my time with her and my retired cob Buster. Keep sending the videos. I love watching you guys.xXx. Sarah

aww i cried my eyes out at this! very lucky horse and a very lucky girl!
His extension in his trot..... is just beautiful! You have done such a good job with him
I watch this video everyday because I want to start training horses and whenever I think "Im not smart enough, I'm not strong enough... I'm just not good enough." This video always gives me hope because look at what you did for him. He went from a "dangerous", scared, unhanded horse to a safe, rideable, lovable companion. Just by watching this it tells me that I can do this no matter how smart, strong, or old I am. Thank you so much because without you, I would have given up a long time ago.
thank you for fighting for Murphy, people like you keep my faith in humanity alive :)
This video is so beautiful. It really shows what love and patience can do. Your horse is truly beautiful as are you. You are a fantastic rider. I hope you have many more fantastic years.
Such a brave and talented rider
Wow!! You two are proof of what love, kindness, gentleness, loyalty and dedication can do. You've turned his life around! You must be (and should be) so proud ;)
It's amazing how far he's come!
This always brings me close to tears as "oh.. there you are"
wow, speechless. Gave me chills so good is the bond between you and your horse. A true inspiration
Omg.. this video shows what a relationship between you and Murphy is.. simply amazing..
No matter how many times I watch this video I still love it and well done
Gave me chills...well, not only is this one of my favorite songs, but seeing how far Murphy has come...it just gives me a lot of hope for my horse, who I am told to sell quite often...congratulations on 3 years, you both look absolutely amazing!
Wow, cant stop watching this, your an amazing rider even if you 'rise to high' look at how youve transformed murphy!
I know this videos old but it literally brought me to tears how kind you are to save a horse in such a state and not give up and i highly respect you for that.
What an awesome journey! You two ROCK!!!!
You did wonders with this horse.. you should be so unbelievably proud!
Hes so lucky he got you as an owner.
Dont even want to imagine where he would of ended up if you didn't come to his rescue.
Look at him now.. you made him like this.. you gave him another chance.
Because you didnt give up on him.. he is here on earth, happy, healthy and loved.
So thank you for having faith, and giving faith to others to do the same x
This made me cry. Congratulations and I hope for you to be happy forever. You deserve it❤️
Stunning, just stunning!
Hes such a powerful horse...beautiful!! you two will go far!!!
I'm not even lying when i say when i first watched this it made me cry. The bond you have with him is unreal and it shows true horsemanship, and I think i speak for everyone when i say this :)
That blanket is fabulous.
Amazing. Thats the only word to describe it. Wow
I came to this via a suggested video of you and your friend with Murphy and her horse. This video followed straight after and I was absolutely blown away by where Murphy started. What you two have achieved together is just amazing.
He is an AMAZING jumper!
i can relate ! And just seeing the change in your buddy. They dont even have to tell you they love you xx
in 3 years he has improved miles!!! your so talented. both of you xx
You should be proud of yourself. its lovely to see someone make the effort and not give up! shows hard work and dedication works. you produced a gorgeous horse.
Because you never gave up on that horse he is safe, cared for, and beautiful! You did a wonderful job working with him! He knows he was rescued and I can see it in his eyes when he looks at you. You are an amazing rider! Never stop dreaming and you both will go so far! Thank you for sharing this video! :D
you guys have gotten so far in your bond and relationship. hes is gorgeous and you guys were meant to be.
People like actually respect u I brought a young unbacked pony and they are both little treasures so well done u xxxx
I have to say your a beautiful rider and you really show people what riding's all about. Riding, feeling free and letting the bad experiences teach you and your horse things that have made your bond even stronger. When you saw this horse you truly must have seen all good and a future among all. You have inspired many to become and achieve your one and only dream which truly would have all been hidden inside such a wonderfully talented horse you now call your own. Please continue being amazing and being the best horse riding role model on TH-cam.
