Farida Khan horse trainer good or bad?

[Thomas Hickey]

Apparently not there is a lot of talk of her being from different countries and more then one person.

Oh, don't know. Ok just looked it up on Facebook, she has a place in Napel, where she gives lessons to people.

I have just googled a couple of her videos, and frankly I am sickened. First off I understand there are problem horses that you have to use whip and spur. Shoot I had a horse once that didnt go faster then a walk and needed either a whip or a spur. Though, was never to that extreme, just a slight pressure with a spur or a light tap once she went.
With this trainer I see her tight reins, and not even giving any pressure in the legs to go before give a good hard whip. Due to the tight reins when she whips, she pulls the horses head and it turns with it and its not where she wants to go. So she kicks

There is no need for this type of working and is completely outdated method. My old girl Moose would dance around while you tried to put your foot in the other stirrup, and you just pull the reins back and say stop and she froze. No hitting involved, no jerking of the reins, just tightening. After that she would do anything to please you.

Disgusting, horrible, appauling, I saw this this morning and feel like I'm going to vomit
She should never have access to another horse or animal again, people who hurt animals commonly move right onto people, this woman is obviously a sociopath and needs to be stopped.

I can only tell you that i would NEVER let her anywhere near any of my horses, I am a breeder and i back the foals when they are 3 years old or in some cases older it the youngster needs some more time to mentally mature. I believe that using a whip on any horse only leads to having unwilling horses who will sooner kick you than let you ride them. My own personal horse has a background of abuse from before he came into my care, i will never be able to show him because of the scars he bears on his sides ans rump due to some very bad backing techniques.
I try my best to be as fair and kind to my horses as i can and i would hate to think that anything i do with them causes them pain or suffering, my horses are like an extended family, everyone of them is an individual with things they like and things they don't.
If i saw anyone mistreating them i would have them removed from the farm with help from the large and very good farm dogs.

Horses (and all animals) have felings and should be treated with the utmost respect, when you get on a horse, you are trusting him to look after you, an animal the size of a horse could easily squash you and seriously injure or even kill you. It is the trust between a horse and rider which keeps you safe.

I completely agree with you.

Sounds horrible , anyone have the link to her facebook? I can not seam to find it.

She's just sick, disgusting, cruel, no heart, stupid woman. I read her comments and she says awful things and the worst part is every one agrees with her, wants to ride like her, think she is great ect. In her videos she only whips them and the horses hate it, in every picture and video she has a whip and in most of the pictures her whip is in the air going doing for a painful hit

[eventing.]

I looked at the horrible pictures. Most people were saying that she was a good rider but I totally disagree. But here is one or the comments I saw.


I don't like the color of the horse...Perhaps red color would be better...

Farida Khan hey he is my oldest stallion and i ride him quite often

I mean you could change color by whipping severely...

Farida Khan he does bleed sometime when i kick him too hard on some given day, but you could see him soaked in foam most of the time due to extensive hard riding

this is not riding, this is torture ------this person knows what she is doing is horrible but why not every one else who is complementing her.

Here is another post from that horse abuser.

It depends person to person. I really dont enjoy making the horse work the way he wants. Yes i do understand without whpping and spurring he can work and give the enjoyment. But despite his best performance i use my whips constantly and keep kicking him hard so that he knows who is the master. I am sorry but i just cannot astride a horse and not use the whips and kicks as they are main tool as far as riding comes. I teach my students too to force and use full use of whips and demand the best out of the horse.
