Following is an excerpt from Wendy's website outlining her background.

From: http://murdochmethod.com

Background
Wendy Murdoch has ridden since childhood in a variety of disciplines
including Hunters, Dressage, Eventing, and Reining. In 1984 while
working towards her PhD in Equine Biomechanics, Wendy incurred a
severe riding accident. The accident changed the course of her life
from theoretical study to applied biomechanics for both horse and
rider. As a result Wendy has been teaching internationally for over
18 years. Her goal is to make riding more enjoyable and fundamentally
simple by showing her students how to achieve what great riders do
naturally.
Students
Wendy's students range in disciplines from Dressage, Eventing,
Reining, Hunters, Jumpers and pleasure. Wendy works with all levels
of rider ability and age. The principles she teaches, while
fundamental to all riding are refined and specific in order to
benefit not only the average rider, but also riders at the top level
of competition. Wendy's thorough knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics
and teaching gives her a wide range of tools to assist each rider to
achieve their goals.
Certification and Education
Wendy holds a Master's Degree in Equine Reproductive Physiology from
the University of Kentucky (1986). Her background includes intensive
study with Linda Tellington-Jones, Founder of TEAM®; an
apprenticeship in 1992 with Sally Swift, Founder of Centered Riding®;
Dr. Joyce Harman, holistic veterinarian and noted authority on saddle
fitting; Bettina Drummond, the only authorized representative of the
Nuno Oliveira School in North America; Jon Zahourek, creator of
Zoologik® Equiken® Anatomy in Clay, system for learning anatomy; and
Dr. Hilary Clayton, recipient of the McPhail Chair at Michigan State
University to study biomechanics in dressage horses.
Wendy believes that continuing education is essential to achieving
her goals. Therefore in May 2005 she completed the 4-year
Feldenkrais® Method Practitioner Training and is now a certified
Feldenkrais Practitioner. The Feldenkrais Method provides Wendy with
more ways of presenting information to her students. She has
completed the Equiken®, Advanced Equiken®, Maniken® and Comparative
Anatomy courses, with Jon Zahourek, creator of Zoologik® Anatomy in
Clay Systems. In addition Wendy has organized and participated in two
courses with Dr. Hilary Clayton; The Anatomy, Conformation and Gaits
Workshop (2004) and The Dynamic Horse Seminar (2005). Wendy has
traveled to Europe to further her education by attending the Global
Dressage Forum (2004) in Tilburg, The Netherlands and had the
opportunity to work with Arthur Kottas-Heldenberg, Retired First
Chief Rider of the Spanish Riding School, considered the best
Dressage rider in Europe.
In Print
In addition to her teaching, Wendy takes time to write. Her articles
have appeared in numerous magazines including Dressage & CT, Equus,
Practical Horseman, The Trail Less Traveled, USDF Connections and
Eclectic Horseman. Her first book Simplify Your Riding been recently
released. Wendy is committed to making complicated riding concepts
easy to understand in common language.
