- Other: Murphy is impressive. His jumping is astounding, maybe the best of any horse at Red Jewel Farms (with the exception of perhaps Justin). Murphy is a descendant of Secratariat. (He's like his great grand nephew or something). Murphy used to be a school horse, then he started getting leased frequently, and now he's only used privately for shows. His great jumps keep him in the show jumping ring instead of hunter/jumper. But he is shown as a hunter/jumper whenever there is a chance because he has wonderful form and style. And his trot: he looks like he's floating above the ground. (Oh, and here's an interesting little fact: Murphy spooks on cross ties: he's already ripped down a few.)
