words of wisdom

for new riders

Don’t chase your horse; he can run faster.  Walk slowly and speak softly.

If you are going to walk behind a horse, make sure he knows you are there.  Speak softly.

A horse can tell if you know what you are doing; and he can happily give you a hard time if you don’t.

A horse is an emotional creature.  Build a relationship with him.  If he likes you and trusts you he will give his very best for you.  You can’t do this instantly; it takes time.
