A thought-provoking read.
By Jane Smiley
Most horses pass from one human to another - some horsemen and women are patient and forgiving, others are rigorous and demanding, others are cruel, others are ignorant.
Horses have to learn how to, at the minimum, walk, trot, canter, gallop, go on trails and maybe jump, to be treated by the vet, all with sense and good manners.
Talented Thoroughbreds must learn how to win races, and if they can't do that, they must learn how to negotiate courses and jump over strange obstacles without touching them, or do complicated dance like movements or control cattle or accommodate severely handicapped children and adults in therapy work.
Many horses learn all of these things in the course of a single lifetime. Besides this, they learn to understand and fit into the successive social systems of other horses they meet along the way.
A horse's life is rather like twenty years in foster care, or in and out of prison, while at the same time changing schools over and over and discovering that not only do the other students already have their own social groups, but that what you learned at the old school hasn't much application at the new one.
We do not require as much of any other species, including humans.
That horses frequently excel, that they exceed the expectations of their owners and trainers in such circumstances, is as much a testament to their intelligence and adaptability as to their relationship skills or their natural generosity or their inborn nature. That they sometimes manifest the same symptoms as abandoned orphans - distress, strange behaviors, anger, fear - is less surprising than that they usually don't.
No one expects a child, or even a dog to develop its intellectual capacities living in a box 23 hours a day and then doing controlled exercises the remaining one.
Mammal minds develop through social interaction and stimulation.
A horse that seems "stupid", "slow", "stubborn", etc. might just have not gotten the chance to learn!
Take care of your horses and treasure them.

Back in 1991, I obtained my very first Quarter Horse mare.
We had purchased a small property out at Baradine and inside the old house was an old gas/electric fridge that was no longer working.
We had a neighbour who had bought a QH filly that was a full sister to the horse I had bought for my daughter. I looked at this filly each time I drove past and liked her.
Anyway the neighbour heard about my gas fridge and offered to buy it, he asked me how much I wanted. I quickly told him that I would swap it for the filly. So I found myself to be the proud owner of my very first Quarter Horse.

She was the sort of horse that you could leave in the paddock for extended periods and then catch and ride just like it was yesterday that we rode.
I bred a few foals out of her, a 1st cross ASH filly, a paint c**t and one Q registered filly.
I never rode her while she was in foal so I would saddle her up when the foal was about 6 months old and teach the foal to lead off her.
So sometimes I may not have ridden her for 2 years and then I'd step on and she'd be perfect.

Now I have her daughter and I've bred two palomino c**ts out of her.
She has never been ridden by anyone but me.
The other day, I got her in after a 2 year break and she proved herself to be an amazing kids horse.
I'm pretty proud of her and her amazing temperament.

Getting to that time of year.........foals are due to start arriving in November and January.
Expecting 10 all up.
Had a complete muster, now we are trimming, drenching, spraying and separating.
All our pregnant mares into one paddock, all our 2 year olds into the big paddock to grow a bit and all our breakers into another and our upcoming sale yearlings into yet another.
Busy time.

“It’s absolutely mind boggling if you think about it.

Your horse gets absolutely nothing out of being competitive for you. Not a darn thing. Of course horses are bred for specific jobs, or they’re bred to be athletic to a certain degree. However, horses don’t wake up thinking about chasing cans, or cows, or flying over jumps.

They have no idea how much money is added to the pot. They have no idea that this is a qualifier. They have no idea that this is the short go.

And DESPITE us... DESPITE our nerves, our flaws, our incorrect ques, our huge emotions, they get the job done to their very best ability. Even when we fail them by letting our emotions get in the way, they come back and they try again. For US. Whoa. Let that sink in. If only we could all be so understanding.

To think of an animal that is forgiving and flexible enough to put up with the repetition of practice, the intense nerves of the rider, the stress of hauling and still meet you at the gate for scratches is MIND. BLOWING.

If you haven’t done so lately. Thank your horse.

If you’re successful, thank the horses that put you there and made you. Thank the horses that gave everything they had for you simply because you ASKED them to.

If you’re still on the journey to success, thank the horses that made you fall in love with your sport and who have helped give you the confidence to want to learn more and be better.

We can never stop learning as horsemen and horsewomen, and by continuing our education every horse in our future will be better off.

Next time you head to the arena leave your ego at the door and thank your horse!”
