One always have choices….

“Athlete: Coach, I need to ask you something. Is it really so bad if I have a drink with my friends? Sometimes it feels like everyone else is having fun except me.

Coach: You can have a drink, if you choose. No one will stop you.

Athlete: And what about smoking, just every now and then? Just to feel free for a moment.

Coach: You can do that too. This is your life, not mine.

Athlete: Coach, sometimes I just want to be like everyone else. Go to parties, stay out all night, laugh, and not worry about tomorrow. Can I do that?

Coach: Absolutely. No one can take those moments away from you. The world is full of options.

Athlete: And if I want to go even further, to just escape get high, live wild, forget all the pressure for a night? Can I?

Coach: Yes. All of that is within your reach. You can choose any path you want.

Athlete: Then why does it feel like I can’t have both? Why do I feel this ache in my chest, like something has to give?

Coach: Because, deep down, you know the truth. You can have anything, but you can’t have everything. Every great dream demands something from you. You are free to enjoy every moment, every temptation, every thrill but you are not free from the cost. You cannot expect to show up on race day with the body, the mind, the spirit of a champion if you are not willing to sacrifice what others are not. Every late night, every shortcut, every easy decision chips away at your potential.

Everything is permitted, but not everything is worthwhile.

So you must choose. What means more to you? A fleeting night or a lifelong dream? The comfort of now, or the pride of forever? You cannot serve two masters.

Every runner stands at this crossroads. The easy road is wide, full of laughter and distractions. The hard road is narrow, but it leads to places most will never see. The finish line you dream of only you can decide if it’s worth the sacrifice.

You choose how far to go. You choose whether you will look back with pride, or with regret. Only you can decide what your dreams are worth.

That’s the cost. And only you can pay it.”

This is a huge issue in all horse sales. The perfect horse rarely exists.

A vet can only state physical findings. (Also behaviour at the time they are with the horse. Some horses are more sensitive to new people and different handling, so add that to the mix)
They cannot guarantee, with certainty, future abilities or healh. They can make some predictions.

Bottom line, buying is on the buyer, maybe with help from an agent/trainer. If you want perfect, you cannot make that horse more perfect. Perfect, worked on/with, only leads one way……
When you’ve reached the top of the ladder there is only one way to go.

Go for what will work for you, within what you want to realistically accomplish, with whatever imperfections there might be.

🐎 Rushing Can Cost You Dearly.

This is an X-ray of an almost two-year-old horse. It’s that time of year when many owners are excited to send their young horses off to a trainer to get started under saddle. But this story is a reminder of why patience matters.

This c**t will turn two in June. We sent his X-rays to university specialists — and the answer was clear: he’s not ready. The growth plates in his knees are still open. He needs another 10–12 months before he’ll be physically mature enough to handle consistent training.

❗Starting too early isn’t an advantage — it can lead to serious consequences like osteoarthritis, chronic lameness, and a lifetime of pain.

👣 If you have any doubts — get the X-rays. Give your horse time to grow strong. A true horseman doesn’t chase fast results — they build a future with care and respect.

🤍 Patience is also love.

The current investigation indicated at least one or more employees of the clinic were reusing needles or syringes to draw up and flush IV catheters with heparinized saline in the ICU as a routine procedure which caused repeated instances of blood contamination into the bottles: https://tinyurl.com/3yxsx42t
