Neat history!

Napoleon Bonaparte's famous war horse, Marengo, was named after the Battle of Marengo in 1800, when the steed carried his rider to safety. Marengo also carried Napoleon from Paris to Moscow in 1812 - a 3,500-mile trip - and accompanied him during many battles, including at Austerlitz and Waterloo.

I love the newsletters that Solo Equine and Stephen Forbes are putting out….. todays was a tough read, they had a scary week! With a very close call with a wild fire and a farm evacuation. All horse owners worst fears. The photos are hard to look at. But BUT the community rallied and every one, person and horse is safe and back home.
This part of Stephen’s newsletter was particularly meaningful to me this morning! I wanted to share it:

QUOTE ABOUT DRESSAGE THAT'S NOT ABOUT DRESSAGE

"It’s a long road. So I’ve got to ask you. What kind of a teammate are you? Do you tell your teammate when they’re struggling that they suck? Do you tell a teammate that gave their best that they are a failure? Do you tell a teammate that shows up, does the work, and tries to get better that it’s not worth it? Do you tell your teammate that runs that they’re not a runner? Do you tell your teammate that does the easy runs and speed runs and long runs that they don’t look like a runner? Do you tell a teammate that had the courage to set a goal that they don’t have the guts to achieve it? When your teammate is hurting do you tell them it’s because they are soft? When your teammate is nervous do you tell them they are cowards? No. You don’t. You won’t. You’d never be so mean to a teammate. You’d never be so cruel to someone you care about. But you’ll say those things to yourself. You'll berate and beat down, curse and humiliate yourself out there on those runs. Stop. Next time, when you need a teammate… be the teammate you need. Be the teammate you’d hope someone you cared about had. Because it’s a long road we’re on. And you’re the one teammate that you’ll run with forever. And no one runs their best when they’re running with a jerk."

- Chris Bennett on Running.
