Love this! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
little thought for the day.
A good rider can sit on a mess and make it look serviceable.
A bad rider can climb on a finished horse and turn it into a train wreck.
When a good rider gets on and the horse suddenly:
• Stops “being crazy”
• Finds the brakes
• Loses the attitude
• Magically behaves
That’s not a miracle. That’s skill.
If your horse is “hot,” “lazy,” “stubborn,” and “confused”
but only when you ride it…Here's some bad news: it’s probably you, not the horse.
Horses don’t need louder legs, harsher hands, bigger bits or more gadgets.
They deserve: timing, balance, a good seat and consistency.
A good rider fixes problems quietly.
A bad rider creates them loudly, then blames the horse.
A good rider never stops learning, riding with others and gaining more tools.
A bad rider creates a confused and frightened horse, doesn't accept their own role in the issues and thinks they are above learning more.
