Agricultural lesson #1

So for those that don't know much about Bovines ie: Cows/Bulls and even Bison this is for you.

If you are not sure where baby cows come from, here is a Cows nest. As you can see the eggs in this particular nest are all white. Now white eggs generally mean that the cow being born will either be a beef cow or a dairy cow that will only produce white milk. But if the eggs are brown (Which is more rare) you will end up with a cow that is used solely for the production of chocolate milk.

The more you know.

High horse prices are creating a gap between those who can afford horses that for one reason or another are considered “of high quality,” and more run of the mill horses in terms of athletic ability.

I think this can lead to the wrong assumption that a person who can’t afford the “better” horses is therefore also shut out from becoming an elite rider.

I consider an elite rider as one who, when you watch the person ride, seamlessly and harmoniously blends with the living breathing horse so that it is a blurred line between where one body ends and the other body begins----Like a Centaur.

Good riders are also sympathetic riders, not rough and forceful.

So, think this through, if you are so inclined. Let’s say that your goal is to be so physically attuned to the horses that you ride that the movements of your body mesh with the movements of the body of the horse. Let’s also have as a goal that your system of aids---communications---with your horse are more subtle, less forceful. Add education in correct and valid methods of training. Pretty big goals, I think.

OK, but now also think through this---Do you need elite horses to develop the physical skills of being able to be in harmony with a horse? Do you need elite horses to develop emotional skills like patience, empathy, kindness? Do you need elite horses to become better educated in classical training methods?

I don’t think you do. I think you need horses that are sound and sane enough to ride, yes, but fancy and elite, no.

Don’t confuse the two. There are brilliant riders riding brilliant horses. These are often the combinations that have the best competitive success.

But there are inept riders riding brilliant horses, just because they can afford them. And there are brilliant riders with nice, average horses. And if you can’t financially get access to an ongoing string of elite horses, you can still ride better that most of those who try to buy success with money rather than by working hard to perfect their physical skills, their emotional qualities, and their educational achievements.

I will put this another way---Yes, you may need elite horses to find success at the upper levels of COMPETITION. But, no, you don’t need elite horses to become an outstanding RIDER.

You can make all the excuses that you want about this truth, but in order to become a top rider, there are three things you better get:

1. You have to be able to ride like you are part of the horse.
2. You have to communicate your aids to the horse softly and harmoniously and effectively.
3. You have to become well educated in excellent training methods and general horsemanship.

And you can become all three of these, most likely, on the horses you already ride, with the instructor you already have. But you are going to have to do what elite athletes and top scholars have always had to do.

BUST YOUR ASS.

Lisa took the foals to Waverley Iowa for the fall sale. This little dude is the proud new owner of Harleys stud c**t Leo. The Filly sold as well. Both brought good money and are going to good homes. Another successful year!
