“Just one more time!”
Knowing when to quit is an art form.

When we are working on something new, or something we (or the horse) aren’t yet proficient at, it’s very tempting to want to keep pushing that can down the road.

Work ethic is extremely valuable. Without it, you won’t get far as a rider. You need the willingness to push a little bit - both yourself and the horse, to increase fitness, confidence, experience and more.

If we don’t stretch the rubber band, we never grow

But if we overstretch the rubber band, it snaps back.

It’s far better to get a better effort toward correct, than a hundred bad movements, pushing to perfect.

It’s far better to notice the effort in the right direction than to get greedy and lose all interest from the horse.

It’s far better to exercise muscles less intensely but more correctly, than to burn them out and create compensation.

As all things in riding require, a balance must be sought:

Between too much and not enough
Between working and accepting
Between appreciating and pushing

We have to find that new line every single day, every moment, and be careful not to let the green goblin of “he can do better…just one more” take over and rob the horse because of their good nature.

Gerd Heuschmann shared this and it's so true! When your basics are solid, the rest is easy (or at least easier).

Truth right here. Patience is so important. They are worth it.

In any dealings with a worried horse one statement holds true---“Patience isn’t patience if you are only patient when you feel like it.”

As in having a not so great day with a horse and giving it a pi**ed off yank in the mouth because “I’ve lost my patience with you!”

NOPE---You didn’t have patience to lose. You only had YOUR definition of patience.

And one yank in the mouth of an already anxious horse can undo days, even weeks of trust building. Reschooling is an attitude game, and it isn’t something that all riders have enough emotional control to take on.
