If you don’t look back at old photos—especially as a trainer—and think, “Wow, if only I knew then what I know now...” then you’re probably not progressing. Chances are, you're only as good now as you were then.
It’s okay to look back and cringe at a picture or two. That discomfort is growth. Be grateful for the tolerant horses who allowed you to learn through them. They helped shape the horseperson you are today.
Don’t let their sacrifice be in vain—honor it by continuing to learn, to grow, and to always strive to do better.
