“Select your trainers carefully. Observe how the horses interact with them.
Watch how the most decorated horse in the barn is treated. Watch how the least quality horse in the barn is treated, because EVERY horse deserves to think it’s a champion at the end of the day.
Look at the workouts, attitudes, and relationships between the trainer and their strongest riders. Look at the workouts, attitudes & relationship between the trainer and their most limited riders.
How do they treat their team members? Does their staff like them? Are the other clients happy? What dreams is your trainer chasing?
Choose a trainer that lives the values that matter to you. Choose wisely, and trust the process.
Not every horse will be a grand champion. Not every lesson horse will be a walk in the park. Not every rider will win the roses. Not every ride will be easy. Not every prospect will work out. The challenges ahead are inevitable.
Spend your time and money to be with a team that you believe in, a team that has your best interest at heart and is honest with you as they help you and/or your horse stride towards greatness- whatever it is you define as such.
Select your trainers carefully- and give it your best shot. Greatness isn’t common; but it certainly doesn’t occur unless the trainers, clients and horses are all giving it their best shot.” —Unknown ❤️
