Horses need horsemen. It's that simple. What level rider is this horse suitable for? The best one she can get, the best horseman that's willing to buy her. The horse will only ever be as good as the rider. It doesn't matter if it's trained to jump hoops of fire, you're gonna bring it down to your level in no time. Your kid doesn't need a $15,000 horse if they haven't already had $15,000 worth of lessons. You can't buy a violin that will gift you the skill of playing. It's the same for horses. There is no magic horse, only a love for the animal, and a commitment to learning 💙

People can be unfair and demanding of the horse and end up missing the forest for the trees. "I want a horse that rides out alone!!" well guess what, you better be ready to spend a year developing that relationship, that bond, that trust, she's not a bike, you can't buy trust.

"I want a horse that can sit and be the same after time off" well friend, this is a commitment to a relationship, not a classic car you take out of the garage twice a year. You can't buy what your looking for.

"I want a horse my kids can ride" you better be ready to teach your kids how to be horseman, because if the horse has to do it, you'll likely see the inside of an ambulance.

You can't buy trust, you cannot buy what comes with building a relationship with an animal over years of dedication.♥️♥️

The GOAT 👏🏻👏🏻

Front page of British Show Jumping magazine.

'When I was young I spent my time at shows watching those in higher classes, watching what they did, how many strides they took, how they warmed up. Now I see the next generations of jumpers spending their down time at shows with their head in their phones, missing out on valuable lessons.
Remember this, greatness will not come to you, seek it out, be hungry to learn. Those at the top never stop learning from their peers'.

Very well said Mr John Whitaker! 🇬🇧 you're a proper role model and a true Hero👏
Long May It Rein!

Still digesting all of the moments of wisdom from Helena Stormanns in the latest Equestrian Voices episode. And, a reminder that good jumping comes from excellent flatwork!

Here are our five favorite quotes from the episode:

“If I see a partnership have 10 rounds with 4 faults, I know they’re on the verge of something spectacular.”

“I think once you really get into flatwork, you realize it’s the biggest tool in your box, and you get addicted to it.”

“Whatever happens in our sport, the horses are not at fault, the people are at fault. Once (a trainer or rider) realizes this, they must look to themselves for the mistake and not blame the horse. That’s my biggest belief: It’s not the horse’s fault.”

“I compare all horses to people… They have their own character, and they have their own likes and dislikes. One needs to sit a little longer on his homework, and one will be done early because he’s a quick learner.”

“It takes a year for a new partnership to form. So if you buy a horse today, and you want to be competitive tomorrow, I’m sorry, but you’re going to struggle.”
