     :: Equine Facts

If training has not made a horse more beautiful, nobler in carriage, more attentive in his behavior, revealing pleasure in his own accomplishment...then he has not truly been schooled in dressage.
~Col. Handler

There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.
~Winston Churchill

Many people have sighed for the 'good old days' and regretted the 'passing of the horse,' but today, when only those who like horses own them, it is a far better time for horses.
~C.W. Anderson



No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.
~Winston Churchill

A horse which stops dead just before a jump and thus propels its rider into a graceful arc provides a splendid excuse for general merriment.
~Duke of Endindurgh

On horseback he seemed to require as many hands as a Hindu god, at least four for clutching the reins, and two more for patting the horse soothingly
on the neck.
~SAKI

Horse, thou art truly a creature without equal, for thou fliest without wings and conquerest without sword.
~The Koran

A man on a horse is spiritually as well as physically bigger than a man on foot.
~John Steinbeck

Certain comic effects can be achieved by a brand-new rider, especially a man who dresses like a fashion model and rides like a tailor.
~C.J.J. Mullen

Show me your horse and I will tell you who you are.
~Old English Saying

First, you must trust in yourself. Then you can also trust in the earth or gravity of a situation, and because of that, you can uplift yourself. At that point, your discipline becomes delightful rather than being an ordeal or a great demand. When you ride a horse, balance comes, not from freezing your legs to the saddle, but from learning to float with the movement of the horse as you ride. Each step is a dance, the rider's dance as well as the dance of the horse.
~Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, "Shambala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior"
