"The horse stopped with a jerk and the jerk fell off." "There is something about riding down the street on a prancing horse that makes you feel like something, even when you ain't a thing" -Will Rogers "Western riding is serious all right. True, a million cowboy films have told us that it is all about yeeha-ing and heading them off at the pass, but the fact is that serious horse people are serious horse people the world over, whether they wear white jods and pearl earrings or blue jeans and a cowboy hat." "I want my horse to be my partner. To me that means someone who helpes me, who isn't a nuisance, and who makes my job easier. Someone who I can trust and who trusts me; someone I don't have to force to do something." -John Lyons "Imagination is more valuable than knowledge." "The hooves of a horse! Oh! Witching and sweet is the music earth steals from the iron-shod feet;no wisper of love; no trilling of bird, can stir me as the hooves of the horse have stirred." -Will H. Ogilville "Horse sense is what horses have that makes them not bet on people." -W.C. Fields "My goal is to leave the world a better place, for horses and people, than I found it." -Monty Roberts "There's nothing like the first horse back ride to make a person feel better off." -Herbert V. Prochonow "Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them printing their proud hooves i' the receiving earth..." "For the wonderful brain of man, however mighty its force, had never achieved its plans without the aid of the horse." "A gentle hand makes a gentle horse" "I never play horseshoes 'cause Mother taught us not to throw our clothes around." -Mr. Ed |
