Things I learned from a horse...


  • Sometimes it’s time to quit trotting and go for the canter.  Don’t let fear hold you back.
  • Set your goal and keep working at it.  If you had started 5 years ago it would be done by now.
  • You have to really work at it.  That may mean some extra training in a class that is out of your comfort zone. 
  • Having patient people (and horses) mentor you will help you reach your goals. 
  • Sometimes you’ve got to ride the difficult one.  It will stretch you and improve you.
  • Put a smile on someone’s face.  Lift their burden and make their day with your acts of kindness.
  • Be nice.  Sometime in your life the shoe will be on the other foot.
  • There are lots of opinions out there about how to do things…figure out what works in your situation.     
  • Be positive.  You can do it!
  • Cheerful, willing workers are appreciated.  Be one!    
  • Be humble enough to ask for help.
  • Ask questions.  Let people teach you by being teachable. 
  • Stay balanced. 
  • Think of your goal as an investment in your life. 
  • If you fall off get back on. 
  • Don’t be stubborn as a mule.
  • Sometimes it’s good to kick up your heels and feel your oats!
