~Ride Like There's No Tomorrow~
A Dog looks up to a man,
A cat looks down on a man,
But a patient horse looks a man in the eye and sees him as an equal.
I Ride Like A Girl And I'm Proud Of It
The hardest thing about learning to ride is the ground!
It is the difficult horses that have the most to give you.
