What are your favorite quotes for horsepeople and for life?
It ain't what we don't know that gets us into trouble. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.

The Way to Victory .
You are a great champion.
When you run the ground shakes,
the sky opens and mere mortals part...
Part the way to victory.
Where you will meet me in the winner’s circle,
And I’ll put a blanket of flowers on your back.

Her are a two of my favourite quotes from "Chicken Soup for the Horse Lovers Soul"!
There are times when you can trust a horse, times when you can't,
and times when you have to.
~anonymous
A horse gallops whith his lungs, Perseveres with his heart,
And wins with his character.

"Your job as riders is to first learn how to be in a balanced seat. Be upright in the saddle in all three gaits. Throw your shoulders back and sit upright like a star." --Robert Dover
These two, I can't locate the author (apologies & please add if you know)....
"You can lead a human to knowledge, but you can't make it think"
"I'm so busy I don't know if I just found a rope or lost my horse!"
And my life theme, lol & personal FAVE....

If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.
The one thing all famous authors, world-class athletes, business tycoons, singers, actors, and celebrated achievers in any field have in common is that they all began their journeys when they were none of these things.
Yet still, they began their journeys.
~Mike Dooley

Along those same lines, Wiola:
"If you talk about it, it's a dream, if you envision it, it's possible, but if you schedule it, it's real."
- Anthony Robbins
I borrowed this one from one of Heather Sansom's October FitTips, because I think it's an approach we all need to keep front and center, especially where our aspirations for our horses are concerned.
