Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire.
It is a grand passion.
It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that
his life will be radically changed. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man – Winston Churchill
Whoever said a horse was dumb, was dumb. – Will Rogers
Never say “Whoa!” in a tough spot. – Ken Follet (when asked for some sage words at age 90 and still riding)
