I am presently in Minnesota, USA and have been working with my friend Ellen Kealey - horse trainer extraordinaire - for a few days. Yesterday I was coaching on Ellen with her mare, Piper. While working on one particular sticky spot in the mare I said…
“Working a horse is all about getting them ready for tomorrow. It’s not about getting them perfect today.”
I believe this is a very important truism we all need to keep in mind in every ride. It is never not true.
