Horsemanship

Fred was quoted as saying (paraphrasing), “I can teach them the steps. I need to teach them the steps. But just learning the steps does not make them a dancer.”

Like most children, I learned to tell lies quite early in life, because I learned to lie was one way of avoiding trouble.

Training

If I asked most people to draw a picture of a horse chances are they would draw a head attached to a neck, attached to a body, attached to four legs, and finally add a tail, ears, eyes, etc to their masterpiece.

It was from that time that I realized it was far more important to make changes in the riders than to make changes in the horses.
