*Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.
*To God I speak Spanish, to women Italian, to men French, and to my horse - German.
*Riding is a partnership. The horse lends you his strength, speed and grace, which are greater than yours. For your part you give him your guidance, intelligence and understanding, which are greater than his. Together you can achieve a richness that alone neither can.
What do we, as a nation, care about books? How much do you think we spend altogether on our libraries, public or private, as compared with what we spend on our horses?
*A proof that the horse enjoys running ios that when he has got loose he never moves at a walk, but runs. It is in his nature to enjoy it, unless he is obliged to run an excessive distance. Neither horse nor man likes anything in the world that is excessive.
*You can't have perfect horses any more than you can have perfect men, or perfect women. You put up with bad teeth, or big feet, - or sometimes with the devil of a voice. But a man when he wants a horse won't put up with anything! Therefore those who've got horses to sell must lie.
*Four things greater than all things are - Women and Horses, and Power and War.
*A horse is the projection of people's dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.
*There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.
*The sight of that pony did something to me I've never quite been able to explain. he was more than tremendous strength and speed and beauty of motion. He set me dreaming.
*In riding a horse we borrow freedom.
*A canter is a cure for every evil.
*The air of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.
*God forbid that I should go to any heaven where there are no horses.
*We have almost forgotten how strange a thing it is that so huge and powerful and intelligent an animal as a horse should allow another, and far more feeble animal, to ride upon its back.
*A horse is worth more than riches.
*Gipsy gold does not chink and glitter. It gleams in the sun and neighs in the dark.
*The horse is God's gift to mankind.
*Riding turns "I wish" into "I can."
*There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.
*The rhythm of the ride carries them on and on, and she knew that the horse was as eager as she, as much in love with the speed and air and freedom.
*A good horse and a good rider are only so in mutual trust.
*That hoss wasn't built to tread the earth, He took natural to the air, And every time he went aloft, He tried to leave me there.
*It takes a good deal of physical courage to ride a horse. This however, I have. I get it at about forty cents a flask, and take it as required.
*A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle.
*I prefer a bike to a horse. The brakes are more easily checked.
*You can tell a horse owner by the interior of their car. Boots, mud, pony nuts, straw, items of tack and a screwed-up waxed jacket of incredible antiquity. There is normally a top layer of children and dogs.
*Small children are convinced that ponies deserve to see the inside of the house.
*The child who ran weeping to you with a cut finger is now brought home, smiling gamely, with a broken collar-bone and incredible contusions - "It wasn't Jezebel's fault, Dad."
*The daughter who won't lift a finger in the house is the same child who cycles madly off in the pouring rain to spend all morning mucking out a stable.
*A horse can lend its rider the speed and strength he or she lacks - but the rider who is wise remembers it is no more than a loan.
*Horses do change, you know; a lot of the ponies really give the able-bodied grooms a hard time, but if you put a disabled child or adult on their back they're as gentle as lambs. I don't know what it is, they seem to sense something.
*To be loved by a horse, or by any animal, should fill us with awe - for we have not deserved it.
*If you have it, it is for life. It is a disease for which there is no cure. You will go on riding even after they have to haul you onto a comfortable wise old cob, with feet like inverted buckets and a back like a fireside chair.
