Just a few quotes about horses....just a few.

**taelesean** · 06-19-2006, 10:44 AM

Alright, its probably most of them!

Life is a beast, just get on and ride.

Obstacles are those frightning things you see when you take your eyes
off the goal.

The more metal in the mouth of the horse, the less knowlegde in the
mind of the rider.

The only real way to fly, is on the back of an airborn horse.

I spent most of my life riding horses, the rest I just wasted.

Is it the feel of their body as i hug their long neck,
Or the smell only a horse has i cannot forget.
Is it the look in their eyes as the contently rest
No, it's just being around them I like the best.

An English horse has grace and beauty, a western horse has guts and
speed, but my horse has it all.

A Dog looks up to a man,
A Cat looks down on a man,
But a patient horse looks a man in the eye and sees him as an equal.

Cowgirl: A better-looking cowboy with brains

When riding my horse I no longer have my heart in my chest, but
between my knees.

A good rider can hear his horse speak to him.
A great rider can hear his horse whisper.
But a bad rider won't hear his horse even if it screams at him!

In my opinion a horse is the pet to have. 1100 lbs of raw power,
muscle and sweat between your legs. It's something you just can't get
from a pet hamster!

What's scarier when mad, a 200 lbs football player or a 1200 lbs mare?

Riding is a real sport, with real althetes.

Grooming: the process by which the dirt on the horse is transferred
to the groom.

The Joy of horses is not the riding, jumping, racing,showing, or
grooming, but of owning!

The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.

A horse is like a best friend. They`re always there to nuzzle you and
make your life a better place.

The hardest thing about learning to ride is the ground!

I love my horse from hoof to head,
From head to hoof and tail to mane.
I love my horse as I have said,
From head to hoof and back again.

When I'm galloping my horse in the feild i see a girl in a car drive
by. I think to myself, if i was that girl watching me, I'd wish i was
me.

Horse... If God made anything more beautiful he kept it for himself!

If god had created men to walk, he would have given us 4 legs.
Instead he gave us 2, one for either side of a horse.

How to ride a horse:
Step One - Mount the horse.
Step Two - Stay mounted ...

All horses deserve, at least once in their lives, to be loved by a
little girl.

Riding is not a sport, it is a passion. If you do not share the
passion, you do not know the sport, and therefore are wasting your
time.

Whoever said that money cannot buy happiness didn't know where to buy
a horse.

Jumping is just dressage with speed bumps!

Here is one little girl who would rather clean a stall than her own
room...
Here is one little girl who would rather wear chaps than a party
dress...
Here is one little girl who would rather go to the barn than the
mall...

Give me food and drink; and care for me. And when the day's work is
done, shelter me. Give me a clean bed and leave me not too small a
place in the stable. Talk to me, for your voice often takes the place
of reins; be good to me and I shall serve you more gladly and love
you. Don't tear at the reins. Don't reach for your crop when we come
to a hill; don't beat me or hit me if I misunderstand. Don't think me
disobedient if I fail your will; perhaps there is something wrong
with my harness or my hooves. A bad tooth-you know how that hurts.
Don't tether me too tight and don't crop my tail, my only weapon
against mosquitoes and flies. Let me ask this of you in the name of
Him who was born in the stable. And when the time comes, Dear Master,
when I am no longer of use to you, don't let me starve, or freeze,
nor sell me. Don't give me to a stranger who works me slowly to death
and feeds me not; but be kind and prepare me for a quick and merciful
end. God will reward you for it, now, and through eternity. And I
shall come to you, always...... running.

Every time you ride, your either teaching or un-teaching your horse.

One man's wrong lead is another man's counter-canter.

You cannot train a horse with shouts and expect it to obey a whisper.

How do you catch a loose horse?
Make a noise like a carrot.

Ask not what your horse can do for you - Ask what you can do for your
horse.

If you are a rider, the number one thing to do is ... marry money!

Love means attention, which means looking after the things we love.
We call this stable management.

It is the difficult horses that have the most to give you.

If a horse stands on you its because your in the way.

A stubborn horse walks behind you, an impatient horse walks in front
of you, but a noble companion walks beside you.

There are only two emotions that belong in the saddle; one is a sense
of humour and the other is patience.

My horse is very quick. Sometimes he's so quick he leaves me behind.

I live in a house but my home is in the stable.

You can lead your horse to water, but you can't stop him pulling you
away!!!

Correction does much for the horse, but encouragement does more.

A horse is an angel without wings.

You can love a horse and ride it and a horse can love you and squash
you.

Poverty is another word for owning a horse...

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink," is an
old saying that is not exacly true, because anybody that's ever been
around horses would know if the horse didn't want to go to water then
it wouldn't!!

A dog may be man's best friend...But the horse wrote history.

A horse is an animal not a machine and is only as good as it's rider.

Jumping: It's just doing flat-work in the air.

When riding a horse we leave our fear, troubles, and sadness behind
on the ground.

And on the seventh day ... god went riding!

Horses give us the wings we lack.

Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet.

Do not underestimate a horse's pride, or he will dent yours.

If horses were wishes, We'd all own stables!

For the wonderful brain of man
However mighty its force
Had never achieved its lordly plan
Without the aid of a horse.

No heaven can heaven be, if a horse isn't there to welcome me.

You can have everything I own, But stay away from my horse.

Riding isn't the matter of life or death. It's more important than
that!

Why go over this jump when there is a perfectly good path around it?

You can lead a horse to water but you can't stop him from rolling in
it.

If you don't know where your'e going, the horse will decide for you.

My new horse was sold to me as a real gentleman to ride. He is, when
we have to go over a fence he insists on ladies first!!!

The horse stopped with a jerk, and the jerk fell off.

You don't have to go to the stables and ride EVERY day, just the ones
that end in "y"

Don't count your ribbons before the show starts.

Even the greenest horse has something to teach the wisest rider.

Nothing on four legs is quicker than a horse heading back to the
barn.

You show me someone that doesn't like horses and I'll show you
someone who can't ride.

I don't care who tells me to, I'm not going to die until someone
proves to me that there are horses in Heaven.

Who among us has not as a child asked Sants Clause to bring us a pony
on Christmas day?

If I had a dime for every time that I thought of a horse's beauty I'd
have enough to buy one.

Unless you are the lead horse the view is always the same.

The world is best viewed through the ears of a horse.

All horseback riding is great until you go to a $40 show for a 75c
ribbon!

Horses love carrots. Does that make them really big rabbits?

He knows when you are happy, he knows when you are proud, he also
knows when you have a carrot.

The Way to Heaven is on Horseback.

There comes a point in every rider's life when he wonders if it's all
worth it. Then one look at the horse, and he realizes - it is.

What a set of quotes! Some made me laugh, some brought a tear to my eye ... this passion for horses has been sometimes referred to as a sickness, but if so, I don't want to be well! Here's one more to add to the list...

"My horse has taught my heart to soar and my soul to fly. And when I thought I couldn't do any more, my horse taught me to believe in myself. And when I learned that, it was then that he believed in me, and joined me on my flight."

Thank you, you have a way of putting my life in perspective when I need it most!
