Whats the best piece of advice you have ever received from an older person about you and your horse
an old cowboy told me when I was 13 that anyone who says that they know everything about horses really know nothing at all. Because a good horseperson will learn something new every day.
Through life...I have learned that he is right. Every day I have ever been around a horse...I have learned something new.
My first riding lesson consited of my father putting me on a horse and saying, "Don't fall off, it hurts!" Best and most time tested advice I ever recieved.
But...won't I need a helmet? The cowboy old man person says "So, you planning on falling off?" I liked that guy he didn't have many rules lol.
"Just get back on, no matter what" after falling off from my trainer when i was little.
My instructor tells me not to 'hang up the phone on my horse' meaning, when we get to the jumps and are going over them, not to stop giving aids to the horse and to keep contact even if we are doing good. The best and most memorible advice I'll always remeber. Another thing I won't forget is 'the linda' My instructor always rides with us when giving lessons and some of her actions are quite funny when she is showing up what we are doing wrong and what we are doing right!
i once heard my instructor tell someone to "stop flapping your arms like a chicken or you'll fly away".
