I'll start:

Great riders are not great because of their talent; they are great because of their passion

Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyways

Somewhere behind the athlete you've become, and the hours of practice, and the coaches who pushed you, is the little girl who fell in love with the sport, and never looked back. Ride for her.

Throw your heart over a fence and your horse will follow.

There are times when you can trust a horse, times when you can't, and times when you have to.

There is something about riding down the street on a prancing horse that makes you feel like something, even when you aren’t a thing.

There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I need.

He who loves me must love my horse.

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.

THAT'S RIGHT!

"When a miracle happens, first thank God - then the horse."

Look back on our struggle for freedom,
Trace our present day's strength to its source;
And you'll find that man's pathway to glory
Is strewn with the bones of a horse.

When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: He trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.


Horse, you are truly a creature without equal,
for you fly without wings and conquer without sword.
-The Koran

The hooves of the horses O' witching and sweet
Is the music earth steals from the iron-shod feet
No whisper of lover, no trilling of bird
Can stir me as hooves of the horses have stirred.

To ride a horse is to connect with the world, capture the wind, and sail upon heaven's border

I like that one. it's my msn name. =]

Heh heh my fave version of that is: "A jumps jockey must throw his heart over each fence, then go over and catch it".

Here's some of mine:

-It's hard to lead a cavalry charge when you look funny on a horse.
-There's nothing quite like having seventeen hands between your legs (my friend's personal favourite, and they're not horsey ).
-There is no secret as close as that between a rider and his horse.
-Horse sense is what horses have that stops them betting on people.
-Riding is the art of keeping a horse between you and the ground.
-To ride a horse is to conquer the sky.
-Riding is alot like nuts and bolts .... If the rider's nuts, the horse bolts!
-In riding a horse we borrow freedom.
-Feeling down? Saddle up.
-Horses lend us the wings we lack.
-Gypsy gold does not clink nor glitter, it gleams in the sun and neighs in the dark.
-Horses are the only rival of dogs for the spot as man's best friend.

It's always been and always will be the same in the world: The horse does the work and the coachman is tipped. -Author Unknown

He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.

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

If your horse says no, you either asked the wrong question, or asked the question wrong. ~Pat Parelli

They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The
reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a prince as
soon as his groom.
Ben Johnson
