Horse Quote for the Month

The noblest task of the riding teacher is to form the mind of the student as well, so that the latter comes to depend on the teacher less and less.
~ Waldemar Seunig, Horsemanship

Horses in Unexpected Places

Did you know...
The reason that all the horses in the Lippizzaner show are stallions? Apparently mares have a different centre of gravity and, therefore, can't perform all of the maneuvers that stallions can. Historically, mares were valued as excellent carriage horses for the aristocracy while stallions were used as saddle horses!
