Good Quotes

hoffywhf

I’m not very good with the written word, and am pretty much hopeless when it comes to condensing something insightful and brilliant into one or two sentences. Thus I always appreciate it when other people manage to do this. I was reading an article by the eventing coach Jimmy Wofford today and read yet another of his brilliant “Woffordisms” when it comes to horses:

“The worst of them sense our fears and take advantage of us. The best of them sense our dreams and take us there.“

I think this quote is brilliant, simply because in my experience it is so true. I think there is something to be learned from every horse, but I also think some horses are able to touch certain people in very special ways. I know I have been lucky and blessed to own several gorgeous, talented horses in my life. I’ve loved and learned from them all but two of them definitely had the ability to sense my dreams and take me there. As I was thinking about this quote today it made me start thinking about other quotes that have made me laugh, or made me nod my head in agreement. I’ve listed a few that came to mind today. Please add your favorite horse quotes in the comments.
