Horses have taught me as much, if not more, than I have taught them over the years. When you are working with horses, you start to learn a lot about yourself, and you start to learn a lot about life. Many of the philosophies used to train a horse are applicable to every area of my life. Growth happens when you have an understanding that you are going to have failures and tough days. You have to put one foot in front of the other and keep trying. If you never quit, you’ll never fail.
