We do not seek the erratic
perception of physical surge, or the aptitude of mental dominance – but we do
strive to maintain an adhesive bond between both hearts. We create harmony, cadence,
and power behind gentle aids and assertive reinforcement. That is simply all it
takes to be an equestrian. Respecting each wild-hearted is how horse and rider
coexist. It is not in the ways that we hold our reins, however, in the ways we
hold our hearts.
No matter the discipline,
all equestrianism involves attachment – whether the horse is attached to you
physically or soulfully. Riding the horse isn’t required; nothing is ever
required. Limits are nonexistent as are goals, but prediction is what seems to hold
back a lot of our equestrians, as they do not even know the time it will take
to become real friends with their magnificent partner.
Most times it takes
many weeks to determine whether or not horse and rider will pair well, but I
must say that in the couple weeks it took to approach my own horse with a
positive attitude I saw past the deep brown defiance in his eyes and saw myself
reaching impeccable heights. It was until that day the mental bond sealed, and
I was carried away in my own determination.
