[IceHorses] Quotes

2007-12-07 Thread Judy Ryder
Do not become paralyzed and enchained by the set patterns which have been 
woven of old. No, build from your own youthful feeling, your own groping 
thought and your own flowering perception--and help to further that beauty 
which has grown from the roots of tradition. --Lotte Lehman


Tradition is a guide and not a jailer. --W. Somerset Maugham

[IceHorses] Quotes / Leadership, Fear

2007-11-27 Thread Judy Ryder
Leadership

... Horses are natural followers, looking for natural
leaders. A calm, friendly, fair, decisive and firm
leader earns respect in the horse world. And the herd
members can only be as brave as their leader. Respect
has to be earned, it's not an automatic right. This
thinking is very helpful to humans who aspire to have
their horse's respect ...

Fear

... all the undesirable physical behaviours such as
bolting, running off scared into solid objects,
bucking, lashing out with feet or teeth ... are signs
of fear, insecurity or confusion. In an instant a
horse can turn terrified, his primeval instincts
pointing him in one direction - to survive at any
cost. This explains a lot ... and can teach us plenty
