Mara Dabrishus
“If I've learned anything over the years, it's that horses do listen to you. They may not have a clue what you're saying, but they know the tone in which you say it. I'll sing to horses so hooked on their own nerves they're ready to climb into the sky, and sometimes it's one of the only things that keep them on the ground.”
Mara Dabrishus, Stay the Distance

“Riding is the step-by-step seduction of the horse.”
Jean-Claude Racinet
