Fable Farm

When I go work with people whose thoughts I value, I often come away with a few quotes that leave me thinking until I see them again. When you work largely by yourself throughout the year, these things become important to look back on when you're feeling stuck, unsure or unclear.

Some notes from my clinic journal this year so far:

"The thing we call curiosity is the flip side of a tissue-paper thin coin called fear."

"The hindquarter is where you disengage the thought and the forequarter is where you engage the thought."

"The biggest favor we can do for ourselves and our horses is to get them in the habit of letting go of their thoughts with no trouble between us."

"Horses are not good at separating class time and recess."

"Speed doesn't come from hurrying, it comes from confidence."

"Don't let their motions verify their feelings."
