Some think it means riding that bronc through all the bucks, leading that stallion out for breeding etc.... big grandiose gestures....
I think courage is something else... its going to the barn when you are scared spit less and still trying to get something accomplished.
Its sticking with "that" horse when no one else will,when you are doing it for the right reasons. Letting go when you should. all these things are much harder than sticking a buck.;)
To me having the confidence in your our convictions and beliefs.
Ride on and don't let anyone get you down they are your horses brought to you for a reason Have the courage to to learn the lesson they will teach you!!!
Happy riding!

This is to be a positive site. There is enough negative out there, and completely insane training techniques. I will do my best to stay out of those waters. The odd rant is fine we all get the blood drawn out from underneath our finger nails sometimes. I would like to keep this focused on the true horse people who get out and ride ,drive whatever with their horses,fall off and go again.:) Cheers,

Pounding hooves, tossing mane,Take me swiftly on my life's journey.Loyal friend, carry me to a place of safety.Lift me over the obstacles of my path

"There is something about jumping a horse over a fence,somethingthat makes you feel good. perhaps it is the risk,or the gamble. In any event it is a thing I need."

"Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A horse is 'disobedient' in exact proportion to how difficult he finds the task. The trainer's problem is not how to punish the 'disobedience' but to discover *why* the horse finds the task difficult!" --William Hillebrand
"Riding is a dance between horse and rider, the less the rider does the more beatiful the dance"

So remeber when your horse gives you a hard day it just makes the good days even better, without a negative a postive would not exsist.
