"Speak your mind, but ride a fast horse." =-)

["Whitney Bass" <bass@bigsky.net>]

For those of you who enjoy quotes, here's a few of my favorites:

"Some people think horses are dumb.  Ability and intelligence are in all
horses, regardless of breed.  Their so-called stupidity stems from our poor
communication.  Training a horse is like drawing a picture.  The better I
draw the picture, the better the communication.  If I'm drawing a horse in
pencil, I've communicated something.  If I add crayon to my drawing, you
can tell that the horse I've drawn is a Palomino.  Does that mean that
you've gotten smarter?  No.  It means that I've become a better
communicator."  (John Lyons)

"Be considerate of your horse.  He is not a machine -- and even machines
run better with good driving." 

"When you're young and you fall off a horse, you may break something.  When
you're my age and you fall off, you splatter."  (Roy Rogers)

"How do you catch a loose horse?  Make a noise like a carrot."  (British
cavalry joke)

"Riding:  the art of keeping a horse between you and the ground." 
(anonymous)

"Horses are something to dream about. . . and to wish for: and to watch. .
. and to make friends with; nice to pat. . . and great to hug:  and, oh,
what a joy to ride!"  (Pinch)

And my all-time favorite:  "Show me your horse and I will tell you who you
are."  (English Proverb)
