My coaching philosophy ... “Begin with a dream, and then systematically turn that dream into a goal through work”.
is described by Jane Savoie in the book “That Winning Feeling” (1992). The aim of the “work” we all need to do with our horses or ponies is suggested by the “FEI Handbook Guidelines for Judging” (2007) to be ... “ the development of the horse into a happy athlete through harmonious education”.
Sometimes this is easier said than done! So, to keep me inspired and focused on my dreams, this statement by Nina Graham (1992) helps :
“Believe in yourself ... there is nothing you cannot achieve”
And finally ... a quote from the lovely Jonathan Livingstone Seagull story by R. Bach (1972) :
“No limits, Jonathan... His race to learn had begun.”
