It is the reason why our sport is timeless and ageless, you always have this partnership, this relationship. You never get tired of trying to get better.

You need a good, clear plan in your head that you can focus on. Know what you want and have the discipline to get there. Most importantly, you must never, ever give up.

Never forget that you're working with animals. They have their own character and their own will. Horses can also have a bad day or not feel quite right. You have to respect that as a rider.
