1. Horses don't follow bullies or cowards, they follow leaders.
2. If your horse is your mirror,
    then look close enough to see if you should forget 
    the hair, and just powder the nose.
3. Horses don't care how much you know,
    until they know how much you care.
4. Horses don't learn when we ask them to do something -
    They learn when we quit asking them to do something.
5. NEVER do anything that takes away a horse's
    Confidence
    Curiosity
    Sensitivity
    or Dignity
