This is my personal motto.
You have to enjoy each day of what you do.
It’s not just about achieving your goals, but
about savoring life while you travel toward them.
As
a rider and an Eventer, if you are in the sport just for
the big wins or the chances to ride in international
competitions, it is not enough.
The highs are high, but the lows come more often. If
you don’t get satisfaction and joy out of your daily
routine, then the big successes don’t come often enough
to make it all worthwhile.
I imagine this is true in any walk of life.
You should truly enjoy
your lifestyle, and love what you do every day. I
know I do.
Life
is a Journey. Enjoy the Ride.

What delight
To back the flying steed
That challenges the wind for speed!
Seems native more of air than earth
Whose burden only lends him fire
Whose soul, in his task, turns labour into sport;
Who makes your pastime his! I sit him now.
He takes away my breath! He makes me reel.
I touch not earth - I see not - hear not
All is ecstasy of motion!
~ James Sheridan Knowles ~

Ride a wild horse
against the sky
hold tight to his wings
before you die
whatever else you leave undone—
once ride a wild horse
into the sun.

Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.
