There are no short cuts in this sport

In this sport you can take short cuts, but they will inevitably lead to dead ends. Whether it be going the extra distance in training, knowing your horse better than you know yourself, sticking to a good exercise program and diet for yourself, great feeding program that adjusts to your horse requirements, having the correct gear, a great farrier etc etc there are no short cuts if you want to achieve your goals and have a healthy happy horse. Every detail counts and as someone once said 'life is a game of inches' and when you add up all those inches over days and then over the years that is what makes a winning team & that team is you and your horse.
