I am reminded of Truman's story about challenging his dressage instructor
to a fast trail ride. I think there are a lot of instructors out there
foisting a lot of nonsense onto little girls who never question it,ornever
manage to put it into perspective.No doubt there are a lot of us "primitive"
riders out there who should have had a bit more formal training ,but I see
these groups of riding ring kids occasionally come to a field trial,and it is
pathetic.They've been taking lessons for some time,maybe years,and they can't
keep up with the gallery.They seem to be waiting for precise instruction
every step of the way. Meanwhile there are kids up front galloping across
creeks on a 16 hand TWH,who've never had a lesson in their life...

Of course things aren't perfect, perfect doesn't exist on this earth.
Doesn't mean we won't go on trying to get better at what we do. Besides, if
everything was perfect today, what would you do tomorrow? Slamming each
other doesn't get anything done.

because
in doing so we
learn the truth about what cannot be imitated.
