<< - My favorite rider is the one who listens to what I'm trying to tell them
- when I'm scared, when I'm bold, when I'm proud to be in the lead, when
that tree stump jumped up out of nowhere, when I'm tired (really tired and
not faking tired). My favorite rider understands that I'm not a machine
with gear shifts, but a living creature with a will and an intelligence of
my own. I am unpredictable and will sometimes behave rather poorly. That
is the risk my rider takes when he sits on me. In return for this risk, I
offer to selected riders the highest animal/human partnership available on
the planet.

AMEN MIKE!
