When you give someone a commitment to ride their horse, you do it - unless, God forbid, something serious has happened. It would be laziness not to do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It always amazes me when people go rent horses and ride them. You mean you want me to pay you to ride a horse?
Yeah, pretending to ride a horse is actually a lot harder than riding a horse.
You can't do the same thing every day with the horse. Because they then know the thing inside out, and they're leading you, not the other way round. You don't want them to take over. You have to be able to ride the movements and set the movements up; you don't want them starting before you are ready.
I think some horses are meant to do... eventing or dressage. We have Western horses who canter around. I think it takes, especially at the level I'm at now, it takes a horse that wants to do it.
It takes a good deal of physical courage to ride a horse. This, however, I have. I get it at about forty cents a flask, and take it as required.
You should never ask a horse or an actor to do something they cannot do. Wisdom will teach you to find out what they can do and then make it easy for them.
I ride horses once in a while, but I'm no expert. I hold on for dear life.
The only time some people work like a horse is when the boss rides them.
I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.
If a horse doesn't want to do something, you're not going to make him do it. They're incredibly powerful animals.
