For the young, the practice of equitation is a valuable lesson, as it requires the exercise of all human virtue.

A horse will never tire of a rider who possesses both tact and sensitivity because he will never be pushed beyond his possibilities.
The horse must understand and accept any demands made by rider without any resistance. Reward the horse each time he does what is asked of him. Never ask for more than he is capable of giving. Make him a COMPANION, and not a slave, then you will see what a true friend he is.
Ask often, be content of little, reward always.
