Which stallion do you feed?
The old master said to his apprentice,
“I have two stallions within me:
One is love and compassion. The other is fear and anger.”
The young apprentice asked, “Which one will win, master?“
The old master replied, “The one I feed“…
Angry riders always find a way to get angry.
Sad riders always find a way to get sad.
Anxious riders always find a way to get anxious.
Critical riders always find a way to be critical.
Complaining riders always find a way to complain.
Jealous riders always find a way to get jealous.
Compassionate riders always find a way to feel compassion.
Enthusiastic riders always find a way to get enthusiastic.
Cheerful riders always find a way to get cheerful.
Grateful riders always find a way to feel gratitude.

The grateful station (at last my rider knows how I think) & need to be treated
“Show me your horse and I know who you are” KFH.
I feed the compassionate stallion.
I can’t seem to pick just one of the the last four stallions, plus the “curiosity” stallion. They are all important to me. The one I will feed depends on what my horses and I want to work on and how we feel that day.
Thank you Marijke for always reminding us to be the best we can be for our selves, our horses and those around us.
Thank you so much for the wonderful food for thought. So true.
