I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.

 
Ludwig Wittgenstein
 

The domestic horse world needs to usher in a new order of horsemanship, based upon the paradigm of the natural horse and rider.

 
Jaime Jackson
 

It is best to let the horse go his way, and pretend it is yours. There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.

 
Robert Smith Surtees
 

I say it is better to see a horse as a monster than to see it only as a slow substitute for a motor-car. If we have got into that state of mind about a horse as something stale, it is far better to be frightened of a horse because it is a good deal too fresh.

 
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
 

The Englishman never enjoys himself except for a noble purpose. He does not play cricket because it is a good game, but because it creates good citizens. He does not love motor-races for their own sake, but for the advantages they bring to the engineering firms of his country. And it is common knowledge that the devoted persons who conduct and regularly attend horse-races do not do so because they like it, but for the benefit of the breed of the English horse.
