For want of a naile the shoe is lost, for want of a shoe the horse is lost, for want of a horse the rider is lost.

For want of a Nail the Shoe is lost ; for want of a Shoe the Horse is lost ; for want of a Horse the Man is lost.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
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
The object of walking is to relax the mind. You should therefore not permit yourself even to think while you walk; but divert your attention by the objects surrounding you. Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far. The Europeans value themselves on having subdued the horse to the uses of man; but I doubt whether we have not lost more than we have gained, by the use of this animal. No one has occasioned so much, the degeneracy of the human body. An Indian goes on foot nearly as far in a day, for a long journey, as an enfeebled white does on his horse; and he will tire the best horses. There is no habit you will value so much as that of walking far without fatigue.
