Horses and Dressage

We must be concerned to not sour the young horse,

Instead we shall preserve his natural vigor and loveliness

As it resembles the sweet perfume of blossoming fruit,

Which once it has drifted away is never to return!

Where in this wide world can men find nobility without pride,

Friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity?

Here, where grace is laced with power and strength tempered by gentleness.

He serves without servility, he has force without enmity.

There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.

There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.

Our pioneers were borne on his back,

Our history is his industry.

We are his heirs and he is our inheritance...

The horse
