One of my old trainer's favourite things to say to me (because I was quite anxious when I was younger, and was often reluctant to try anything like a big canter or higher jumps)

me: *busy freaking out*
Trainer: *forces me to try anyway*
me: *mildly succeeds*
Trainer: "See!? You didn't even die once!"

My mum (aka my trainer) told me this yesterday "slow your ass down to slow his feet!" When I did so he stopped and I got impaled buy the saddle horn

My trainer has said almost all of these to me 😅

I kinda feel bad for the horses that are being riden whilst the rider is being trained by any of these trainers

Her: "Im going to put this imaginary egg under you, dont crack my egg"

Me: two points

Her: "Anddd my egg is all over the saddle"

.

.

Her: "Its like ballet if it hurts your doing it right"

.

.

Her: "Smack her with the crop like you would smack your brothers!"

Him: (a cowboy) Get your hand on the horn! Do you think you're a **** cowboy? You wanna look cool or be dead?

Me: (gladly and quickly grabs horn)

Him: You'll look pretty stupid dead. What a dumb way to kill yourself...

Me: (tries not to cry and keeps loping without reins)
Him: (continues rant about how everyone thinks it's so cool to not hold the horn)

Horse people are a TOUGH kind of people 🙃
