“Each time you ride your horse, he’s a different horse, ride it that way.” - Fredi Castro
.
I thought that was a brilliant statement. What he means is, every day is different. Don’t get on your horse today thinking he is going to be the way he was yesterday. Always start with a fresh mind. a light hand and light leg, you can always build from there. Don’t start out with heavy cues, because where do you go from there?

That is a brilliant statement.
More than a few times, I’ve run into that reality. I had one horse that was meek and mild until one day he launched me from his back as easily as his tail would swat a fly. I have no idea what I did differently. So now, I take a few moments to test my horse’s mood and responsiveness before I even catch him, and then each moment with him leads to what I will actually do with him that day.

Sometimes I ride, sometimes I play with him, and sometimes I just stand next to him while he munches hay.
Wow, I’d say you learned the hard way. I guess we all do… Sometimes horses just leave us in the dirt scratching our heads.
