The Equestrian's Iceberg

7/10/2020

 
Picture
You know what they say about the tip of the iceberg? That's the bit that sticks up above the water line and it can be dazzlingly beautiful. I know, because I've been to the Antarctic and I have seen them in all their multi-coloured, crystalline glory. But the cliche goes on to say that the vast bulk of the iceberg is actually hidden from view, deep in the cold, dark water. All this makes icebergs a really convenient metaphor for anything that has a lot going on behind the scenes in order to achieve the visible results. Like show business, and especially like HORSE SHOW business! Like those freezing winter mornings where you have to unbuckle rugs with frozen fingers, or dismount gingerly onto frozen feet...

So I hope you can identify with my Equestrian's Iceberg. Feel free to like and share. Have I missed anything? What would you add to it?

What I have learned about horses and authority

16/9/2020

 
Quotes by Joanne Verikios: I learned that authority, like Nature (and probably because it is Nature), abhors a vacuum. I quickly realised that either I would be in charge, or my pony would be in charge. I became a benevolent dictator at a young age. We were both happy with the arrangement.

Lessons from horses: be aware of your surroundings

Lessons from horses: be aware of your surroundings. Joanne Verikios
Lessons from horses: be aware of your surroundings. You can be sure that your horse is noticing every little thing. You need to be observant too, so you can choose all the things it is wise for you and your horse to be perfectly relaxed about. You'll both have a nicer outing that way!
Joanne Verikios

What I have learned about horses and boundaries

9/9/2020

 
Joanne Verikios quote: I learned that horses, just like children, appreciate boundaries established with friendliness, competence, fairness and consistency. A sense of humour goes a long way too!

    Joanne Verikios Winning Horsemanship Quotes and Memes
    Hi! I'm Joanne Verikios. In my view, horses are the most beautiful animals ever created.


    If you are reading this, you probably feel the same way!

    I have loved horses all my life (and maybe in previous lives too!).

    From a very early age I have been able to tune in to what they were thinking and what they were likely to do next.

    Sharing my understanding of their ways and needs with other horse lovers is my way of giving back for every neigh, whinny, nuzzle and ride.

    I create, write and share for people like me - mad about horses, passionate about becoming better owners/riders/trainers/breeders and keen to learn as much as they possibly can.

    I hope you enjoy these memes, quotes and sayings and share them with your family and friends.

    My inner artist gets a lot of fun from designing the © images to go with the words.
