From Misery to Mastery
by
Joanne Verikios

Did you try force
And regret losing your head?
Perhaps he was punished,
Or you just wished he was dead?
Many have been there
Through their pride and their ego.
But that kind of pride
Is not our amigo!
Instead be so patient
And take enough time.
You’ll get there much faster
And your lessons will rhyme!
When you can relate to your horse
Soul to soul, book to shelf,
There’ll be no more remorse
For you’ll have mastered yourself.

Hi!

My name is Joanne.
I have loved horses all my life. Sharing my understanding of their ways and needs with other horse lovers is my way of giving back for every neigh, whinny, nuzzle and exhilarating ride. I write 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 was inspired to put fingers to keyboard while travelling around Australia on a horse judging tour some years ago. I could empathise with those competitors whose performance fell short of their hopes or expectations. Their struggles and near-misses made me realise (a) that there was a knowledge and experience gap; and (b) that I had a contribution to make by writing down some of the secrets and tips I had learned the hard way!
