Always Pet Your Horse

When I was a kid my mom taught me to always pet my horse after my run. There has rarely ever been a time I haven't patted my horse coming out of the arena, good run or bad run. It's a habit and a good one, I think. A pat on the neck says "Thank You". It's just respectful to acknowledge the horse's effort he put forth for you, regardless of how the run turned out. Be the leader you would want to follow. And a good leader acknowledges your effort and thanks you for it. 😁
