Welcome to Making It Work Equine where it is
All about the horse
Horses are one of the most forgiving creatures we share our
lives with. They don't hold grudges, they live in the moment and
don't dwell on the past. They are full of lessons that we can
learn.
They live by instincts. That gut feeling we get is
our instincts kicking in too. Horses have survived for centuries
upon centuries so they must be doing something right.
Horses have taught me more about myself than life.
The most important lesson to learn about a horse is that "THEY
WILL NEVER THINK LIKE A HUMAN" so we get to learn how to think
like them. What a fabulous and rewarding challenge.
So, if you would like to experience the wonders of the
horse on a different level, browse through my site and find out how I
can help you experience the rewards of learning.

DID YOU KNOW...
-
The
reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore
when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on
the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.
-
If a
statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the
air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the
horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural
causes.
-
Where
did the expression "to get one's goat" originate? Owners of high
strung race horses would place a goat with them to help them calm
down. Unscrupulous people steal the horse's goat *friend* in order to
upset the horse so it would not race well.

Draft
horses are the strongest animals in the world next to the elephant.
-
There
are over 300 different breeds of horses and ponies around the world.
-
That
the practice of mounting a horse from the left side began in ancient
Greece. Warriors always carried their weapons on their left side,
which made mounting on the right side impossible.

Horses
produce approximately 10 gallons of saliva a day.
My common sayings:
"Attitudes never fall too
far from the rider"
"Horses only give reasons
not excuses"
"Horses aren't born mean, there is
always a reason for their behaviour"
Off Topic...some other favourite sayings
of mine are:
"Never interrupt your enemies when they are
making a mistake"
"You only fail to succeed when you stop
trying"
"Take care of your future because you get
to spend the rest of your life there"
