Train to be a quarter horse, not a thoroughbred. Thoroughbreds are fast. Bred and trained for speed and endurance. Outside of that, they’re neurotic messes – flighty, injury prone, easily spooked by a plastic bag floating by.
Quarter horses, on the other hand are un-phased by just about everything. They’re still very fast for short distances, but they’re bred to be a working horse. Chaos of a herd, an errant lasso, a dog…they take it all in stride. They can handle whatever is thrown at them, pivot on a dime, and perform in just about any circumstances.
Train outside of your comfort zone. Take on chosen suffering. Embrace some chaos. Strengthen your core and develop a quarter horse mentality.
