“It's hard to lead a cavalry charge if you think you look funny on a horse.”
“You should be living your life like a cavalry charge, or at least writing about it." Robert Knight in 'Hoofing It”
“A horse must be a bit mad to be a good cavalry mount, and its rider must be completely so.”
“Commitment is a funny thing, you know? It's almost like getting a tatoo. You think and you think and you think and you think before you get one. And once you get one, it's stick to you hard and deep.”
“The first time we did cavalry charge I was so breathless with excitement I nearly fell off the horse. I actually saw stars in front of my eyes and thought I was going to faint. The second time I had a bit more control but was still giddy with excitement. And the third time I was an emotional wreck. I had to really try hard not to cry.”
“You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead.”
