Quotes from George H. Morris

I'm going to teach you about men. Distances are like men. Never grab the first one you see; it's never the best one, more will come along.

Love means attention, which means looking after the things we love. We call this stable management.

Katie Prudent: One of the greatest things about those times was that everything he [George Morris] taught us in the equitation had form with meaningful function. Your straight back was for strength, and your heels were your anchor. Everything he taught us made so much sense and that knowledge translated from equitation to the jumpers.

From that moment on, I knew what it was to be a good student. A good student doesn't talk; she listens. I will say this about George: he was very clear about what was expected of us and told us when we did something wrong. Teenagers need that level of clarity sometimes for a lesson to sink in. There were so many others: don't take short cuts, work ethic is everything, and if nothing else, be gutsy.
