What we keep.
1) "It's not about what you get, it's about what you keep." (Lauryn Hill, 1990s)
I got lucky; I have kept my hope.
2)
Breaking ice on water buckets
Balancing three, four, six bales of hay on a wheelbarrow
Mucking out ten stables before lunch.
Yard swept so clean a single blade of straw detracts
Sweet breath from soft muzzles
Watch the ears
Gentle with the bit
Don't bang their teeth
Slide, don't drop the saddle on their withers
Finish what you started
Walk the course before you ride
Choose your path
Control your pace
Never give up on an obstacle
Where you fix your eyes is where you'll end up;
Don't look in the ditch
Tend your horse before yourself
Never give up on an obstacle
Never give up on an obstacle
