I’ve been noticing a trend the last several years. We’ve let the next generation get soft. Kids want to ride, but they don’t want to LEARN HOW TO ride. They don’t like the heat, but they won’t get up early. They want a horse, but turn up their nose at the idea of cleaning stalls, as if it is beneath them. They want to make some money, but aren’t willing to work. They think horseback riding is something you do when the weather is perfect, and for the other 9 months of the year someone else can care for that animal’s needs. We have a problem folks, and I for one find it terrifying.
Let’s teach these kids to have a passion, and to commit to it, that in order to do something we love, it might at times require hard work, sweat and sacrifice.
