Lord, give me guidance. Teach me the way which I already know but do not follow.
Amen
Guide my mind before my steps, and hold my tongue tight, that I may be guarded by the shadow of the wings of your quiet mercy. Give me council through Jesus Christ, and temper my enemies, keeping me even more stronger than they! Raise the bar and lower the haughty gracefully, may it be swiftly, but in your time, which is outside of my judgement.
Have mercy on my soul, for the torment is not of my choosing; and happiness, through repentance, through your Son, Jesus, is my daily choice. Remind me to make that choice always, to keep me in your right hand, and deliver me from your left.
In Jesus Name,

Which training method did Jonathan Sheppard employ?
When somebody complained how Jonathan Sheppard would never explain his training program to them, this was my response:
Well, some of us understood his training program which was essentially reverse-engineered in congruency with the horse’s running date, its condition, the competition it would be up against, along with the expectations of its upcoming performance while always keeping the race AFTER that performance in mind.

Equine Inactive Side of Infinity
the. “Slow Walk”
The Equine Inactive Side of Infinity
Refers to a stagnant mental process.
Infinity expands perpetually from one point in all directions.
Example of a Horse Stuck in the Inactive Side of Infinity:
A horse who slow-walks off of the track with the intention of being near other horses who are acting-up, therefore, giving them an excuse to act-up as well.
The Horse’s Reason for Doing This:
It Is Three-Pronged

There are moments when an athlete experiences this:
Not “Doing” it:
and learning from it.
… the feeling of floating-
watching it all happen as
from the outside,
looking-in;
(Like watching a movie)
… not doing it,
but watching your body do it

Nietzsche and Jung Describe “The Three Stages Of Life”
The Three Stages Of Life
“…Nietzsche and Jung on the three metamorphoses of the spirit.
There is a passage in ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ in which Friedrich Nietzsche describes the spiritual evolution of man from childhood to old age.
He begins the passage by showing how a child spends his first years as a collector of duties, traumas and the word ‘No’, and how he resembles that of a camel, a beast of burden who must carry whatever is thrown onto its back.
Neuro-Muscle Memory
Mental processes induce physical processes.
Example:
Being annoyed tenses muscles.
Allowing yourself to stew in annoyance creates muscle memory which becomes physically stressful.
Breathe Through Tension
If you have tension in your stomach, breathe through it.
Let go of mental attachment.
Breathe Nothing.

Too Many Instructions
“Let Go of any reigns which are not currently in your hands!”
Expecting the Impossible
“A Trainer
Chip Van Hassel
can give
enough instructions
to paralyze the rider.”
The best way to find synchronicity is to Trust,
To Allow
and to
Let Go
of any reigns which are not currently in your hands.
Many trainers expect perfection every second, every step.
Chip Van Hassel
Elephants poop in the room whilst perfection is only witnessed briefly in moments displayed as result of training and effort towards the delayed gratification of raising to the next degree.
Too much is too much.
