Quotes of Faverot de Kerbrech


  • "In training one always wants to go too fast. To arrive quickly, do not hurry, but be firmly assured of each step. The lesson should be for the horse, as for the horseman, a rewarding exercise, an instructive game which never brings fatigue. When sweat begins to show, it is because the man has gone too far." (1891)

  • "Demand often; be content with little; reward a lot."

  • "Always avoid demanding work of precision with a tired horse, exasperated, wet with sweat, that which whould oblige him to obtain it by force. It is necessary that the animal be fresh for these difficult lessons. It should be for him a game intermingled with rest and reward."
