Quotes of Franz Mairinger


  • "The whip, …, is the most useful tool a horseman can have." (1983)

  • "As general Buerkner said when he came to England, ‘I can’t help – Your position is not right.’ And if your position is not right, if you can’t sit there, if you can’t apply the aids properly, then, no matter how much I tell you, or anybody else tells you, it’s just useless." (1983)
