This was said by Cynthia Garrett. (This quote really touched me because there comes a time where you need to say good bye and all though its hard it will be the best thing to do even though we know it will be hard). 'I've spent most of my life riding horses, the rest I've just wasted.' The author of this quote is unknown. (This quote made me smile because it made me think, if you aren't doing something that you enjoy then what's the point in doing it? Just a thought). 'A true horseman does not look at the horse with his eyes, he looks at his horse with his heart' unfortunately the author is this quote is also unknown.
