FOR YOUR HORSE’S SAKE By Neil Davies When you walk into the stable Don't try to show who's boss Your horse won't understand you And he'll be at a loss Instead, just go and rub his head Be kind, and furthermore When you walk into the stable Leave your ego at the door When you walk into the paddock You must go to your horse Don't think that he should come to you Don't chase or yell or force Just take some feed to catch him In this there's no debate When you walk into the paddock Leave your ego at the gate Every time you ride your horse Think before you ask Make it easy, always question If he’s ready for the task And when you have a problem Don’t throw your weight around Every time you ride your horse Leave your ego on the ground Whenever you are with your horse Show him kindness first Be nice and friendly always And never think the worst It’s sometimes not that easy To know what’s in his mind But whenever you are with your horse Leave your ego far behind
