It’s All In the Heart
Winning happens in the heart. As Vince Lombardi said: “Battles are won in the hearts of men.” Likewise, once you have the heart of a horse, he will do anything for you with all his heart, and you can win any battle. Horses that win races are said to have heart, and some of them literally have larger hearts. Having heart is the thing that is necessary to win. Horses that jump and perform better do so because they have the heart for it. The heart is the single most, if not the most important thing. When it comes to horses and when it comes to us as humans. A horse or person can have all the talent and physical means that seem necessary to win, but if they don’t have the heart to win, to compete, to fight, they will never win.
