in all of your wire and rubbery goodness,
how you keep my hands soft when they want to be strong,
preserving my ponies' gentle mouths.
Thank you for teaching me that a hot horse
sometimes simply needs the kindest solution.
No Pelham, nor gag, nor any exquisite bit offering quick results
can please my horses the way you do.
I want to tell the world,
shout from atop the tallest mountain,
"Hello world! Look no further! For the Nathe has come to solve your problems!"
A horse only gets one mouth in his life,
it is time we learned to respect it,
not destroy it.
It is time we learned to ride!
-William Shakespeare
