In riding and training, shortcuts don’t save time. They cost more in the long run. Geoff Teall reminds us that the fastest way forward is often the slowest. Skipping steps or rushing a horse up the levels only means going back later to fix what was missed. Patience, consistency, and respect for the process create sounder horses, stronger riders, and true long-term success. #Horsemanship #HunterJumper #GeoffTeall #ThePlaidHorse #horsetraining
