PAMISMS 101
 
Anyone who has taken even a few riding lessons will never forget the sage advice from their trainer. Advice that not only applies to horse and rider but in just about any life situation. Here are a few of our beloved "Pamisms"! 
 
 
Through it or over it....just ride the horse.
 
Nothing good ever came from pulling back....go forward.
 
Bravery is practiced.
 
Pam: Did you ask him to do that?  Any of us:  Do what?
 
Seat and leg into hands......SOFT ARMS!!
 
Stay in the middle of your horse. Don't motor cycle around the bend.
 
Find your seat bone.
 
Did you feel that?  
 
Don't look down.  OK do that again and don't look down.
 
It takes two to pull.  Stop pulling.
 
Ride what they give you.
 
Are you hurt?  If not come again.
 
Don't say no....show them the yes.
 
Stop gripping with your knees...you're cutting him in half
 
The reins are like the lines on the road.
 
Reward the horse by moving on...Don't punish him for the right answer.
 
Think slowly through the fast parts.
 
RIDE YOUR DAMN HORSE!
