A Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

A free horse where there is no man on its saddle always looks more beautiful than a slave horse with a man on its saddle!

What is outside yourself does not convey much worth; Clothes do not make the man, the saddle not the horse.

Angelus Silesius

I grew up in the prolonged survival of the great age of the horse, with harness and saddle and sleigh bells and horse pictures, not as antiques but the facts of our lives.

Paul Engle

The horse is, like man, the most beautiful and the most miserable of creatures, only, in the case of man, it is vice or property that makes him ugly. He is responsible for his own decadence, while the horse is only a slave.

Rosa Bonheur

There is a story in Zen circles about a man and a horse. The horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. Another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «Where are you going?» and the first man replies, «I don't know! Ask the horse!» This is also our story. We are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. The horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.

Nhat Hanh

The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.

Louis L'Amour

The fault of the horse is put on the saddle.

George Herbert

Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!

Robert Browning

Never buy a saddle until you have met the horse.

Mortimer Zuckerman

I have brought many artifacts back with me from the steppe. My favourite is a 90-year-old Kazakh saddle decorated with silverwork in traditional motifs. It symbolises the deep relationship between man and horse on the Eurasian Steppe.

Tim Cope

A man who examines the saddle and bridle and not the animal itself when he is out to buy a horse is a fool; similarly, only an absolute fool values a man according to his clothes, or according to his position, which after all is only something we wear like clothing.

Seneca the Younger

The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse.

Jackie Kennedy

Lived in his saddle, loved the chase, the course, And always, ere he mounted, kiss'd his horse.

William Cowper

There is nothing like going on a stage. You are in the saddle, and you've got to ride that horse, and there's nothing more thrilling and exhilarating.

Beth Grant

How the horse dominated the mind of the early races especially of the Mediterranean! You were a lord if you had a horse. Far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances...The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action in man!
