Inspirational/motivational neck strap quotes?

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

Anyone think of a good, positive few words to put on a neck strap? More inspirational/motivational than funny and only positive connotations so not 'don't cry' or 'don't fall off' more something to give a boost/smile/determination ?

Any ideas........go! ?

 

[The Xmas Furry]

Hold tight to go faster

I'm joyriding!

 

[cobgoblin]

Put two circles on it.
'in case of emergency, press buttons and hold'

 

[SOS]

Tighten your girth and harden your heart

Look up and leg on

If in doubt, kick on

‘What if I fall?’ ‘Oh but my darling, what if you fly?’ (Peter pan lol)

 

[Roxylola]

"Ride it like you stole it"
And after last weekend- this is not a rein (I dropped the wrong thing ?‍)
"Hold tight, kick on"

 

[MagicMelon]

The saying I actually think of in my head before going XC or into the ring for a SJ round is "ride like you've just had a refusal", I always ride far more determined if Ive had a refusal so its a good thing to think before even starting!

 

[The Xmas Furry]

Grin and breathe!

 

[Esmae]

I think I would just put "Oh sh*t!" on mine.

 

[Roxylola]

Heels down
Keep breathing
Would any of the psos gullet mantras be any good - they're likely to be quite short, my scarlet says something like standing ovations which isn't great but there might be something better

 

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

Tighten your girth and harden your heart

Look up and leg on

If in doubt, kick on

‘What if I fall?’ ‘Oh but my darling, what if you fly?’ (Peter pan lol)

Oo I quite like 'what if you fly?' ?

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Holy crap strap!
Keep kicking, unless it starts bucking then stop kicking!
The art of flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

 

[Annagain]

Only one of us can freak out at a time and it's not your turn.

 

[irishdraft]

Feel the fear but do it anyway ?

 

[Ownedby4horses]

“Saved your ass, didn’t I”

”oh sh*t strap”

 

[mustardsmum]

Scream if you want to go faster …

 

[SussexbytheXmasTree]

“Hold on and pretend it’s a plan”

 

[tristar]

my horse is my friend

 

[Sprat]

I saw a one advertised on fb a little while ago that made me snort... "Try not to piss yourself"

ETA - I clearly missed your point, as the above is neither motivational or inspirational.

‘Heels down & sit back!’

 

[JackFrost]

The ring verse from The Lord of the Rings??
'One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them'

 

[Meowy Catkin]

There's that quote that goes along the lines of 'the art of riding to to keep the horse between yourself and the ground.'

There will be lots of quotes about horses. Churchill said a few classic ones, eg 'No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.'

I'm sure you could find lots of good ones.

I thought of another - 'for one to fly, one only needs to take the reins.'

 

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

Some of these are great, keep them coming! ?

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

We call it the 'oh Jesus!' strap and I have to confess to grabbing it and the reins with one hand and making a hasty sign of the cross with the other! We survived that one so He must have been listening lol!

 

[Carrottom]

Keep a leg on either side.
SMILE, THIS IS FOR FUN

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I can imagine one that would work for my gelding. An altered Life of Brian quote - 'I'm not the Messiah, I'm a very naughty boy.' Not that he'd admit though... he thinks a lot of himself.

 

[GreyMane]

To Infinity - and beyond!

Whoah dear! What can the matter be?

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Two old dears stuck in the lavatory?

“Hold on and pretend it’s a plan”

Love this and may have to invest in one. My crap strap lives in the boot of my car (I ride several different horses for clients). It would go well with my Tardis mask!

As for quotes:
'If you get stuck, kick like ...' (perhaps not the right fit for your request, but I might give someone a smile!)

'Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway'
'There's something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man' (or woman!)
'No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle'

 

[Cowpony]

Kick, smile and carry on

My old instructor used to yell 'toes in his ears' when ponies tanked off!
