September 30, 2010

Note to self: Stick to your knitting. If you can produce a good product, you're almost there. Alexander didn't become Alexander the Great because he had a good PR guy.

High-level dressage is 90% about the product. It's tempting to take the easy way and attempt to prove yourself through positive PR about yourself or through negative PR about other trainers. This is false bravado and the effect is momentary. The concrete ability to train is most of the battle and ensures longevity. The rest is just smoke and mirrors.
