How a wise horse named Dan taught me to relax, go with the flow and handle unexpected change with a smile.

\u201cHave the courage to do nothing.\u201d I\u2019ve seen this quote used in many different ways. While I\u2019m not sure who said it first (or why), I can see how it might apply to good horsemanship (and to certain circumstances in life). I first learned this from a wise horse named Dan. Many years ago, I met Dan at Park Police training barn. I was a volunteer exercise rider there. Dan was often my assigned mount \u2014 and his quirky personality (and impressive athleticism) made him the perfect schoolmaster. In this episode, I share Dan\u2019s lessons \u2014 and how they are perfect for coping with the unexpected pandemic of 2020.
