If you are looking for some great inspirational horse quotes that are short and sweet, look no further.
As an equestrian myself I have curated a list here for you, of my favorite quotes for the horse lover or horse person. For when you need some encouragement on your equestrian journey.
You could use these in cards to your horsey friends or students if your an instructor, in your email newsletters, you can write down your favorites and post it somewhere as encouragement, or whatever else you are wanting simple inspirational horse quotes for.
You could also just read them to feel more motivated and inspired.
Though these are great quotes for equestrians, many of these quotes can also apply to non-equestrians as well.
Just so you know these quotes are no longer than 12 words.
If you are interested I have another post with 100 inspirational horse quotes.
