与马共舞的智慧这篇24则感悟的原作者,是奥运障碍史上最高纪录保持者William Bill Steinkraus,Sarah饶通过自己与马相处的经验写下了对这24则感悟的解读。
1/24 Get your tack and equipment just right, and then forget about it and concentrate on the horse。
选好合适的马具,然后忘掉这些马具而把注意力放在马上。
2/24 The horse is bigger than you are, and it should carry you.The quieter you sit, the easier this will be for the horse。
马比你个头大,应该驮着你。你坐在马身上,应该坐安静。
3/24 The horse‘s engine is in the rear。 Thus, you must ride your horse from behind, and not focus on the forehand simply because you can see it。
马的发动机是后躯,所以骑马时要关注后驱。而不只是专注于视野中的前躯。
4/24 It takes two to pull。 Don‘t pull。 Push。
只有人马一起才能拉住缰绳。别拉,骑出去。
5/24 For your horse to be keen but submissive, it must be calm, straight and forward。
想要马敏锐顺从,首先要让他冷静,站直,向前。
6/24 When the horse isn‘t straight, the hollow side is the difficult side。
当马的身体不正直的时候,凹进去的那边不好控制。
7/24 The inside rein controls the bending, the outside rein controls the speed。
内方缰管屈挠,外方缰管速度。
8/24 Never rest your hands on the horse‘s mouth。 You make a contract with it: “You carry your head and I’ll carry my hands。”
永远不要偷懒把手靠在缰绳上,这是你们的约定:“你自己抬着头,我自己抬着手”
9/24 If the horse can‘t learn to accept what you’re doing, it isn‘t any good。
如果马不能学习接受你的所作所为,不是个好征兆。
10/24 Once you‘ve used an aid, put it back。
用一次扶助后,放回去。
11/24 You can exaggerate every virtue into a defect。
每个美德都可以被夸张成缺点。
12/24 Always carry a stick, then you will seldom need it。
永远带一根鞭子,这样就会少用。
13/24 If you’ve given something a fair trial, and it still doesn‘t work, try something else—even the opposite。
如果用常识还不能解决问题,试点其他的 --- 甚至相反的。
14/24 Know when to start and when to stop。 Know when to resist and when to reward。
明白什么时候应该开始和结束。明白什么情况应该拒绝和奖励。
15/24 If you‘re going to have a fight, you pick the time and place。
如果要跟马较劲,选好时间和地点。
16/24 What you can‘t accomplish in an hour should usually be putoff until tomorrow。
正常情况下,用一个小时都做不到的事,应该放到明天。
17/24 You can think your way out of many problems faster than you can ride your way out of them。
想象力解决问题的速度比骑马解决快不少。
18/24 When the horse jumps, you go with it, not the other way around。
当马跳起时,人跟着。不能拧着来。
19/24 Don‘t let over-jumping or dull routine erode the horse‘s desire to jump cleanly。 It’s hard to jump clear rounds if the horse isn‘t trying。
别让过度训练和无聊的日常把马的热情磨没。当马已经不在乎打杆的时候,想要0罚分就很难了。
20/24 Never give up until the rail hits the ground。
障碍杆落地前绝不要放弃。
21/24 Young horses are like children—give them a lot of love, but don‘t let them get away with anything。
年轻马就跟小孩一样 — 用十分去爱护,但不可容忍他们的坏毛病。
22/24 In practice, do things as perfectly as you can; in competition, do what you have to do。
训练时追求完美,比赛时追求完整。
23/24 Never fight the oats。
永远不要跟燕麦较劲。
24/24 The harder you work, the luckier you get。
越努力,就越幸运。
