| Sporting philosophy / motto |
"You have to be patient with the horses and not enter too many big classes when they are young. Every horse and every situation is different, so you find the answers through the experience you gain through the years of bringing up horses. Sometimes less is more, you must have patience, belief, and trust in what you do." (noellefloyd.com, 04 Nov 2017) |
