Stage 4 of 4
The partnership
What the work turns into: the disciplines you might take up, and the length of the road you are on together.
Somewhere past the daily round, a horse stops being an animal you keep and becomes one you know. This stage is about what that looks like — the disciplines people give their weekends to, and the plain arithmetic of how long a horse is likely to be with you.
What to read first
The whole road
There is no stage after this one. The full path runs from dreaming of horses through to the partnership.
