05 · The method
The morning, hour by hour.
-
05:42
The string leaves before the town wakes.
-
06:15
Every gallop is timed.
-
07:00
But we train the horse, not the stopwatch.
-
08:00
Care takes longer than the gallop.
-
11:00
Rest is work.
06 · The visit
Send us

Come one morning. We'll show you the gallops, the boxes, and the work.
