Failed IT Project? Buy a Horse

During the aforementioned conversation with Michel in Gradingnan, the other conclusion that we quickly drew was that sport at any decent level quickly becomes more about what you feel, rather than just the simple execution of a series of physical actions. Furthermore the best teachers are those who can even describe to you in a language you understand what you should be feeling (not just doing) at any particular moment. No matter how much I would like to make it into a clearly repeatable process for which a clear methodology could be written, riding is a lot to do with reacting to what you are feeling, which also includes sensing what your horse is thinking and feeling as well. Obviously these human/equine feelings change every minute of every day. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why so many IT projects fail....too much process and not enough horses. More about that when I get to EMC....
