The first time he saw Seabiscuit, the colt was walking through the fog at five in the morning. Smith would say later that the horse looked right through him. As if to say, "What the hell are you looking at? Who do you think you are?" He was a small horse, barely fifteen hands. He was hurting too. There was a limp in his walk, a wheezing when he breathed. Smith didn't pay attention to that. He was looking the horse in the eye. -Narrator in Seabiscuit

-Narrator in Seabiscuit

You know the OLD saying…

You canlead a horse to water…

But you

can’t make

him drink!

Nice saying,

BUT…what does it get you?

A

DEAD horse!

Is my horse

LAZY?

Is my horse

SICK?

Is my horse

LOST?

Maybe…

The water is

BAD?

Maybe…

The water seems

SO FAR AWAY?

Maybe…

My horse didn’t

HEAR…

Opportunity

KNOCKING?

Maybe…

He is on the wrong road.

She hasn’t been successful before…

He is tired…

She has other responsibilities…

Why

won’t

my

horse

drink?

Did I demonstrate

a clear

path?

Did I check for barriers?

Did I limitdistractions?

Do I celebratesuccesses?

"Well I think we just gave him a chance. Sometimes all somebody needs is a good chance."
