I learned why 'out riding alone' is an oxymoron: An equestrian is never alone, is always sensing the other being, the mysterious but also understandable living being that is the horse.

Summary

This quote illustrates the profound connection between a rider and their horse. It suggests that even when riding alone, the equestrian is never truly isolated because they are constantly aware of the presence and essence of their horse. The quote implies that this relationship goes beyond mere companionship and extends into a deep understanding and communication between the rider and their equine counterpart, making the concept of being alone while riding contradictory.
