To take time, again and again, 
to go over my daily interactions 
with the horses in my thoughts 
-- to take a kind of mental inventory 
in which I ask myself:

What exactly am I doing and why?

This regular check-up becomes particularly important 
as the work with horses becomes routine. 
We humans easily become set in our ways.

"That was always this way." 
"This won’t work any other way."
...

Who inspects my work?
Who supervises me?
My horse.
