Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in human
services, we often try other strategies with dead horses,
including the following:
![Page 30: Scaling the Cliff: Helping VR Clients Receiving SSDI Achieve SGA WEB: PROJECT H235L100004 IS FUNDED BY RSA,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b947f8b9ab0599c2fc6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
* Saying things like “This is the way we have always ridden this horse.” or from a Native American Tribal Saying:
"If we don't turn around now, we just may get where we're going."

* Appointing a committee to study the horse. * Harnessing several dead horses together for greater performance * Providing additional funding to increase the horse’s performance * Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses
![Page 32: Scaling the Cliff: Helping VR Clients Receiving SSDI Achieve SGA WEB: PROJECT H235L100004 IS FUNDED BY RSA,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b947f8b9ab0599c2fc6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
* Increasing the standards to ride dead horses * Creating a training session to increase our riding ability * Changing the requirements; declaring “this horse is not dead.” * Declaring the horse is “better, faster and cheaper” dead * Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position

If a third person calls you a jackass- get a saddle.
