More quotes by Buck Brannaman
Someone who doesn't know anything about the ways of the horse could be fooled into thinking the approach is all cosmic or mystical. It's not. Anybody can do it who has a passion to do it and has put in enough time. These people are horsemen and horsewomen, not whisperers.
Buck Brannaman
The horse is so honest.... they live in the moment. And what they do, whether they need to protect themselves or whether they need to accept you really is directly relative to how you make them feel.
Buck Brannaman
I just spend my life driving down the road, training horses and helping people.
Buck Brannaman
It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.
Buck Brannaman
When riding, ask yourself what will my horse get out of it if I get what I want? Many times, human nature is to take and to not give anything back.
Buck Brannaman
With the horse I always consider that if I do too much in too little time and I'm not patient, he's gonna shut down and I won't get anything done.
Buck Brannaman
On a horse there is a perfect position of balance where he doesn't feel like he's pushing you along with him or dragging you along with him. It's like two converging currents in a river, where those currents converge, there is a point where there is no movement, no energy and that's what you're thinking when you're on the back of a horse.
Buck Brannaman
I'm still on the move, I'm getting better because I'm still studying. I still want to be a better horseman.
Buck Brannaman
With a horse, if you make it easy for him to do the right thing, that's what he will logically do, but it's not necessarily true with the human. You will see humans that will beat their heads against the wall rather than open the door and walk through it.
Buck Brannaman
Anytime you are with a horse, no matter if you are a daily rider or one who just gets a chance to ride to the mailbox, you are interacting with your horse. It is all about the quality of the communication, not the quantity. Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often.
Buck Brannaman
They say nerves heal real slowly. Lots of things about us heal real slowly.
Buck Brannaman
There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.
Buck Brannaman
The comforting thing to the horse is, is as you become more and more accurate, he knows you’re aware of him, and pretty soon because of that he’s aware of you more and more of the time.
Buck Brannaman
There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.
Buck Brannaman
Horses are incredibly forgiving. They fill in places we're not capable of filling ourselves.
Buck Brannaman
You can't look forward and backward at the same time...........so I choose to look forward.
Buck Brannaman
The horse can just be a great vehicle for some people to overcome things in their life that they might not be able to overcome otherwise.
Buck Brannaman
You try to do as little as you can, but you need to do as much as is necessary to get a result. When you get a result, you do less.
Buck Brannaman
Your Horse is a mirror to your soul.
Buck Brannaman
I started to realize that things would come much easier for me once I learned why a horse does what he does. This method works well for me because of the kinship that develops between horse and rider.
