I'm still on the move, I'm getting better because I'm still studying. I still want to be a better horseman.

You don't have contempt for a horse that's troubled. Everybody has baggage, everybody has things that they've had to deal with in their life, and it can be something positive depending on how you use it.

Image
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.

Controlling your emotions is the biggest challenge for a horseman.

I just spend my life driving down the road, training horses and helping people.

Whether one was going to have a horse, or a dog, or a child, with that comes a great responsibility to raise them.

That's the cool thing about horses - they don't have prejudice. They don't care if you're tall or thin or if you're dark or if you're light, or if you're rich or you're poor, if you're handsome or not so handsome.

It's a matter of timing and of patience. Although it may seem nothing is happening on the surface, there may yet be profound changes occurring a little deeper. Waiting isn't bad.

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.

If you miss the beginning, the basics, then you are destined to go back and visit the basics.

I don't believe in waiting for a horse to do the wrong thing and then punishing him after the fact. You can't just say no to a horse. You have to redirect a negative behavior with a positive one, something that works for both of you. It's as though you're saying - instead of doing that, we can do this together.

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.

Simply put I'm trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it.

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.

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.

There is something in the human psyche that there is a connection between horses and humans, a real special kind of a thing, and I guess it’s always been there. I hope it will always be there, I hope we don’t evolve past that.

The horse needs to respect you, but sometimes people confuse respect & fear. And they're not the same at all.

Image
My expertise lies in what I've devoted my life to. I wouldn't pretend to be a great gift to any other animal. My interest has always been in the horses.

There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.

Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do.
