The road may bend out of sight at times, but I know what lies ahead: the faraway horses.
Buck Brannaman
You can't think of everything in life your horse might encounter that might make him afraid so you'd better prepare em for it in other ways.
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
Don't get on a horse that's moving.
Buck Brannaman
You want your kids to feel happy and good about themselves. The rest they'll work out on their own. You never know what your kids will be drawn to.
Buck Brannaman
When you find that the horse is compelled and interested in you, something in you changes. That can be healing or move you deeply.
Buck Brannaman
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.
Buck Brannaman
I take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.
Buck Brannaman
Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do.
Buck Brannaman
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.
Buck Brannaman
If I heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times from Ray Hunt. He said 'make the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy'. Then he said 'but don’t make the wrong thing impossible'. Well.....you learn from making mistakes. It’s that simple.
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
Discipline isn't a dirty word. Far from it. Discipline is the one thing that separates us from chaos and anarchy. Discipline implies timing. It's the precursor to good behavior, and it never comes from bad behavior. People who associate discipline with punishment are wrong: with discipline, punishment is unnecessary.
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
Horses aren't lazy and they're not greedy and they're not jealous and they're not spiteful, they're not hateful. They're not that way. But the human can sometimes only describe a horse in the way that they view other human beings.
Buck Brannaman
There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.
Buck Brannaman
You get that horse to really operate as if he’s your legs and you can take that anywhere you want. You can dress up in any kind of clothes you like. You can be a jumper, dressage rider, trail rider, cowboy, anything.
Buck Brannaman
Every time you interact with a horse, you are teaching the horse.
Buck Brannaman
My horse needs to be quiet enough not to draw my attention. You want your horse always aware of you. Be aware of your horse! Fidgeting? Direct that! Think of it as a gift. Do something with that energy redirect it or it will be a negative. Don't let your horse check-out. A horse wants peace. Trade movement for peace.
Buck Brannaman
Horses are very sensitive and perceptive. You don't have to be physical with them.
