More quotes by Buck Brannaman
Timing is everything.
Buck Brannaman
You can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.
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
Controlling your emotions is the biggest challenge for a horseman.
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
When you're younger, you ride with 90% physical and 10% mental. But if you could learn how to use 90% mental and 10% physical you'd be better off.
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
Your Horse is a mirror to your soul.
Buck Brannaman
A lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, I'm helping horses with people problems.
Buck Brannaman
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.
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
There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.
Buck Brannaman
Nobody has to lose for me to succeed and that is a unique job. Everybody wins, horse wins, people win, I win.
Buck Brannaman
They say nerves heal real slowly. Lots of things about us heal real slowly.
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
My teachers used to tell me you need to learn to adjust to fit the situation. Don't just do what you've always done because it might not always work.
Buck Brannaman
You allow a horse to make mistakes, the horse will learn from mistakes no different than the human. But you can't get him to where he dreads making mistakes for fear of what's going to happen after he does.
Buck Brannaman
Don't get on a horse that's moving.
Buck Brannaman
Horses and life, it's all the same to me.
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.
