More quotes by Buck Brannaman
A lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, I'm helping horses with people problems.
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
Your Horse is a mirror to your soul.
Buck Brannaman
You can accomplish amazing things with this if you have a passion and you work hard - I just think it’s a cop out to say 'I wasn’t born with this, so it’s OK if I fail'. You can make up the difference with hard work and devotion.

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
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
The horse responds to comfort, they respond to peace better than about anything else you could do. All he wants you to do is just leave him alone. So if the horse responds to you and you give him a little peace and comfort that means more to him than anything.

It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.
Buck Brannaman
There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.
Buck Brannaman
Whether one was going to have a horse, or a dog, or a child, with that comes a great responsibility to raise them.
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
Most people think of a feel as when you touch something or someone and what it feels like to your fingers but, a feel can have a thousand different definitions. Sometimes feel is a mental thing. Sometimes feel can happen clear ‘cross the arena. Sort of an invitation from the horse to come to you.
Buck Brannaman
There have been so many times over the years where people have said Man, I thought I was just coming to this deal to get a little handier with my horse and I'll say Well, in the beginning, I thought that's all you were coming for too. But it turns out it's about something else.
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
Every time you interact with a horse, you are teaching the horse.
Buck Brannaman
You have to plan ahead so that rather then seek revenge for the horse's misbehavior, you see his aggressive behavior shaping up and can redirect it. You change his mind before he's acted and move on to something else.
Buck Brannaman
Simply put I'm trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it.
Buck Brannaman
Horses and life, it's all the same to me.
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
The road may bend out of sight at times, but I know what lies ahead: the faraway horses.
