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.

It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.
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.

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
You can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.
Buck Brannaman
A lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, I'm helping horses with people problems.
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.

Like Tom Dorrance said, ‘It boiled down to one thing: observe, remember, and compare.’ Do something, observe what you did, remember what you did, compare it to what you were doing before, and adjust.
Buck Brannaman
Theoretically, the human is supposed to be the smart one. Well, if we are, then we need to be able to adjust to fit the situation rather than just think Well this is how you work with horses. I've done this on 500 just like 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
There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.
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
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.
Buck Brannaman
In nature this animal would have nothing to do with you. Natural horsemanship is just words. It's not natural at all. There's an abundance of trust that must be developed for you. Imagine if humans were that pliable.
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 often tell people in the clinics, the human possesses the one thing that means more to the horse than anything in the world, and that is peace and comfort.
Buck Brannaman
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
When you first get started, you're the only one with a vision. When you become creative and use your imagination, pretty soon the things you imagined, you can get done. If you got a taste of it, if you got a taste of what I'm talking about, you'd rather do that than eat. You couldn't get enough of it. You'll hunger for it the rest of your life.
Buck Brannaman
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.
Buck Brannaman
The horse needs to respect you, but sometimes people confuse respect & fear. And they're not the same at all.
