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.

More quotes by Buck Brannaman
I just spend my life driving down the road, training horses and helping people.
Buck Brannaman
Controlling your emotions is the biggest challenge for a horseman.
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
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
Some guys make their careers off one horse kind of a trick horse, a wonder horse. I'm not knocking that, but for me I'm trying to get better and study. That means taking out new horses. It's a life study. When I've finished a horse, I turn him out and basically stop riding him, except taking him to the occasional branding so I can enjoy him.
Buck Brannaman
They say nerves heal real slowly. Lots of things about us heal real slowly.
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 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
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
With a horse, if you make it easy for him to do the right thing, that's what he will logically do, but it's not necessarily true with the human. You will see humans that will beat their heads against the wall rather than open the door and walk through it.
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
You can't look forward and backward at the same time...........so I choose to look forward.
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
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
My work is my play. I found a way to make my passion to be the same as how I make a living.
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
Nobody has to lose for me to succeed and that is a unique job. Everybody wins, horse wins, people win, I win.
Buck Brannaman
Timing is everything.
Buck Brannaman
There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.
Buck Brannaman
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.
