There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.

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.

Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do.

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.

A horse can have a job and not be a slave. He can look forward to it and enjoy it. That's the same for me.

When you see a horse that’s troubled, you sort of feel sorry for them, yet that doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t still ask the horse to behave and find a way to fit in and respond to you as well.

It's a matter of timing and of patience. Although it may seem nothing is happening on the surface, there may yet be profound changes occurring a little deeper. Waiting isn't bad.

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.

Whether one was going to have a horse, or a dog, or a child, with that comes a great responsibility to raise them.

There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.

I take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.

Image
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.

When you find that the horse is compelled and interested in you, something in you changes. That can be healing or move you deeply.

That's the cool thing about horses - they don't have prejudice. They don't care if you're tall or thin or if you're dark or if you're light, or if you're rich or you're poor, if you're handsome or not so handsome.

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.
