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.

More quotes by 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.

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.
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
You can't look forward and backward at the same time...........so I choose to look forward.
Buck Brannaman
There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.
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
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
Horses are very sensitive and perceptive. You don't have to be physical with them.
Buck Brannaman
Don't get on a horse that's moving.
Buck Brannaman
Your Horse is a mirror to your soul.
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
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
Anytime you are with a horse, no matter if you are a daily rider or one who just gets a chance to ride to the mailbox, you are interacting with your horse. It is all about the quality of the communication, not the quantity. Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often.

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 can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.
Buck Brannaman
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
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
If you miss the beginning, the basics, then you are destined to go back and visit the basics.

You want your kids to feel happy and good about themselves. The rest they'll work out on their own. You never know what your kids will be drawn to.
