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
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.
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
Solutions to problems often come from knowing when to ask for help.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
Buck Brannaman
It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.
Buck Brannaman
Don't get on a horse that's moving.
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 are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.
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
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.
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
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
Horses are incredibly forgiving. They fill in places we're not capable of filling ourselves.
Buck Brannaman
I take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.

Timing is everything.
