More quotes by 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
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
They say nerves heal real slowly. Lots of things about us heal real slowly.
Buck Brannaman
The horse needs to respect you, but sometimes people confuse respect & fear. And they're not the same at all.
Buck Brannaman
I'm still on the move, I'm getting better because I'm still studying. I still want to be a better horseman.
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
I take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.

There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.
Buck Brannaman
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.
Buck Brannaman
Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do.
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
Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often.
Buck Brannaman
It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.
Buck Brannaman
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.
Buck Brannaman
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
Don't get on a horse that's moving.
Buck Brannaman
Your Horse is a mirror to your soul.
Buck Brannaman
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
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
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.
