Controlling your emotions is the biggest challenge for a horseman.

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.

With the horse I always consider that if I do too much in too little time and I'm not patient, he's gonna shut down and I won't get anything done.

Don't get on a horse that's moving.

The horse is so honest.... they live in the moment. And what they do, whether they need to protect themselves or whether they need to accept you really is directly relative to how you make them feel.

Horses are very sensitive and perceptive. You don't have to be physical with them.

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.

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.

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

On a horse there is a perfect position of balance where he doesn't feel like he's pushing you along with him or dragging you along with him. It's like two converging currents in a river, where those currents converge, there is a point where there is no movement, no energy and that's what you're thinking when you're on the back of a horse.

Horses are incredibly forgiving. They fill in places we're not capable of filling ourselves.

If you miss the beginning, the basics, then you are destined to go back and visit the basics.

I just spend my life driving down the road, training horses and helping people.
Buck Brannaman
Image
Simply put I'm trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it.

Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often.

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.

Solutions to problems often come from knowing when to ask for help.

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.
