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.

More quotes by 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
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
Nobody has to lose for me to succeed and that is a unique job. Everybody wins, horse wins, people win, I win.
Buck Brannaman
Like Tom Dorrance said, ‘It boiled down to one thing: observe, remember, and compare.’ Do something, observe what you did, remember what you did, compare it to what you were doing before, and adjust.
Buck Brannaman
Don't get on a horse that's moving.
Buck Brannaman
The horse responds to comfort, they respond to peace better than about anything else you could do. All he wants you to do is just leave him alone. So if the horse responds to you and you give him a little peace and comfort that means more to him than anything.
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
My work is my play. I found a way to make my passion to be the same as how I make a living.

The horse needs to respect you, but sometimes people confuse respect & fear. And they're not the same at all.
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
Horses aren't lazy and they're not greedy and they're not jealous and they're not spiteful, they're not hateful. They're not that way. But the human can sometimes only describe a horse in the way that they view other human beings.
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
Solutions to problems often come from knowing when to ask for help.
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
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.
Buck Brannaman
Simply put I'm trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it.
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
Horses are incredibly forgiving. They fill in places we're not capable of filling ourselves.
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.
Buck Brannaman
I just spend my life driving down the road, training horses and helping people.
