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.

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.

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.

You can't think of everything in life your horse might encounter that might make him afraid so you'd better prepare em for it in other ways.

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.

If I heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times from Ray Hunt. He said 'make the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy'. Then he said 'but don’t make the wrong thing impossible'. Well.....you learn from making mistakes. It’s that simple.

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.

My work is my play. I found a way to make my passion to be the same as how I make a living.

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.

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.

I just spend my life driving down the road, training horses and helping people.

I take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.

You can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.

I'm still on the move, I'm getting better because I'm still studying. I still want to be a better horseman.

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

It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.

A lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, I'm helping horses with people problems.
