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.

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.

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.

When you first get started, you're the only one with a vision. When you become creative and use your imagination, pretty soon the things you imagined, you can get done. If you got a taste of it, if you got a taste of what I'm talking about, you'd rather do that than eat. You couldn't get enough of it. You'll hunger for it the rest of your life.

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
They say nerves heal real slowly. Lots of things about us heal real slowly.

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.

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
One of the biggest challenges of a horsemen is to be able tot control your emotions.
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
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.

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

You don't have contempt for a horse that's troubled. Everybody has baggage, everybody has things that they've had to deal with in their life, and it can be something positive depending on how you use it.
Buck Brannaman
Nobody has to lose for me to succeed and that is a unique job. Everybody wins, horse wins, people win, I win.
