You have to plan ahead so that rather then seek revenge for the horse's misbehavior, you see his aggressive behavior shaping up and can redirect it. You change his mind before he's acted and move on to something else.

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

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

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

Horses are incredibly forgiving. They fill in places we're not capable of filling ourselves.
Buck Brannaman
Horses and life, it's all the same to me.

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.

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.

It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.
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
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
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.
Buck Brannaman
The comforting thing to the horse is, is as you become more and more accurate, he knows you’re aware of him, and pretty soon because of that he’s aware of you more and more of the time.
Buck Brannaman
The road may bend out of sight at times, but I know what lies ahead: the faraway horses.
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
You can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.
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.

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.

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
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.
