More quotes by Buck Brannaman
Don't get on a horse that's moving.
Buck Brannaman
There have been so many times over the years where people have said Man, I thought I was just coming to this deal to get a little handier with my horse and I'll say Well, in the beginning, I thought that's all you were coming for too. But it turns out it's about something else.
Buck Brannaman
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.
Buck Brannaman
It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.
Buck Brannaman
I started to realize that things would come much easier for me once I learned why a horse does what he does. This method works well for me because of the kinship that develops between horse and rider.
Buck Brannaman
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.
Buck Brannaman
When you find that the horse is compelled and interested in you, something in you changes. That can be healing or move you deeply.

Timing is everything.
Buck Brannaman
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.
Buck Brannaman
My horse needs to be quiet enough not to draw my attention. You want your horse always aware of you. Be aware of your horse! Fidgeting? Direct that! Think of it as a gift. Do something with that energy redirect it or it will be a negative. Don't let your horse check-out. A horse wants peace. Trade movement for peace.
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
Whether one was going to have a horse, or a dog, or a child, with that comes a great responsibility to raise them.
Buck Brannaman
You try to do as little as you can, but you need to do as much as is necessary to get a result. When you get a result, you do less.
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
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.
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
Simply put I'm trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it.
Buck Brannaman
There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.
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
You can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.
