Simply put I'm trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it.
Buck Brannaman
Theoretically, the human is supposed to be the smart one. Well, if we are, then we need to be able to adjust to fit the situation rather than just think Well this is how you work with horses. I've done this on 500 just like you.
Buck Brannaman
There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.
Buck Brannaman
I take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.
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.

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.

You want your kids to feel happy and good about themselves. The rest they'll work out on their own. You never know what your kids will be drawn to.

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.

Solutions to problems often come from knowing when to ask for help.
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
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
They say nerves heal real slowly. Lots of things about us heal real slowly.
Buck Brannaman
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.
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
Controlling your emotions is the biggest challenge for a horseman.
Buck Brannaman
If you miss the beginning, the basics, then you are destined to go back and visit the basics.
Buck Brannaman
Discipline isn't a dirty word. Far from it. Discipline is the one thing that separates us from chaos and anarchy. Discipline implies timing. It's the precursor to good behavior, and it never comes from bad behavior. People who associate discipline with punishment are wrong: with discipline, punishment is unnecessary.
