My daughter's all grown up now compared to what she was, but I used to say, Iโve got to have my horse to where if sheโs leading my horse somewhere, and sheโs got a big armload of Barbies and drops something out of her hand, that son of a buck ought to stop and respect her while sheโs gathering up all her dolls and not to walk on her or take advantage of her. And if Iโve done my work right, by gosh, thatโs what theyโll do.
Buck BrannamanWhen you find that the horse is compelled and interested in you, something in you changes. That can be healing or move you deeply.
Buck BrannamanWith 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 BrannamanThe horse seems to wanna please the human and so many times if the human isnโt much of a leader well then the horse has gotta do itโs own thinking. The horse isnโt really designed very well to be the leader but just because the horse is responding to ya, I donโt really think of it as it succumbing to you. I think itโs more of the horse sort of joining you, being more of a partner.
