With the horse I always consider that if I do too much in too little time and I'm not patient, he's gonna shut down and I won't get anything done.

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.

You can't look forward and backward at the same time...........so I choose to look forward.

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.

That absolute pure honesty of the horse, man that's just the greatest thing there is

Gentle in what you do, Firm in how you do it

It’s amazing what a healing effect horses can have on kids, particularly troubled kids, that might bridge the gap that a well-intended human just can’t do.
