Horses don’t think the same as humans. Something that’s most unique about the horse, that I love, is not what he possesses but what he doesn’t possess. And that is greed, spite, hate, jealousy, envy, prejudice. The horse doesn’t possess any of those things. If you think about people, the least desirable people to be around usually possess some or all of those things. And the way God made the horse, he left that out.

Every time you interact with a horse, you are teaching the horse.

Horses are very keen on body language, and what I refer to as “presence”, and expression. They know quite a bit about you before you ever get to ‘em. They can read things about you clear across an arena.

There are no problem horses, only problem riders.

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

You can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.

Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do.
