By the time you’ve had a relationship with a horse for a while, there are characteristics in the way the horse behaves with you and around you and responds to you that are directly (related) to some of your traits as a human being…whether it’s insecurity or aggression or fear or hate.

One of the biggest challenges of a horsemen is to be able tot control your emotions.

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.

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

Once I get the horse where he’s responding and working for ya and has a good frame of mind and a good attitude, it’s not just the horse that needs fixing. It’s the human that needs fixing and it’s the human that created that in the first place.

Solutions to problems often come from knowing when to ask for help.

Whether one was going to have a horse, or a dog, or a child, with that comes a great responsibility to raise them.
