There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn't have done.

I don't believe in waiting for a horse to do the wrong thing and then punishing him after the fact. You can't just say no to a horse. You have to redirect a negative behavior with a positive one, something that works for both of you. It's as though you're saying - instead of doing that, we can do this together.

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.

Everything you do with a horse is a dance.

My work is my play. I found a way to make my passion to be the same as how I make a living.

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.

It’s not about how much pressure you put on, it’s how good you are at taking it off.
