If I heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times from Ray Hunt. He said 'make the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy'. Then he said 'but don’t make the wrong thing impossible'. Well.....you learn from making mistakes. It’s that simple.

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

I don't want the horse to get trained, because training the horse is absolutely finite. But if you get the horse to where he operates as if to be your legs, an extension of you, you've far-exceeded that whole training notion.

There have been so many times over the years where people have said "Man, I thought I was just coming to this deal to get a little handier with my horse" and I'll say "Well, in the beginning, I thought that's all you were coming for too. But it turns out it's about something else."

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

The horse can just be a great vehicle for some people to overcome things in their life that they might not be able to overcome otherwise.

The horse saved my life, so that's kind of why I'll spend the rest of mine trying to help them.
