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.

Horses are incredibly forgiving. They fill in places we're not capable of filling ourselves.

There is something in the human psyche that there is a connection between horses and humans, a real special kind of a thing, and I guess it’s always been there. I hope it will always be there, I hope we don’t evolve past that.

The horse is a mirror to your soul... and sometimes you might not like what you see in the mirror.

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

You can accomplish amazing things with this if you have a passion and you work hard - I just think it’s a cop out to say 'I wasn’t born with this, so it’s OK if I fail'. You can make up the difference with hard work and devotion.

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