The horse needs to respect you, but sometimes people confuse respect & fear. And they're not the same at all.

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.

You can't think of everything in life your horse might encounter that might make him afraid so you'd better prepare em for it in other ways.

A horse can have a job and not be a slave. He can look forward to it and enjoy it. That's the same for me.

I'm still on the move, I'm getting better because I'm still studying. I still want to be a better horseman.

You get that horse to really operate as if he’s your legs and you can take that anywhere you want. You can dress up in any kind of clothes you like. You can be a jumper, dressage rider, trail rider, cowboy, anything.

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.
