My teachers used to tell me you need to learn to adjust to fit the situation. Don't just do what you've always done because it might not always work.

And for a lot of people, they want it all to be fuzzy and warm and cosmic, but it's no different with a horse than with a kid...You can't always be the kid's best friend. First you have to be the parent.

Timing is everything.

All your horse looks for is the thing that matters most, peace and contentment. Give it to him.

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

Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do.

The horse responds to comfort, they respond to peace better than about anything else you could do. All he wants you to do is just leave him alone. So if the horse responds to you and you give him a little peace and comfort that means more to him than anything.
