When you find that the horse is compelled and interested in you, something in you changes. That can be healing or move you deeply.

A horse that has made a positive change in his behavior needs an opportunity to 'soak', to concentrate on & digest what he has learned. He needs his quiet time. Given this opportunity, his response will be better the next time you work with him.

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.

The road may bend out of sight at times, but I know what lies ahead: the faraway horses.

Gentle in what you do, Firm in how you do it

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

Simply put; I'm trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it.
