You might measure your approach to a horse the same way as your approach to people because there are going to be some horses, like some people, who might be inclined to tune you out.

You can't look forward and backward at the same time...........so I choose to look forward.

I take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.

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.

I realized that there are some things about all of us, no matter where we're from, that we are connected and we are all still humans, and we are all still looking for the same sort of contentment in our life in one way or another. Some people are searching a little harder than others, granted. But we're not so different.

Anytime you are with a horse, no matter if you are a daily rider or one who just gets a chance to ride to the mailbox, you are interacting with your horse. It is all about the quality of the communication, not the quantity. Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often.

There are no problem horses, only problem riders.
