Everything you do with a horse is a dance.

Every time you interact with a horse, you are teaching the horse.

There are things that change all through your life the way you deal with people, the way you approach problems.

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

I’ve always wanted to do the right thing by a horse, that’s never changed, its just that as my knowledge grew I’ve been able to offer the horse a better human being, as time has gone on.

With the horses, you can’t let them call the shot part of the time and then you call the shot part of the time. They’re not really designed to be your leader, but they can be a great partner, but you need to lead, and they need to respect you and respond with respect. Don’t think of respect as a dirty word. You need to respect them as well.

They say nerves heal real slowly. Lots of things about us heal real slowly.
