A lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, I'm helping horses with people problems.

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

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.

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.

My horse needs to be quiet enough not to draw my attention. You want your horse always aware of you. Be aware of your horse! Fidgeting? Direct that! Think of it as a gift. Do something with that energy; redirect it or it will be a negative. Don't let your horse check-out. A horse wants peace. Trade movement for peace.

Nobody has to lose for me to succeed and that is a unique job. Everybody wins, horse wins, people win, I win.

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