It is all about the quality of the communication, not the quantity.

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.

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

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

I don't want the horse to get trained, because training the horse is absolutely finite. But if you get the horse to where he operates as if to be your legs, an extension of you, you've far-exceeded that whole training notion.

The horse is a mirror to your soul... and sometimes you might not like what you see in the mirror.

It’s amazing what a healing effect horses can have on kids, particularly troubled kids, that might bridge the gap that a well-intended human just can’t do.
