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

It's a matter of timing and of patience. Although it may seem nothing is happening on the surface, there may yet be profound changes occurring a little deeper. Waiting isn't bad.

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

I often tell people that I truly want the horse to be my feet and legs. I want to be an extension of the horse and him to be an extension of me. That's what I'm always working toward when I'm on a horse.

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

There is something in the human psyche that there is a connection between horses and humans, a real special kind of a thing, and I guess it’s always been there. I hope it will always be there, I hope we don’t evolve past that.

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.
