Horses aren't lazy and they're not greedy and they're not jealous and they're not spiteful, they're not hateful. They're not that way. But the human can sometimes only describe a horse in the way that they view other human beings.
Buck BrannamanYou can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.
Buck BrannamanI take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.
Buck BrannamanWhen you find that the horse is compelled and interested in you, something in you changes. That can be healing or move you deeply.
Buck BrannamanHorses are consistent and logical. The horse will do what is easiest for him. If you make it easy for him to buck you off, kick you, and run away, thatโs just what heโs going to do. And more power to him. But if you make it easy for the horse to be relaxed and calm and accurate โ and also have it be a beautiful dance between you and the horse โ it wonโt be too long before heโll be hunting for that just as hard as you are. Whatever you make easy for the horse, thatโs what heโs going to get good at.
