One of the biggest challenges of a horsemen is to be able tot control your emotions.

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

When riding, ask yourself what will my horse get out of it if I get what I want? Many times, human nature is to take and to not give anything back.

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

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.

I've started horses since I was 12 years old and have been bit, kicked, bucked off and run over. I've tried every physical means to contain my horse in an effort to keep from getting myself killed. I started to realize that things would come much easier for me once I learned why a horse does what he does.

Gentle in what you do, Firm in how you do it
