Whether it's horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn't become an art until your soul goes into what you do.

I often tell people in the clinics, the human possesses the one thing that means more to the horse than anything in the world, and that is peace and comfort.

You try to do as little as you can, but you need to do as much as is necessary to get a result. When you get a result, you do less.

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.

If the human isn’t responsible for their role in the horse human relationship, horses just don’t get along very well. So that’s why I say it’s all about the human meeting the bill to fit the horse in any given situation. But don’t expect the horse to always fit the human.

My teachers used to tell me you need to learn to adjust to fit the situation. Don't just do what you've always done because it might not always work.

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