The horse is a gift to us, to humanity. And for that, there comes responsibility. If the horse is gonna work for you and work with you, then the best thing I can do for the horse is to make it as good a life possible.

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

My expertise lies in what I've devoted my life to. I wouldn't pretend to be a great gift to any other animal. My interest has always been in the horses.

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

The horse seems to wanna please the human and so many times if the human isn’t much of a leader well then the horse has gotta do it’s own thinking. The horse isn’t really designed very well to be the leader but just because the horse is responding to ya, I don’t really think of it as it succumbing to you. I think it’s more of the horse sort of joining you, being more of a partner.

The horse needs to respect you, but sometimes people confuse respect & fear. And they're not the same at all.

Horses are incredibly forgiving. They fill in places we're not capable of filling ourselves.
