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.

I don't want the horse to get trained, because training the horse is absolutely finite. But if you get the horse to where he operates as if to be your legs, an extension of you, you've far-exceeded that whole training notion.

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

Horses are very sensitive and perceptive. You don't have to be physical with them.

I’m just trying to get people to understand horses. You have to be consistent and logical, use your brain, and not be emotional and not lose your temper.

Nobody has to lose for me to succeed and that is a unique job. Everybody wins, horse wins, people win, I win.

With the horse I always consider that if I do too much in too little time and I'm not patient, he's gonna shut down and I won't get anything done.
