The horse is a great equalizer, he doesn't care how good looking you are, or how rich you are or how powerful you are-- he takes you for how you make him feel.
Buck BrannamanItโs not about how much pressure you put on, itโs how good you are at taking it off.
Buck BrannamanSomeone who doesn't know anything about the ways of the horse could be fooled into thinking the approach is all cosmic or mystical. It's not. Anybody can do it who has a passion to do it and has put in enough time. These people are horsemen and horsewomen, not whisperers.
Buck BrannamanOnce you have seen quality horsemanship and are exposed to the things you can do to help a horse be gentle and dependable, then why wouldn't you do those things? No matter what your horse's age, you are going to try to offer him the best that you can. If you adjust what you are doing, he will adjust too; horses have an amazing capacity to make changes. There is always hope.
Buck BrannamanAll your horse looks for is the thing that matters most, peace and contentment. Give it to him.
Buck BrannamanThere's an ancient bond that still exists today between horses and humans, it is even there with people that have never ridden a horse or been around horses. The horse is what settled the entire west. If it werenโt for the horse theyโd probably be only a couple hundred miles from where they started. A lot of people donโt realize how much they owe the horse because itโs not so much a part of our culture right now as it used to be.
