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

I take the horsemanship very seriously and I treat it with the same integrity that one would any of the fine arts.

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

Once 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.

In life, we don't know why things happen. I believe God is not responsible for the bad things that happen to you. Sometimes I think He's responsible for the good things, but sometimes it's something you shape up for yourself.

A lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, I'm helping horses with people problems.

If I heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times from Ray Hunt. He said 'make the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy'. Then he said 'but don’t make the wrong thing impossible'. Well.....you learn from making mistakes. It’s that simple.
