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

There are no problem horses, only problem riders.

And for a lot of people, they want it all to be fuzzy and warm and cosmic, but it's no different with a horse than with a kid...You can't always be the kid's best friend. First you have to be the parent.

My work is my play. I found a way to make my passion to be the same as how I make a living.

Anytime you are with a horse, no matter if you are a daily rider or one who just gets a chance to ride to the mailbox, you are interacting with your horse. It is all about the quality of the communication, not the quantity. Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often.

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.

The road may bend out of sight at times, but I know what lies ahead: the faraway horses.
