Once I get the horse where he’s responding and working for ya and has a good frame of mind and a good attitude, it’s not just the horse that needs fixing. It’s the human that needs fixing and it’s the human that created that in the first place.

You can't make something happen with a horse, but you can fix things up and let it happen.

When you're younger, you ride with 90% physical and 10% mental. But if you could learn how to use 90% mental and 10% physical you'd be better off.

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

There's a difference between mastering something physical and working with an animal. There's a spiritual component to working with a horse. You're dealing with the spirit of a live animal that thinks and makes decisions.

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