The comforting thing to the horse is, is as you become more and more accurate, he knows youโre aware of him, and pretty soon because of that heโs aware of you more and more of the time.
Buck BrannamanMy teachers used to tell me you need to learn to adjust to fit the situation. Don't just do what you've always done because it might not always work.
Buck BrannamanWhen riding, ask yourself what will my horse get out of it if I get what I want? Many times, human nature is to take and to not give anything back.

Buck BrannamanSome guys make their careers off one horse; kind of a trick horse, a wonder horse. I'm not knocking that, but for me I'm trying to get better and study. That means taking out new horses. It's a life study. When I've finished a horse, I turn him out and basically stop riding him, except taking him to the occasional branding so I can enjoy him.
