As a rider, you must slowly and methodically show your horse what is appropriate. You also have to discourage what's inappropriate, not by making the inappropriate impossible, but by making it difficult so that the horse himself chooses appropriate behavior. You can't choose it for him; you can only make it difficult for him to make the wrong choices. If, however, you make it impossible for him to make the wrong choices, you're making war.

Timing is everything.

You can't think of everything in life your horse might encounter that might make him afraid so you'd better prepare em for it in other ways.

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

The horse saved my life, so that's kind of why I'll spend the rest of mine trying to help them.

A horse can have a job and not be a slave. He can look forward to it and enjoy it. That's the same for me.

The horse responds to comfort, they respond to peace better than about anything else you could do. All he wants you to do is just leave him alone. So if the horse responds to you and you give him a little peace and comfort that means more to him than anything.
