It's a matter of timing and of patience. Although it may seem nothing is happening on the surface, there may yet be profound changes occurring a little deeper. Waiting isn't bad.
Buck BrannamanTheoretically, the human is supposed to be the smart one. Well, if we are, then we need to be able to adjust to fit the situation rather than just think "Well this is how you work with horses. I've done this on 500 just like you."
Buck BrannamanIf I had a horse buck with me now, Iโm a little disappointed. Itโs not the end of the world, but Iโm a little disappointed if I couldnโt keep the horse out of trouble, whereas it used to be a source of pride, and now itโs sort of source of shame if I let the horse get lost.
Buck BrannamanA lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, I'm helping horses with people problems.
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 BrannamanAnytime 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.
