Horses react appropriately while waiting for the human to get it right.

I had been riding horses before my memory kicked in, so my life with horses had no beginning. It simply appeared from the fog of infancy. I survived a difficult childhood by traveling on the backs of horses, and in adulthood the pattern didn't change.

Always work to cause your horse to follow the path of least resistance. Then place an opening for him to pass through so that the path of least resistance becomes the direction you want him to go in.

When training young horses "There are many types of bits for many different disciplines, but the severity of ALL bits lies in the hands holding them."

The greatest strength a man can achieve is gentleness.

I cannot imagine my life without horses. They have been my teachers, my friends, my business partners and my entertainment.

Horses are our silent partners. When we learn their language. This partnership grows strong.
