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.

When educating horses there is no greater maxim than slow is fast and fast is slow.

The number one worst piece of horsemanship on earth is violence.

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

I want to leave the world a better place for horses and people.

A good trainer can hear a horse speak to him. A great trainer can hear him whisper.

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.
