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.

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.

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

The horses are talking ... just listen.

You must somehow understand that we as horsemen can do very little to teach the horse. What we can do is to create an environment in which he can learn.

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