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

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.

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

The greatest strength a man can achieve is gentleness.

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.

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

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."
