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

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

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.

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

Everybody ought to be given a chance to do whatever they want, but be responsible for their own actions.

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

For centuries, humans have said to horses, 'You do what I tell you or I'll hurt you.' Humans still say that to each other -- still threaten, force and intimidate. I'm convinced that my discoveries with horses have value in the workplace, in the educational and penal systems, and in the raising of children. At heart, I'm saying that no one else has the right to say 'you must' to an animal -- or to another human.
