Let your idea become the horse‘s idea.
Ray Hunt
The horse is doing one of two things: he’s doing what he thinks he’s supposed to do, or he’s doing what he thinks he has to do to survive.
Ray Hunt
The horse is a reflection of the rider‘s ability.
Ray Hunt
Make the wrong thing difficult, and the right thing easy.
Ray Hunt
Ride your horse with your whole body, not just with your arms and legs.
Ray Hunt
The greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fall.
Confucius
I’m still on the move, I’m getting better because I’m still studying. I still want to be a better horseman.
Buck Brannaman
The secret in riding is to do few things right. The more one does, the less one succeeds. The less one does, the more one succeeds.
Nuno Oliveira
Training a horse is above all feeling and trying, according to what you feel, to help the horse and not to force him.
Nuno Oliveira
As the blind person touches the object before him very softly and lightly with his fingertips in order not to interfere with the work of the sensitive nerve ends by too much pressure, so it is the rider’s first obligation to keep soft and natural those parts of his body with which he feels his horse.
