Riding:The dialogue between two bodies and two souls aimed at establishing perfect harmony between them.

We are fallible. We certainly haven’t attained perfection. But we can strive for it, and the virtue is in the striving.

Let your idea become the horse‘s idea.
Ray Hunt

Feel the whole Horse: When I observe people and horses, it often seems to me that when the horse is trying to avoid something, or maybe is not doing what the rider asks of him, it is because the horse’s sense of self preservation is immediately taking effect. This may seem as though the horse does not want to cooperate. But the rider needs to recognize the whole horse; the horse has basic need for self preservation.
Tom Dorrance
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
In working with people and trying to help them with something, I find it isn’t easy for me to get them to work in the area where it seems they need to work. They keep trying to work at the end result.
Tom Dorrance
The goal is not to raise the neck, it is to lower the hips.
