Let your idea become the horse‘s idea.
Ray Hunt
The horse responds to comfort, they respond to peace better than about anything else you could do. So if the horse responds to you and you give him a little peace and comfort that means more to him than anything.

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 horse is a reflection of the rider‘s ability.
Ray Hunt
When I hear somebody talk about a horse or cow being stupid; I figure it’s a sure sign that the animal has somehow outfoxed them.
Tom Dorrance
The horse knows where the person is all the time. Now we are trying to help the person know where the horse is all the time. The horse knows where the person is; the person needs to learn to catch up with the horse on that.
Tom Dorrance
A lot of people, they want it all to be fuzzy and warm and cosmic, but it’s no different with a horse than with a kid…You can’t always be the kid’s best friend. First you have to be the parent.
Buck Brannaman
Through the years, I have worked with so many riders who have given me their best, their time, their attention and their willing effort. We’ve worked together through these shared experiences that have been so valuable in my search for ways to build greater unity for the horse and the rider.
Tom Dorrance
You feel and listen to the horse. The experience of the results of his response helps you understand for the next time.
Tom Dorrance
Only the rider who is free from any contraction will have a horse equally free from contraction. A team such as this is the ideal.
