As a conclusion of these general observations about the course of dressage training I want to add the serious admonition; not to hurry any of the exercises and to let them all follow one another in such a way that the preceding exercise always constitutes a secure basis for the next one.
Gustav Steinbrecht
You’re not working on the horse, you’re working on yourself.
Ray Hunt
Don’t have the tendency to want to hurry and not let the horse find it. You fix and wait for them to find it; then it’s their idea when they move their feet.
Tom Dorrance
You feel and listen to the horse. The experience of the results of his response helps you understand for the next time.

Brutality begins where knowledge ends. Ignorance and compulsion appear simultaneously.
Charles de Kunffy
I’ve always wanted to do the right thing by a horse, that’s never changed, its just that as my knowledge grew I’ve been able to offer the horse a better human being.
Buck Brannaman
You feel and listen to the horse. The experience of the results of his response helps you understand for the next time.
Tom Dorrance
You can ask the horse to do your thing, but you ask him; you offer it to him in a good way. You fix it up and let him find it. You do not make anything happen, no more than you can make a friendship begin.
Ray Hunt
Riding:The dialogue between two bodies and two souls aimed at establishing perfect harmony between them.
Waldemar Seunig
The hands have to be like concrete when the horse resists and like butter when he yields.
