At each stage of work the horse must be taken to his limit, but never over the limit.
Walter Zettl
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
Once the horse gets to responding, then you try to get the response you are asking for with less. You try to cut down what you are applying and get more response with less pressure, until it almost gets to be just a thought.
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
The thing you are trying to help the horse do is to use his own mind. You are trying to present something and then let him figure out how to get there.

The horse will teach you if you‘ll listen.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
