"Horses are incredibly perceptive,
and this is their first similarity
to human beings.
They have taught me that if I enter
that barn with a negative attitude,
I am going to get negativity back,
and I am going to be responsible
for setting the mood for my entire day.
So every morning when I enter my
barn, I do so with the same excitement
that should be applied to the beginning
of everyone's day"

"Unjustified punishment leads to
a lack of understanding, in the
case of any living creature, not
just the horse. As a person, you
should always have you negative
emotions under control when
around your horse. Self - control
is a prerequisite for being able
to think clearly. Horses have a fine
sense of a person's mood."

"When I was a kid and I first put my hands on a horse
They touched my soul
They've been a part of me
Way down deep to my core.
And I believe I was born with this love
And just one lifetime wont't be enough"

"Horses have a heap more brains than some folks would like
to give'em credit for; and if they want to be mean they
know how. The same if they want to be good; the kind of
interduction they get with man has a lot to do with it."

"People ask me,'What are horses like?' It's taken me a lifetime
of riding , training, writing and betting to finally home in on an answer.
"Horses are just like people; there are smart ones, dumb ones,
miserable ones, honest ones, simple ones, cheats, freaks, leaders and
laggards. They have good days, bad days and plenty of average
days. They can be brilliant one minute , horrible the next. They
can remember something that happened a year ago and forget
what they learned yesterday. They'll walk placidly into a metal
starting gate that clangs and rings when the door open, and then
be scared of a bucket that wasn't there yesteday.
"And we think we know what's going to happen this afternoon."

"In those days, even before the war had swept up all the young man
from the ranches, there were girls who came through the country
breaking horses. They traveled from ranch to ranch with tow or three
horses they were taling home to break or with horses they had picked
up in trade for work they'd done.....
Those girls sould break horses as well as any man but they had their
own ways of doing it, not such a bucking Wild West show.
They went about it so quiet and deliberate, children would get tired
of watching and go off to do something else."

"A wise person said once that there are two ways to build the tallest building in town.
The first takes effort with constructing a solid foundation, using good material
and doing the work.
The other way is simply and easily
demolosh all the surrounding buildings."
