“Riders sometimes need to realize that horses need soothing, cuddling and comforting. Sometimes that isn’t too bad for people either. They can use a little bit too.” Tom Dorrance
Great qoute – by Ray Hunt
“When things don’t work out as you’d like them to, then back off and don’t let pride and ego get in the way. The horse doesn’t know how to do what you’re asking. The human labels it ‘He doesn’t WANT to!’. Do not put a time limit on it. Encourage what you’re asking…..to become his idea.'” – Ray Hunt
Great qoute….
Don’t present things that are too hard to learn, don’t be arrogant. Allow the horse to learn in his own way. This takes discipline and maybe that will be the hardest thing for you. When you’re riding, try to do more by doing less and less. You have to be on the spot every moment because that’s where the horse is. Don’t worry, he’ll teach you if you let him. Fix it up and let it work. Turning loose means that when you reach for him, he softens. It should be like silk all the way. – Ray Hunt
