25.01.2022 "Dont present things that are too hard to learn, dont be arrogant. Allow the horse to learn in his own way. This takes discipline and maybe that will be the h...ardest thing for you. When youre riding, try to do more by doing less and less. You have to be on the spot every moment because thats where the horse is. Dont worry, hell teach you if you let him. Fix it up and let it work. Turning loose means that when you reach for him, he softens. That goes for you too. It should be like silk all the way," he says, then turns his horse to go. He pauses. "Its hard to teach what Ive been talking about all week because the first thing you need to know is the last thing youll learn. But I can tell you this: when you get to square ten, all of square one will be in it." - Ray Hunt. Ray's quote is from an article called ' Ray Hunt: The Cowboy Sage' written by Gretel Ehrlich which appeared in the Shambhala Sun, July 1998 - http://www.shambhalasun.com/index.php Image of Ray is by Ron Volmershausen and was taken in Branxton, NSW, Australia.

24.01.2022 You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink!
24.01.2022 hmmm I knew they planned that sh!t
23.01.2022 Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often. - Buck Brannaman
20.01.2022 A great talk by Simon Sinek. This is what I like to try and do with my horses - get them to feeling safe and comfortable.
20.01.2022 "A young man was talking to a very successful, older man..........and he asked him, 'How is it that you've come to have such good judgement?' The older man said..., 'From experience'. The young man waited for him to continue, but when the old man didn't, the young man finally asked him, 'Well, where does experience come from?' The older man said, 'From bad judgement.' If you misjudge, but you benefit from that experience and learn what-not-to-do the next time, you'll develop better judgement.'" - Tom Dorrance. See more
18.01.2022 "If youre not willing to go back every day and start over, you shouldnt have started to begin with, because you might have to start over a lot of days in a ro...w before it carries over from one day to the next, or one month to the next or one year to the next. I could start over 500 days in a row and it doesnt bother me a bit. Im going to be the same guy at the beginning of the day each day as what I was the day before. Not everybody has that in them. I often tell people that it doesnt make any difference to me where I start my day, it makes a difference to me where I finish my day. Did I leave things a little better off than how I started? It doesnt have to be perfect, but if its just a little better off than how I started, I got along just fine." - Buck Brannaman See more
17.01.2022 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 from the book, "True Unity"

14.01.2022 "When you are trying to help the horse to learn how to get started (moving); do anything that you can to help him try to get in a position that will help him ge...t the rest of himself together - body, feet & legs - so that he can shift his weight in order to move the proper foot (or the proper set of feet) at the proper time." - Tom Dorrance.

14.01.2022 Its the control of the feet through the mind that a person [should be] after. If youve missed that on the ground, [from] the start, why youve missed the par...t that means the most to the horse. The person should be focused on getting the best possible connection with the horse on the ground - through feel - if they want to have those parts of the horse available to them when they ride." - Bill Dorrance See more
14.01.2022 "As far as horses go; people will ask about one breed versus another. I have to tell you, I really don't have any prejudice one way or another. I treat every ho...rse at face value, how he/she is as an individual. That's the cool thing about horses.......they don't have prejudice. They don't care if you're tall or thin or if you're dark or if you're light, or if you're rich or you're poor, if you're handsome or not so handsome. They don't care about that. They care about how you make them feel and if that's the only damn lesson that someone has learned from horses..........they'd be way ahead of the game." - Buck Brannaman.

13.01.2022 "Sometimes a horse will put up the greatest resistance just before he comes through. I call it 'the darkest hour before the dawn'. When the horse has tried all ...the avenues of his natural instinct of self-preservation and puts up its greatest resistance; is when people will usually give-up or get mad. If they would just be patient, the horse is about to come around.'" - Tom Dorrance. See more
13.01.2022 "The horse is a mirror. It goes deep into the body. When I see your horse I see you too. It shows me everything you are, everything about the horse. I try to fa...ce life for what it is. Theres heartache, but its a good thing. Im trying to save the horses life and your life too. The human is so good at war. He knows how to fight. But making peace, boy, thats the hardest thing for a human. But once you start giving, you wont believe how much you get back." - Ray Hunt. See more
12.01.2022 "It may seem like you will never get anything accomplished, but sometimes going slow is the quickest way to get there." - Tom Dorrance from the book, "True Unity" (Photo by Cappy Jackson)
10.01.2022 "Its not surprising that people think that, instead of helping the horse understand, they have to MAKE him do things. Its the making part that causes people to use a lot of unnecessary firmness, which is exactly what those horses cant understand." - Bill Dorrance.
07.01.2022 "There are times you can set it up so that if it is just right, the horse can give it to himself with quite a lot of meaning - so that he will respond to it phy...sically at that time. Then, mentally, he won't forget about what happened to him physically......and mentally he will start thinking about responding. When he does; these little things won't irritate him. His ears will be looking for somewhere to go." - Tom Dorrance From the book 'True Unity' by Tom Dorrance, available from here - http://www.tomdorrance.com/
07.01.2022 "With anyone who has had some success, whether it is everyday work or in the show ring, there are a few things that work - that fit well. They hit in those thin...gs, but there are all these other opportunities, all around, that they don't seem to realize exist. They try to get these high spots to carry them over the weak spots and they just kind of 'fill-in' everywhere else." - Tom Dorrance Tom's quote is from his book titled 'True Unity, which is available from here - http://www.tomdorrance.com/
04.01.2022 We would just like to say thank you to all the attendees at last weekend's horsemanship clinic hosted by Scater. it was great being able to help a few people with their horses. Thanks to Carmel Penny for putting it all together.
