Buck Brannaman Quotes

When you first get started, you’re the only one with a vision. When you become creative and use your imagination, pretty soon the things you imagined, you can get done. If you got a taste of it, if you got a taste of what I’m talking about, you’d rather do that than eat. You couldn’t get enough of it. You’ll hunger for it the rest of your life Picture Quote #1

Kind of where you end up your ride on a horse is so important. It’s a little bit like when you guys were younger and you were dating, that last two minutes of the date can be a real deal breaker. With these horses it’s the same thing you know? You got to quit on a good note Picture Quote #1

Not all horses are going to be show jumpers, not all horses are going to be dressage horses. So you have to sort of find where the horse physically fits into what might suit him, but all horses can be comfortable and all horses can have good, solid fundamentals Picture Quote #1

Whether it’s horses or whatever it is you do, it doesn’t become an art until your soul goes into what you do Picture Quote #1

Nobody has to lose for me to succeed and that is a unique job. Everybody wins, horse wins, people win, I win Picture Quote #1

A lot of times, rather than helping people with horse problems, I’m helping horses with people problems Picture Quote #1

And for a lot of people, they want it all to be fuzzy and warm and cosmic, but it’s no different with a horse than with a kid... You can’t always be the kid’s best friend. First you have to be the parent Picture Quote #1

There are things that the horse did for me that a human couldn’t have done Picture Quote #1

Once you have seen quality horsemanship and are exposed to the things you can do to help a horse be gentle and dependable, then why wouldn’t you do those things? No matter what your horse’s age, you are going to try to offer him the best that you can. If you adjust what you are doing, he will adjust too; horses have an amazing capacity to make changes. There is always hope Picture Quote #1

It’s a matter of timing and of patience. Although it may seem nothing is happening on the surface, there may yet be profound changes occurring a little deeper. Waiting isn’t bad Picture Quote #1

With a horse, if you make it easy for him to do the right thing, that’s what he will logically do, but it’s not necessarily true with the human. You will see humans that will beat their heads against the wall rather than open the door and walk through it Picture Quote #1

Anytime you are with a horse, no matter if you are a daily rider or one who just gets a chance to ride to the mailbox, you are interacting with your horse. It is all about the quality of the communication, not the quantity. Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often Picture Quote #1

Simply put; I’m trying to see what I can get done with the horse without him being troubled about doing it Picture Quote #1

It’s a process and it’s a matter of understanding the horse and through any of these little projects you have a beginning, a middle and an end. And if you made up your mind early when he’s still scared, you’d think that wasn’t working at all. Sometimes it might get darker, before it gets dawn. You might have to work at it a little bit in order for it to come out the other side Picture Quote #1

The horse is so honest... they live in the moment. And what they do, whether they need to protect themselves or whether they need to accept you really is directly relative to how you make them feel Picture Quote #1

You allow a horse to make mistakes, the horse will learn from mistakes no different than the human. But you can’t get him to where he dreads making mistakes for fear of what’s going to happen after he does Picture Quote #1

I’m still on the move, I’m getting better because I’m still studying. I still want to be a better horseman Picture Quote #1

If the human isn’t responsible for their role in the horse human relationship, horses just don’t get along very well. So that’s why I say it’s all about the human meeting the bill to fit the horse in any given situation. But don’t expect the horse to always fit the human Picture Quote #1

Once I get the horse where he’s responding and working for ya and has a good frame of mind and a good attitude, it’s not just the horse that needs fixing. It’s the human that needs fixing and it’s the human that created that in the first place Picture Quote #1

Most people don’t realize how little it takes to get a horse to move Picture Quote #1

On a horse there is a perfect position of balance where he doesn’t feel like he’s pushing you along with him or dragging you along with him.
