If you find a friend in life before someone else find him you're real lucky. You'll meet a lot of people and have a lot of aquaintances, but as far as having friends--they are very rare and very precious. But every horse you ...

It seems to go in pieces. That's how it seems to go even for a horse. There's "time" in there; it's just as well not to crowd the horse if he isn't ready for it. You keep offering, trying to help as much as you can, without troubling him too much about it. Then, there will be a day when it will just clear right up. - TD

It is our responsibility to help him overcome his problem. This quote reminds me of when a person has a "lazy" horse that they overuse pressure with, further dulling the horse to pressure, instead of teaching the horse to respond to light... So, when you start with light....and add more as needed...until ...

And the more experience I got with training, the more his words really started to sink in. This is by no means, parting from Lyons training (incase you're wondering what the heck all this Dorrance talk is coming from)....on the contrary, this IS the Lyons training. It's the CORE of the basic foundation to any and all (what's deemed) natural horsemanship ...

Talk about TRUE! Wow. This one blew me for a loop the first time I became aware of it happening and every time after that. I'll be working with a horse on something...and it just doesn't seem to click. Something's off. The horse is starting to get aggitated because he's feeling that I'm not as 100% certain...so then I stop, think....okay....what if....instead of ...
