It's better to want the horse you don't have than to have the horse you don't want.

Only the rider who is free from any contraction will have a horse equally free from contraction. A team such as this is the ideal.

If you are going to teach a horse something and have a good relationship, you don't make him learn it - you let him learn it.

Ride your horse with your whole body, not just with your arms and legs.

You're not working on the horse, you're working on yourself.

You feel and listen to the horse. The experience of the results of his response helps you understand for the next time.

In working with people and trying to help them with something, I find it isn't easy for me to get them to work in the area where it seems they need to work. They keep trying to work at the end result.

The horse may not be doing the thing that is the right thing for what the rider is asking him, but as far as the horse is concerned, he is doing the right thing.

Any artificial placement of the horse's head must be strictly avoided.

When training the horse - do little and frequently.

Collection is not compression: it is the balance where everything is easy for the horse to do.

The concept of lightness comes from the fact that your hand, by the quick opening and closing of the fingers, does not allow the horse the opportunity to pull or lean.

It must not be forgotten that there is no infallible method, nor a method that is completely bad, and that bad or good as these methods may be, it is in the end the rider who counts.
