“If we stop focusing on performing specific techniques and start developing our intuition and feel we can gain really wonderful results. “

“To do this you have to ride from the heart.  You need to stay grounded and present with the intention of riding compassionately in partnership with the horse.  If you allow yourself to just breathe and sense the horse’s movements you can interact with the horse with timing and feel. “

“Horses don’t understand this type of “sometimes” behavior.  They prefer “always” and “never”.  If you create a boundary and consistently and kindly reinforce that boundary then the horse knows what you expect.”
