"You try to make it as easy for the horse as you can. You watch for the opportune time, that is the most fitting time to help the horse learn."
"The less directing you have to do the better. Sometimes you have to do quite a bit of directing, other times it's hardly any."
True Unity, Willing Communication Between Horse and Human
Tom Dorrance (1910-2003)

“Believe in your horse so your horse can believe in you."
