A true horseman can relate and communicate with a horse in an effortless manner and with mutual respect.
He understands the horse and is sensitive to where the horse is mentally.
He has a total commitment to understanding the communication that takes place from the inside out between horse and rider.
I have only met three of those in my life; Bill and Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt.
They each had an understanding of each horse that they came in contact with.
They knew what the horses were feeling on the inside and they dealt with each horse from that perspective." - Buck Brannaman.
