HORSE BARN

 

  I have seen things so beautiful

they have brought tears to my eyes.

Yet none of them can match

the gracefulness and beauty

of a horse running free.......

The best thing I try to do for myself is to try to listen to the horse. I don’t mean let him take over. I listen to how

he’s operating; what he’s understanding or what he doesn’t understand; what’s bothering him and what isn’t bothering him. I try to feel what the horse is feeling and operate from where the horse is.” – Tom Dorrance,

"The most difficult part for people to understand about this is that we are not speaking about anything that's got a formula to it.  It's no part of mechanics and you can't rehearse certain moves you did that worked on another horse -- or that you saw someone else do. What we're speaking about isn't something you see someone do and just try to bring over to the next horse with no adjusting figured into things, not if you're wanting to understand and apply this the way we're speaking about. That's why some people call it more of an art, and it sure could be closer to that than to science, all right.  But I call it feel." - Bill Dorrance ('True Horsemanship Through Feel' Bill Dorrance, Leslie Desmond)
