A horse, as much as a book, is a magic portal to another dimension.

"The reins should feel like silk in your hands. There should be a float in them. You should feel weightless.
See how little you can do.
Bring the horse to a walk without using the reins. It should be in your body.
See how slow and soft life can be without letting things die.
Now pick up a feel and speed your horses up. Don’t sit there like a gut shot bird.
Your legs are more important than your hands.
When I’m on a horse he becomes my body, feet and legs.
The reins are really hooked onto my feet and the horse is between my legs, arms, and hands.
Don’t brace in the stirrups or he’ll brace back...............and there’s usually a buck in that brace." - Ray Hunt

"There will be discouraging times, but you need to accept them, make the best of them and go on. We have to accept some things [are] not working so we know we don't have to keep doing them. We have to accept defeat to gain success. It's a way of life." - Ray Hunt.

Ray's quote is from an article that appeared in the June 2004 issue of the Western Horseman 'Ray Hunt's Mission' by Susan Smith.
