“Horses need horsemen. It's that simple. I get asked the same questions over and over again and nobody gets it. “What level rider is this horse suitable for?” I'll tell you, the best one he can get, the best horseman who is willing to buy him. The horse will only ever be as good as the rider. It doesn't matter if he is trained to jump hoops of fire; you're going to bring him down to your level in no time. Your kid doesn't need a $15,000 horse if he hasn’t already had $15,000 worth of lessons. You can't buy a violin that will gift you the skill of playing. It's the same for horses. There is no magic horse; only a love for the animal and a commitment to learning.

Most of you are so unfair and demanding of the horse, you miss the forest for the trees. "I want a horse who rides out alone!!" Well, guess what? You better be ready to spend a year developing that relationship, that bond, that trust. He is not a bike; you can't buy trust.

“I want a horse who can sit and be the same after time off.” Well friend, this is a commitment to a relationship, not a classic car you take out of the garage twice a year. You can't buy what you’re looking for.

"I want a horse my kids can ride.” You better be ready to teach your kids how to be horsemen, because if the horse has to do it, you'll likely see the inside of an ambulance or a morgue.

You can't buy trust. You cannot buy what comes with building a relationship with an animal over years of dedication.”
