Day 10-Buckisms

“Tom Dorrance once said, ‘You can learn anything with these three words – observe, remember, and compare.’ He said that beyond that, learn to adjust to fit the situation. That always meant so much to me. The last time I was around Tom, he said, ‘Don’t treat them like they are. Treat them the way you’d like them to be.’ At the time, I didn’t know whether he was talking about horses or people. Later, I realized that he was talking about both. I remind myself of that from time to time. Because sometimes, people might come into a clinic defensive, scared, upset, or emotional. The best part of the person isn’t gonna come out the first day. But if I do my part and help them along, I get an opportunity to see the best part of the person as time goes by.”
– Buck Brannaman

There is so much wisdom in this quote. With a personal goal of excellent partnership, I realize that I am 50% of the equation and I need to be working on myself as much as I am working on my horse. I want to be the best I can and offer as much to the horse. I want to always see my horse as he is and strive to support him to get to where I want us to be, where we are both happy, comfortable, safe and having a nice time together. This quote helps me to remember things I need to know to get there!

How does this quote inspire you?

I did it! Ozzie and I published!

I did it!  I finally published the story of Ozzie, the horse that changed everything for me!  Ozzie was with me for more than 25 years and is the reason I study horsemanship!  Many of you have met Ozzie, who passed away a year ago.  But few of you know about our early days together.  Ozzie was a challenging horse with a big personality, and I was madly in love with him, even though he was not suitable for me at all.  He would push me and cause chaos wherever he went in his early days.  Thanks to him, I sought out help from a friend who lead me to the path of horsemanship!  And I have never looked back!
