Even though I'm not riding in the Buck Brannaman clinic, I am going to audit. Yesterday I took some notes on my phone . . . just as Buck was telling people to not talk on their phones. Of course I wasn't talking, but it probably looked like I was texting. I wanted to jump up and say, "But I'm taking notes! Here are all the things I wrote down so you'll believe me!" But of course I didn't do that.
Anyway, here are some tidbits.
"A horse will fight you to the end of his life to keep his balance."
"It is not disengaging the hind quarters, it is engaging the inside hind leg."
"Knowing where the feet are is everything."
"Be smoother when your horse gets off course."
"The first goal is to have the horse learn about being punctual."
"Pulling harder won't make him give any faster; more is not more."
"Nobody ever fixed a troubled horse by pulling on two reins."
