Natural Horsemanship

Tom and Bill Dorrance, credited for being the original Natural Horsemanship trainers, had a collection of simple but profound statements that embody Natural Horsemanship.

  1. The horse is never wrong.

  2. The horse has need for self preservation in mind, body, and spirit.

  3. It takes as long as it takes. Take the time.

  4. Do less to get more.

  5. Feel what the horse is feeling and operate from there.

  6. The slower you do it, the quicker you'll have it.

  7. Be as gentle as possible-as firm as necessary.

  8. Let your idea become the horse's idea.
