Excerpts from this book: "The horse is about as noble an animal as I ever fooled with, and good ones have as much dignity or more so as any other creature." - Buster Welch "As I go further down the road, I can see that all great horsemen have worked through the power of understanding." - Craig Cameron "To be successful at anything - whether you're a horseman, a farmer, a doctor, or own a tire store - you have to love it, eat and breathe it, and not be afraid to get up in the morning and run at it every single day." - Bob Avila "We have this romantic idea that we're fitting into the horse's world, but he is really fitting into ours. He's the one making all the changes while we make all the demands." - John Lyons "I've had a successful career as a trainer, but on my gravestone I hope they write, 'He was a great horseman.'" - Ronnie Richards "The FFA plays a big part in the foundation of this country. Established in 1928, the commitment, responsibility, ethics, and goals that it teaches our youth are tremendous. This organization is making a positive difference in these young men and women's lives. Horsemanship also stems from this great organization, and Iam proud to have been able to help FFA so that it can carry on with its work for generations to come." - Chris CoxLeRoy, Tammy is the author of 'Living Horsemanship ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781599212531 and ISBN 1599212536.
