You can lead a man to knowledge but you can't make him think." ~ Pat Parelli
"Nature is about wondrous diversity and while there are some elements held in common, each horse is unique and must be approached with that held firmly in mind. Formulas for care or treatment do not ultimately serve the best interests of the horse. It is important to approach each equine as an individual, to assess body and mind to determine what effects the forces of life have had on that individual, and provide appropriate care based on that unique assessment at that particular time." ~ Equine Sciences Academy
