QUOTES BY B.H.V. HOLLEUFFER (page one)
on the philosophical aspects of training
"One thing is for certian: where horses are pressured the most, the art of riding is the least at home."
(1896; translation: T. Ritter)
"The horse will always be the best teacher. Those who train and pay attention to what mistakes the horse makes will know what to work on.
"Therefore, one must be grateful for the horses' mistakes and resistances, and not get angry and punish them, but educate them.
Punishment is only rarely necessary."
