"I've always thought that a fella took a better picture if there is a horse in there someplace and, generally speaking, you’d want to be sitting on that horse." - Bill Dorrance.

Buck talking about trailer loading and learning to recognize if our horses are halter broke or not.

"These are the basics of halter breaking and any horse that can't do this comfortably isn't halter broke.
Make sure your horse isn't *JUST* wearing the halter.
There's a big difference between the two and it's DANGEROUS not to know it.
In the beginning, as you lead the horse forward, back him up and ask him to yield his hindquarters and forehand away from you; it's a simple question of 'whose space is whose' and 'who's going to lead this dance'." Buck Brannaman.
