You must in all Airs follow the strength, spirit, and disposition of the horse, and do nothing against nature; for art is but to set nature in order, and nothing else.

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

We tolerate shapes in human beings that would horrify us if we saw them in a horse.

If a horse doesn't want to do something, you're not going to make him do it. They're incredibly powerful animals.

A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.

I still prefer horses to human beings.

Horses have really distinct personalities, and they're magical in many ways.

Being a great horseman does not rely on physical strength but more on the mind and sensibility.

If cattle and horses, or lions, had hands, or were able to draw with their feet and produce the works which men do, horses would draw the forms of gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make the gods' bodies the same shape as their own.

Without knowing this, no man can dress a horse perfectly.
