Sam's philosophy is that all you need is common sense, a lot of patience, respect for horses, and an understanding of the 3 R' s . .
Horses have a universal language they use to communicate with each other.
Maybe that's where the term horse whisperer comes from. Those of us who are called whisperers speak to the horse in his language rather than try to teach him ours. Because horses are non-verbal they use their bodies to speak. The twitch of an ear, the movement of an eye, the carriage of the tail, and the way he carries himself in your presence all have meaning. If you are to have a true partnership with your horse it is vital to that relationship that you understand him and speak his language.
