There is no such thing as a horse whisperer. There never has been and never will be. The idea is an affront to the horse. You can talk and listen to horses all you want, and what you will learn, if you pay close attention, is that they live on open ground way beyond language and that language, no matter how you characterize it, is a poor trope for what horses understand about themselves and about humans. You need to practice only three things, patience, observation and humility, all of which were summed up in the life of an old man named Bill Dorrance.
\nDorrance was 93, and until only a few months before his death he still rode and he still roped. He was one of a handful of men, including his brother Tom, who in separate ways have helped redefine relations between the horse and the human. Bill Dorrance saw that subtlety was nearly always a more effective tool than force, but he realized that subtlety was a hard tool to exercise if you believe, as most people do, that you are superior to the horse. There was no dominance in the way Dorrance rode, or in what he taught, only partnership. To the exalted horsemanship of the vaquero — the Spanish cowboy of 18th-century California — he brought an exalted humanity, whose highest expression is faith in the willingness of the horse.
\nThere is no codifying what Bill Dorrance knew. Some of it, like how to braid a rawhide lariat, is relatively easy to teach, and some of it, thanks to the individuality of horses and humans, cannot be taught at all, only learned. His legacy is exceedingly complex and, in a sense, self-annulling. It is an internal legacy. The more a horseman says he has learned from Dorrance the less likely he is to have learned anything at all.
\nThat sounds oblique, but it reflects the fact that what you could learn from Dorrance was a manner of learning whose subject was nominally the horse but that extended itself in surprising directions to include dogs, cattle and people. If you learned it, you would know it was nothing to boast about.
\nThere is no mysticism, no magic, in this, only the recognition of kinship with horses. Plenty of people have come across Bill Dorrance and borrowed an insight or two, and some have made a lot of money by popularizing what they seemed to think he knew. But what he knew will never be popular, nor did he ever make much money from it. You cannot sell modesty or undying curiosity. It is hard to put a price on accepting that everything you think you know about horses may change with the very next horse.

\n Ne obstaja oseba, ki bi bila \u0161epetalec konjem. Nikoli ni in nikoli ne bo. Ideja je \u017ealitev za konja. Konju lahko \u0161epetate in ga poslu\u0161ate, kolikor \u017eelite, \u010desa pa se boste nau\u010dili – \u010de boste pozorno poslu\u0161ali – je, da konji \u017eivijo v svojem okolju, ki presega jezik in ta jezik, ne glede na to, kako ga okarakterizirate, je slab izraz za to, kaj konji razumejo o sebi in ljudeh. Vaditi morate le tri stvari, potrpljenje, opazovanje in poni\u017enost; in vse tri so bile povzete v \u017eivljenju Billa Dorranca.
\nDorrance je do\u017eivel 93 let in \u0161e nekaj mesecev pred smrtjo je jahal in lovil z lasom s konja. Bil je eden izmed pe\u0161\u010dice konjarjev, vklju\u010dno z njegovim bratom Tomom, ki so na razli\u010dne na\u010dine pomagali na novo opredeliti odnose med konjem in \u010dlovekom. Bill Dorrance je spoznal, da je subtilnost skoraj vedno bolj u\u010dinkovito orodje kot sila, vendar je tudi uvidel, da jo je te\u017eko izvajati, \u010de verjamete, kot ve\u010dina ljudi, da ste konju nadrejeni. V njegovem na\u010dinu jahanja in v tem, kar je u\u010dil, ni bilo dominance, samo partnerstvo. K vzvi\u0161enemu konjeni\u0161tvu vaquera je prinesel vzvi\u0161eno \u010dlove\u0161tvo, katerega najvi\u0161ji izraz je vera v voljnost konja.
\nNjegovega znanja ni mo\u010d spraviti v strokovni priro\u010dnik. Neke stvari, na primer kako spletati lariat iz surove ko\u017ee, je sorazmerno enostavno pou\u010devati, nekaterih pa zaradi individualnosti konj in ljudi sploh ni mogo\u010de pou\u010devati, ampak pridejo z izku\u0161njami. Njegova zapu\u0161\u010dina je nadvse zapletena in v nekem smislu samonikla. To je duhovna zapu\u0161\u010dina. Bolj ko konjar poudarja, da se je u\u010dil od Dorrancea, manj verjetno je, da je se je dejansko sploh \u010desa nau\u010dil od njega.
\nTo se sli\u0161i nepo\u0161teno, vendar odra\u017ea dejstvo, da ste se od Dorrancea lahko nau\u010dili na\u010dina u\u010denja, katerega predmet je bil v osnovi konj, vendar se je presenetljivo raz\u0161irilo tudi na pse, govedo in ljudi. \u010ce bi se tega nau\u010dili, se ne bi tako domi\u0161ljavo bahali naokoli.
\nV tem ni nobene mistike, nobene \u010darovnije, le prepoznavanje sorodnosti s konji. Veliko ljudi je naletelo na Billa Dorrancea in si sposodilo vpogled ali dva, nekateri pa so zaslu\u017eili veliko denarja s popularizacijo tistega, za kar so mislili, da on \u010duti in po\u010dne. Toda tisto, kar je vedel, nikoli ne bo priljubljeno, niti s tem ni nikoli veliko zaslu\u017eil. Ne morete prodati skromnosti ali neskon\u010dne radovednosti. Te\u017eko je postaviti ceno sprejemanju dejstva, da se lahko vse, kar mislite, da veste, spremeni \u017ee pri naslednjem konju.
