Natural horsemanship Hunt is widely regarded as one of the original proponents of what became known as natural horsemanship. His views on horse-human relations were embraced by inspirational writers on human relations. Lance Secretan wrote, "We may respect a leader, but the ones we love are servant-leaders." In the beginning, Hunt said, "I was working in the mind of a lot of people who didn't want to believe the horse had a mind. Get a bigger bit. Get a bigger stick. That was their approach."

Ray Hunt is said to be Tom Dorrance's best-known student. His philosophy has been interpreted as, "If you get bucked off or kicked or bitten, you obviously did something wrong... The horse, on the other hand, is never wrong." 1992 Turning loose with Ray Hunt (video) 1996 Colt starting with Ray Hunt (video) 2001 The Fort Worth Benefit with Ray Hunt (video) Back To The Beginning (video) Ray Hunt Appreciation Clinic: 2005 Western Horseman of the Year (video) Ray Hunt: Cowboy Logic
