Synopsis

Nearly every week of the year, Buck Brannaman is on the road, conducting horsemanship clinics in which he teaches horse owners how to better understand and work with their animals, creating a relationship based on trust and respect rather than force. Buck's skill has become the stuff of legend—in fact, the main character in Robert Redford's film The Horse Whisperer was based largely on him, and he served as the director's technical adviser during the shoot.

"These principles are really about life—about living your life so you're not at war with the horse, or with other people," Buck writes. At heart, this rich and rewarding autobiography is a prescription for living a harmonious existence—whether it involves horses or not.

About Buck Brannaman

Buck Brannaman-a mix of mentor, legend, and folk hero to the thousands who attend his colt-starting and horsemanship clinics each year-is the inspiration for the novel and feature film The Horse Whisperer. The author of Ranch Roping and coauthor of Believe: A Horseman's Journey, he has started more than 10,000 young horses in his clinics. He lives with his wife, Mary, and their three daughters in Sheridan, Wyoming.

I love Buck Brannaman. I saved all my pennies and spectated at one of his clinics in November and was amazed because his methods are so damn smart, but achievable to anyone willing to work on it. His life story is very sad. But he’s proof that no matter where you come from YOU decide where you’re goi......more
