Buck Brannaman is a prominent advocate of natural horsemanship. He's a widely respected horse gentler whose approach to training a horse has inspired and revolutionized the equestrian world. His goal is to get the rider to understand as much about their horse as possible. He wants to teach them to understand the horse and where he's coming from. Believing that training a horse gets a whole lot easier once a trainer learns why a horse does what he does, Brannaman teaches his students to work with the horse's natural instincts and responses - rather than against them.
Buck Brannaman has criss-crossed the U.S. dozens of times since the mid-80's, helping horse owners better understand their horses. He's a mix of mentor, legend and folk hero to the thousands of people who attend his colt-starting and horsemanship clinics each year.
Buck Brannaman, an extraordinary trainer and acknowledged inspiration for The Horse Whisperer, inspires trust by encouraging results appropriate to the skill and experience level of both horse and rider. His attitude is that "there are no absolutes with horses" an that his life would be a whole lot easier if there were. In a clinic he'll assess the individual levels of each horse and rider team, and coach accordingly, employing techniques learned from men like Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt.
