Buck Brannaman

Buck Brannaman is a true Wyoming cowboy who bends a horse's spirit with a unique language of training. It is a language of speech and harmony. Where other trainers "break" horses and force them into physical submission, Brannaman's remarkable relationship with horses is reliant on his understanding of their intelligence and sensitivity.

A horse is a kind and gentle animal. He's honest, and so sensitive he can feel a mosquito land on its back in a windstorm. You have to work with that sensitivity and nurture it. If you don't, you'll dull it and lose it.

Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will.

If you think about it, the most miserable people to be around are the people who have no direction, no purpose, no passion.

I help horses with people problems
rather than people with horse problems.

Brannaman’s parting advice is for us to care for animals, but not to the point where we forget our fellow humans. Every community needs foster parents who can offer kids a safe refuge, just like his did.
