Buck ()
In a manner of speaking, “horsing around” is Buck Brannaman’s business, since he crisscrosses the country teaching four-day horse training clinics nine months out of the year. But as the schedule implies, no one takes training horses more seriously than Brannaman, the primary inspiration for Nicholas Evans’ The Horse Whisperer. Brannaman is the subject of Cindy Meehl’s documentary Buck, marketed by IFC Films as a “Sundance Selection” since it was screened at Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival.
Redford, who directed the film version of The Horse Whisperer, appears in Buck to describe his take on Brannaman’s skill, demeanor, and overall mystique. He’s one of several gobsmacked individuals to attempt to describe a man that, as Meehl ultimately understands, has to be seen in action to be believed. In extensive footage shot during his clinics, Brannaman walks around wearing his “Madonna mic” and demonstrates how a properly trained horse can and will follow a human’s almost imperceptible physical prompting; as such he offers a panacea for equine abuse.
Brannaman’s
&#;Buck&#; teaches hard-learned lessons
Straight from the school of hard-knocks, comes Buck Brannaman. As the youngest son of &#;Ace&#; and Carol Brannaman, he first came to national attention as a shy boy, who, with his older brother, had a talent for rope tricks. They were on national cereal commercials, but you might know Buck best as the horse whisperer&#;the man who inspired a book and later worked with Robert Redford on the movie by the same name, &#;The Horse Whisperer.&#; Director Cindy Meehl&#;s &#;Buck&#; is a picturesque documentary that tells a hopeful story about redemption through hard work and humility.
Novelist Nicholas Evans&#; novel was a romance about how the horse whisperer, Tom Booker, helps a young rider and her horse recover psychologically after a tragic accident. Booker was based on Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt as well as Brannaman. Brannaman had studied under both Dorrance and Hunt although initially being skeptical of their methods.
Brannaman not only was the lead consultant for the movie version that Robert Redford starred and directed, he also was Redford&#;s double. The movie introduced the term &#;whisperer&#; into popular usage to mean so

Which Class is Right For Me?
Over the years Buck’s horsemanship classes have changed and been added to. Many people have questions as to just which class is right for them – and more importantly – which is right for their horse. Below is a brief description of each of the classes Buck currently is offering.
Colt Starting
A class for young horses that may or may not have been handled or worked with, instruction is directed on groundwork and preparation for the first ride. Halter work, gentling and saddling without stress – for both horse and rider – are the main focuses of Colt Starting. The four day class is intended to conclude with the rider safely aboard and beginning work in the snaffle bit.
Foundation Horsemanship
This new class is for the green rider or a green horse who may feel the need for additional groundwork prior to riding. During each of the three-day sessions half of the class is dedicated to working the horse from the ground in preparation for riding, with the second half of the class horseback.
Horsemanship 1
For the green horse and rider already comfortable in the snaffle bit along with aged horses needing continued work. This is the first stage

Buck Brannaman: The Horse Whisperer
Early Life and InfluencesBuck Brannaman, born in in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, grew up in Montana and Idaho. Brannaman trained for many years under Ray Hunt, a pioneer of the natural horsemanship movement, and was also influenced by Tom and Bill Dorrance. Today, Brannaman teaches clinics worldwide, stating that their purpose "is really just to try to get the person to understand as much as I can help them understand about their horse."
Overcoming Childhood Trauma
Brannaman endured a difficult childhood marked by physical abuse at the hands of his father, leading him and his brother to spend several years in foster care. He found solace in horses and learned firsthand to see things from their perspective. Brannaman wrote:
"I’ve been around horses since I was 12, and I’ve been bit, kicked, bucked off, and run over.
