What a treat to see Buck Brannaman a real-life "Horse Whisper". Our friend Scottie was there for the 3 day clinic with Buck. Didn't know what to expect. We were spectators at the arena to see the skills of roping cattle. I always feel sorry for the little cows when they are tied up. Haven't given much thought to why this was necessary, but now I realize you have to be able to control your herds for reasons like branding, vaccines, separation of the mamas and babies and all this is done by how you control your horse and understand your horse. Quite amazing to see Buck and all the other ranchers in the practice.

I don't know the whole story, but from what I've read, when he was young he was abused by his father and he found away throught this with his horses. He said it saved his life. He has devoted his life to making things better for the horses. He was also a consultant for actor Robert Redford in the movie "The Horse Whisper".
