Buck Brannaman is a true cowboy and horseman. He inspires, motivates and teaches through principles of respect, partnership and trust rather than anger, fear and intimidation. Buck started working with horses at the age of 12, getting kicked, bitten and run over in the process of learning what makes them tick. A real life "horse whisperer", he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment.
