Buck Brannaman spends nine months of the year teaching mesmerizing lessons in horse training throughout the USA. Opposing traditional violent and oppressive training techniques, Brannaman proves that an approach based on mutual learning and trust is not only more ethical but also achieves wonderful results. Brannaman’s rough journey began with rope tricks performances in rodeos fearing a whipping from his father. His story was later the inspiration for Robert Redford’s “The Horse Whisperer”. The techniques he developed helped him cope with his traumatic childhood, and are intended for horse owners as much as for horses. As audience awards garnered in festivals attest, viewers too cannot remain unaffected.
