He's a good man, with good values that has a true love for horses and poeple, he's sharing his gift.  I think the way he approaches it is a take it or leave it, this is what I see and I just want to help. I have a deep respect for him as a horseman and a cowboy.

He's so not Parelli, meaning he seems smart, what he says about horses seems spot on to me and he has an air of humility about him that I like. I unfairly assumed he was another insufferable, arrogant purveyor of "natural" horsemanship, like the awful Parelli duo, but Buck Branaman is actually likable. I still mind, though, that really fine traditional horsemen and women are given short shrift due to the current mania for "natural" horsemanship.

He helps horses and people understand each other-he is gifted train bridle horses, he along with the Dorrence Brothers,Ray Hunt have through thier teachings have made the lives of a whole lot of horses and people much better!

@cymru888 - do you ask this because he doesn't "show" horses? He trains bridle horses. If you don't know what that is, check out the Vaquero horse school of training. All training begins with building confidence in the horse, or do you disagree?

Thank you for sharing this clip!

Sorry you feel that way

[carollyns]

@cymru888 And your opinion matters why?!

[cymru888]

I know horse therapist (or some such) sounds a bit much perhaps, but to call these cowboys/girls 'trainers" just chaps my ass.
