"I've started horses since I was 12 years old and have been bit, kicked, bucked off and run over. I've tried every physical means to contain my horse in an effort to keep from getting myself killed. I started to realize that things would come much easier for me once I learned why a horse does what he does. This method works well for me because of the kinship that develops between horse and rider."
—Buck Brannaman

In The Faraway Horses, Buck Brannaman shares his renowned methods for horse training and provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Robert Redford's movie The Horse Whisperer, for which he was the technical adviser.

Critic reviews

"Buck Brannaman is part of a lineage of skilled horsemen, and for the horses he works with, it is about trust and understanding, not submission." (Robert Redford)

Buck knows a lot about horses and tells how he's used that information in relation to humans. How he chose not to let his upbringing ruin his future but rather to use it for good. Excellent book I'll listen to many times over again

Not just for horsemen

Any additional comments?

Interesting, intriguing story about a natural horseman. Seems to be a good balance of time on Buck and time on horses; we get to see how the two were intertwined and how lessons from one were applied to the other -- and back again. I'd recommend the book. It has some good points about life and horsemanship. And I'm amazed at how Buck had such a hard life but turned out so well. Probably more than I could handle. Kudos for Buck!

Fascinating story about Buck's life & horsemanship

Buck is a one-of-a-kind horseman. This is the kind of book that you listen to until it's through. It just makes you feel good inside and you learn a whole lot about horses too

All that is right with America.
