Thank you being a light for those struggling in the dark.

Amen ! Preach it Brothers ! As a Farrier loneliness is real

A great conversation. Thanks.

Mr. Brannaman came into my life at the perfect time. It was 2011, I was driving my youngest daughter to summer camp at Lake Watcom, WA. Listening to a public radio station on the way home after dropping her off a segment came on talking about BUCK, the documentary being released that week. I knew I had to go see it! A little backstory… I had had a very traumatic year… my father and brother both died and my husband had left me and our daughters. I was barely into my grieving journey and had no idea how to get through it other than survive it. So I found the independent theatre in Seattle where BUCK was playing and took myself to see it that week. I wept throughout the entire film, it was a cathartic experience to say the very least and it changed the trajectory of my life and grieving process. And just like Mr. Brannaman, when the closing song by Eddie Vedder, Breathe played I was absolutely sobbing. I had never heard the song before until that day. I sat there alone in the theatre til everyone was gone. Walking out I knew life was going to be different, but I was going to have to do the work… before the end of that year I was volunteering 5 days a week at an equine therapeutic facility working with disabled children and adults and taking care of 26 horses. Prior to that, I had never been around horses other than a handful of times. The following year I went to Enumclaw for 3 days to sit in as spectator at Mr. Brannaman’s clinic. As much as I was absorbing and learning about horses, I was simultaneously learning more so about myself as a human being, a mother, a daughter and a friend. I cannot THANK this man enough for the impact he has had in my life because it’s an ongoing journey… even though I didn’t get a chance to meet him personally, Buck is a blessing and I am so thankful the Lord brought this whole experience into my life!

I commend your work. We all need humanity, because we are all needed. Keep it going. Momentum is my mantra.

It’s kind of ironic, and interesting that Buck mentions the book “When God Winks”. Coming from the UK and growing up around traditional hard English riding and the BHS methods and all the rubbish and “tradition “ that goes with that, I was getting increasingly frustrated by it all and searching for a better way. I went into a large bookshop in the city of Newcastle Upon Tyne in the North East of England. (I’ve visited with Buck and we had some conversations about his time in Newcastle when he was touring doing roping trucks/shows), and I picked from the shelf and purchased 3 totally random books by people I hadn’t even heard about at that time and no idea who they were or what they taught. Those 3 books were :- 1. True Unity by Tom Dorrance 2. Think Harmony with Horses by Ray Hunt. 3. The Far Away Horses and the story of the real horse whisperer By Buck Brannaman. I think that was God winking at me and started me down a whole different path, which I’m still walking today. Thankfully I got to meet both Buck and Ray several times in the USA and Buck in Australia and New Zealand too where I’m now living. Unfortunately never got to meet Tom, but I had enough to think about anyway…!!😂

Great podcast! Thankyou! I’m still giggling over that joke btw…So relative! Here we are on God’s good grace😅!

Great cause…well done both of you for all you have done and all you’re about to do. Best wishes Craig Mc New Zealand

Thank you for having Buck on and doing such a good interview with him. Especially the portion where you both discussed the need to break through the delusion that self reliance works on all of life’s problems.

I see the white girths Duane also uses. He hates the gel pads. I agree with him. Horse's skin gets irritated by gel pads. I have loved horses and owned my own and worked with them for 50 plus years ❤️

Buck needs to get together with Duane and go to his ranch dry creek wrangler ranch. They are old school horse trainers and a collaboration with Duane and Buck would be so 🔥 amazing. I'm old school horse woman. Started riding in the 60s and im 60 years old and still riding ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not funny.......
