    I'm thankful I got to be around him at least for a short time. Just like he said my best rides always came when I detached and just let that subconscious take over. I learned so much at his place and not just about bullriding. Thanks Gary and Brett for making me a decent bullrider and a wiser man.

    I learned the visualization techniques at his bull riding class ship that was back in the 80s

    This is horsemanship, as well. He hit the nail on the head all the way through.

      Well said. I use to team rope and used visualization even when I didn’t have rope in my hand.

    I'm not a bullring, though I've been around many. I love your videos. They apply to so much more to life than only bullring. I get fired up every time I watch one of your videos. I date one of your family members that lost both of her parents at an early age. Her name is Sumer Leffew. She makes me smile from ear to ear. Sometimes I just don't think she knows that. I love her more than she will ever know. Thank you Gary Leffew...

    When he is sitting there in meditation, his fingers are in such a way that it makes me think of Yoda.

    That was the most inspirational video I have ever seen Gary. I can't express how thankful I am to have had you as a teacher. This video is my new drive for bull riding. I really the vibe. Thanks Gary, I'll never forget what you taught me.

    Would love to see a movie based on life and times of someone like this Cowboy, wouldn't need much fiction neither, just a few scene/page fillers.
