Buck is amazing. I have the utmost respect for him. I totally agree with him that the same approach he has with horses carries over to raising kids, dogs... they're a great responsibility, teach them right from wrong, etc.
He's not a whisperer... He is an expert in horse psychology and is able to teach horse and owner... Everyone should be taught about the species the way he and others know how to teach it... I wish he was in England 😊
I like Buck. He's one of my fave horsemen, along with Mark Rashid and Hempfling. However my top favourite is Rick Gore - he really explains 'the big picture'. Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Thank you sooo much for sharing this, I had to go out and I missed it but so glad I found it on here. One of the only times I've seen those presenters look pretty awe-struck lol. Thanks again :)
I completely agree. When I watched the movie and they introduced the horse I though 'Oh nice they are going to show how Buck transforms him' and then when the horse ends up going to the vet to be put down at the end it was a real wake up call. I think he left it in there to show people, 'This is what can happen if you don't know what you're doing'.
Yes I understood that but thanks I didnt word it very well now I re-read it!!! It was good he showed it as Buck makes it look so easy and when you get a real agressive horse of course the risks are high as proved Too many people think they are way better than they are as they only ever get to handle nice docile horses
He comes over as a very humble and modest man and even non western riders can see how well he rides and trains horses. The video where he (to me) underestimates just how aggressive the colt that almost kills him is should be a reminder to anyone out there who thinks that just anyone can go out and use these techniques on every horse that comes along though. Sadly a lot of his admirers are using his methods wrongly and end up just being bullies, exactly the opposite to what he does.
I'm not sure if you are talking about the Stallion that eventually had to be put down? It wasn't Buck in the arena when the horse attacked, it was his helper who was working with the horse. He turned his back and let down his guard, giving the dominant aggressive horse a chance to get the upper hand, and he did. He should never have let down his guard but he obviously did underestimate the horse
Yes that's the problem....there is such a fine line when you are training a horse, even if you 'know' what you are doing you may still make a mistake... experience is very important. My horse is an abused ex-racehorse and I have a lady helping me who trained with Ray Hunt and she has explained to me that I must rather wait until she has sorted out the big problems before I start woeking with her because it can go wrong so easily
Well I guess you can know what you're doing in theory but if you get a horse that hasn't read the right books or watched the videos and so doesnt play a nice game its going to not end well - as this one didnt. Should be a warning to us all Too many amateurs out there pretending to be professionals, giving advice on things they dont have enough hands on experience in and will get people hurt
He treats his clients with a great deal of DISrespect. Just watch his training dvd sets for his clinics. Not a nice man. Not saying he isn't good with a horse, but he is sure demeaning to people who follow him and admire him. And lots of people have a rough upbringing, but he just can't let it go. He's making money off of it.
First, he does not treat his clients with disrespect, and he isn't demeaning. He has a quality that the US used to have commonly in the American west and midwest - a plain speaker. He is honest, direct, and sometimes uses humor. In the movie Buck there is a wrenching series of scenes involving a woman who proclaimed she had over a dozen stallions running around in a pasture together, and she brought one that had been without oxygen when it was born, and thus was clearly deranged. The woman ignored Buck's repeated requests to stop talking to the horse while he was training it, but Buck did not demean her. He just kept saying, 'don't say anything.' She didn't listen. The horse ended up giving one of Buck's employees a huge bite on his forehead which required stitches. Seeing that horse's conduct, Buck was concerned for the woman and for her stallions. He told her - away from the crowd - to look at herself and her motives for why she felt it necessary to put all those stallions together in a confined space. She started to cry, and Buck immediately enveloped her in a big hug and told her 'it's all right.' If he gets a bit impatient with people sometimes, it is because he feels bad for their horses. Second, 'making money off' of his rough upbringing. In the movie, Buck says he knows many other people had similar backgrounds. He also says it takes a long time to understand horses, and how they think, and so that is why he feels he has to train people, not horses. And if people can't use their backgrounds to explain their thinking without being accused of exploiting their pasts, what are we going to say about rape victims or the families of murder victims, who write books about their tragedies? Third, the people who go to his clinics know exactly what they are going to get -and look forward to his insights and his clear analogies that help them understand how horses think. He is a very gentle and nice man, although unsentimental and unwilling to pretend that he approves of things he disapproves, and who speaks plainly - a classic cowboy trait. In this woke world, some people take it as offensive or insulting, but that says more about them than it does about Buck.
Buck has been a massive influence on how I train dogs. I real inspiration, Buck, you're an amazing guy.

What a delightful, charming and enigmatical man. I would love to meet him just to
listen to his truth.
Such a gentle and beautiful man...
Thanks for putting this up. Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt are also admirable horsemen. Hello from Ottawa. Canada:)🍁
He's not a whisperer... He is an expert in horse psychology and is able to teach horse and owner... Everyone should be taught about the species the way he and others know how to teach it... I wish he was in England 😊
So utterly beautiful...

It's cowboys like Buck that give the name "cowboy" a good name.

Awesome! A fellow Gore supporter! :-) His videos are so addictive don't you think? He is simply brilliant! So honest and true! :)

You are entitled to your favorite, but please don't compare Buck with Rick.
WISDOM HAT

Horsespeaker likes robert Reford? He is hard with the horses, why must he be so hard to the friend
Carina Borg its because the horse sent a man to the hospital and that was her fault
