Buck Brannaman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dan M. "Buck" Brannaman (born January 29, 1962)[1] is an American horse trainer and a leading clinician with a philosophy of handling horses based on classical concepts from the vaquero tradition; working with the horse's nature, using an understanding of how horses think and communicate to train the horse to accept humans and work confidently and responsively with them.

One of Brannaman's stated goals is to make the animal feel safe and secure around humans so that the horse and rider can achieve a true union.[2]
