 If you are a serious student of the horse or just like to watch this magnificent animal at work and play with his rider you don’t want to miss the 4 day clinic coming up March 26, 27, 28 & 29, 2010.  The place is Belton, Texas at the Bell County Expo Center.  
 Each day will start with Horsemanship One, promptly at 9:00am until noon.  This class covers basic manuvers every horse should know.  The skill and precision level of these basic manuvers determines how well each horse rider team can then achieve  more advanced levels of manuvers.  Each afternoon of the 4 day clinic will be Beginning Ranch Roping.  The horse riders will be learning ranch roping  skills and putting all their basics together and doing real ranch work with  60 foot  ranch ropes, learning herd work and working in pairs and teams to tie and doctor cattle, like western buckaroos.
 Buck’s clinics are intense study sessions with a lot of material to cover and get a good grasp of for you to then take home and work on.  I have been riding with Buck Brannaman for 14 years and it never ceases to amaze me the advances all  the participants and their horses make over the four days. 
This will be the 10th year I have sponsored Buck Brannaman in Texas.  It is always such an honor to have him come be with us for 4 days every year, he gives us inspiration, challenges and useful information that we will be able to use for the rest of our lives.  He gives us knowledge so that the lives of the horses we work with in the future can be better.  For more information on the clinic give me a call -evenings are best- 325-396-2461 or send me an email. 
Buck Brannaman is from Sheridan, WY and is world -renowned for his clinics, teaching horsemanship in the traditional vaquero style.  His type of horsemanship helps horse riders of all disciplines — barrel racers, ropers, trail riders, dressage riders, buckaroo ranch riders, endurance riders and others.  He helps you really dig inside yourself to find your core skills and develop them in a way that is fitting to the horse.  He bases his clinics on principles of communication and understanding, and living life so you aren’t at war with your horse or with other people.  Buck was the recipient of an honorary doctorate degree from Montana State University in May 2006. Buck is the author of several books, including “The Faraway Horses,” and “Believe: A Horseman’s Journey,” both written with William Reynolds.

My training is in the Buckaroo Way and I offer consultation services to those who believe in partnership of horse and rider.
