An Evening with Buck Brannaman – Archived Event

Product Description

Not wanting to narrow down topics too much, here are some ideas of themes that we will explore in Buck’s first appearance in The Eclectic Classroom!

• Build on a Strong Foundation – Developing physically and mentally correct bridle horse depends on having a strong foundation and steady progress. Tonight Buck discusses his vision of taking a horse through the stages of education starting with the foundation he established from the very beginning and shares why you cannot achieve your goals without a good start.

• Why am I still teaching Groundwork? Many riders see groundwork only as something to do to keep from getting bucked off, or something you would only do with a colt. In the world of horsemanship few have refined how they teach and perform groundwork movements as well as Buck Brannaman. In this class Buck will discuss why groundwork is important beyond just survival. How his methods have evolved over time. Explore ideas about why some people might be resistant to groundwork and why it is such an integral aspect of his foundation.

• Ready to Swing a Rope? – All horses can benefit from learning how to be a roping partner. Through his decades roping at major events and buckaroo brandings to teaching ranch roping clinics to the public and founding the richest ranch roping in the US, Buck Brannaman is in a unique position to discuss the fundamental benefits of what happens to a horse mentally and physically when their human decides to learn to ranch rope.

The class was held Thursday April 3rd via Zoom
