Buckisms-Day Two


“When I first saw Ray Hunt do it, I thought, ‘That looks good to me, man. Whatever that is, I’m getting me some of that. It might take me a life time.’ But I know what a horse operating on a feel is. And I want you to get at least a mental picture to where hopefully it looks good to you, that you’ll want that, that you’ll strive for that. And it’ll be just like it’s a little video tape in your mind.” – Buck Brannaman

For me, I too thought the same thing about Ray Hunt. He was the first horseman I ever saw who had something I had been looking for!! I have been fortunate to learn from many clinicians in my life since that day, including Buck, but there is something special about that person who first exemplifies what you know you want at an instinctual level but have never seen. When you see it, you just know! You just have to have it!! And, since the early 90’s, I have had to have it!!

I work hard at developing my mental picture for each horse I ride and strive to get there in a way that is proactive for the horse. I am constantly working on developing my feel. And it will be a lifetime of study for me too! How fantastic!!

Do you remember seeing the first horseman that left a positive mark on you and your horse life??

I did it! Ozzie and I published!

I did it!  I finally published the story of Ozzie, the horse that changed everything for me!  Ozzie was with me for more than 25 years and is the reason I study horsemanship!  Many of you have met Ozzie, who passed away a year ago.  But few of you know about our early days together.  Ozzie was a challenging horse with a big personality, and I was madly in love with him, even though he was not suitable for me at all.  He would push me and cause chaos wherever he went in his early days.  Thanks to him, I sought out help from a friend who lead me to the path of horsemanship!  And I have never looked back! Don’t forget to get your copy on Amazon.com.
