About this listen

"I've started horses since I was 12 years old and have been bit, kicked, bucked off and run over. I've tried every physical means to contain my horse in an effort to keep from getting myself killed. I started to realize that things would come much easier for me once I learned why a horse does what he does. This method works well for me because of the kinship that develops between horse and rider."
—Buck Brannaman

In The Faraway Horses, Buck Brannaman shares his renowned methods for horse training and provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Robert Redford's movie The Horse Whisperer, for which he was the technical adviser.

Critic Reviews

"Buck Brannaman is part of a lineage of skilled horsemen, and for the horses he works with, it is about trust and understanding, not submission." (Robert Redford)

Very enjoyable book to listen to, both for the story and the narration. I could listen to Buck Brannaman talk all day long, so I was a little disappointed that he wasn't narrating his book but the man who did, absolutely did him justice. He too has a calming voice and captured a bit of Buck's style of communication that showed enough similarity to be authentic but not so much that it seemed like he was trying to impersonate him. Really enjoyed everything about this audiobook.

A great story

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Cleverly written with stories to inspire, entertain, and full your heart. If you're a natural horsemanship person or enjoy horse training in general, this book is worth a listen.
