BBC4 - Storyville: Buck The Real Horse Whisperer

There was a very good documentary on BBC4 last week about Buck Brannaman "The Real Horse Whisperer".  Very interesting to watch...and thankfully it's on iplayer so it's still available to watch for the next couple of weeks if you missed it...or if you want to watch it again.  I certainly have!  Really fascinating to watch and compare/contrast/analyse with our work and concepts at p4p.  Obviously Buck is a real master.  Buck learnt from some of the well known names in horsemanship and gained his reputation from starting wild colts so there's lots of fascinating footage.  The documentary itself is very well put together and easy to watch, and from researching on the internet, it looks like it gained lots of awards for the film makers: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b020tlrw/Storyville_20132014_Buck_The_Real_Horse_Whisperer/

"Storyville: Documentary following horse whisperer Buck Brannaman from a painful childhood to his inspiring work as a trainer. It may be the stuff of Hollywood legend, but the cowboy who inspired the novel and film is very real. Buck - master horseman, raconteur and philosopher - is a no-excuses cowboy who travels the world sharing a hard-won wisdom that is often more about human relationships than about horses.
As Buck says, 'Often instead of helping people with horse problems, I'm helping horses with people problems.' He possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses - and people - with his deep understanding, compassion and respect".
