“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.

This method works well for me because of the kinship that develops between horse and rider. ” –Buck Brannaman
