Buck Brannaman

Dan M. Buck Brannaman (born January 29, 1962) is a horse trainer and a leading practitioner within the field of natural horsemanship, which is a philosophy of working with horses based on the idea of working with the horses nature, using an understanding of how horses think and communicate to train the horse to accept humans and work confidently and responsively with them. One of Brannamans stated goals is to make the animal feel safe and secure around humans so that the horse and rider can achieve a true union.

Brannaman was one of the primary individuals who inspired the character of Tom Booker in the Nicholas Evans novel The Horse Whisperer, and was the lead equine consultant for the film of the same name. Though the book itself was a work of fiction, Evans himself said:
