' "Buck" Brings The Real Horse Whisperer To Movie Screens!'
As so often happens, the extraordinary truth about the life and background of the real horse whisperer is a far cry from the movie with Robert Redford, good though that was.
The remarkable skill he had, according to Buck Brannaman, (the cowboy on which the movie was based), stemmed from his abused childhood. It was that which enabled him to break horses in so effectively and caringly.
Buck was abused horrifically by a drunken Father. Yet significantly he is quoted as saying now: "When you go through something like that, the abuser steals your childhood, and you never get that back. But they can't steal your innate knowing that there is a right and wrong. They can't steal your will to make decisions. And eventually at some point every body has to decide which way they are going to allow their life to go."
Mercifully he was fostered later by a wonderful couple and his Foster Mother is still alive.
But do read the full report and look out for the showing of the documentary near you. It could help so much for our self-understanding and for understanding others.
