The Faraway Horses: The Adventures and Wisdom of America's Most Renowned Horsemen Audiobook

" Anyone who cares about communication should read this book. Brannaman focuses on how people can better communicate with horses, but there are takeaways for many other aspects of communication - especially cross-cultural communication. Empathy, a clean sheet of paper approach, and a dismissal of assumptions work with horses and my observation is that it often works with people as well. "

" Good first half, his biography, second half is about training but without the specifics to be helpful to one hoping to learn. "

" this book was amazing i love this book to death this is the best auto biography ive ever read ill never read a better book than this "

" Loved it. Buck had a tough beginning to his life but he came out the other side with such love and compassion for horses. A truly heart-felt book. Loved it! "

" Listened to this on audio book. It was a good memoir of Horse Whisperer Buck Brannaman. Anyone that loves horses would enjoy this book. "

" I loved how it was written. It was like Buck was sitting next to me telling me some rememberable stories about his life. If you love people who can tell good stories, and love horses this book is for you. "

" A wonderful book. It tells a lot of the content of Buck's past found in the documentary Buck, but goes into more detail about his personal life and also working with horses. "

" Although parts of this book were slow-moving, the horsemanship tips were priceless. "

" This will make a good movie but as a novel it is very dry. "

" I love this book. I love Buck Brannaman. The documentary "Buck" shifted my heart. "

" Interesting book. Won't win any prizes for literature, but I doubt Buck was aiming at that anyway. The book does not do him justice, he is a very funny, easy going, polite man. "

" I loved this book. The writing wasn't the best, but the story was amazing. This isn't a book about horses this is about people and everyone should read it. I can't recommend enough. "

" I read this because his clinics are so extraordinary. The book isn't as wonderful (hence three stars), but it does convey well how this man became the sort of guardian angel of horses that he is. Would that all horse people were horsemen of this caliber. Wonderful photographs. "

" This book is awesome!!!! Great read! "

" I enjoyed reading this book. I also enjoyed the documentary "Buck"! "

" Child abuse and a feel for nature must go together. "

" This book was ok. Not well edited, so it jumped around quite a bit. "

" As a horse lover, I loved this book. Buck Brannaman is living the life I would have loved to live. I love how he communicates with and truly understands the beautiful horse! "

" This was a good read, and an interesting one. Buck's life is very sad and full of struggles and hardships, but his story has a happy ending. That is the best part. "

" I'm a huge fan of Buck's so I really enjoyed this book. He has a great approach to humans and horses both and I hope to attend one of his clinics someday. I would recommend this read for any of my horse loving friends. "

" The five star rating certainly doesn't come from the writing; it pretty much stinks. But the author has the trump card of the written word - he has voice. A tale worth telling and sharing for anyone who has been through horrific childhood abuse and wants to move forward. "

" I read this after seeing the film and it's a good story. I didn't learn a lot about horse training but I enjoyed his life story and some of his adventures. I've worked with Mike Beck and was pleased to see he got a brief mention in the book. "
