Location

Aspen, CO, United States

The Horse Whisperer may be the stuff of Hollywood legend but the cowboy who inspired the novel and film is very real. Buck Brannaman—master horseman, raconteur, and philosopher—is a no-excuses cowboy who travels the world sharing a hard-won wisdom that’s often more about human relationships than about horses. A Sundance audience-award winner, this wonderfully warm, gently revealing portrayal follows Brannaman from a troubled childhood to his inspiring work as a teacher. As he says, “Often, instead of helping people with horse problems, I’m helping horses with people problems.”

Guest: Director Cindy Meehl

NEW VIEWS is generously sponsored by Toby Lewis, Judi and Alan Altman, Mel and Paulette Blumenthal, and Pete and Sam Louras.
