This week also marks the launch of Buck Brannaman’s new television channel. For over forty years, Brannaman has been working with horses and riders to benefit from their mutual experience. The Buck Channel was Buck’s dream, to be a place where his horsemanship students could watch short 6–8 minute training session videos – anytime on any device - helping them with their horses. The Buck Channel subscribers will have access to a revolving menu of 50 videos, in 12 subject categories each month to choose from and watch as many and as much as they want. Categories include – Fundamental Information, Bridling and Saddling, Colt Starting and Groundwork, The Soft Feel, Working the Green Snaffle Bit Horse, Intermediate and Advanced Snaffle Work, Hackamore and the Two-Rein, Working from the Lope, Lateral Work, The Turn-Around, Roping, Gear and Use, and Buck Stories and Good Sense Information.
Each month, some video titles will rotate off while others are added – along with featured titles – for the new month. New videos are constantly being shot and video subject suggestions for Buck are welcomed. For the first time in Buck’s long career on the road, his students can work with him year-round when they join him at The Buck Channel. For more information, visit www.thebuckchannel.com.
