Buck Brannaman/Pasadena 2012

WELL. The Brannaman Clinic, held in Pasadena, was one of the best clinics, attendance wise, and information wise, I have been to in a long time. It was full, but not gluted. Buck was in great form, funny, fun loving, dead serious, kind, demanding, all at once. Full of the "isms' that we love so much. Ended up having a divorce, between two herd bound ponies, who could not keep away from each other. In about 20 minutes, they decided it was easier to live apart. gotta love it. As you sift thru these photos, I want you to keep an eye out for the big bay horse, with the little star. Proof, that where there is a will, there is a way. This giant horse, a westphalian dark bay, gorgeous. Had been out to pasture for several years..and pretty unmanageable. Couldn't stand tied, throws himself on the ground with intent..buck, rear. Headed for trouble. Stacie decided she needed a project. Pluto, was about to be employed! Janine Roy, worked her magic, taking Pluto, and his opinions of people, and life, not personally, she helped him unravel the chaos, building on his success, two weeks ago this was a horse that could not manage to lead without hurting himself. Stacie rode him, in her first clinic, after only two weeks of ground work. I like these kind of stories. Sitting on the edge of the arena, you never know what it takes for people to GET to this point in their riding. Watching Pluto come out of his shell, and embrace life, with a forward attitude. Seeing Kennedy Stauffer, just a kid herself, ride like she owned it. and hold her own with the likes of an Olympian in the arena. I tell ya. Then the Dog Guru showed up, to see what the "horse whisperer" was all about. Caeser enjoyed the day, it was great to see him flop down in Bucks chair, and watch the doings. All n all, it was a fabulous weekend. Rubbin shoulders with movie stars, dog stars, great riders, 3 deep spectators, and the real star of the show, all the pretty ponies.

  • Issac had his work cut out for him with this pony..an english horse, bound for Germany, and really a nice horse. Just never ever even SEEN a rope before. Issace fixed that. And soon, with his gentle hand, the little bay horse was rope broke.

  • Even the dog whisperer showed up, to see how the "horse whisperer" managed. He pulled up Bucks chair, and said he was ready for his close up.

  • Two weeks ago this horse could not stand tied, had bucked several riders off, and had chaos in his brain. Ground work, patience and Stacie with the help of horsewoman Janine Roy, have made ALL the difference. This horse, at last, has found peace..

  • This horse, came from the eventing world, was rammed and jammed, and Stacie was his last hope. together with Janine Roy, and the patience they showed in bringing him along, what used to worry him, and scare him to death, is now eased with a simple caress of the neck.
