The Movie, Buck

There is new movie out, a documentary about Buck Brannaman, the original horse whisperer, that sounds wonderful. Buck, which was included in the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and nominated for best documentary, opens in select theaters on June 17 and then gradually across the country.

It is the work of filmmaker Cindy Meehl, and follows Brannaman for nine months as he travels from ranch to ranch to train horses. Many times, he admits, he is "helping horses with people problems" rather than the other way around.

The Chronicle of The Horse has a great review so keep your eyes open in case it turns up in your neck of the woods. And then let us all know if it is as good as it sounds!
