Summary: The Faraway Horses
Review: This book is exceptional beyond words! If you do not come out a better person in reading this book, you have failed to read it. Buck's life lessons on horsemanship as well as with dealing with people is something that we should all practice. This book did give me a direction, and a purpose and it will be something that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. Thank You Buck for writing it.

Summary: Of Horses and Humans
Review: This book is not only on how to help horses but on character,from begining to end it gives us lessons on how to help not only the troubled horse ,but on our own troubles as well .
We see from early on what shaped and formed the man of today,the abuse he and his brother suffered as children,the long road to true unity with the horse,the faliures along the way ,the tragedy of his first marriage and how as we say in the horse world he got back up and got on again ,all along we can see were many people would have thrown in the towel and quit ,Buck did not and in so doing showed strength and character .This is all written in a unvarnished way that I find refreshing
I found myself near tears at times and laughing at others ,some of what has happened in his life hits close to home for myself,as a lifelong horseman I have struggled to find unity and peace with the horse ,I have lost loved ones and struggled on,in reading his book I found new ways to deal with some of lifes problems and with my own love of the horse.
To say I enjoyed the book is an understatement,it will be something I will go back to time after time and I hope others will also.You do not have to own horse or be from the horse world to find something in this book that will help you either with your family or life its self.

Summary: The Faraway Horses
Review: This is an excellent book. It not only relates Buck's personal story, and how he was able to overcome his abusive family situation, but it also tells about his experiences with horses. If you are a rider, owner, or trainer, or if you don't ride at all, but are interested in horses or about people who are able to transcend their childhoods, this book is for you. It offers alot of insight, humor and encouragement. I would recommend it to anyone. It is a story of triumph and hopefulness.

Summary: Should Be Required Reading
Review: What a great book, I couldn't put it down. Potential buyers should note that this is mostly Buck's life story...with some horse lessons in the mix. If you're looking to learn Buck's techniques I suggest one of his other books or videos. But if you want to know the man, understand his background and philosophy toward animals and life--then this is the book. There are some very touching stories. Some will make you happy, some will make you cry. This book should be required reading for anyone who owns a horse or is even thinking about it! I can't wait for his next book.

Summary: A wonderful insight into the man behind the horseman
Review: What a WONDERFUL book. For those of us who know Buck and have ridden with him, this books gives us some of the answers about why he does things the way he does with horses. For those folks who have seen Buck don't know him very well, this book will give you an in depth look into the boy who grew up to be one of the finest horsemen in the world today. The book will compell you to seek out one of his clinics and meet him in person! For folks who have no idea why many people go back to ride with Buck again and again, it will help them to understand their friends' and relatives' compulsion to be in his presence.If you aren't in to horses or horsemanship at all, you will be impressed with his drive an determination to help the horses and truly help the people who want to understand their horses better. It's just a plain great read, in Buck's own words and his voice, too!
