From Oregon Rain to Arizona Sun: Studying with Buck Brannaman in 2026

There is a specific kind of perspective that only comes from fifteen years of showing up to the first Buck Brannaman clinic of the year. This March, I traded the Willamette Valley mud for the dry, electric gold of an Arizona sunrise to go horsemanship hunting in the desert. It was a week spent in the shade of the speakers—watching my teacher ride his bridlehorses, catching up with old friends over fresh lemonade, and remembering why, above all else, I am a student and a horse lover first.
