Hello Everyone!
We hope you all learned lots and had a wonderful time being part of the 2023 Buck Brannaman Clinic at Mt. Hood Center in Boring, Oregon!
We are sending a huge “THANK YOU” out to all who helped make this clinic GREAT!
Buck Brannaman, we thank you for continuing to travel to Oregon and share your knowledge with all of us! We truly appreciate all that you do!
We had participants and spectators from all over Oregon and Washington, some from California, Idaho, Montana, and even a couple from Canada attend this clinic. The arena and the stands were full! We thank you all for showing up to learn and welcome Buck back to the Pacific Northwest!
Buck shares so much information at every clinic, we all go home with our cup overflowing! All the participants worked hard in class and asked great questions keeping Buck happy! There were lots of great questions from the stands as well.
We’ve received many emails from people that were at the clinic letting us know they have pages and pages of notes, they love this horsemanship, the clinic was amazing, they love to watch Buck ride, their brains are on overload, it was such a memorable time, they loved watching all the horses progress, so happy to have been part of something great, some left feeling impressed and inspired, some shared photos, many asked to be added to the participant list for our next clinic - summer 2025. We thank you all!
Mt. Hood Center, thank you to Dean, the owner for providing such a beautiful facility for us to enjoy through out our clinic weekend. Thank you to Monika for all the coordinating along the way this past year, and to Aaron, Kellie, and the rest of their team for working hard to get the on-going construction buttoned up in time for our clinic, for the work that was done to prepare the arenas and keep them watered and worked during our clinic, and all of the teams efforts to keep things rolling through out the weekend.
Thank you to Dalton (Buck’s assistant) for all your help at our clinic. It was a pleasure to meet you, your wife, and beautiful baby girl.
Thank you to our great friends Richard & Delora Tatum, their son Casey & his wife Katona. They have helped us with whatever is needed at every Buck clinic we’ve hosted so far. I’ll say it again this year, I don’t know how we would get by without them.
A special thank you to my Momma for always making the trip down to be available to help with whatever may be needed at every clinic.
Thank you to our food and beverage vendors!

Thank you to Tim Skelton and his wife Jesica for providing our participants dinner Saturday night on short notice. They really came through for us as we had an unforeseen cancellation. The food was great, the setting was great, and I believe dinner was enjoyable for all.
Thank you to Tami Jenkins of Hot Flash Photography for taking some great photos and being willing to share them with us! She has posted them on her page for all to see and share.

Thank you to Rylee’s group of friends that picked the stalls, kept the aisleways clean, and waters filled. They also stepped up to help wherever they were needed and kept the random p**p piles picked up around the facility. We appreciate the work you all did!
Thank you to my 19-year-old daughter Rylee who stepped up again this year and helped with all aspects of the clinic. She was up feeding horses at 6:30am, rode both classes again, helped wherever she was needed, and checked in on all the horses with her friends before she headed to bed each night. Again, I will say we are so fortunate she has been able to have this amazing horsemanship journey in her life. Her feel and timing continue to improve with every horse she works with. I am very proud of her accomplishments!
Be watching for Buck’s 2024 Clinic schedule to be posted to his website on or around December 1st, 2023. Be sure to reach out to the clinic sponsor listed for participation as his clinics typically fill quickly.
Also, check out signing up for The Buck Channel if you haven’t already. There is great information to learn there! We all love watching Buck work with his horses!

We are planning for Buck to be back in the Valley summer 2025! We are on a every other year schedule. Our clinic has typically been the last weekend of June or 4th of July weekend. Once our dates have been confirmed we will post them on this page along with a clinic location.
Buck’s Horsemanship is amazing and relates to all aspects of daily life!
See you in 2025 if not before at another clinic!
