    I'm thankful I got to be around him at least for a short time. Just like he said my best rides always came when I detached and just let that subconscious take over. I learned so much at his place and not just about bullriding. Thanks Gary and Brett for making me a decent bullrider and a wiser man.

    I'm not a bullring, though I've been around many. I love your videos. They apply to so much more to life than only bullring. I get fired up every time I watch one of your videos. I date one of your family members that lost both of her parents at an early age. Her name is Sumer Leffew. She makes me smile from ear to ear. Sometimes I just don't think she knows that. I love her more than she will ever know. Thank you Gary Leffew...

    That was the most inspirational video I have ever seen Gary. I can't express how thankful I am to have had you as a teacher. This video is my new drive for bull riding. I really the vibe. Thanks Gary, I'll never forget what you taught me.

    This is horsemanship, as well. He hit the nail on the head all the way through.

      Well said. I use to team rope and used visualization even when I didn’t have rope in my hand.

    When he is sitting there in meditation, his fingers are in such a way that it makes me think of Yoda.

    Would love to see a movie based on life and times of someone like this Cowboy, wouldn't need much fiction neither, just a few scene/page fillers.
