Hey Dewayne, I am a 23 year old from Florida. I'm not a cowboy or anything but i absolutely love watching your videos where you are giving out wisdom. I know your channel is mostly about wrangling but you should do more of the life advice videos because I know I really enjoy listening to your advice. Its nice to hear from a real man for once in a world filled with little boys.

As a 26 y/o with no father just leaving the Army, these are things I’ve missed learning in my life. I wish I had wise words like this sooner but it’s never too late 💪🏻 Stay strong men
I am a woman who is a new subscriber. Although I know very little about horses, I accidentally came across your channel and I’m so glad I did. I have binge watched a lot of them for the wisdom and the valuable life lessons that you provide. I just want to say thank you!!
Hi Dewayne… I’m over here in Mt. Airy, NC. The real Mayberry. I’ve binge watched these videos and my wife is picking on me because I’m quoting Dewayne all over the house. I’m 46 and have a 15 year old. Lots of the stuff you are sharing is good for my boy to watch. My dad passed 20 years ago and was a welder… I was too busy running wild and chasing the Grateful Dead back then. Missed a lot… I love how simply you put things. I’m no Cowboy, but as a sober member of AA for 14 years, I find lots of your “Cowboy” and “Old Ways” philosophies refreshing and on par with the life I try to lead today. You are not much older than me, but man you remind me of my dad and it’s hitting a place I needed someone to hit. Take care
Haven't watched the video yet but I'm already moved by your comment.. I'm also 25 and my dad passed away 9 months ago, some days are heavier than others and I also need to hear someone like Dewayne. Father figures are beacons..
“If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well”. Exactly what my Granddad used to say. Great to hear those words again. Interesting lesson on frugality Vs cheapness. Going to try to apply that one. Thanks.
Howdy. I'm an old woman, no horses nor cowboys. But I also love your philosophy and wisdom. I'm even using some of your training tips to help with my dogs! Blessed Be.
"Frugal is a positive trait. Cheap is not. Frugal is not spending money on things you don't need. Cheap is spending as little money as you can get away with on things you do need." "So much of your horsemanship is your state of mind. It's your view--how you approach it." Both of these statements are very well put, and I am going to pass that on. When you were talking about the spurs, you addressed some of the "tender people" out there. I always tell those opposed to spurs, that you will see more people misuse a bit and tear up a horse's mouth than you will see people misuse spurs; and many of those that misuse a bit are the same ones who complain about spurs.
It wasn't the saddle that was making that horse want to fall down,. I think it was his calm demeanor and the sound of his voice. Also, they are recalling Butterball turkeys because they forgot to butter the balls.
Another excellent video. I work at a riding stable with a lot of guys who are really heavy handed with horses. They’re always jerking the horses head instead of asking for it, default is to yank & spur & they wonder why the horses are about to blow up… I was always taught calm guiding hands … spurs aren’t a weapon. I wear them & rarely touch my horse with them… I usually get put on the “ difficult” horses at work to get them ready for guests & I have no issues. It’s ugly before it’s pretty at times but I’m a firm believer that quiet hands make quiet horses.
Dwyane....there is only a couple times in my whole life that I ran into a horse with Narcolepsy. Now I'm not saying that little mare has it but you might want to study up if you're not familiar with it. I'm tellin' you they go to sleep, wakeup in a whole new world and panic. If you keep their attention they are fine, but let 'em go to sleep, (which can happen even when you're riding them), they can blowup for no apparent reason from our perspective. Just a heads up. Keep up the good work.
@@barbarabrooks509 Glad to hear a second opinion.Thank you very much. Dewayne puts out some good advice and I didn't want to over step but damn those horses can be a head shaking challenge to put it mildly.
I never heard that phrase, "take the bit". It makes me think of our relationship to God and how sometimes we refuse to take the bit and let Him guide us. But when we do take the bit, He is not cruel with us. He is gentle and thoughtful. Same could be said for our kids. We try to guide them, but they will resist. If the give in and listen, don't take that as an opportunity to badger them for all the times they didn't listen. There's so much wisdom packed up in these videos.
34 years here, from France. When he says, "Good morning!" with that deep voice, my brain goes into full attention mode. This man has the gift of toching souls! Gets you to listen and relax, even the horse gets relaxed and sleepy 🥱 😴
Thank you so much Dewayne and thank you to your wife for making these videos. After hours of wrench turning, broken machines, and braying mules, what you share sure does help.
I grew up with horses and never saw A horse with narcolepsy? Or, did you just get her up too early? She's awfully patient with all your jawin'! Wonderful video and excellent content! Thank you.
Dono I'mdono 1 minute ago I love your videos. good old fashioned wisdom. I heard a saying once; knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. wisdom is knowing to not put it in fruit salad. your approach to thinking through ideas to reach the common sense and simplicity is gold
This is so fascinating. Even the bit at the beginning about how to train a horse so she doesn't pull back. And I remember a horse once that had a problem with legs buckling if the girth was done up too tight for her. And you break down your explanation so it is really clear to understand. I do hope you continue these step by step teaching videos, really superb. And it's u 've to follow the story of this little mare too.
I'm no expert but consistency in reprimands and rewards has worked wonders with really difficult horses. I've had a neglected horse who bit and kicked show affection within two months.
Less is definitely more! Well worth remembering, especially with sensitive horses. Bet I've confused a few, sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing. Great video- thank you. I had a narcoleptic TB mare- she'd do the same thing your little lady demonstrated. Would sometimes even face-plant on the rail or out in her paddock, never while I was on her. She too was sensitive, and also very reactive. These sudden episodes seemed totally contradictory to her character. Used to wonder if she cat-napped to compensate for all the energy she expended staying alert. Wish I could've listened to you years ago, quite sure I was guilty of setting her off by doing too much. Wise words, my friend. Keep 'em
I just love your communication big time. Great joy watching with my sons. They are teen ages and are applying your approach and lessons with life in general. Fantastic and thank you
Great point on the weight aspect. What something weighs to us, is a 10th of what it weighs to them. Agree 100%. Slide the saddle up towards the poll 3-4” please.
This was really good. Especially when you worked out her issues on breathing/ circulation, because of the tightness of the Latigo, cutting of her circulation vein. A lot don’t about this. 👏🏼
She's a beauty, very quiet. It looked like she was dozing off a bit, then waking with a start. I wonder if she has some issue that's a little more medical in nature than behavior?
Dwayne, I enjoy your videos and philosophy. It has been many years since I have ridden due to age but grew up riding as my Dad always had horses. Keep on with you videos. Hate to see you leaving Tennessee as that is my home state,McKenzie, Tennessee. Also enjoy your pipe smoking and cigar videos. May God Bless you and your family.
First horse video i've seen after watching some of the cigar videos, and i can really see how this profession contributes to the man being so humble, respectful and realistic, among many other invaluable character traits. I can see how working with a wild and powerful animal like this teaches and maintains those values. These are important human skills that we risk losing in the pursuit of safety and predictability. Also makes me reflect on how respectable the old school cowboys must have been, as complete human beings, not just brutal gun-toting tough guys.
Loved the pop culture reference. It makes your explanation much more understandable. (EDIT) To add to your explanation, I would always consider the horse as a continuation of my body. That will calm the horse down even more.
One thing I have learned is that many different people have different ideas of what a finished horse is. I know of one place would would call a horse that has literally just been backed and long reined a bit a schooled horse even though their strides are awful etc canter and trot are not developed when to me that is insane. And i know of guy (who is a good horseman) who would call a horse that has been clearly pretty well schooled who you can lengthen or shorten their stride and set them up for a fairly high jump , entirely unfinished. So even really good horse people can have very different ideas of what finished is.
I watch every video you make. And I get something out of every one. But these types right here are extra awesome. As someone who's working on my horsemanship, these are priceless. I've gotta get out to a class. I'll be waiting for you to move up north.
I haven’t used many roping horses that like spurs.Usually just shifting your weight forward,give em their face,and a heel tap,& you’re going from 0-40 mph.in 2 seconds out of a roping box.
Somehow I was unsubscribed from your channel. Boy am I glad to be back! Lost yeah right around the fencing videos. Thanks for your general common sense… I’ve been looking over what I’ve missed and got to thinking how glad I am I’ve got your channel to show my boys so that they can see what a proper gentleman is and how to conduct themselves. Thanks for being the example I strive to be Duane.
3 zones; interesting term. Always thought of it as: reins area & saddle area , but like the approach. Thanks to you & Momma for the video , oh & Sweet Jane ,
Dry Creek Wrangler School It appears there is a weakness and a mid placement in her front right leg. Also some muscle mass loss where it connects to the blade of the shoulder.

Horseback situational awareness. Love it. I know some people that could use that info just walking. Great information.
These videos make my day. I'm still working to have your temperament on a daily basis. Thank you Sir.

Be Mindful that even if you don't work with horses, these core principles will help with women as well, think deeply and reflect.
Thanks, Dewayne. I've never spent much time around horses, but I'll definitely be working on this in my communication with other people.
Lucky is the person who gets to live by his principles.
If he doesn't live by them, they're not his principles at all, they're his costume

That is a beautiful horse from Los Angeles California never even seen one up close
Thanks for sharing the reality and your wisdom.
it’s so refreshing to hear him talk when i go to a school in florida and everyone’s ego is absolutely through the roof
Good stuff, as always, Dwayne. I like that three zone approach. Never looked at it like that.
