Some Common Sense Saddle Tips
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лют 2020
- We've recently gotten a lot of questions on the kind of saddle we ride, how we pad our horses, the kind of cinches we use, the dimensions of our saddles, so we decided to make a video that covers these subjects. In this video, we saddle three very different equines with different pad and blanket configurations to show how everything works. As always, we appreciate your support.

"I make a real point to get the horn towards the front and the cantle towards the back." What a legend.
words of wisdom
Real Statement to be sure, chuckled a bit about the character he has with it.
"If you have a vinyl saddle or a leopard-print seat, we're pretty much done talking. This is nothing you want to hear." I laughed out loud! Love it.
"Why are we here? Doesn't matter." LOL.
Lol!
I’m dead!
Hahaha I died 🌵
This was my favorite comment. This is the type of man I want to learn from and have in my corner. Love this guy
I know!! lololol
“Why are we here?…..It doesn’t matter.” OMG- you’re the greatest man ever. ❤
“ This mule, she could live on scenery” LOL. Now THATS what you call an easy keeper !
Yet they’re some of the biggest foodies around.
“Horn towards the front - Cantle towards the back” priceless
Oh my god I want to have a beer with this man 😂
It sounds like he does clinics, I hope he does one in our area!
Sir, aside from the volumes of information you have and you share so generously, the one single thing that you exhibit that keeps me coming back to hot videos is… you are real. You are who you are. That’s rare so days.
Thank you!
I knew this was going to be a good lesson when Pat said, "First thing is you don't want a saddle that leaks..." Very good video, guys, and thanks for taking the time.

What does that even mean...a saddle that leaks?
@@henrysmith180 Henry, one explanation is when you find yourself on the ground spitting dust. You see your saddle gear in a pile 10' away. And your horse happily heading home....dragging reins. Simply because you bought cheap saddle gear that you did not thoroughly check out for potential malfunction before taking your ride. Enjoy your walk! Hope that spells it out....
I've never had one that doesn't leak, haha. They don't make them.
@@barbedstar6480 So the thing that "leaks" is the rider?? Hahaha!! That's an interesting way to put it 😂
I'm a custom maker 30 years, I like what pat is preaching, I'll add a couple thing from my experience to share. Gullet width and angle is the key. Get your saddles made or purchased with a 92.5 deg angle and 6.5" wide and you won't have an issue! Don't get confused by full, semi QH etc, there is no standard. As Pat says, you can pad up but never pad down. And do your best to order your horses with withers!!!
Thank you very much for your comment. I believe our saddle is 6.5 wide when measuring at the bars instead of the gullet but I’ll double check. Thanks for the tip on the degrees. It’s always been a point of confusion.
👍🏼
You do beautiful work!
@@PatnDebPuckett You bet, I hope this helps people figure this out! Feel free to ask me any questions about this and I'll do my best to answer
Not sure If I agree with the 92.5 degree bars. My horse are similar to pats: a 16 Hand Belgian Belgian cross built like Shoshone, a 17.1 thoroughbred Hanoverian cross, a 16 Hand thoroughbred type warm blood and a 15.2 running bred QH. My saddles have 45 degree bars and fit them all fine with the correct pads. I have tried a friends McCall with 92.5 degree bars and they do not have the wither clearance because there are just too wide. Great job Pat and Deb!
It`s funny how older folks become less patient and just go straight to the point without any beating around the bush. :-)
This cowboy is getting younger with wide girth. 👆🏼✊🏼👍🏻
I love it! That’s how it should be!
Its not a lack of patience, we old folks just recognize the reality of the countdown clock.
@@johncriswell1106 hahaha...fair enough!
Im just coming into horses. Im 3 years after this was made and extremely grateful for the time ya'll have taken to educate us. Many thanks and may God bless your family and preserve your way of life for future generations : )
That’s keen saddling. Y’all had me at “saddling with politeness”.
Strangely NOT polite to the mule! Sorry Molly!
YAH..I LOVED THAT SAYIN'. WELL.. SIR TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND THOUGHT AND FOLLOW THROUGH...TO HIS SADDLIN'.. AND HE TAKES
*GOOD CARE* OF THE HORSE OR MULE FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE ... WHICH, TO ME, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. I'M SO PLEASED TO BE TAUGHT BY *PAT* ...THESE THINGS.
That man right there knows a thing or two because he has seen a thing or two. Great video. I aspire to have that kind of wisdom on ANY subject one day.
I am right there with you!
Horn front, cantle back...got it!😂
All you need to know right there!
Hearing u talk reminds me of a old Cowboy that took me under his wing and taught me alot. I was 29 years old going through a divorce with a 4 year old little boy. I had been " breaking " horses for the public and had been the " crash dummy" for all the local " cowboys" or " good'ol boys" for the surrounding and two states... lol from time I was big enough to walk on my own. they'd sling me up on anything with a mane and tail with four legs ..I was like a hair in a bisket...up I went and school turned out when the dust settled I was still on the horse barn may have been destroyed but I was still there and me and the horse both thinking " got to be a better way" ... with my life falling apart at home they were my friends ...I've always felt close to horses and knew in my heart there was a better way.. if I wasnt workin in field or farm (I belive I was only kid that prayed for rain 😉) I'd slip off and crawel under someone fence ...
anyway
when I got to " training " them they taught me as I taught them so to speak...ahhhhhh anyway. I thought I knew horses...even was walking up to this Cowboy with the Title : " This is Kelly she is a trainer for blah blah blah snore..... sorry I written a novel here just st to ask u did u ever meet a Cowboy named Linus Thorton (L.A.) at one time had ranch Grandview Lnd and Cattle...
He truely came to me in a time of my life when I was on the edge. . He saw something in me. Put me to work and changed my life . In him I found " The way" . He showed me how to work with the horse. In his words "got to be smarter than the horse." . He use to say when u come through those gates up there leave them damn phones and watches in truck. Cows and horses cant tel time.. u got something to do done even put a kack on nothing out here." Ud better. not let him catch ur horse wringing his tail (spurs are an extension of ur heel not a weapon ) if he caught ya.u pushed and worked cows on foot... he would say " GO SLOW U'LL GET A MORE HORMOUIOUS OUT COME😳) u get in there in. Hurry horse gets flustered cows get flustered u might as well quit cause any nothing good can come from shaken up a dr pepper with the lid only screwed two turns. All that pressure gonna go.. then " SCHOOL TURNS OUT"....
He passed away not to long ago..I took care of horses and cows here in Tenneessee he was on ranch working cows belive in Texas.. never asked him but I belive he was in his late 70s .. rode every day he had a BAD hurnina in stomach .he use to steer wrestle and steer trip.dont see that compition much... oh anyway I'll quit hindering yalls eyeballs....
Thank yall so very much for ur videos and taken the time and work to make them and shre them..sorry again for the novel..I miss him and was setting waiting for next truck to back up to load. Letting every thing take. deep breath and had him on mind when I saw ur video...
Kelly Cooksey English , yours was a great post , thank you !
@@hippiecowgirl4231 thank u... this was truly a touching video . I am touched that u enjoied it.💓.
I enjoyed reading your post. I could feel the love and respect you had for him...
@@janiestevens2581 thank u so much .he was a very importanthat soul i was blessed to have had in my life...thank u again for saying what u did ... may u have a very wonderful (and safe lol) rest of 2020....
@@kellycookseyenglish9909 Did you hear if he had a twin brother? I hope you will tell more stories about him sometime. I love how you can write and I can almost hear his voice.
I always listen to old timers when it comes weather, cows and saddles. Good stuff
You’re killin’ me!
‘We’re pretty much done talking..’
😂😂
That was just perfect & soooo true!!!
The Great part about Pat n Debs videos is,,even if its information im already aware of,its entertaining to hear his take n presentation...Maybe Pat has already addressed it in a previous video,but i want to point out to viewers,the position pat is in,when he reaches for the cinch...
I find watching Pat and Deb's videos strangely comforting and enjoyable. I love Pat's dry humor and expressions. I own horses and always discover something new every day I'm around them. Thanks to Pat for showing me different ways to do things and for sharing his experience and wisdom.
You don't learn all this in one day, thank you for sharing your knowledge
Anything titled Common Sense with Pat is always a good lesson! Lol that would be a new video series. The world needs more common sense in it
His love of horses and the
Responsibility of caring for them, really comes through this video. Properly train, a rider can become a horse’ best friend.
Bless you for sharing your knowledge and experience! You and Deb are treasures.
Brilliantly explained, thanks from Wales UK.
Lots of great information as always. Love your videos!
Great video as always. It's really good to see that video notification in the morning and get to have another informative visit with the Pucketts. Mighty cold here in Saskatchewan Canada this time of year, don't do much with our horses other than feed them, but these videos keep me excited about the riding season to come, when I'll be able to continue putting much of this info to work. Really appreciate it, thanks!
Love the demonstration ,and your sense of humor . Great video !
I love the Californio way, I find myself always in a hurry when it comes to catching, saddling and getting going. Your horses are friends and coworkers. As stockmen we should all take a little more time for our equine partners. We’re not much without them. Thanks Deb and Pat for all the insight.
😊
What a great video! Your videos are so down to earth and have so much good information.
Oh Pat .... your a national treasure.
Love you, and Deb, your quotes, and your knowledge.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story love from Sweden 🤗😊❤🙏🇸🇪
There’s some amazing advice on this video. I’ll be watching it three times.
I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you both for taking the time to educate us. I really enjoy the videos.
Thank you for making these videos. I've learned a bunch from you.
Great demo Pat. Nice camera work Deb. Common sense and experience is the key to success.
Love your attitude and knowledge! Apache Junction, AZ
Always love watching and learning from Deb and Pat Puckett.
Wish I would’ve seen this video sooner. Could have saved myself a lot of money
Same!!
Agreed!
I love the information in your videos as it's very good and helpful for all levels of folks, but the commentary is why I keep watching. You're hilarious!
Humor in fine form today! Great lesson too.
I learn a lot from your no nonsense videos. Thank you for taking the time to impart your experience. And Happy Birthday.
What an empathic, funny and (most of all) full-of-experience review on how to saddle-, cinch- and pad-up your hores. Just amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for making this videos! I love learning from people that actually live this lifestyle and work with horses everyday. There’s an unattainable amount of information we can learn from people like you. It’s hard to find true cowboys east of the Mississippi, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!
Many thanks a detailed explanation , much appreciated.
I just love listening to Mr. Puckett. These videos are great. Especially love his commentary on the Code of the West
Watching this for the second time. Thanks for the advice. I find myself watching your videos more than once on the regular.
Perfect video, thank you for making every word count.
Thank you , very informative and interesting , Dave JONES, Scottsdale, Az.
This man is a true gem
Great information. Its been alot of years since getting a saddle and finding all kinds of information but its all different. Your chat makes more sense to me and what i have done/used over the years.
This is the best saddle fit demonstration I've seen,Thank You for posting 🤎
My kind of man straight forward and real
Thank you Mr. Puckett! Been a long time since I've heard plain language and it was wonderful to me. ('bout laughed too loud to be respectful at the "horn to the front & cantel to the back" comment though)
You and Deb are special people. I am learning so much since I wasn't raised in cattle work or around horses.
Thank you for great words of wisdom.
Perfect and timely session…. The more I learn, the more I don’t know what I don’t know!!! 🙈🐴💕
I can’t thank you enough for answering every question I’ve had for the past 2 months!
Yeah!
That's all I have to say about that!
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
I have a high withered TWH. I have had a time finding a saddle to fit her! So this video has really gave me something to think about! I love your way!
Your dry humor is refreshing! I hear your bride in the background laughing. Keep it up you two- wonderful videos and so much knowledge!
Thanks Pat really enjoyed that one
Great video Mr Pat. Very informative and funny. Horn to the front. Cantel to the rear. LoL
Nice job. Reminds me of my dad teaching me when I was a kid. I really enjoyed this. I needed a non-stressful time out. This was it.
Hi from Dublin in Ireland - just found your videos and love them. Love your easy manner and respect for your animals. Bravo :)
Da Beans concurs. Perfect info, for experienced folks, and those just starting out. The why's...the how comes and the what if's all addressed.
Watching from Morehead City North Carolina. Originally from Amarillo Texas. I enjoyed your video. 🏴☠️
I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
Common sense is right. I love using simple act of observation. You can see in the video the saddles sit well & are going to stay put. Good, practical advice- keepin' the subject simple. And you made me laugh. Keep educatin' the world! :)
Love your sense of humor. Very good information.
another brilliant video, my thanks to the puckets
I love this videos, it’s nice to learn from seasoned horse owners. I have friends that have horses and we do a lot of trail riding. I am looking into buying my own and I love to learn.
Wow ! So very interesting , what talent is shown here , thank you for taking the time to explain ! Stay safe ! Bob
Thank you for sharing such blunt wisdom. I’m not a horse owner but I love learning from those that know what they are talking about. And yes it is very humid this side of the Mississippi. Lol
“......Get one that doesn’t leak.”
😂😂😂😂😂
I learn so much for listening to a real cowboy than anyone other horse person. Thanks, also bonus, you are funny. Love your audio girl too Thanks Maria CT.
Watching from New South Wales, Australia. Very helpful and love all the expressions. I have a seriously mutton withered purebred American Saddlebred mare.
Watched it today for a second time: still informative still entertaining.
He reminds me of my no nonsense Dad. Love it. Straight to the point! Don’t miss it!
Yup that's how it's done. Best video on the topic I've come across.
Real nice lesson. I could have used this in teaching my equine anatomy class. Well done. Thank you.
Another great video! Thank you again for the wealth of information. I think I'll saddle my horse again for the heck of it. And no we aren't from Badger but still in that neck of the woods.
I sure would love to learn more about shoshoned back
Probably would help when stumbling across a horse like this
Thank you for all your efforts to provide all the information
Damn. Now that's how you saddle a horse now. Thank you for sharing..... Good ol cowboy that knows his shit for sure.... New subscriber. I Could listen to this cowboy all day long.
OMG
THIS GUYS NEEDS TO BE ELECTED PRESIDENT !
All matters would be addressed in no time and we would see concrete results.
Thanks Pat. Great video. I learned a lot.
Great video. I feel like I am watching my Dad. Priceless
I’m glad to see somebody else liking thoroughbreds!
I can't wait to watch the videos in take in all the great knowledge man
I learnt something new that I never seen in my 60+ years of riding! Concerning how you strap the back cinch with the straightening strap. Thank you!
You remind me of my Pa. They don't make people like you anymore. May your journies in that saddle be blessed and never wasted. Happy trails to you.
Not sure my comment posted, but thank you for bringing back things that I thought had lost........ God Bless.......
Hi pat Jesse escojeda here in Farmington NM my roping and saddle skills are fantastic watching yours and wife's tips make me look great thanks pat
Lots to learn thanks pat very informative 👍
You Are NOT a SaddleMaker BUT a Vry Smart Man.Thank You.Ct.
Great video it feels like I’m sitting on a bucket having a talk with you guys
Totally agree!
I love that you say the blatant truth. the sense is so common that it just has to be said. Thank you for all that you teach others in these video.
I really appreciated this lesson on using one saddle for multiple back types. My horses are all different. I have always wanted a Wade tree but I need a narrow seat. Tough to find without a custom order. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I agree about pads and cinches. I could never afford more than one good saddle. I did use felt pads with good and sometimes even cheap blankets. I was able to build to the horse with them. The only thing I wish my saddle had different that it had a rear cinch. It works but - I still wish it did. I bought it used in Montana 30 years ago. My health don’t allow me to ride now. So I doubt I change it now.
Love your videos - thanks for the ride along. Would have loved to ride the outside circle with you.
Ralph from Alabama
Glad I met you. Have a good day.
Thank you sir for passing on this knowledge.
Very enjoyable to watch and learn.
