Thank you to Pat and all of our service men and women, for your service. I am deeply regretful that as a nation, we have overlooked your service and sacrifice. I agree with many here, this is election night and I long for Pat to be our candidate. With prayers for our nation, we hope for a united nation. Pat you mentioned the Seabees…. Your words of 2020, ironically hit home to me today. The sentiment still rings true…. We need the Seabees here stateside. I am in upper SC, where trees crashed&destroyed homes . So many friends & our families in western NC are still struggling after 9/27/24 Hurricane Helene’s floods have devastated so many towns and cities. The boots on the ground in so many places were retired military persons spearheading efforts to come help. Retired military bikers bringing chain saws…… rebuilding missing roads for immediate access, bringing in water and food .It is the neighbors helping neighbors. Private helicopter pilots volunteering….Some intelligent gentlemen said, it is the blue collar worker that is saving the day here in NC. Pat and Deb- thank you for sharing your wisdom. Horse sense goes a long long way to making better people.
Pat for President of USA! We need a common sense Cowboy like him in the presidential office!! And thank you for the informative video on the Hackamore!
Morning 🌞 all! Pat, thank you for your service! And thank you for sharing your thoughts and wisdom. I really wish that the people who need to hear this, were listening. My heart goes out to all affected by the fires. ❤️🌄⛈️🌈
I always love to listen to people when they know what they are talking about.....thank you for your videos and the extra information...I really enjoy it.
You are one of the smartest people I have heard talk about this! Proper management is key! And that isn't what we've been doing for the last 60-70 years.
First time watching one of your videos today. I am left in awe over the amount of information and working practical use you have for tack and horses. The world is in short order of Gents like yourself and can honestly say that I’d give my left arm to be able to “apprentice” under you. Really just to be in the vicinity to soak in everything I could, by Osmosis or any other method. Great video, you address topics in your video others just seem to pass right over or don’t talk about because they don’t understand or have zero experience with. You have yourself a HUGE fan way up here in Alberta, Canada.
Very informative about the bosal. Thanks. Also, you’re right about logging it needs to come back to national forests much more than is being done. Logging and prescribed burning is very important here in Georgia among the pines.
Love the video! Thank you for your service and agree with everything you said about the military helping here with Tornadoes, the feeding of the machine with the wars in foreign lands and the mismanagement of the forest fires. I live in St. Louis Missouri and we have the flooding.
Pat and Deborah thanks for all of these horsemanship video's. I amaze myself as i watch i pick up little things Pat does or things i can do to become a better horseman. I do enjoy your video's and banter!!
Keep preaching, people need to hear more common sense today!!! Thanks for the bosal info too!! Do you know how many people I pestered as a kid for information like this.
I also grew up here in CA. You are dead on with your thoughts about the forests and managing CA fires. Also enjoyed the video and kept looking up the terms you mentioned. I learned a lotfrom this video!
Always informative!!! I wish I knew of a committee that Pat could lend his "common sense" to. Seems the elected officials are lacking, to say the least in that area. It's funny how you seemed to have developed this online family that you won't ever meet but care about you! Be safe.
I agree completely with you on California’s forest management problem. You are exactly right about how it happened and how to fix it. I lived in Paradise , Ca. during the 2018 Campfire. We lost everything. Thankfully we , along with our animals, made it out safe. Others weren’t so lucky. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I love your no nonsense style and common sense.
Great information!! I’ve been riding my bosal a little to high with to much weight on the bottom!! Thank you for the time to make these videos. They’ve been a big help to an ole hand like me!!
From one old draftee to another thanks for the info on the Bosal. You are absolutely correct about Forrest and Range management. The thing is the Bureaucrats in charge don't know anything about Spotted Owls as they have not studied history.
Pat Puckett for President 2020! Imagine a genuine cowboy like Mr. Puckett as our president? Things would really get straightened out. Thank you for your service kind sir. Where do you get your rough out saddles? Love my rawhide reata. What a beautiful art form...the old vaquero style of roping. Hasta la proxima vez señor. God Bless cowboys!
As of March 25th 2021, here in Plumas County another dry winter: Total rainfall for water year (oct 1 - sep 30) [non QA/QC'd data]: 11.04 inches. We normally get 48 inches per year. I am praying we don't burn again this summer, but it's not looking good. Thanks for your informative videos and thanks for your service. Much appreciated.
You make great videos, especially for me who don't know anything about anything to do with horse! But my wife loves riding so I'm learning haha. As for you opinions at the end here I couldn't agree more on all of it! So don't die we need the old guys who know how it really works. Thanks keep it up!
I love all your videos! Thank you for that. My mare has a very low palette and can not handle any kind of a bit. She was born with a severe parrot mouth. With the help of my veterinarian, floating her teeth and me putting daily pressure on her upper teeth to push them back, we were able to get her front upper teeth and lower teeth to match up. She is now 7 years old. Her low palette was probably the same deformity that was related to her parrot mouth. I ride her in a rope halter and did extensive ground work and in saddle work with her and she is as soft as butter. She collects well and I just have to pick up my reins, sit back and give her a little squeeze, she lowers her head, tucks and she backs up wonderfully. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you for allowing me to see the light on the details of bosal placement. I now realize that so long as the signals are light or subtle then the nose cartilage is not compromised.
Thanks, Pat. I am in agreement with you on the logging/thinning of the forests. Northern Az is a great big fire just waiting to happen. We need to find a balance on these issues because that is what Mother Nature is - Balance. She will always balance things out in the end. Of course, it was not only the environmentalists who screwed things up. The logging industry has had a hand in that as well, in my opinion. Good to see you and thanks for doing the videos, Deb. They are very helpful.
A comment on my comment: There was a huge fire in 1910 called The Big Burn which caused a lot of damage and killed quite a few people. In the aftermath of that fire, the citizenry demanded that the Forest Service stop all fires before they had a chance to go anywhere. This practice, too, has contributed to the constant and very dangerous buildup of fuels in the forests over the last 100 years. (It's on us, folks.) Thanks.
That was great bc I've been wondering how you decide which horse you're going to develop into a bridle horse. I was curious whether temperament or attitude was part of it. So, no, it's mostly conformation -- or at least it starts there. Thanks so much.
Great demo, Bosal is way to complicated for me to worry about. I can ride in one of those rope halters you have on them there. It all depends on how light and responsive the horse is. I got as far as the transition curb bit and stayed right there. IT's all he needs. Not even a chin strap. There was a wave of ecologists that even effected the Logging on the 49th West Coast Logging. Yes we got the spotted owl story too. British Columbia is on Fire too. Forests left to thick and to old catching fire. Science can over think it's self. Harvest trees like a Farmer harvests crops. Cut and replant. You won't get that old dead brush that catches fire so easily. Your spot on Pat. Thanks.
Your statement about confirmation affecting bridal horses turned a light on for me. I have a quarter horse I rode into the spade. He breaks at the poll great but carries his head really low. I have read that the tilt of the spade should match the slope of the shoulder as a guideline. I also remember that you once said that a shank with a curve in the shank like a Santa Susanna will help lift elevate the neck. Would a Santa Susanna shank on a spade in theory give more neck elevation than a Santa Barbara
Pat you are spot on, log the forest or mother nature, who is cruel, will clear it for us. The Naitive Americans 150 years ago would set fire to the forest late in the fall, it would clear the undergrowth and refresh the meadows. Well John Muir said we must steward this forest. That began the decline of the forest health.
I’m a airplane guy who rides horses in forest service land. There is so much downfall that you cannot get down many trails. They are spending so much of their budget on fire fighting (with airplanes too) that they spend no money on fuel management. It’s a no win. The fire fighting budget will continue to go up until all is burnt. Then they will say it’s a success. Cut costs by 1/2, your totally correct in my mind sir.
Thanks for your service, Pat. Military industrial complex most inefficient use of taxes, and, they are an embarrassment to this country with their incestuous cycle. My friend worked administering those military contracts in DC for thirty years, so my knowledge of the travesty is first hand. Bless you for mentioning the things that have to get better.
Are you willing to show-n-tell about the face chain/conchos/bling on the hackamore you fitted to the bay mare? p.s. so far three horses here have voted "yes" for your missing link snaffle so thank you for inventing that. near Monterey CA.
Hello guys , so pat , over the years of riding in bosals I’ve noticed the bars tend to bend in the direction of the wraps , from sweat and leaving the wraps tight , I loosen the wraps a bit when I’m done and tighten them up when I’m ready to ride... have you never experienced your bosal having a twist in it from leaving your macate tight all the time ? I truly appreciate everything you record and share with us .... you guys stay safe and healthy.
Pat & Deb Puckett well some do , but I guess the one’s that don’t now that I’m thinking about it are the ones that do have a slight twist, I was always told “you take your boots off at night when you go to bed so you take your Macate off your Bosal when you’re done riding” , you are truly a master horseman and a wealth of information I wish I could ride with you for a weekend and just soak up as much of your knowledge as I possibly could, you two take care .
I have ridden all my horses in bosals, 5,10 or 15 year olds. They all have their own bosal, fitted much like you and they all stop on body motion, after a few years ;) Oh, and they are all Missouri Fox Trotters. We trail ride, lots, sort and work cattle and just now getting into ranch roping. I use a fiador instead of a "normal" throat latch for several reasons. One reason is I like to keep the bosal from falling into the mouth and off that soft muscle you speak of in your video. We find if we ride for 6 hours or so that it rubs and causes that area to be very sensitive. Any thoughts? BTW-we're in central Ohio.
very interesting , i was going to get a bosal as my girl is running through her sidepull, she was started and trained in a sidepull, she is now 8.. and has mouth issues only reason we are still bitless, as the bit causes her pain and causes her to act out.. thoughts.. remaiin in a sidepull or put her in a snaffle again..
@@PatnDebPuckett type of hay, where you get it, how you keep your horses so healthy looking with no pasture. I'm from Ohio so it's a whole different ballgame. Interesting how horses thrive on no pasture. 😊
I use bosals on my horses and what I do to shape and then store them is this. I put the bosal on their nose and find the top arch shape I want and then keeping that shape transfer it onto a 2x4 or 2x6 and trace it. Then I find the bottom width and transfer it also onto the wood. I cut it out and then wrap my bosal down around the wood. Each horse has their own bosal shape and I write their name on it and store them like that in my tack room. Works great.
Here on the prairie in South Dakota. I’ve been told that over grazing promotes more sage brush in a pasture which I’ve seen a pasture full of sage brush next to one with not. We have fires here as well but lots of people are watching for them so they don’t burn a lot. But 30,000 acres is a lot for a rancher around here. But do you think those pastures that were not grazed as much actually just catch fire more often than the sagebrush ones?
Of course it makes sense. You obviously know a thing or two about hackamores but I like an uphill horse myself. It allows them to work off their hind quarters far better than a downhill horse.
He's gotta head like a Suffolk ram, lol! Good video. Great info. Yep, intensive prescribed grazing, and logging would be great. The scumbags need to stop geo-engineering/ chem-trails/ weather manipulation & let it rain, too, a**holes!
A friend is the cowboy for the Ute Nation near Gunnison, CO. A bunch of geologists showed up wanting to study prairie chickens. He told them, "I'll show you where there's some prairie chickens." He took them to the headquarters, where there are corrals, cabins, & a couple of houses. The prairie chickens went running up under the boardwalks in front of the little cabin units. He proceeded to explain to them how he had shot every coyote that he could around there & that was why the prairie chickens were safe there. He also told them that they should be pro- grazzing because sheepmen & cowboys are pretty much the only ones who have much impact on coyote populations. I hope he did some good. It seems a lot of over educated idiots can't learn anything, unless it's written in a book.
What kind of halter are you suggesting Sir? Because I'd like to try that. My horse is 10. I've ridden her in a nylon halter just for fun. And she did fine. Do I need a leather halter? Thank you kindly. Y'all be safe and take care! 🧡 From Tennessee.
If making a bridle horse isn't an option for a certain horse, is there a certain western bit you'd recommend? My gelding, who is approx. 12, has been prone to running off. I have gotten him softened up pretty good in a controlled environment, and he's a calmer horse than he used to be. I've been switching it up between riding him in a halter (with the extra knots), a bosal (which he does pretty good on), and a snaffle. Just not sure what to ride him in outside, and what my goal should be to be riding him in. Any advise would be appreciated.
In case it's relevant, he's a thoroughbred type quarter horse with some Arabian in him. Fairly tall, athletic, and can be emotional, which in some respects may not be a good combination lol, but he is a smart intelligent horse.
First teach him the one rein stop in the halter and the snaffle. Forget the bosal if he already knows how to run off: ua-cam.com/video/ECyhsfW6lDk/v-deo.html When you can do the one rein stop in an arena at all three gaits, you can go outside. Then look up all of our videos on “the logs.” When you can do them one handed in your snaffle, you’re ready to transition to a western bit. ua-cam.com/video/PAlXtdfYRkc/v-deo.html
My grandfather taught me how to care for the land in a way that clears dead trees and helps the soil rather than depleting it the way the big export commodities farmers do now.
@@aprilibarra4405 I would love to do a podcast but haven't been able to speak since a surgery 12 years ago. However, others have done it for me. I looked through UA-cam after seeing your comment and came upon some channels about diversity farming. That would be a very good start. My grandfather rotated crops yearly instead for ease of crop harvesting. Look up crop rotation or read some books on the subject in order to find out which crops replenish and which ones does each type of plant take what from the soil. The subject; crop rotation.
We sure do. Our bush is ment to burn in order to regenerate. If left too long between fires the fuel builds up so much that any fire that comes through is so furious that it kills the bush and any animal in it's path.
Exactly right about the logging and grazing. And how much harm is that smoke doing to our lungs. There would be a lot more income derived from harvesting trees and feeding cows also.
Art from Marin County Ca. I like Chinaco's roman, or almost roman nose. He looks rather like a university professor looking over some questionable students.
Do you think the performance horse fad is the reason horses a breaking down. Most of them are done by nine or ten in my part of the country. One more thing is the gray horse a lot smoother and easier to ride all day than the bay
Any discipline that depends on repetitive movements can cause a horse to break down especially when combined with the small hoof sizes in modern quarter horses.
Managed forests--- sustainable yield when done correctly. Way overdone on the environmental restrictions over the last 5 decades. It will take some time to get back to some common sense. Particularly since common sense is a superpower these days.
Thank you to Pat and all of our service men and women, for your service. I am deeply regretful that as a nation, we have overlooked your service and sacrifice. I agree with many here, this is election night and I long for Pat to be our candidate. With prayers for our nation, we hope for a united nation. Pat you mentioned the Seabees…. Your words of 2020, ironically hit home to me today. The sentiment still rings true…. We need the Seabees here stateside. I am in upper SC, where trees crashed&destroyed homes . So many friends & our families in western NC are still struggling after 9/27/24 Hurricane Helene’s floods have devastated so many towns and cities. The boots on the ground in so many places were retired military persons spearheading efforts to come help. Retired military bikers bringing chain saws…… rebuilding missing roads for immediate access, bringing in water and food .It is the neighbors helping neighbors. Private helicopter pilots volunteering….Some intelligent gentlemen said, it is the blue collar worker that is saving the day here in NC.
Pat and Deb- thank you for sharing your wisdom. Horse sense goes a long long way to making better people.
common sense sir....these days you are a very rare specimen. Thank you
The BEST hackamore explanation I’ve seen. Light bulb moment for me and agreed with your common sense preach at the end. Pat for President.
Thank you and ALL veterans reading this, for your service.
Pat for President of USA! We need a common sense Cowboy like him in the presidential office!! And thank you for the informative video on the Hackamore!
My Dad was a Sea Bee in Vietnam. Thanks for your service.
Good information...thank you ..and your absolutely right on the situation with the forrest fires...

this is the most informative Bosal video I have seen. thank you for this.
Thanks for your service. Love the videos. Thanks for talking about the Sea B’s. I was Red Horse that’s the Air Force version.

First time watching one of your videos today. I am left in awe over the amount of information and working practical use you have for tack and horses. The world is in short order of Gents like yourself and can honestly say that I’d give my left arm to be able to “apprentice” under you. Really just to be in the vicinity to soak in everything I could, by Osmosis or any other method.
Great video, you address topics in your video others just seem to pass right over or don’t talk about because they don’t understand or have zero experience with.
You have yourself a HUGE fan way up here in Alberta, Canada.

Much appreciation for the awesome training and commentary, kudos from Kings River Nevada
I spit some beer out when you said that colt had a head like a suffolk ram. I am sure he is a fine horse but I have always thought that about his head
He's finally growing into it though, right? 😂
If time would allow could you show how to start a young horse in a basal sometime. Thanks
That is the plan with Chinaco. Stay tuned!

I truly appreciate everything you record and share with us .... you guys stay safe and healthy.
Ohhh... by the way , Greetings from northern Nevada
We haven’t had that happen. Do your bosals have plugs?

I fully agree with you on the fires. I have always thought how they handled it is ridiculous.
Thanks a lot for your videos and Adios to you Sir.
Curious about feeding your horses since you have no pasture. I bet that's expensive buying hay out there. Maybe a video on that?
What would the video cover? Stacking hay in the barn? 😆
@@PatnDebPuckett type of hay, where you get it, how you keep your horses so healthy looking with no pasture. I'm from Ohio so it's a whole different ballgame. Interesting how horses thrive on no pasture. 😊

Then I find the bottom width and transfer it also onto the wood. I cut it out and then wrap my bosal down around the wood. Each horse has their own bosal shape and I write their name on it and store them like that in my tack room. Works great.
We don’t have as many bosals as you! 😆
Here on the prairie in South Dakota. I’ve been told that over grazing promotes more sage brush in a pasture which I’ve seen a pasture full of sage brush next to one with not. We have fires here as well but lots of people are watching for them so they don’t burn a lot. But 30,000 acres is a lot for a rancher around here. But do you think those pastures that were not grazed as much actually just catch fire more often than the sagebrush ones?
Of course it makes sense. You obviously know a thing or two about hackamores but I like an uphill horse myself. It allows them to work off their hind quarters far better than a downhill horse.
Chinaco is so beutiful😍
He's gotta head like a Suffolk ram, lol! Good video. Great info. Yep, intensive prescribed grazing, and logging would be great. The scumbags need to stop geo-engineering/ chem-trails/ weather manipulation & let it rain, too, a**holes!
A friend is the cowboy for the Ute Nation near Gunnison, CO. A bunch of geologists showed up wanting to study prairie chickens. He told them, "I'll show you where there's some prairie chickens." He took them to the headquarters, where there are corrals, cabins, & a couple of houses. The prairie chickens went running up under the boardwalks in front of the little cabin units. He proceeded to explain to them how he had shot every coyote that he could around there & that was why the prairie chickens were safe there. He also told them that they should be pro- grazzing because sheepmen & cowboys are pretty much the only ones who have much impact on coyote populations. I hope he did some good. It seems a lot of over educated idiots can't learn anything, unless it's written in a book.
Love this video
I would love to see how you ride a young horse in a bosal ?
Im between santa cruz fire an henry coe fire. Omg !
Well you will get your wish as soon as Pat starts Chinaco. Stay safe!
What kind of halter are you suggesting Sir? Because I'd like to try that. My horse is 10. I've ridden her in a nylon halter just for fun. And she did fine. Do I need a leather halter? Thank you kindly. Y'all be safe and take care! 🧡 From Tennessee.
The rope halters that appear in our videos. Not flat nylon or leather halters.
@@PatnDebPuckett okay. Thank you for replying. I didn't realize you could ride in those. 😁
If making a bridle horse isn't an option for a certain horse, is there a certain western bit you'd recommend? My gelding, who is approx. 12, has been prone to running off. I have gotten him softened up pretty good in a controlled environment, and he's a calmer horse than he used to be. I've been switching it up between riding him in a halter (with the extra knots), a bosal (which he does pretty good on), and a snaffle. Just not sure what to ride him in outside, and what my goal should be to be riding him in. Any advise would be appreciated.
In case it's relevant, he's a thoroughbred type quarter horse with some Arabian in him. Fairly tall, athletic, and can be emotional, which in some respects may not be a good combination lol, but he is a smart intelligent horse.
First teach him the one rein stop in the halter and the snaffle. Forget the bosal if he already knows how to run off: ua-cam.com/video/ECyhsfW6lDk/v-deo.html
When you can do the one rein stop in an arena at all three gaits, you can go outside.
Then look up all of our videos on “the logs.” When you can do them one handed in your snaffle, you’re ready to transition to a western bit.

My grandfather taught me how to care for the land in a way that clears dead trees and helps the soil rather than depleting it the way the big export commodities farmers do now.
That would be a good series to to make to teach others. :0) I would watch to learn.
@@aprilibarra4405 I would love to do a podcast but haven't been able to speak since a surgery 12 years ago. However, others have done it for me. I looked through UA-cam after seeing your comment and came upon some channels about diversity farming. That would be a very good start. My grandfather rotated crops yearly instead for ease of crop harvesting. Look up crop rotation or read some books on the subject in order to find out which crops replenish and which ones does each type of plant take what from the soil. The subject; crop rotation.
Australia has the same problem with fires for the same reasons.
We sure do. Our bush is ment to burn in order to regenerate. If left too long between fires the fuel builds up so much that any fire that comes through is so furious that it kills the bush and any animal in it's path.
So for the bay horse, what would be your bit of choice as an end goal?
She will ride in a Santa Susan cheekpiece and half breed mouthpiece.
Well said, all military should stay home...
what breed is Chinaco? @pat
Andalusian/Lusitano.
Pat & Deb Puckett how are they for working cattle? I know they are used for that in Spain, but I have never seen them here working cattle. Thank you
Heck I live in Western Kansas and we get heavy fogs in the mornings when I get om The bus for school
The haze isn’t fog. It’s smoke from the fires. Just in case you didn’t understand that.
@@PatnDebPuckett ya that's what's grandpa said. He's got a busted up arm so he doesn't get up as early and he said it's still around here at like 8:30
Mr. Puckett, could not agree more about what to do and not do with US service men and women.
What is your opinion about a bosal on a young mule?
Pat has no opinion on that subject. He doesn’t know enough about them.
Exactly right about the logging and grazing. And how much harm is that smoke doing to our lungs. There would be a lot more income derived from harvesting trees and feeding cows also.
What about a 10yr old that has a few rides?
So why do you not use a fiador on your bosal?
Because our bosals are shorter and lighter than the old school bosals. By not using a fiador, I get more drop and more signal for my horse.
Art from Marin County Ca.
I like Chinaco's roman, or almost roman nose. He looks rather like a university professor looking over some questionable students.
Do you think the performance horse fad is the reason horses a breaking down. Most of them are done by nine or ten in my part of the country. One more thing is the gray horse a lot smoother and easier to ride all day than the bay
Any discipline that depends on repetitive movements can cause a horse to break down especially when combined with the small hoof sizes in modern quarter horses.
@@PatnDebPuckett thank you
It seems that those that have poor feel would risk breaking or damaging the cartilage on the lower nose.
The bosal won’t work for those with poor feel.
amen the bandwagon
Why is white around the eyes of the horse?
Swat for flies.
Now if we could just get our politicians to listen to you!
Need to kick EPA out the door!!
What breed is the two ponies?😍 are they mustangs?
NO. The mare is a QH cross and the big colt is an Andalusian/Lusitano cross.
Managed forests--- sustainable yield when done correctly. Way overdone on the environmental restrictions over the last 5 decades. It will take some
time to get back to some common sense. Particularly since common sense is a superpower these days.
Horse looks very shut down and unhappy.😢
I can assure you that both horses in this video are happy, healthy, and well adjusted.
