Thank you for the demonstration of highly skilled labor that is hardly seen to be appreciated. Your demonstrating and showing it in this presentation was very well done by everyone who made it. Good work.
Look out when Pat says dodn’t matter and that’s over. Cause when that’s said you’re done! I tried a horse from him and he was rank and now no more communication. He’s a taker!!
Christa - I'm going to try to address your comment as politely as possible given that you have chosen to make this public. First, you told us that you wanted a young horse that you could finish yourself. Pat asked you about your fear level. You said that you didn't have a fear level which I think we can both admit is not the case. The horse that you tried for a week is young, green, and very smart, which we discussed at length. He quickly deduced that you do have a fear level. Please understand that this is the very same horse that was ridden by two of our students without incident over the course of around 60 days. So I would recommend that you look in the mirror as we all have had to do in our lives with horses. Since getting the horse back, we've had zero problems with him aside from him not knowing much. He will be featured in upcoming videos marking his progress this winter. Now on to the crux of the problem here. You felt slighted because Pat didn't call you after you left him a Veteran's Day message. I will apologize for not immediately returning your call but you have to know that Veteran's Day is sometimes hard on veterans. It brings up all kinds of emotions. Add to that the fact that Pat is preparing to return to Texas next week for the Valor program and he just hasn't been able to be as responsive as he usually tries to be. So you can piss and moan and try to publicly bash our business all you want. You can even insult a person like Gabby who has put herself out there for public scrutiny with no thought to her own ego but it only proves my case that you should look in the mirror. I hope that you will take this advice in the spirit that it is given. You were actually on my list today to reach out to see how you've been doing but now I don't think I will.
Through your videos it is apparent for all to see how knowledgable, reliable, conscientious , kind and patient that Pat and Deb are towards their 4-legged wards and an eager 2-legged "trainee" aka Gabs to whom I say, "good on you for putting yourself out there in order to learn the ropes", so to speak😉 You all are loved and admired. Thank you so much for pulling the curtain back for all to see what patience, hardwork and care goes into the making of a quality life between horse, mule, donkey and human. Happy trails, one and all.
Love this video!! Everything has simplicity and purpose! I had never heard the part about peeing before going into camp or the barn - simplicity and purpose!
Pat, how long is your lash rope? I normally run a 50' for simple hitches and a 65' for others, but run out of rope on loads with bulky top loads. For example, I quite often leave the wall tent in the trailer, and just pack a bedroll across the middle. If one of my kids goes with me, we pack 2 bedrolls, one on top of each hard pannier, and that's when I run out of rope with a walker hitch or a double-diamond.
I have a question, what happens when you get down the trail and your chinchas loosen up? Kinda like when I'm riding awhile, l will retighten my chincha.
You get off and tighten them up when necessary. Sometimes if you’re on a relatively flat trail and the pack is balanced, you don’t need a very tight cinch.
omg that mule is soooo patient!
OOooowwww ! Who is that handsome appaloosa tied to the trailer?

One of the best days in Gabby’s life! ❤🎉

@ Not so Christa- there is more to this story than you’re seeing.

What an education! ❤ Had to download this one for sure 😁 Thank you so very much for sharing this knowledge with all of us ❤

So I asked Pat the length and he said it's 20 feet longer than he thought he would need! I'll try to remember to measure it sometime
I've always said it's not overkill if it works.

@PatnDebPuckett thank you for replying. It just looked like it would be difficult to get to them with panners on and the diamond hitch on .
@@davidgregg2778 That's why long latigos which hang down quite a ways are helpful.
