When Dewayne said " I still feel alive" my eyes opened up wide and I felt this lump in my throat.. those 4 little words are so powerful.... thank you very much.
I am 83 years old. Cannot do a lot of the things I used to do, but do the things I can. I get up every morning and thank God for the free gift of eternal life. Romans 6:23. Then I make coffee. I thank God for my wife of 64 years. Taking my Harley to the shop to day for new tires and a little maintenance I use to do my self. But my poor old back just does not like doing those things anymore. I still do most of the things like changing oil and changing spark plugs and fixing any electrical problems. But the heavy stuff is for the young guys to make a little money from me for their service. Fortunate to have a good shop a half mile from my house. Appreciate your wisdom and encouragement. We all need it every day. Tomorrow I will do this or that, Lord willing and the creek don't rise. God bless you for taking the time for insight in what you do the cowboy way. You have a way of putting people at ease but also not to give up and do nothing. Just find another horse to ride. I like it. I retired 19 years ago from being a trouble shooter for a refinery pipeline. I had 220 miles of pipeline and four pump stations to keep running. Worked around pump stations with 1400 pounds of pressure on gasoline and 2400 volt pump motors. Lots of driving and worked alone most of the time.
@@jeffdixon5430 Thanks guys. I just got done mowing my acre of yard this morning. I live a couple of miles from a small town of 7500. Just thankful I can still do the things I need to do, and I will keep on keeping on until I can't. The Lord said, occupy until I come. That is what we do. I owe a lot to my wife who has supported me in everything I have done. When I was 14, back in 1955, I had an old 1942 Harley "45" flat head. I was at a track meet 4 miles away, and asked a girl if she wanted to go for a ride. She hopped on behind me and we went for a little ride around town. She is the one I have been married to for 65 years on June first. Best earthly decision I have made my whole life.
I had to do that with a career. I lost a job that I had come to really enjoy and it paid really well. It went away unexpectedly. I went broke in the process and learned to rely on God. His provision came from places I didn't expect. In the end I found another horse to ride. It's a good job and it fits me pretty well. In the process I got closer to God, to my family, and found a church family too. My wife found her own horse (career) that she loves along the way too. Our future isn't going to be hardship free but it's looking better every day.
My first horse, Hooch, died unexpectedly at my feet in 2009. Either a heart attack or aneurysm. A couple of months later I bought his replacement, Whiskey. Of course I’ll never forgot Hooch. I sincerely believe he moved on to make it possible for Whiskey to happen. Nothing like taking in the scent of a new horse! Congratulations!!
Get busy living and don't worry about things you can not control. Your passion for things in this life are the things that dreams are made of! Best Wishes to You and Your Family!!!
I have to find that song. _"Take Another Road"_ by Jimmy Buffett has always been a favorite of mine. It's what I've wanted to do since the family disintegrated. It's just me and the Lord since the cat died about 7 weeks ago. _"What if it goes right?"_ THANKS, Dwayne. I needed that!
I started welling up with tears a little bit when you said "What if it goes right?" Just reminds me of all the times I expect things to go wrong. Thanks again Dewayne!
Dropping an obligatory "God bless you", Dewayne. You've been helping me get through some tough times with your videos. Heavily appreciative of you and your advice and philosophy.
Sitting here watching my horses brace against the wind. Feeling a bit weary bracing the winds of life challenges myself. Single lady in my 50's here building my little ranch. Your encouragement means more than you know. So many blessings in our lives including you and your dear wife 💕 Thank you both
Hello Dewayne, I live in the bitterroot valley of Montana and I’ve been following you since you were over in the Palouse. You and I are kindred spirits I think. I’m also originally from Kentucky and in a few days I’ll be turning 67. I’m not much of an internet guy so I’ve been nervous about posting comments. After listening to you in this video I just wanted to introduce myself and let others know that you are 100% spot on. After being away from the cowboy world for quite awhile I was ready to get back to this life, and it’s exactly what you say. I purchased 3 horses in an online auction over in Oregon 2 1/2 years ago. Everyone I know thought I was crazy but it has been extremely rewarding. It’s taken a lot to get past accepting that I’m not 25 anymore,And yes I have fallen off and I sure don’t bounce like I used to, but it’s all been worth it. Thanks for everything y’all are doing, you’re making a difference for folks.
ever since i was a kid in the 60's i wanted a horse so bad i would sneak with a friend to a local stable against my dad's rule. i always read books about them and just dreamed i would own one. life does get in the way and after raising 3 kids , my husband and i bought 2 acres with the idea to build a house and finally get my horse. my husband got hurt and became disabled. i knew we couldn't afford the dream so i just prayed and asked God to have horses for me in heaven . i bought those 2 acres in my 50's thinking it wasn't too late. now i am 69. no regrets b/c i still have my best friend, my husband ,and we go camping with our 4 boston terriers . God bless love your wisdom and philosophy on life.
I am currently 19 years old. I have a decent job, I work with good people, and all things considered I should enjoy it, but I don't. I do not enjoy what I do and have felt for a long time that I'm not where I'm supposed to be. Ever since starting this job my mental and physical health have declined to the lowest point they've been in a long time. The whole time that I've been feeling this stress, depression, and anxiety, I've felt guilty. Most of the people I've confided in about my uncertainty, have told me that I should be grateful for the position I'm in, and this just increases the guilt. Watching this video made me realize that no position in life is worth sacrificing yourself. I think it may just be time for me to find another horse to ride. Thank you Dewayne. God bless you.
@@tylerhammond8392 my last day at my current job is tomorrow! I will instead be working with a local business building a website for them and focusing more on a passion project of mine. I was worried how I’d feel approaching these last days at my current job, but as I get closer I feel more and more excited.
Wow -- super impactful. I am young but for several years the wind has been absent from my sails. I have no excitement for my future except when Jesus returns, perhaps very soon. I was sharing a prayer request earlier this week that I feel like I've "missed my calling" "missed the boat I was supposed to take to different harbors" and in response to my prayer request the advice given to me was: there's still life in you so obviously you haven't missed your calling. God still has a plan for you, and that was really comforting to me. Made me feel like less of a failure. ❤ Made me feel like God hadn't given up on me or wasn't up there rolling His eyes feeling like He has to just "deal with me." Instead, He loves me. He has a perfect plan for me. He works all things out for good. ❤
People have been waiting for Jesus to return since he paid for our sins. Just focus on making yourself the best version of yourself. That's all the lord wants for all of.
I wouldn’t advise putting your life on hold because you think Jesus is coming. There is a very long history of humans that did nothing but rant and rave in town squares about how the rapture was coming that died without ever seeing it. Whether the rapture comes is God’s business and God’s business alone, it does you no good sitting around making plans for it & creating stagnancy in your life.
@@avril99887766 @avril99887766 Agreed. I am saying there is nothing for me to look forward to naturally. As he gives an example, he got himself a new horse to enjoy instead of reminiscing on the years gone by, and I haven't really done that yet. But I don't have much hope in retirement in this world, lol, unless the world repents. Mind you I am not on some mountain waiting for Jesus to return, because not even Jesus knows the time. But I am watching, which is a good and instructed thing to do with the wisdom that He may not come while I am alive. He also instructs us to "redeem the times for the days are evil." So we are to be useful to God, and working in His good work when He returns, not looking at the clouds having sold our possessions. I just need another "horse" to look forward to. Something earthly to enjoy, the natural fruits of reward, of hope, of future. And this man has found it in a simple thing as owning a new horse, and I think that's a wonderful example and hope. ❤️ Thank you for your comment; lots of great conversations here. ❤️
Dewayne not sure how but you always seem to reach into my soul. Both my wife and I “fell off our horses” a few years ago. She was let go from a job after 20 years for refusing the jab. I had medical issues and had to retire early. We are both trying to find our way still raising two daughters who are still in school. We both need to get a new horse. Thanks
Tyler, TX here. An illness has made it so I've got more years behind me than ahead of me, Dwayne. I'm no horseman, but I love this story. As well as your love of a good cigar. Great message, Sir. Thank-you.
Ya know Dwayne, I did just that this past April. After planning for half a year, I flew to Japan to study japanese and just change things up for a year. Ironically I found myself being more bored than ever, and losing that excitement I once had. I'm flying home at the end of the month for that reason and a whole lot of other ones. Can't say I don't regret this, at least financially, but now I know for certain what I gotta do and how I'm gonna do it. Always, thank you for your wisdom.
I bought my first horse 8 months ago as a Middle Aged adult and I hadn’t taken lessons since my early 20s and it’s been amazing. He’s been lame for half of it but I’m working hard to find the right farrier and vet to get us straight. Current vet and farrier said we can get him sound and they focused on his shoes and feet first and didn’t push injections so they seem to be the right people.
Thank you, sir, and God bless. I'm 33, disabled autistic with PTSD, your content has helped me quite a bit. I've been struggling lately. Rough on myself concerning a lack of profession. I've always wanted to help people, and I'm now quite interested in becoming an EMT or some kind of paramedic. I have these goals set before me on my own behalf but I thank you for the inspiration. God Bless.
I’m listening to your message and asking myself the same questions; “what now”? I’ve had a good life, some might say a not-so-ordinary life. I’ve been successful in virtually everything I’ve attempted. College, US Air Force pilot training, flew in Vietnam for 2 tours of duty, started and built up a successful business that allows my wife and I to have all we want and need. But along the way, I lost two boys, one at 19 and one at 40. One remaining son and four granddaughters. They are the roses among the thorns of life. I’m not ready for the rocking chair yet, as Gus told Woodrow. I’m looking for new challenges, and hope to find one or more soon. I’m involved with my church, which means a lot to my wife and I. And don’t worry about where you might be at 77, the Good Lord will take care of you Dwayne. He has plans for you and me. I trust Him completely at age 80. He has saved my life on more than one occasion when the lead was flying. All the best to you and your new horse.
You sir have lived a life, amid the gallantry of thorns that is losing a loved one. And came out the other hand, with rose petals and words of encouragement. We need more men, and I hope that church does succeed. Not arrogant dominant machismo's, but gentle sweet, and battle ready if needed. I hope that was worth your time. Lord have mercy.
@@vimalpatel4060remove arrogant. But Dominate is still needed. How can you be “battle ready” with no dominance about yourself. To win a “battle” one must “dominate” the opponent.
Poco bloodlines. I am a Morgan breed lover but even I know about the Poco horses. Nice,sensible,athletic. I hope he turns out to be all you dream. Thank you for this video. A granny in Canada.
Beautiful message and beautiful horses, sir. They put a sparkle in your eye, no doubt about it. Very happy to hear your fire for life is as bright as ever. Just got me a couple wheels and a motor to tear up Nevada. I’ll call it my new horse!
Been there when the forever horse doesn’t work out- it’s an adjustment for sure. Went to Az bought a 3 yr old and proceeded to get to know him and learn a bunch of new skills. At the age of 70. Never give up- get another horse to ride🐴.
Exact same here mate. Wife and baby taken into a mother and baby unit yesterday due to postpartum depression and on the same day I was in A&E with medical issues. I hope you get through your issues whatever they may be. Love from England 🙏🙏🙏
Sir, I will believe until the day that I die that God put this message on your heart to share for me. I needed this more than you will ever know, and I appreciate you sharing this wisdom.
Been awhile since I heard one of your videos - always appreciate them. I'm a truck driver struggling with a bad skin infection that's getting worse and threatening to maybe loose my arm if I don't just stop to heal. I'll lose my job by doing so and have been forcing and trying everything I can do to keep what I got. This week I finally accepted that keeping my arm and finding another horse to ride when I'm ready is just whats going to have to happen. Thanks for this confirmation
As if the shared wisdom of Dewayne did not bring the tremendous value and perspective that it does, the reflections of the readers adds to that significantly. Thanks to all of you, but most especially to Dewayne for creating content that actually has value. Just tremendous. Best sermons I've ever listened to.
At 56 I am restarting a mustang. I have questioned myself many times if im too old/too weak/too afraid.... This video sent a clear message to me to light the fire in me again and do it because i would always wonder how far i could take him. Thank you
I bought a horse over the internet and had him delivered from South Dakota to Central Oregon and I’m happy as a clam. And I will be 68 this July. 🤷🏼♀️ Love your videos and good luck with those two handsome boys!
Mr. You aren’t BSn. Life can and does kick us in the belly at times. I’m 55. Just turned 55 at the beginning of this month. I’ve found in life that we get beat down several times, and I’ve seen people who just gave up, and others who “get another horse”. 🐎 Myself personally, I’ll never give up on myself or my family. I’ve had to start over 4 times in life. Completely. And at the age I’m at now, I think I’ve done pretty well for myself and my family. I find myself reminding my kids to never give up on themselves. They are getting into their 30s and are starting to experience life’s real ups and downs, but I’m there for them. Hey, anyways, I hope you made it back home safe and sound and with those 2 horses. God Bless ya and keep on ridin bud.
Well... I had hoped that I wouldn't need this video, but today I finally came to terms with some heavy stuff. This video was the kick in the chest I needed to finally admit that something's gone wrong and I need to find another horse to ride. God bless you, Dewayne. God bless you, your family, and this channel. With tears in my eyes and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for everything your words have helped me do and helped me to become.
Hi Dewayne. You might be amazed to learn how this message literally saves lives. The suicidal thoughts are intense for many and this message helps a lot.
Sometimes your messages help me with my life and sometimes they remind me that I did the right thing. Thank you, I was being too harsh on myself for things not happening in the timeframe I had planned (perks of being young I guess). This gave me a better perspective.
My Grandpa would say be careful of the doors you open ? Sometimes you can't close them ! I say build a New Door! Congratulations Dewayne i enjoy all you do! Yahoo
Dewayne this hit me right upside the head, I've been with my company 7 years and have been unhappy the last 3 or so. Waiting for a change or some sort of other opportunity within the company only to be told time and time again that I'm too valuable in my current position. But my position is mentally draining and for some reason I stick around waiting for something to happen. This makes me feel like it could be time to move on and try something new. Thank you pal!
Thank you. I needed this today. I have been in a deep depression for the last year. Just starting to pull out of it. I need a new job and you helped me see i need to get moving on it. Well pat a horse for me. Mine died years ago miss him dearly.
I’m 77, and still appreciate your wisdom DeWayne. I’ve had to start over several times, but I did it for my family. No regrets. I recently pulled a starved old mare out of the kill pen, and she’s turning out to be my perfect “ last horse.” Not only me, but I think my mare, Molly, also found another horse to ride. Best regards.
I used to be a boxer and as boxers know liver shots are crippling. The pain makes you cringe and bend forward but the best way to get rid of the crippling feeling you have to put your shoulders back, straighten up and then you can breathe. Now i know i have been taking a few liver shots but I didn't realize I bend over. You need another horse to ride and i realize i needed to put my shoulders back. Either way you made me realize you have to go again. I still have my hands up but I'll be dancing soon enough, thank you sir.
Hi, God brought your videos to me and I’m thankful. I’ve sure been kicked in the belly. I’m on the downhill side of life and both of your channels have helped me so much so thank you.
This is Alpha energy. Recognize.. it’s calm, comfortable.. and take charge. Even keeled… keeps an eye out on the ranch- calm but one also knows not to mess with him because he’s a survivalist. Alpha does not mean crush “just because.” It’s called Leadership.
I once bought a horse online and got scammed badly. I wouldn't recommend paying until you arrive with the trailer, as there are dishonest people out there. It was a heartbreaker. Dwayne, I'm glad everything worked out for you, and you found good people and great horses.
Dewayne, Thanks for the tip. I drove from Chesapeake, VA to Dallas, TX . Could not find a place to stop and took my rest stop did what you did. Every place wanted an arm and leg. Looking for my forever horse. God bless you ❤️ 🙏for your wisdom and dedication
Wow..I’ve listened to this cowboy for awhile now, off and on, and this morning this was the first video to pop up in my feed. It brought me to tears as I listened to his wisdom on this subject. I rode and showed horses for years and trained dogs along with that. They were both a passion. The last several years I’ve gotten strictly into dogs and as much as I love it I’ve found myself in the very predicament Dewayne speaks of. I’m a small woman but I don’t back down from many challenges and 6 years ago I rescued a tiny white puppy that my children and myself saw thrown out of a moving vehicle as we stood outside my daughters house. He was riddled with every parasite, internally and externally that a dog could have so I decided to vet him out and find a good home for him. That tiny, mangey puppy turned into a breathtaking 115 pound 1/2 American Pitbull Terrier and 1/2 Great Pyrenees (by DNA tests) that stole my heart. I blood trailed wounded game with him and he never let me down. In short, he changed my life when I found him and he also changed my life when I lost him 2 years ago. The hurt is still there in an almost unbearable way at times but listening to Dewayne today made me realize that the best legacy I can leave for Trooper is to “find another horse to ride.”
We bought a few horses over the years and it’s always exciting when a new one comes in and you get to find out what you got but also when a deal is made its made and don’t look back keep moving forward
Good luck with your new horses , lost my last horse this winter ( he was 26 ) I’m 69 , he was wonderful and I just can’t bring myself to find another . I think I’m ok with my memories . ❤❤
That was a great message Uncle Dewayne. Live a little, take some chances, do things that out life back into you. If not, then welcome to a dull boring life. We love you Uncle Dewayne. See you next Time.
Ohh My Brother YOU did it Again ! Your video a while back telling us that you lost Ray 🥲, The Lord spoke to me . He was preparing me to say goodbye to Willow . I did not want to even listen as your kind heart shared how We had given the Horse a good life . Be comforted in that . Anyway, Willow is gone from my care . I was never able to buy Her . The owner wanted more than I was able to. Pay. This new video you just posted has made me smile 😊 I once again hear God’s Voice . Through you He is encouraging me to keep moving forward with Horses. Funny enough, I actually just began to sit on top of Bear ! He turns 3 in June . We are going slow and He is doing fantastic. ( I gave Little Bear to my Husband ). So like You, maybe I will find my Horse to call my Own . After 50 years waiting, your message gave me that hope . Thank you Both you mean a lot to me . Laura 💜
Hi Dewayne. Been listening to your videos for awhile now, about a year, always impactful to what I'm going through. Faced a setback a couple years ago, been tough finding a path forward, but at the same time your words help. Thank you.
How incredibly appropriate the timing of this video was. A bit over a month ago I took a risk on an internet horse (broodmare) I drove all the way over to eastern Oregon and bought her. Turned out amazing, she did have some health issues that needed to be worked through but that is behind us now and she is the sweetest, most gentle tempered girl I could have ever hoped for. Exactly the bone structure, conformation and temperament I am looking for in the colts that she will hopefully yield. Very excited about life in general with her in it. A side bonus was I had a colt that was starting to get pretty froggy but I can't put him in with my other horses because they would hurt him badly or worse but after the new horse got out of quarantine I turned her out with him and she may be sweet but she takes no disrespect either and that little guy's attitude has done a complete 180 with her in his pasture with him. Very pleased with the results of taking that risk.
Your videos are the best thing that’s ever happened to me man thank you for being this genuine of a person 23 & convincing myself I’m 56 because of everything I’ve been through found you tonight quitting everything tomorrow and focusing on being a better me!!
My Brother told me about your UA-cam podcast. Really appreciate your home spun common sense. I quite thankful of your Christian worldview, but gosh, I really love the horses.
Doesn't matter how rough day I had at work, coming home and watching one of mr. Dewaynes videos will always make my day. he teaches, he inspires, he makes peoples day he's one of a kind. On top of that i love how no matter what work stuff he's dealing with he always finds a moment to record a video. ty for sharing sir.
Omg I needed this. I have a good 4 yr old and I was stuck with the old what if. Hell you've just turned that all around. I'm going to rewatch and listen to your words of wisdom again. Tracey(Australia)
Dewayne. We are proud of you man. This wasn’t a video for us alone. You get to question your own and your own life. That’s exactly why we’re here. Searching together. Not just you giving us answers. And this clearly was a new adventure at a moment you needed one. You did that. And you we’re vulnerable. Thank you for that. We are not only listening but also watching you living your life. And I am so f*cking proud of you. And happy to have found you. See you next time my man 🫶🏻
Love the video and thank you for taking the time to make it. Your my favorite fellah on UA-cam and a inspiration to a Dad of 7 boys and a brand new new baby girl 😃
Dewayne ty for the book you recommend. I'm ordering it to read. Miss being on a horse myself although I'm no expert rider. Years ago since I felt them...lost my three dogs several cats . I'm at the stage I'm getting fragile and this girl never thought she'd be fragile .I'm in my sixties . I'm looking at the latter stages of life ...trying to make it count .glad ur getting ur forever horse wishing many blessings
Thanks for the talk, i was just in ft worth sunday,, not for horses, had one once, could never catch him, lol. you guys have a wonderful safe trip. let us know you made it safely!
Brilliant video papa Dewayne! I needed to hear this today, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. It's refreshing to have such an authentic and wise man to learn and lookup to!
Wife and I switched to riding mules last year, I met a gentleman in a mule camp that is 79 and he really inspired me (I'm 61) to keep moving forward. Thank you for this video.
Dewayne is hittin me in the feels. Thank you yet again sir, your wisdom is helpin me grow and learn from my mistakes. I'll be 27 this year & your videos are the advice I've needed all my life. Beautiful horses & amazing video. Happy belated birthday and I'm glad you've found your horse you deserve it. Be well
Hey there I just watched this video for the second time. I’m wanting you and Mamma to please say a prayer for me . I know this isn’t your Bible Talk Channel . But I am relating to so much of what you’re saying. I am a risk taker. I bought Bear online. And had Him transported during a Blizzard . My Transporter , Cheryl , was AMAZING!, He is a perfect fit for my Husband. However, it was Me who wanted a Horse after almost 50 years of waiting. So just say a prayer that just maybe God willing , that forever Horse will somehow make its way to Me ! Much Love to You Both ❤❤ Laura 🦄💜
Dewayne - I have been with you for a while and you’ve had a couple videos that pushed me to take a chance. I’m 56 and I’ve played in very safe up to this point. But as you said one time “they don’t have cool stories to tell”. For years I’ve wanted to be my own boss and it’s time! I will not die with the regret of not trying. So, I will embark on building my campground in an area I love! Your stories run very parallel to my life and this is the time for me to get out of my comfort zone and “find a new horse to ride”! Thank you. One of these days I hope to meet you. Take care and I hope momma and the family is blessed.
Thank You for the timing and topic of this video. I’m very sorry for your loss of Ray. I remember the first video that you mentioned Ray and further clarified “like a ray of sunshine”. That is the exact phrase my Mom would remind me why she named me that. This entire video shed new light on a situation. While it could never compare to the loss of any living being, I know that it is time to retire my 02’ Mustang to the junk yard. I bought this Mustang as my first car. A neighbor down the road was selling it for $1500 o.b.o. I knew from the mileage posted, the price and already having a cracked windshield to fix that this purchase would be a gamble to carry me through just a few years. I lived in the country where transportation to the nearest business was a few miles, any car would be a luxury. I had saved enough money walking to work at the Coffee Shop for a few years and the thought of driving a Mustang really sparked my excitement. I could not actually be the one to test drive it as I had not yet acquired my license. My older sister was the one to really get the feel for the car as we rode it around and I sat passenger. By ignorance or eagerness nothing was detouring me from the purchase of this car. Despite the fact the angle of the passenger seat was lop sided and the transmission radiated a sound comparable to what many future passengers would say “taking off in a rocket ship” Definitely not in a good way. Which was probably why it never caught up to speed quite like a Mustang should which gave reason to it’s admirable nickname “Slow-stang” As you said in your video sometimes it can be the memories that hold us back from finding a new horse to ride. Last night at the time of this video’s posting I had just finished taking all the possessions out of the Mustang, readying it for them to take it off to the junk yard. Like unsaddling your horse for the last time. It has 241968.5 miles of destinations that it carried the owner’s before me. In the 38k miles over 7 years it took me the memories I cherish the most are: The first date with my husband was picking him up to visit my family for church in the rolling foothills of California. The memory of my uncle being so proud to see me purchase my first car. He wasn’t sure how many more years he would be around as he was terminally ill. He gifted me a Chilton Handbook of its make and model and insisted to upgrade anything cosmetic “to make my ride my style” While this may be an upgrade that could turn up an eyebrow, I really wanted to upgrade the headlights to the Halo lenses. It also really improved visibility driving through the country at night. The last memory I will always cherish is taking my best friend for a ride. Although her car was much better suited for a comfortable ride ei. my driving. I believe that she was just fond of Mustangs as her Dad owned a classic Mustang that would have been inherited by her, the first born, but for the time being it sat under a tarp. What we thought to be a good time was driving out to the far back roads to catch a glimpse of it. And a real beauty it was. This video gave me encouragement to invest into a new horse so to say. Be it a new career or even a path in life. My Mustang carried me many miles of learning what it meant to be an adult but now it’s time to find a new way to keep moving forward.
Thanks for the encouragement Dewayne. Since where I am there’s really no opportunity’s to ride/work with horses. I found a new horse in the form of a motorcycle. I bought a 1996 Suzuki intruder 1400CC, I’ve never rode a motorcycle before in my life, and I know this particular bike isn’t a “beginners bike” but it sure is fun to have and ride, I have something to look forward to when I have nothing else to do. I enjoy working on the bike too, I’m by no means a handy man but I changed the spark plugs and the oil and filter on that bike recently it might be a simple task for some folks but I’m pretty proud of myself for being able to work on my own bike. I may not be riding a horse but I’d like to imagine that whatever it is you get out of riding and working with horses I’ll get the same satisfaction with my motorcycle. I’m hoping this hobby will help me make new friends as well.
Thank you for your words sir I’m so proud of you for getting these new horses And I’m glad you got the second one It’s gonna be a new chapter for them and for you
Congratulations on your next partnership, four years ago I needed to start looking for my next younger partner, on a chance I flew by myself from Maine to Missouri to look at a horse coming 5, I took a leap of faith and bought him. We had some bumps along our journey as you would expect with a young horse( Hancock bred) but he has turned out to be a great partner and so glad I took a “chance”. Great wisdom in your message, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! Safe travels and can’t wait to hear more about your new fellow, he is handsome!
Dewayne those are some fine looking horses,,, I'm very happy for you and I hope the roan proves out for you. I have a few stud colts and a few fillies to break. I used to do everything myself and I'll be 43 Sunday, May 26, and I've had both of my hips replaced and my lower back is bad off,, so I was depending on other people to train my horses,,, between not having the money to do or them not having the time it's not getting done,,,so what you said about a new horse to ride or what ever put us down,, find a different way ,,I can't quote everything you said but I get it and I thank you. I am currently sitting in the hospital in Muncie Indiana with my daughter who had appendix infections and surgery and now I'm ready to get home and see what I can do with horses...👍👍👍 Thanks Dewayne..
I finally remembered! I’m in Claud, TX at the Triangle RV Park. Very nice folks.
Have a puff off that stogie for me my friend
Texas is an awesome place, glad you’re here.
Rae was my favorite😢 safe travels... These storms are insane...
Beautiful Roan😍
Oooo I'm from Dallas!
This man speaks with the conviction of a pastor, the wisdom of grandpa, and the touch of a friend. Anybody on the fence, he’s worth the sub
Heck yah!!! I’ve always felt this in my heart with this man and his family xx
Spot on
a old man told me once,yull get one good horse,one good dog ad one good woman per lifetime. ive had them all. i still got the good dog.
❤
😂👍🏾
😂💯
I've had the world's best horse and the world's best dog. I'm trying to be the best girl lol
❤❤❤
When Dewayne said " I still feel alive" my eyes opened up wide and I felt this lump in my throat.. those 4 little words are so powerful.... thank you very much.
I am 83 years old. Cannot do a lot of the things I used to do, but do the things I can. I get up every morning and thank God for the free gift of eternal life. Romans 6:23. Then I make coffee. I thank God for my wife of 64 years. Taking my Harley to the shop to day for new tires and a little maintenance I use to do my self. But my poor old back just does not like doing those things anymore. I still do most of the things like changing oil and changing spark plugs and fixing any electrical problems. But the heavy stuff is for the young guys to make a little money from me for their service. Fortunate to have a good shop a half mile from my house.
Appreciate your wisdom and encouragement. We all need it every day. Tomorrow I will do this or that, Lord willing and the creek don't rise.
God bless you for taking the time for insight in what you do the cowboy way. You have a way of putting people at ease but also not to give up and do nothing. Just find another horse to ride. I like it.
I retired 19 years ago from being a trouble shooter for a refinery pipeline. I had 220 miles of pipeline and four pump stations to keep running. Worked around pump stations with 1400 pounds of pressure on gasoline and 2400 volt pump motors. Lots of driving and worked alone most of the time.
As long as u can keep on kickin Jim
God bless you Jim. Thanks for your comment
Sounds like you can do alot of things that 90 % of young folk can’t even do! you’re an inspiration Jim! Keep up the great work, and God bless.
@@jeffdixon5430 Thanks guys. I just got done mowing my acre of yard this morning. I live a couple of miles from a small town of 7500. Just thankful I can still do the things I need to do, and I will keep on keeping on until I can't. The Lord said, occupy until I come. That is what we do. I owe a lot to my wife who has supported me in everything I have done.
When I was 14, back in 1955, I had an old 1942 Harley "45" flat head. I was at a track meet 4 miles away, and asked a girl if she wanted to go for a ride. She hopped on behind me and we went for a little ride around town. She is the one I have been married to for 65 years on June first. Best earthly decision I have made my whole life.
Respect and blessings to you and yours my wise friend 🙏🏽
I had to do that with a career. I lost a job that I had come to really enjoy and it paid really well. It went away unexpectedly. I went broke in the process and learned to rely on God. His provision came from places I didn't expect. In the end I found another horse to ride. It's a good job and it fits me pretty well. In the process I got closer to God, to my family, and found a church family too. My wife found her own horse (career) that she loves along the way too. Our future isn't going to be hardship free but it's looking better every day.
My first horse, Hooch, died unexpectedly at my feet in 2009. Either a heart attack or aneurysm. A couple of months later I bought his replacement, Whiskey. Of course I’ll never forgot Hooch. I sincerely believe he moved on to make it possible for Whiskey to happen. Nothing like taking in the scent of a new horse! Congratulations!!
Get busy living and don't worry about things you can not control. Your passion for things in this life are the things that dreams are made of! Best Wishes to You and Your Family!!!
I have to find that song.
_"Take Another Road"_ by Jimmy Buffett has always been a favorite of mine. It's what I've wanted to do since the family disintegrated. It's just me and the Lord since the cat died about 7 weeks ago.
_"What if it goes right?"_
THANKS, Dwayne. I needed that!
I started welling up with tears a little bit when you said "What if it goes right?" Just reminds me of all the times I expect things to go wrong. Thanks again Dewayne!
Dropping an obligatory "God bless you", Dewayne. You've been helping me get through some tough times with your videos. Heavily appreciative of you and your advice and philosophy.
Sitting here watching my horses brace against the wind. Feeling a bit weary bracing the winds of life challenges myself. Single lady in my 50's here building my little ranch. Your encouragement means more than you know. So many blessings in our lives including you and your dear wife 💕 Thank you both
Hello Dewayne, I live in the bitterroot valley of Montana and I’ve been following you since you were over in the Palouse. You and I are kindred spirits I think. I’m also originally from Kentucky and in a few days I’ll be turning 67. I’m not much of an internet guy so I’ve been nervous about posting comments. After listening to you in this video I just wanted to introduce myself and let others know that you are 100% spot on. After being away from the cowboy world for quite awhile I was ready to get back to this life, and it’s exactly what you say. I purchased 3 horses in an online auction over in Oregon 2 1/2 years ago. Everyone I know thought I was crazy but it has been extremely rewarding. It’s taken a lot to get past accepting that I’m not 25 anymore,And yes I have fallen off and I sure don’t bounce like I used to, but it’s all been worth it. Thanks for everything y’all are doing, you’re making a difference for folks.
ever since i was a kid in the 60's i wanted a horse so bad i would sneak with a friend to a local stable against my dad's rule. i always read books about them and just dreamed i would own one. life does get in the way and after raising 3 kids , my husband and i bought 2 acres with the idea to build a house and finally get my horse. my husband got hurt and became disabled. i knew we couldn't afford the dream so i just prayed and asked God to have horses for me in heaven . i bought those 2 acres in my 50's thinking it wasn't too late. now i am 69. no regrets b/c i still have my best friend, my husband ,and we go camping with our 4 boston terriers . God bless love your wisdom and philosophy on life.
Your question “When was the last time you were excited about the future” instantly made me cry. THAT got my attention. Thank you.
Why did it make you cry? Genuinely wanna understand
@@tipoftheiceberg7034 Maybe this person is going through something, you never know man.
I am currently 19 years old. I have a decent job, I work with good people, and all things considered I should enjoy it, but I don't. I do not enjoy what I do and have felt for a long time that I'm not where I'm supposed to be. Ever since starting this job my mental and physical health have declined to the lowest point they've been in a long time. The whole time that I've been feeling this stress, depression, and anxiety, I've felt guilty. Most of the people I've confided in about my uncertainty, have told me that I should be grateful for the position I'm in, and this just increases the guilt. Watching this video made me realize that no position in life is worth sacrificing yourself. I think it may just be time for me to find another horse to ride. Thank you Dewayne. God bless you.
Have you made any changes? How’s it going?
Excelent thoughs!!
I got a piece of advice for you that will change your life forever.
Semen Retention And Sobriety in Earnest.
@@tylerhammond8392 my last day at my current job is tomorrow! I will instead be working with a local business building a website for them and focusing more on a passion project of mine. I was worried how I’d feel approaching these last days at my current job, but as I get closer I feel more and more excited.
The older you become and the more experience you have, the quicker you can identify when you need a new horse.
Wow -- super impactful.
I am young but for several years the wind has been absent from my sails. I have no excitement for my future except when Jesus returns, perhaps very soon.
I was sharing a prayer request earlier this week that I feel like I've "missed my calling" "missed the boat I was supposed to take to different harbors" and in response to my prayer request the advice given to me was: there's still life in you so obviously you haven't missed your calling. God still has a plan for you, and that was really comforting to me. Made me feel like less of a failure. ❤
Made me feel like God hadn't given up on me or wasn't up there rolling His eyes feeling like He has to just "deal with me." Instead, He loves me. He has a perfect plan for me. He works all things out for good. ❤
Thanks for sharing, I encourage you to have faith that God will show you your purpose.
People have been waiting for Jesus to return since he paid for our sins. Just focus on making yourself the best version of yourself. That's all the lord wants for all of.
Thank you for sharing! I had very similiar feeling yesterday, and the feeling like - noo it is not possible that God is here, in this situation..
I wouldn’t advise putting your life on hold because you think Jesus is coming. There is a very long history of humans that did nothing but rant and rave in town squares about how the rapture was coming that died without ever seeing it. Whether the rapture comes is God’s business and God’s business alone, it does you no good sitting around making plans for it & creating stagnancy in your life.
@@avril99887766 @avril99887766 Agreed. I am saying there is nothing for me to look forward to naturally. As he gives an example, he got himself a new horse to enjoy instead of reminiscing on the years gone by, and I haven't really done that yet.
But I don't have much hope in retirement in this world, lol, unless the world repents. Mind you I am not on some mountain waiting for Jesus to return, because not even Jesus knows the time. But I am watching, which is a good and instructed thing to do with the wisdom that He may not come while I am alive.
He also instructs us to "redeem the times for the days are evil." So we are to be useful to God, and working in His good work when He returns, not looking at the clouds having sold our possessions.
I just need another "horse" to look forward to. Something earthly to enjoy, the natural fruits of reward, of hope, of future. And this man has found it in a simple thing as owning a new horse, and I think that's a wonderful example and hope. ❤️
Thank you for your comment; lots of great conversations here. ❤️
Thanks for being on here Dewayne, it's something me and the boys really appreciate
What boys
Dewayne not sure how but you always seem to reach into my soul. Both my wife and I “fell off our horses” a few years ago. She was let go from a job after 20 years for refusing the jab. I had medical issues and had to retire early. We are both trying to find our way still raising two daughters who are still in school. We both need to get a new horse. Thanks
Tyler, TX here.
An illness has made it so I've got more years behind me than ahead of me, Dwayne. I'm no horseman, but I love this story. As well as your love of a good cigar.
Great message, Sir. Thank-you.
You got me through some tough times Dewayne. I always make sure to pass it on. Love you brother.
Ya know Dwayne, I did just that this past April. After planning for half a year, I flew to Japan to study japanese and just change things up for a year.
Ironically I found myself being more bored than ever, and losing that excitement I once had.
I'm flying home at the end of the month for that reason and a whole lot of other ones. Can't say I don't regret this, at least financially, but now I know for certain what I gotta do and how I'm gonna do it.
Always, thank you for your wisdom.
I bought my first horse 8 months ago as a Middle Aged adult and I hadn’t taken lessons since my early 20s and it’s been amazing. He’s been lame for half of it but I’m working hard to find the right farrier and vet to get us straight. Current vet and farrier said we can get him sound and they focused on his shoes and feet first and didn’t push injections so they seem to be the right people.
Thank you, sir, and God bless. I'm 33, disabled autistic with PTSD, your content has helped me quite a bit. I've been struggling lately. Rough on myself concerning a lack of profession. I've always wanted to help people, and I'm now quite interested in becoming an EMT or some kind of paramedic. I have these goals set before me on my own behalf but I thank you for the inspiration. God Bless.
Good luck!
I’m listening to your message and asking myself the same questions; “what now”? I’ve had a good life, some might say a not-so-ordinary life. I’ve been successful in virtually everything I’ve attempted. College, US Air Force pilot training, flew in Vietnam for 2 tours of duty, started and built up a successful business that allows my wife and I to have all we want and need. But along the way, I lost two boys, one at 19 and one at 40. One remaining son and four granddaughters. They are the roses among the thorns of life.
I’m not ready for the rocking chair yet, as Gus told Woodrow. I’m looking for new challenges, and hope to find one or more soon. I’m involved with my church, which means a lot to my wife and I. And don’t worry about where you might be at 77, the Good Lord will take care of you Dwayne. He has plans for you and me. I trust Him completely at age 80. He has saved my life on more than one occasion when the lead was flying.
All the best to you and your new horse.
total respect for you and your hard earned life pretty cool!
You sir have lived a life, amid the gallantry of thorns that is losing a loved one. And came out the other hand, with rose petals and words of encouragement. We need more men, and I hope that church does succeed. Not arrogant dominant machismo's, but gentle sweet, and battle ready if needed. I hope that was worth your time. Lord have mercy.
@@vimalpatel4060remove arrogant. But Dominate is still needed. How can you be “battle ready” with no dominance about yourself. To win a “battle” one must “dominate” the opponent.
Poco bloodlines. I am a Morgan breed lover but even I know about the Poco horses. Nice,sensible,athletic. I hope he turns out to be all you dream. Thank you for this video. A granny in Canada.
Congratulations on your new horses! Have a good trip home.
I love watching so much and you’re like a dad talking to his children 🫶🏼🥹
I love how you turn lessons from horsemanship to lifes situations. We can all relate...i know i do.
Excellent video, Dewayne !
Thank you so much.
Vincent Van Gogh once said: "I would rather die of passion than of boredom".
Thanks, Bud. Peso looks like a great boy. He’s lucky to have a dad like you. Your message meant a lot to me today. Thanks again.
Beautiful message and beautiful horses, sir. They put a sparkle in your eye, no doubt about it. Very happy to hear your fire for life is as bright as ever. Just got me a couple wheels and a motor to tear up Nevada. I’ll call it my new horse!
Been there when the forever horse doesn’t work out- it’s an adjustment for sure. Went to Az bought a 3 yr old and proceeded to get to know him and learn a bunch of new skills. At the age of 70. Never give up- get another horse to ride🐴.
The beard is looking majestic sir.
Check out Paul so hard😂😂
I swear these videos always come right when I need them, by the grace of God.
Exact same here mate. Wife and baby taken into a mother and baby unit yesterday due to postpartum depression and on the same day I was in A&E with medical issues. I hope you get through your issues whatever they may be. Love from England 🙏🙏🙏
@@joe90h34 will definitely pray for them my man
This spoke to me, I'm excited again. I remember why moving forward is important, thank you.
Sir, I will believe until the day that I die that God put this message on your heart to share for me. I needed this more than you will ever know, and I appreciate you sharing this wisdom.
Is been years since I felt excitement about anything. Fear and CVD bucked me off. Your msg had a profound impact on me. I will try.
Been awhile since I heard one of your videos - always appreciate them. I'm a truck driver struggling with a bad skin infection that's getting worse and threatening to maybe loose my arm if I don't just stop to heal. I'll lose my job by doing so and have been forcing and trying everything I can do to keep what I got. This week I finally accepted that keeping my arm and finding another horse to ride when I'm ready is just whats going to have to happen. Thanks for this confirmation
So much wisdom! Recently had to close my 22 year business and file for bankruptcy. Going to start looking for "another horse to ride."
As if the shared wisdom of Dewayne did not bring the tremendous value and perspective that it does, the reflections of the readers adds to that significantly.
Thanks to all of you, but most especially to Dewayne for creating content that actually has value.
Just tremendous.
Best sermons I've ever listened to.
At 56 I am restarting a mustang. I have questioned myself many times if im too old/too weak/too afraid.... This video sent a clear message to me to light the fire in me again and do it because i would always wonder how far i could take him. Thank you
I bought a horse over the internet and had him delivered from South Dakota to Central Oregon and I’m happy as a clam. And I will be 68 this July. 🤷🏼♀️ Love your videos and good luck with those two handsome boys!
Hi fellow Oregonian, pat your horse for me. I miss having one.
Congrats on your two new horses. Know you are happy to have them.
Mr. You aren’t BSn.
Life can and does kick us in the belly at times.
I’m 55. Just turned 55 at the beginning of this month. I’ve found in life that we get beat down several times, and I’ve seen people who just gave up, and others who “get another horse”. 🐎
Myself personally, I’ll never give up on myself or my family. I’ve had to start over 4 times in life. Completely. And at the age I’m at now, I think I’ve done pretty well for myself and my family.
I find myself reminding my kids to never give up on themselves. They are getting into their 30s and are starting to experience life’s real ups and downs, but I’m there for them.
Hey, anyways, I hope you made it back home safe and sound and with those 2 horses. God Bless ya and keep on ridin bud.
Thank you for the message. Sometimes it gets hard even for a man that used to always moving forward. But as a man, that's what we have to do
Well... I had hoped that I wouldn't need this video, but today I finally came to terms with some heavy stuff. This video was the kick in the chest I needed to finally admit that something's gone wrong and I need to find another horse to ride.
God bless you, Dewayne. God bless you, your family, and this channel. With tears in my eyes and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for everything your words have helped me do and helped me to become.
Hi Dewayne. You might be amazed to learn how this message literally saves lives. The suicidal thoughts are intense for many and this message helps a lot.
Sometimes your messages help me with my life and sometimes they remind me that I did the right thing. Thank you, I was being too harsh on myself for things not happening in the timeframe I had planned (perks of being young I guess). This gave me a better perspective.
My Grandpa would say be careful of the doors you open ? Sometimes you can't close them ! I say build a New Door! Congratulations Dewayne i enjoy all you do! Yahoo
Your eyes are sparkling! That is a happy man.
Dewayne this hit me right upside the head, I've been with my company 7 years and have been unhappy the last 3 or so. Waiting for a change or some sort of other opportunity within the company only to be told time and time again that I'm too valuable in my current position. But my position is mentally draining and for some reason I stick around waiting for something to happen. This makes me feel like it could be time to move on and try something new. Thank you pal!
Thank you. I needed this today. I have been in a deep depression for the last year. Just starting to pull out of it. I need a new job and you helped me see i need to get moving on it. Well pat a horse for me. Mine died years ago miss him dearly.
I’m 77, and still appreciate your wisdom DeWayne. I’ve had to start over several times, but I did it for my family. No regrets. I recently pulled a starved old mare out of the kill pen, and she’s turning out to be my perfect “ last horse.” Not only me, but I think my mare, Molly, also found another horse to ride. Best regards.
I used to be a boxer and as boxers know liver shots are crippling. The pain makes you cringe and bend forward but the best way to get rid of the crippling feeling you have to put your shoulders back, straighten up and then you can breathe.
Now i know i have been taking a few liver shots but I didn't realize I bend over. You need another horse to ride and i realize i needed to put my shoulders back.
Either way you made me realize you have to go again. I still have my hands up but I'll be dancing soon enough, thank you sir.
Hi, God brought your videos to me and I’m thankful. I’ve sure been kicked in the belly. I’m on the downhill side of life and both of your channels have helped me so much so thank you.
This is Alpha energy. Recognize.. it’s calm, comfortable.. and take charge. Even keeled… keeps an eye out on the ranch- calm but one also knows not to mess with him because he’s a survivalist. Alpha does not mean crush “just because.” It’s called Leadership.
57 years old and did just that! Bought 2 year old horse off the internet 1100 miles away. It has been fantastic!
Glad I’m not the only crazy one out there! All the best with your new wild hair 😊
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool you as well!
I once bought a horse online and got scammed badly. I wouldn't recommend paying until you arrive with the trailer, as there are dishonest people out there. It was a heartbreaker. Dwayne, I'm glad everything worked out for you, and you found good people and great horses.
Haven't felt excited in years but I'm gonna try. Thank you for this. Love from England.
I had a very very hard day. Thank you for this. I needed to hear it.
Dewayne,
Thanks for the tip.
I drove from Chesapeake, VA to Dallas, TX .
Could not find a place to stop and took my rest stop did what you did. Every place wanted an arm and leg.
Looking for my forever horse.
God bless you ❤️ 🙏for your wisdom and dedication
Wow..I’ve listened to this cowboy for awhile now, off and on, and this morning this was the first video to pop up in my feed. It brought me to tears as I listened to his wisdom on this subject.
I rode and showed horses for years and trained dogs along with that. They were both a passion. The last several years I’ve gotten strictly into dogs and as much as I love it I’ve found myself in the very predicament Dewayne speaks of. I’m a small woman but I don’t back down from many challenges and 6 years ago I rescued a tiny white puppy that my children and myself saw thrown out of a moving vehicle as we stood outside my daughters house. He was riddled with every parasite, internally and externally that a dog could have so I decided to vet him out and find a good home for him. That tiny, mangey puppy turned into a breathtaking 115 pound 1/2 American Pitbull Terrier and 1/2 Great Pyrenees (by DNA tests) that stole my heart. I blood trailed wounded game with him and he never let me down. In short, he changed my life when I found him and he also changed my life when I lost him 2 years ago. The hurt is still there in an almost unbearable way at times but listening to Dewayne today made me realize that the best legacy I can leave for Trooper is to “find another horse to ride.”
Jesus spoke to me through this one. Thank you.😊
Yeah he did!
We bought a few horses over the years and it’s always exciting when a new one comes in and you get to find out what you got but also when a deal is made its made and don’t look back keep moving forward
I agree DEWAYNE. Ijust enjoy so much YOUR VIDEOS O N LIFE And HORSES. BOTH of them look great.
This video found me just in time, your talks have helped me through some of the most confusing and toughest times in my life, thank you Dwayne.
Nearly every time I listen to your wisdom, I feel like you're speaking directly to me.
Good luck with your new horses , lost my last horse this winter ( he was 26 ) I’m 69 , he was wonderful and I just can’t bring myself to find another . I think I’m ok with my memories . ❤❤
I love listening to you and your sage advice. Blessings to you always!
"This Ol Hat!!. You made a very very good point There Dewayne for sure....
They both look great. That Red Roan looks outstanding....
That was a great message Uncle Dewayne. Live a little, take some chances, do things that out life back into you. If not, then welcome to a dull boring life. We love you Uncle Dewayne. See you next Time.
Glad you came to Fort Worth area! I live here and listen to you frequently.
Ohh My Brother YOU did it Again ! Your video a while back telling us that you lost Ray 🥲, The Lord spoke to me . He was preparing me to say goodbye to Willow . I did not want to even listen as your kind heart shared how We had given the Horse a good life . Be comforted in that . Anyway, Willow is gone from my care . I was never able to buy Her . The owner wanted more than I was able to. Pay. This new video you just posted has made me smile 😊 I once again hear God’s Voice . Through you He is encouraging me to keep moving forward with Horses. Funny enough, I actually just began to sit on top of Bear ! He turns 3 in June . We are going slow and He is doing fantastic. ( I gave Little Bear to my Husband ). So like You, maybe I will find my Horse to call my Own . After 50 years waiting, your message gave me that hope . Thank you Both you mean a lot to me . Laura 💜
P.S. Question? How old do you feel a Horse needs to be before riding?
Hi Dewayne. Been listening to your videos for awhile now, about a year, always impactful to what I'm going through. Faced a setback a couple years ago, been tough finding a path forward, but at the same time your words help. Thank you.
You are the sweetest and so wise
Thank you for sharing
You mean more to others than you will ever know
How incredibly appropriate the timing of this video was. A bit over a month ago I took a risk on an internet horse (broodmare) I drove all the way over to eastern Oregon and bought her. Turned out amazing, she did have some health issues that needed to be worked through but that is behind us now and she is the sweetest, most gentle tempered girl I could have ever hoped for. Exactly the bone structure, conformation and temperament I am looking for in the colts that she will hopefully yield. Very excited about life in general with her in it. A side bonus was I had a colt that was starting to get pretty froggy but I can't put him in with my other horses because they would hurt him badly or worse but after the new horse got out of quarantine I turned her out with him and she may be sweet but she takes no disrespect either and that little guy's attitude has done a complete 180 with her in his pasture with him. Very pleased with the results of taking that risk.
Your videos are the best thing that’s ever happened to me man thank you for being this genuine of a person 23 & convincing myself I’m 56 because of everything I’ve been through found you tonight quitting everything tomorrow and focusing on being a better me!!
My Brother told me about your UA-cam podcast.
Really appreciate your home spun common sense.
I quite thankful of your Christian worldview, but gosh, I really love the horses.
Doesn't matter how rough day I had at work, coming home and watching one of mr. Dewaynes videos will always make my day. he teaches, he inspires, he makes peoples day he's one of a kind. On top of that i love how no matter what work stuff he's dealing with he always finds a moment to record a video. ty for sharing sir.
Omg I needed this. I have a good 4 yr old and I was stuck with the old what if. Hell you've just turned that all around. I'm going to rewatch and listen to your words of wisdom again. Tracey(Australia)
I'm 1 yr your senior, and I've been 'dying of boredom' since June 7,2016...thanks for the encouragement. Hope I get there soon.
Dewayne. We are proud of you man. This wasn’t a video for us alone. You get to question your own and your own life. That’s exactly why we’re here. Searching together. Not just you giving us answers. And this clearly was a new adventure at a moment you needed one. You did that. And you we’re vulnerable. Thank you for that. We are not only listening but also watching you living your life. And I am so f*cking proud of you. And happy to have found you. See you next time my man 🫶🏻
Happy birthday from April Dewayne! I also just had my 57th in April! Wishing you all the best with your new horses! Greetings from Arizona.🎉👍🏻
Love the video and thank you for taking the time to make it. Your my favorite fellah on UA-cam and a inspiration to a Dad of 7 boys and a brand new new baby girl 😃
Appreciate your time and words hit home good luck safe travels Sisco from south Texas.
Well done. Looks to me like you and Peso already took a shine to one another. Good for you! And good advice for anyone. God bless you and yours
Dewayne ty for the book you recommend. I'm ordering it to read. Miss being on a horse myself although I'm no expert rider. Years ago since I felt them...lost my three dogs several cats . I'm at the stage I'm getting fragile and this girl never thought she'd be fragile .I'm in my sixties . I'm looking at the latter stages of life ...trying to make it count .glad ur getting ur forever horse wishing many blessings
Thanks for the talk, i was just in ft worth sunday,, not for horses, had one once, could never catch him, lol. you guys have a wonderful safe trip. let us know you made it safely!
Brilliant video papa Dewayne! I needed to hear this today, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. It's refreshing to have such an authentic and wise man to learn and lookup to!
Wife and I switched to riding mules last year, I met a gentleman in a mule camp that is 79 and he really inspired me (I'm 61) to keep moving forward. Thank you for this video.
Dewayne is hittin me in the feels. Thank you yet again sir, your wisdom is helpin me grow and learn from my mistakes. I'll be 27 this year & your videos are the advice I've needed all my life. Beautiful horses & amazing video. Happy belated birthday and I'm glad you've found your horse you deserve it. Be well
Hey there I just watched this video for the second time. I’m wanting you and Mamma to please say a prayer for me . I know this isn’t your Bible Talk Channel . But I am relating to so much of what you’re saying. I am a risk taker. I bought Bear online. And had Him transported during a Blizzard . My Transporter , Cheryl , was AMAZING!, He is a perfect fit for my Husband. However, it was Me who wanted a Horse after almost 50 years of waiting. So just say a prayer that just maybe God willing , that forever Horse will somehow make its way to Me ! Much Love to You Both ❤❤ Laura 🦄💜
Dewayne - I have been with you for a while and you’ve had a couple videos that pushed me to take a chance. I’m 56 and I’ve played in very safe up to this point. But as you said one time “they don’t have cool stories to tell”. For years I’ve wanted to be my own boss and it’s time! I will not die with the regret of not trying. So, I will embark on building my campground in an area I love! Your stories run very parallel to my life and this is the time for me to get out of my comfort zone and “find a new horse to ride”! Thank you. One of these days I hope to meet you. Take care and I hope momma and the family is blessed.
Thank You for the timing and topic of this video. I’m very sorry for your loss of Ray. I remember the first video that you mentioned Ray and further clarified “like a ray of sunshine”. That is the exact phrase my Mom would remind me why she named me that.
This entire video shed new light on a situation.
While it could never compare to the loss of any living being, I know that it is time to retire my 02’ Mustang to the junk yard.
I bought this Mustang as my first car. A neighbor down the road was selling it for $1500 o.b.o. I knew from the mileage posted, the price and already having a cracked windshield to fix that this purchase would be a gamble to carry me through just a few years.
I lived in the country where transportation to the nearest business was a few miles, any car would be a luxury. I had saved enough money walking to work at the Coffee Shop for a few years and the thought of driving a Mustang really sparked my excitement.
I could not actually be the one to test drive it as I had not yet acquired my license. My older sister was the one to really get the feel for the car as we rode it around and I sat passenger.
By ignorance or eagerness nothing was detouring me from the purchase of this car. Despite the fact the angle of the passenger seat was lop sided and the transmission radiated a sound comparable to what many future passengers would say “taking off in a rocket ship” Definitely not in a good way. Which was probably why it never caught up to speed quite like a Mustang should which gave reason to it’s admirable nickname “Slow-stang”
As you said in your video sometimes it can be the memories that hold us back from finding a new horse to ride.
Last night at the time of this video’s posting I had just finished taking all the possessions out of the Mustang, readying it for them to take it off to the junk yard. Like unsaddling your horse for the last time.
It has 241968.5 miles of destinations that it carried the owner’s before me. In the 38k miles over 7 years it took me the memories I cherish the most are:
The first date with my husband was picking him up to visit my family for church in the rolling foothills of California.
The memory of my uncle being so proud to see me purchase my first car. He wasn’t sure how many more years he would be around as he was terminally ill. He gifted me a Chilton Handbook of its make and model and insisted to upgrade anything cosmetic “to make my ride my style”
While this may be an upgrade that could turn up an eyebrow, I really wanted to upgrade the headlights to the Halo lenses. It also really improved visibility driving through the country at night.
The last memory I will always cherish is taking my best friend for a ride.
Although her car was much better suited for a comfortable ride ei. my driving. I believe that she was just fond of Mustangs as her Dad owned a classic Mustang that would have been inherited by her, the first born, but for the time being it sat under a tarp. What we thought to be a good time was driving out to the far back roads to catch a glimpse of it. And a real beauty it was.
This video gave me encouragement to invest into a new horse so to say. Be it a new career or even a path in life. My Mustang carried me many miles of learning what it meant to be an adult but now it’s time to find a new way to keep moving forward.
Thanks for the encouragement Dewayne. Since where I am there’s really no opportunity’s to ride/work with horses. I found a new horse in the form of a motorcycle. I bought a 1996 Suzuki intruder 1400CC, I’ve never rode a motorcycle before in my life, and I know this particular bike isn’t a “beginners bike” but it sure is fun to have and ride, I have something to look forward to when I have nothing else to do. I enjoy working on the bike too, I’m by no means a handy man but I changed the spark plugs and the oil and filter on that bike recently it might be a simple task for some folks but I’m pretty proud of myself for being able to work on my own bike. I may not be riding a horse but I’d like to imagine that whatever it is you get out of riding and working with horses I’ll get the same satisfaction with my motorcycle. I’m hoping this hobby will help me make new friends as well.
Starting a new job next week. You're always coming with the relevant wisdom. Thanks. Congrats on the horses. Safe travels home.
Thank you for your words sir
I’m so proud of you for getting these new horses
And I’m glad you got the second one
It’s gonna be a new chapter for them and for you
Congratulations on your next partnership, four years ago I needed to start looking for my next younger partner, on a chance I flew by myself from Maine to Missouri to look at a horse coming 5, I took a leap of faith and bought him. We had some bumps along our journey as you would expect with a young horse( Hancock bred) but he has turned out to be a great partner and so glad I took a “chance”. Great wisdom in your message, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! Safe travels and can’t wait to hear more about your new fellow, he is handsome!
Dewayne those are some fine looking horses,,, I'm very happy for you and I hope the roan proves out for you. I have a few stud colts and a few fillies to break. I used to do everything myself and I'll be 43 Sunday, May 26, and I've had both of my hips replaced and my lower back is bad off,, so I was depending on other people to train my horses,,, between not having the money to do or them not having the time it's not getting done,,,so what you said about a new horse to ride or what ever put us down,, find a different way ,,I can't quote everything you said but I get it and I thank you. I am currently sitting in the hospital in Muncie Indiana with my daughter who had appendix infections and surgery and now I'm ready to get home and see what I can do with horses...👍👍👍 Thanks Dewayne..
