Pat's respect and love for the horses is evident in every interaction he has with them. This gentleman should be listened to, he is a national treasure and historian.
Put us to sleep?? Hardly,. I LOVE the videos where Pat 'splains stuff, answers questions and talks about cowboyin'. It's a world most of us don't know much about. QUESTION: you talked about riding w a snaffle when working on a ranch so that when necessary (a wreck or something else) you can help people, etc. Could you elaborate on that? What is it about a snaffle that makes it easier to help? And what kind of help are you referring to? Thanks so much.
I was curious about the same thing, Epona.. This is just a guess, but I’m thinking a snaffle makes it easier to drag your horse around to where he needs to be in an emergency. It won’t be pretty and it won’t help your horse understand in the long run, but you can pull his face around and get him moved easier with a snaffle. Just a thought?
I really like these. Pat reminds me of my grandad some who also cowboyed in CA. I "rebelled" and rode dressage for awhile, but I'm circling back. I'm riding an Andalusian now so I was pleasantly surprised to see Pat's appreciation of the Iberian in traditional work. I have a lot to learn, and my grandad is gone now, so I'm thankful that this is being shared for so many.
Good one Pat. I completely agree on the correction bits. I have one I bought 20 years ago. I havnt used it in 19.5 years. For the reasons you stated plus some more. There's a reason when we stick to the basics and traditional equip they work. And have passed the test of time. We smart humans are always reinventing the wheel. Thanks for your knowledge.
I started watching your videos again,but with my grandson and he is as excited to watch and listen to you Pat as I was …. I don’t have any other real big interest ,than equines….and it’s nice to share it with my grandson. I just wanted you to know, and I thank you .
Thank you so much for sharing all your valuable knowledge!! Oh what I wouldn’t give to have a “do over “ in life. To have the opportunity to be around horses and grow up on a ranch, instead of being from the city! So now at 65 trying to cram as much knowledge about the horse and their psychology . I can’t thank you enough for sharing your thoughts and wisdom! If you ever come to Northern Illinois I’ll be there at your clinic 😀 Blessings to you both in all you do🙏
Lander Wyoming. IRight now. I am using a mechanical hacamore…cause I can..on a 5 year old Morgan mare ..and have noticed a faster collection, flexing at the poll, than when I was starting her, at 3 with a egg butt snaffle. I did receive your bit..and will probably go back to that on the road to a (non correction) western curb bit. Right now she ( my mare) is raising a colt..and we just pleasure ride short distances. Open high desert sage..Thanks before your insight..I am 68..raised and rode in the central California valley since I was 8 years old..mostly bareback ponies and quarter horses..plus swimming them.
Have been riding my young Quarter horse in the Missing Link bit for 2 years. He is very responsive to the lightest touch of the rein and my skeleton. Pat mentions in other videos where your hand level affects different parts of the horse’s neck. A slight raise in one rein on a steep decent let’s him know to slow his pace. The cricket has been relatively quiet this spring, sounds like he and I are on the same page. Thanks Pat and Deb for posting informative videos and life skills for riders and horses around the world. Sheri - Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
Thank you sir for all this common sense info!! I’ve learned so much from the videos!! Been riding all my life and proud to say I’m still a student of the horse!! Thanks again for your time!! Chris from southeast Georgia!!
I am looking for a ranch bit in the category you recommend. I was wondering what you think of the J Watt AC100 cheek piece with the #11 (frog/cricket) or the #19 mouth piece. I want something similar to the Sliester bits you have shown in some previous videos. I hope I am not taking up too much of your time but I really value what you think. I have the Missing Link snaffle and it is one of the best investments - a long with a couple of your videos - I ever made. I am 76 years old and been falling off horses since I was two so, I think that is saying something. I have 40 acres, 8 horses, 3 cats, 3 dogs, 1 wife and 0 brains but I wouldn't want it any other way!!!
Thank you for the explanation about the correction bit. Your saddles are reasonally price. You need to come up here & talk about saddle fit. Riders up here can never seem to find a saddles that fits.
I’ve missed your videos recently so I’m happy you are back to recording!! I’m impatiently waiting for you to have a clinic near SW Missouri so I can attend!
Thank you Pat.. I've been a horse owner for more than 22 years and a horse lover all my life. I've been learning and growing always because it's important to me to do the best I can for my equine partners. I really appreciate how you break it down and explain it. I've gotten so much conflicting information in my life from folks that must have received poor information and passed it on.. I didn't know any better. They way you explain it gives me a much better understanding with a solid feeling of what's correct. Hope my rambling makes sense and thanks again! You are a beautiful soul
Thank you from the bottom of my heart .. plain honest instruction.. finally… I’ve just discovered you both … I have QuarterHorses and I’m new in western riding and horses as of 2013 when I bought a QuarterHorse 💕 . Tonya Hawkesbury River Australian
Hello Pat just have to say how much I enjoyed this video ,very interesting to go through the gear! Very informative break down on each piece,really like the concept of your snaffle im planning on purchasing one. Thank you for sharing so much information on so many topics, really enjoy and learn something from each one. I'm from northern Alberta Canada.
Another great educational video ,Pat . I love my missing link snaffle . Have to admit that I used to be a dink that used a "correction "bit . Never again !
Great to know what to look at. But for us ignorant folks out here would be also nice to know danger signs vs good ones and reasons behind the designation , Please remember that 'common sense' is not simply temperament genetic,,, but dependent on environmental exposure. Thank you for the great laid back presentation.
Every time I watch one of these videos I learn so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'd give anything to come out and spend some time with you and learn directly from you.
The used roping saddle I bought back in the 80's was from a rodeo roper. The cantal was so low! It was a liability with my mare who sundown bucked. Running martingale helped, but she wasn't an easy ride. She was Honey Bee bred half Arab
Our saddles are made in Chihuahua Mexico. Our bits making process is proprietary. Here's our latest video on spur straps: ua-cam.com/video/G2nZUIx6OaY/v-deo.html
Been following since January, never miss a video. Going to email you for advice about putting my two geldings back on the payroll. Not much saddle time over the last two summers (here in Nova Scotia) because of separation issues. Need to change that! Need to ride, without the fuss and be safer. Thanks for all you do.
Good to see someone else using Obenauf's. There is honestly nothing better for leather, be that boots, or tack, or anything else. and for those not in the know, Obenauf's uses beeswax and propolis(bee Resin) in with their oils that penetrates into the leather and then over time as the leather flexes that wax and propolis breaks down releasing more oils, so it oils your leather while you use it keeping it from drying out and cracking.
Thank you so much for all that you share! You are very appreciated and I never miss an episode. Just ordered my Missing Link Snaffle! Sincerely, from Idaho
If I may ask…. What would you be looking for in a young horse before you would put them into your bit? I have a 2 year old begging for a job, I’ll put her first rides on her this fall. She’s very soft to respond in a rope halter. I’ve always gone from that into a 3 piece or chain mouthpiece in an o-ring. Something soft to pack in the mouth with lots of movement. It’s been a few years since I rightly started a young horse and want to try her out a little different. She’s intended to be a good using horse, maybe go into the rodeo world if she cut out for it on down the line. Thank you for your videos and you input. Their knocking off a lot of my rust when it comes to starting babies again
You need to have a one rein stop, started on lateral work, started on a back up, and then you can go to the Missing Link Snaffle. You can always go back to the halter if you feel the need. Don't think of broken snaffles, no matter how many moving parts they have, as "something soft." They are designed to collapse onto the bars of the horse's mouth and cause pain. Because of all of those moving parts, there is not clear signal to the horse. If you intend to take her into the rodeo world or compete in any timed event, your job for the next 3 years is to teach her patterns at a walk, trot, and lope. No galloping until she's 5 and fully understands the job.
Franklin TN..🐎.is THE "Go To" in TN...if you're into HORSES. LIVED THERE 13 Yrs. Can't say much about Wyoming...as ive never lived there. 🐎 Would really LOVE to visit, tho.
Always look forward to all your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m getting my youngster started and we are mainly riding in a rope halter. Sessions are short. Ive also ordered the missing link snaffle back in March. It will be some time before we move to the bit as he too is going through a lot of teething right now. Chinaco I giggled at your antics ❤️ this may be a long shot, bit if ever you decide to travel out our way (eastern Ontario) Would dearly love to meet you and be part of a clinic. Hope you are healing well and stay safe!
You said you feed your horses alfalfa hay. Do you feed them any grain and if so what kind? For example pelleted feed, oats, sweet feed ? Also is the tread on your stirrups 3 or 4 inches deep? Thanks for all the great information..
So I got Pat's book and a couple videos, the one question I have is do you go from broken link to the bosal? If so, how do you determine that? I'm starting a filly and I'm just trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can
We don’t use any snaffle bit prior to a bosal. We only use a bosal on young horses that we are taking to a spade. We only use a Missing Link Snaffle on older horses who need to learn lateral work or young horses who won’t be going to a spade bit for whatever reason.
They are in fact not harsh. They force riders to use their bodies to communicate rather than yarding the horse around with their hands. Also we ride our horses in collection with one hand because we want to be able to rope and work gates and wave with our free hand so this type of bit is a more effective and elegant way of achieving this goal. FYI more horse tongues have been damaged by Snaffle bits than by leverage bits.
Maybe not the right place/way to ask, but could you show us how do you hang the spade when the horse is at the bosal stage (not sure my question is understandable 🇫🇷) Thanks 🙏
I wish people from all training disciplines would watch your videos, (especially this one!), to understand the reasoning behind the Californio method. There are a lot of subtleties that aren't apparent from just looking at the tack. It would be interesting to have a Haute Ecole trainer compare methods. (I know even less about their methods). I bet they could learn a thing or two.
I really like your videos , my saddle didn't come with a front cinch , what would be a good average length to get ! Could it be a 28 inch ? Thank you !
Our saddles do not come with a cinch because the size will vary depending on the size and depth of the horse you ride. We have one each in the following sizes: 28, 30, 32. Pat also has a 26 for riding young horses.
He can order one through the website www.thedisciplinedride.com/store . There’s an extra $24 for shipping to Australia. Also, right now there’s a 6-7 week backlog I’m afraid.
Your videos are so interesting! Good stuff to learn for somebody who would like to own a horse! If I get the chance, I will buy a horse from you guys! Also, did you ever consider running a "dude ranch"? It would be extra work, and you'd probably need to hire people, but if you have an "off season" (doubtful on a cattle ranch, though) it could be profitable. I'm sure many of your subscribers and watchers would like to attend!
Honestly that bit would work with any horse with the right rider. It's not the bit but the hands that make the rider....honestly if you can't ride you horse with a halter and get everything you want done with just that...you shouldn't use any bit. Just my opinion...best of luck and god bless you for trying to make yourself and horse better.
I just found your videos. I love them. I am learning so much.
Pat's respect and love for the horses is evident in every interaction he has with them. This gentleman should be listened to, he is a national treasure and historian.
These are very very worthwhile informative videos. I love Pat’s down to earth, straightforward language.
I appreciate your videos- they are like an intelligent conversation with friend who knows more than me!
Thank you for making these!
The Missing Link Snaffle bit is one of the best made bits I have owned. It works just like Pat says it does.

I believe most folks ride the breaks all the time especially in a traditional Snaffle. Pull on it when you need to or let it go when you don't.

Thank you once again Pat for teaching me a few new horse tips. Bit are so misused makes me feel bad for the horses. God bless

Great lessons on the bits thank you
Thanks so much that was extremely helpful
I enjoy the history lesson he give about the west. Especially the hispanic - us history
What is Pat's opinion on how to determine your saddle seat size?
Yeah, been wondering this as well
I always stick to a rough out seat better than a tooled😂

You said you feed your horses alfalfa hay. Do you feed them any grain and if so what kind? For example pelleted feed, oats, sweet feed ? Also is the tread on your stirrups 3 or 4 inches deep? Thanks for all the great information..
So I got Pat's book and a couple videos, the one question I have is do you go from broken link to the bosal? If so, how do you determine that? I'm starting a filly and I'm just trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can

I've learned so much from you. Thank you
Good video
Your colt is having fun with the hobbles, lol. If you can train, ride in a hackamore why go to a bit at all? Those lever bits seem harsh.
They are in fact not harsh. They force riders to use their bodies to communicate rather than yarding the horse around with their hands. Also we ride our horses in collection with one hand because we want to be able to rope and work gates and wave with our free hand so this type of bit is a more effective and elegant way of achieving this goal. FYI more horse tongues have been damaged by Snaffle bits than by leverage bits.
What type of horse but do I need for a Tennessee walker horse
The same bit we use on any other breed of horse is what we would use on a Tennessee Walker: ua-cam.com/video/lvt0PBr61Cc/v-deo.html
Do all saddles come with stirrup gaurds
Yes.
Maybe not the right place/way to ask, but could you show us how do you hang the spade when the horse is at the bosal stage (not sure my question is understandable 🇫🇷)
Thanks 🙏
Great video. I enjoyed all of it.
I wish people from all training disciplines would watch your videos, (especially this one!), to understand the reasoning behind the Californio method. There are a lot of subtleties that aren't apparent from just looking at the tack. It would be interesting to have a Haute Ecole trainer compare methods. (I know even less about their methods). I bet they could learn a thing or two.
Good stuff! Learned a lot.

Hi I’d be interested in purchasing a saddle if they’re available.
Here is the link to our website:
www.thedisciplinedride.com
Thank you for putting into words (eloquently) what I could never explain about my gut dislike of "correction bits". Thankful for your wisdom from SC!!
Yeah... right... 😉🐥
I really like your videos , my saddle didn't come with a front cinch , what would be a good average length to get ! Could it be a 28 inch ? Thank you !
Our saddles do not come with a cinch because the size will vary depending on the size and depth of the horse you ride. We have one each in the following sizes: 28, 30, 32. Pat also has a 26 for riding young horses.
How can a fella from Australia get one of these snaffle bits of yours with the cricket?
He can order one through the website www.thedisciplinedride.com/store . There’s an extra $24 for shipping to Australia. Also, right now there’s a 6-7 week backlog I’m afraid.
@@PatnDebPuckett I just tried going into your site and it says it can’t be found .

Would that bit work for an English ridden horse? Currently being ridden in an Eggbutt Snaffle
Honestly that bit would work with any horse with the right rider. It's not the bit but the hands that make the rider....honestly if you can't ride you horse with a halter and get everything you want done with just that...you shouldn't use any bit. Just my opinion...best of luck and god bless you for trying to make yourself and horse better.
Myler bits come with that kind of mouthpiece for English horses. Even Pat has said that riders are safer in a snaffle than a halter or bosal.
Is this in California?
Yes.
