Im from new york. No one is every gonna teach me to ride a horse without me paying them. Idk why im watching this. But id appreciate that u stay doinnit.
Thank you, Pat and Deb, for doing these. My heart soars when I see the notification that there is a new video. I wish I had someone like Pat 30 years ago when I was working horses to teach me. I wanted to learn the Californio way, but I didn't have anyone to watch and guide me. These vids are so good and put so many things together for me, even now so many winters down the road. Looking forward to the continued journey.
Don't believe that I could ever get tired of watching a good cow horse ! 😊 I have been tired and aggravated some at watching a good horse with a bad rider though! Really enjoy your patience with these horses. Pop told me at a young age that without patience nothing gets done.... right ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
You said you like to hear where people are from, I am subscribed from Dandridge, TN right outside of the Great Smoky Mountains national park. Love your no nonsense horsemanship and I use your knowledge on my horses! Thankyou!
"Poco a poco" thank you so much Pat. I just acquired a 9 yr.old AQHA gelding who is hotter than you know what. I've had to really review my horsemanship and take it "poco a poco" with him. You are such a good mentor. Watching your videos is making me realize a good horse is worth all the time and patience you can give him.
Just stumbled on your video and know I’m hooked Haven’t worked Cattle in 40 years and Horses I rode and broke until my uncle sold his farm Man your horse sense reminds me of my uncle it’s hard work but also a gift from God Thanks For Sharing . I’d love to ride with you some day before I turn to Dust
I just happened to find your video one day and spent the next three hours watching all your different videos. Your method of attention to detail kindness and commitment to never betraying the horse is beautiful. I know you are a lot tougher than words like that but I got to say I’ve seen some really gruesome training.And yours is just the a pitta me of working horse and show Horse they’re all wrapped up in the same and I love it
I can listen to you all day long and be a sponge just taking in all your knowledge and what I would give to just be able to work with you in person for a week thank you.
Hello Pat and Deb, I wanted to tell yall thank you again for the jointless snaffle I bought from yall this past summer. It has helped tremendously on some horses I've got and I've even used it on some that were outside horses to "re-educate" if you will. I hope this message finds you both doing well and continuing to be blessed. When you make it to Texas, dont forget to stop in Wichita Falls and rest your bones from the weary travels. Sincerely, Jarrod Lattinville Rafter JK Ranch and Performance Horses
I have a great fondness for horses 🐎, especially that bay mare. The videos are very interesting and enlightening. It harkens me back to the ranch work in South Eastern Oregon that I did in my younger years. Your horsemanship videos help affirm the few thoughts I've had about horses and also boots me for the many boneheaded things I was doing. So thank you 😊. Greetings from Oregon.
Thank you Pat for taking the time to share the knowledge you have, and thank you Deb for all the the the videos and the time you take to bring them to us! You are a Great mentor to young people keeping traditions and history in the forefront of our minds!
Hi Pat and Deb, I really enjoy learning from your videos. I'm not a cowboy. I just like to learn about horses, how you train them and the history of the old west. I like to watch Rick Gore also. His horses are not working horses. Rick shows how to care for a horse and how to ride bitless. His site is 'Think like a horse' if you want to take a look at what he does. Thank you again for sharing your years of experience with us.
Rick Gore. Seriously? He's just one endless misogynistic rant, with horses as a prop. He treats his horses fine, but has very little of value to say, despite hundreds of hours of YT videos. The polar opposite of Pat, who has multiple lifetimes worth of horse knowledge and wisdom in his head and dispenses it carefully and thoughtfully. And respects women.
Look forward to each and every video! Thank you Pat & Deb!! What I wouldn’t do to have all this knowledge 10 years ago! It’s never too late! Appreciate all you do and say!
Another great video. I am glad I found your channel and it is great to hear you have more planned. I like the training video's and love the working video's.
Thanks for making the videos and the straight up audio. I have learned a lot from just watching, some information is what you don't say but the information is there, Posture, presentation, acceptance and all.
Wonderful video, as always. I'm so glad I found your channel. I've enjoyed each video, and think about the topics after I'm done watching. I've revisited many of them already. Have a good day. Snowing in upstate NY today. ❄🌬
Appreciate the marital advice as well as your thorough explanation of why you do things a certain way, and the reminders about 'ranch' horses vs other disciplines.
Man, this guy is amazing on every detail, including the history that he gives. I didn't know why they called them Panola Cowboys. Notice how he takes the bit out of the horse's mouth, letting the horse give him the bit rather than him yanking it. If there's one thing that I can watch someone do with their horse that says whether or not they're skilled with horses, it's how they remove the bit from the horse's mouth
Didn’t the Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon bring horses with him that were lost after landing in what is suspected as Florida? TY for sharing your wisdom and experience with all of learners!!
My cousin was Miss Rodeo Nebraska. My granddad helped the ranchers with their horses, cattle and other issues. He was a 3nd gen smithy and a hunting & fishing guide. You had to flip a coin to guess what mood he was in. My other cousin and I practiced rope tricks & trick riding cause we wanted to be like Will Rogers. Granddad didn't like that much. Anyway I sure enjoy your program.
Love the history lesson! Please comment on lunging horses. You mentioned it and you didn’t seem too enthused with the practice of lunging so now I’m curious.
Lunging is nothing more than the horse mindlessly wandering. Also, it encourages the horse to bend to the outside of the circle. People who lunge their horses are avoiding the fact that their horses aren’t broke and they lunge them to “take the edge off” rather than address the problem. The more you lunge your horse prior to getting on the more you’ll have to lunge your horse prior to getting on. We’ve seen people at english horse shows lunge horses for 2 hours. It’s a waste of time and the repetitive motion will lead to joint problems down the road not to mention mental problems from resentment and boredom.
@@PatnDebPuckett thank you 🙏 I love your videos btw:)! You make the most sense than anyone I have watched. You remind me of my coach of 12 years and I can see now that he was using the ways of the old masters as do you. Much love and respect to you and Deb❤️
Lounging properly done is ground driving on a single rein. Should be done for 15 minmax. Flexion and voice commands reviewed. Far from chasing a horse around on a string b
Jack Hays who was credited with being the first leader of Texas ranger moved to San Francisco and became Sheriff, if I recall the history correctly. A few such Texans went to Utah. Rangers were referred to as Backwoodsmen in Kentucky and Tennessee where the fast American horse is still revered. Some of that info came from Teddy Roosevelt's "Winning of the West".
Most of us would be lucky if we could ever get our horses to the point he got this horse as shown in the first 4 minutes. And that's just when he transitions from the snaffle. Good luck all. And thank you to the horseman.
Pat, when the horse loads its hind quarters is it already collected or does it do that simultaneously. You can see the shoulder muscles flex indicating she is balanced but does not look anxious to jump forward.
Could you do a short video on a ring bit or I believe is called a Chilano bit? How it was used and for what reason. I think the ring was to act as the curb strap does on traditional bits. Thank you
Love the history lesson. The Parker Ranch had mostly Morgans until late 1950's early 1960's when younger folks took over and introduced the QH. The Paniolos missed the Morgans because their tradition had been the bridle horse ...and Morgans by their natural carriage were easier to bridle. I am hopelessly addicted to Pat's history lessons. Off topic but for your average Morgan what would the ideal measurements be for a set of "coastal" romal reins?
Our reins average between 26 and 30 inches long. The big gray mare, Lola, rides a 28 inch set. The sorrel bridle horse, Gypsy, is also 28. We’ve had some 14 hand horses that used a 26 inch rein. We’ve had some flatter built horses that rode a 30 inch rein. So it comes down to the level of collection the horse rides in and not so much how tall he is.
This vidio was wonderful. The Hawaii riders must have been the Spanish Kings men.. On my home town we had many " Mexicans" who were loyal to Spain, and had to flee Mexico to escape the revolution.
We do sell the Missing Links Snaffle on our website www.thedisciplinedride.com/store . If you’re looking for a western shank bit, we like a Sliester bit which you can often find used on eBay. We also like the Jeremiah Watt Product bits with the A100 cheekpiece and traditional half breed mouthpiece for most horses. Here’s a link for those: bitterrootsaddleco.com/arena-classic-bits-jeremiah-watt-bits/
Perhaps I missed it in an earlier video, but where does Mr. Puckett like his snaffle bits in the mouth? One wrinkle, two, or like with the bits in this video, barely touching? I was taught to use two wrinkles with a snaffle bit, but a dayworker on the crew a couple of days ago suggested I not place my snaffle so high.
I was always taught hang it lower so the horse can carry it better and the release and signal mean more. Just my view on it. It's always worked well for me.
We like the snaffle barely touching the corners of the mouth. If you have wrinkles, there’s always a pull so the horse isn’t able to feel the release as subtly as we would like.
@@PatnDebPuckett thank you for responding to this one. I always put my bits barely touching the mouth and the owner of the yard I am at scolds me but I just smile and shrug my shoulders and ride on.
In order to achieve a greater level of collection and communication along with the ability to ride with one hand. This means the rider communicates primarily with his or her body rather than always pulling on the horse’s mouth.
I thank God up above for watching us here below and for allowing us to follow your videos. Sir, you are one , if not the best trainer I have seen in working with horses. First you are kind and filled with love and respect toward an animal. I am glued to my PC watching your videos. Makes me wish I could own and ride again. Thank you Pat and Deb for your hard work and sharing your knowledge to all. God Bess.
No it’s not. Good lounging is long lining on one rein. Less confining and easier for horse to understand than two rein long lining. I establish voice commands and good whoa on single rein. Two reins are used prior to hitching horse to cart. Saddle horse people typically long line a horse 1-2 days a week as part of training regimen.
It certainly is not mindless. I am very precise and controlled in my training on the long lines. Good enough for many trainers far more advanced than me.
This particular bit is no longer available as the company went out of business. You can sometimes find a used Sleister on ebay but you need to be discerning about the mouthpiece. Avoid low ports and their “polo port.” Opt for the high port of the San Joaquin.
In other news, if we can find a machinist who is able and willing to produce this type of bit for us, Pat is in the process of designing an alternative to the Sleister bit. In that case, we will post a video on UA-cam.
My go-to-person for the details on when and from where cattle and horses came to Hawaii would be Don Reeves, recently retired from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in OKC. He researched everything on Hawaii and the paniolos a couple of years ago when they did an exhibition on them a couple of years ago. Other question : I have a 6yo horse which got started as a 2yo, That was extremely light in the hackamore. He's been in the 2-rein for a while and when I'm sure it's gonna be a slow day, I will sometimes just go straight up. It seems however that he can't work his feet and his tongue at the same time. He'll only work the crickett of my spade bit when he's standing still. Any ideas on that?
horse training, history lessons, trivia, and marriage counseling! wow! how can it get any better than this? good stuff.
Amen. Keep em coming!
I could not ever get tired of see that mare.

The origins of horses were found to be from Nevada. The domestication of them was in Europe
The first horses were brought to Florida with Ponze Delon. (spelling wrong) Also the first cattle were brought toFlorida.
I believe the question was about the first horses in Hawaii...
