Another video which addresses a viewer’s question. Pat goes over how he is teaching a 12 year old mare named Rasberry how to stop off of her rider’s seat.
I also remember hearing the crickets roll when horses were in the lineup at horse shows. It certainly seems to be a thing of the past. Those horses are so dumb down and turned into robots it's pathetic. I think most have disassociated just to survive. Horses are our partners and even life partners you need to have fun with not all work, no play or relaxation along with some stimulation learning new things cross-training etcetera. I used to cross-train my race horses and take them to the hills or the river, I did a lot of physical therapy with them at the track and in the barn and they would run well with me new horses also would come back and run well. they really enjoyed being out and moving across the land and seeing new things and learning. Thanks again for your great videos.
I hope that you didn't stop training race horses because I think that the industry could use a little more rounded view of conditioning. So many people just don't see the value in that type of conditioning but it keeps them sounder longer, keeps their mind fresh, and can give them a heads start on their after racing career. We did that with our show horses and we never had one go unsound.
That makes me happy to hear!! I know that show/event horses are masters of a craft, but when all a horse knows is stalls, turn outs, and arenas... its like putting a person in a padded cell for their whole life. A horse can be mentally stimulated with human objects, but how about the open air and the shadows of the trees, the worn trails and stopping to graze? Hell, even humans are shown to Need nature (obviously , don't need science for that one). How could a smart but primal horse not need that? It makes me happy to hear that you would take them out on trails like that. You're also setting them up for life after racing. My aunt's ex-racehorse couldn't lunge to the right without falling over. I am not a "all horses should be wild" person. But like you said, they're not machines.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share your wealth of knowledge on training the horse in the vaquero method and what you have learned over a lifetime of working with horses. It is a pleasure to watch you gain the trust of the horse. I like your easy going style. You are an excellent teacher of both horse and human. I look forward to every one of your videos and you are the first subscription that I check when I get home. I think you're that good. I am on Cape Cod in Massachusetts to satisfy your curiosity of where people are from.
Really liked that wisdom at the end..I ll put that into other areas of my life.. Be humble, dont think you're so handy..be a fair leader. Thank you, I needed that
"Be a fair leader" - I really like that... Thank you Pat and Deb for another great exercise. I also really appreciated how you stressed patience when getting to the feet. Wise words... I will get right to work on this!
Im a horse owner mom two of them 🐎🐎 my trainer pushed my Buddy thru lunge work and Parillie traning hard n fast and left ny Buddy a mess! Thanks fir the great simple real traing videos ❤️☺️ Ive had to reteain almost everything for him
Thank you for taking your time with her as you bridled, and how well you identified and explained each brace. By the end, her frame was so much 'prettier' than when she started.
This is a jewel. So many take-aways. There are lots of holes in my horse's training. However, my goofy 26 yr. Arab loves to back-up. I have questioned the quality of his brain but I'm grateful he gives it to me so easily.
Thank you for your training videos! I love your patience and clear explanations. I also appreciate you repeating yourself verbally and physically showing us. I"m not sure about everyone but it takes repetition to thoroughly understand the steps! Thank you!!
I love your videos! Gives me so much to work on and love the way you explain things to make it so simple. Special THANKS to Pat & Deb for putting these together. I could binge watch these all day!
Thank you for sharing, the scenery and confirmation of this horse are superb, you're so right when that top line and fine tuning kicks in it will be perfection!
Thank you for sharing from Northeast Maine. This is the first video I watched. It was shared on a working Morgan site. Liked the section on the GoTo. Well done with Grand Country in the background. Keep them coming.
Wonderful explanation and another tool at a very needed time. Had most of it, but you really filled in the 'holes' with this demonstration. Always looking forward to your videos. Thanks.
I’m going to be up all night watching these videos. They are that good! Thank you Deb for your great camera work. I could see the point where she quit “makin the corn planting rows”
thanks Pat and Deb, good stuff, we took 12 horses we acquired and threw the bits away and converted them all to bosal and mecate horsehair reins.. they aren't all perfect but we like them better
Can't tell you how much I got from this video. I've been working with my horse on this very thing and this just makes it so clear what to do to be successful. Thank you. I hope you come to Oklahoma soon!
Wow what n amazing place you have. Really enjoyed this lesson. i hope i can put in into practice and do my horse justice .Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Of all the lessons presented, I believe that this ONE presents the essence of everything the best; patience, listening, release and be a fair leader. All of the elements of most of the lessons are presented here is the most concise package on this very basic foundation lesson. Thank you very much for the things that you are sharing. Thank you for preserving the traditions and heritage of true horsemanship.
A very nice example of excellent horsemanship ! Thank you for sharing. I like how you pay attention to small specifics. I love this quote, and it fits you perfectly. " A general trainer, gets general results. A specific trainer, gets specific results." You sir, have my respect. Ride on!!!
Thank you again for taking the time to make this video. I wish I could have found you 20-25 years ago and just be a gentle method trainer. I know I've had to unlearn a lot of the garbage I learned when I was younger. No, it's just not fair to the horse to demand so much in a short time. I completely understand your comment exposing them to too much in a short amount of time expecting them to learn it all. Gentle hands and patience will give you a fun willing happy partner. Cruelty only leaves you with the skittish scatterbrained unpredictable creature. Repetition repetition repetition we learn that way and so do they. I thank God for this beautiful creature.
Hello! When I was about 11 or 12 years old (I'm 57 now), I read a book on classical dressage. I was a western rider and still am but I learned some things from that book. A lot of it was hard to understand at my age then, but I actually picked up and was able to apply a lot of it. One of the things I remember, you just demonstrated in this video. The language of horsemanship is ancient. It hasn't changed all that much. Keep communicating the language of the old masters. Horses understood then, and they'll understand today.
Another great explanation of the horses mind and how to get you both on the same page. You are great at explaining what you do and more importantly, why you do it. I like that you stress to be a fair leader, and that you like the horse to come home with a bob in its walk.
That bridle is so similar to mine. It was almost a pony bridle which fit my horse from mouth to poll, but the browband was too small for her arabian head, so we put a different browband on, but it had little silver rounds at the temple and tied at the bit just like that. Super cute.
Thanks for this and the one on backing and side passing. I think I can do a better job now with my Kentucky mtn horse that doesn't care for backing and tends to root.
Pat & Deb I absolutely appreciate the outstanding information & content you are sharing with the world. I have spent over 32 years of my life in the performance horse Industry, & the last 20years educating people in a positive, & inspirational manner about performance horses. I have also worked very hard at dispelling the very negative stereotype attached towards the terms "Reiner" & "Showhorse". I truly believe that many uneducated individuals discredit, & unjustly curse the Reining/Cowhorse industry because some extremely negative person with 1 or 2 bad experiences, with bad examples spreads this sour attitude. I'm a Horseman, that completely agrees with, & applies the exact same Horsemanship philosophy. I also participate in the Performance/Show/Reining industry & struggle to understand why the unnecessary & sometimes extremely negative attitude/ separation between two world's. I make it a point to positively reference working Horsemanship, the same as I speak of Performance Horsemanship. Two world's with ultimately the very same goals with their horses. "Reiner" is not a 4 letter word. I truly believe that education is the key, & the information that Pat is sharing is definitely what people desperately need, & I will continue to support this channel, & your content.
Thank you very much for your input...with the deepest respect. I think the saying is that one bad apple can spoil the bunch. People don’t ever send us good, gentle horses to work with so I will admit that we are jaded in that respect. We get the horses that have been tortured in one discipline or another, western, english, etc. It’s refreshing to hear your perspective. Good horsemanship is not limited to any particular discipline.
@@PatnDebPuckett I too have seen horses trained as reining competitors being abused. Saw one guy dismount, run the outside rein over the saddle horse and yank it till the horse flipped over backward and died because he "ran through the bridle". Yet, although I spend an average of six years to "make" a horse - teaching him collection and how to wear the full bridle - I am slammed because I have saddle seat horses. Makes no sense at all.
An excellent book for anyone wanting to work with horses is "Horses Never Lie - the Heart of a Passive Leader" by Mark Rashid. I've worked horses my entire life. This book really opened up an entirely new world of equine excellence for me. Keep searching. Keep learning. You owe it to your pony...
You are a Awesome guy.. not sure where you are located at. Wish I could come join you.. I would love to ride with you on a horse like that.. I can see you are one of the old timers that's rare breed in yourself 👍😁. I'm in Utah. Thanks for the lesson watched because I wanted to learn more about the other life I've never lived country style city is not made for a man. Humble down to earth hard working nature . Animals freedom is the reward.
I wish I could spend all day everyday with Mr Puckett and horses.
This is my first video and he seems like a good man.
I do. I press play at work everyday!
Me too!!!
Love 'be humble, be a leader' so simple and so 110% real.

@@kimnenninger7226 To me it's mild animal abuse to not stimulate your horse. They have a mind and it's good to exercise it. Horses need fun too.

You’re a compassionate and patient trainer sir! 💕🐎💕

I love what you said about only riding half a horse when you’re on the fence. Great video as always!
My God, what a backdrop for these videos!
Love the way Pat teaches. Appreciate y'all taking the time to put theses videos out.
I like your quiet, unexciting but very effctively Method, thank you
Greatings from Germany
Thank you for taking your time with her as you bridled, and how well you identified and explained each brace. By the end, her frame was so much 'prettier' than when she started.
You sir are a horseman...not a rodeo cowboy. Your age proves how the Dorrances continued to ride well into their 80's even starting an OTT
This is the epitome of firm but fair- not getting frustrated with y’all learning each other and her being green to where she needs to be NOW. ❤❤❤

thanks Pat and Deb, good stuff, we took 12 horses we acquired and threw the bits away and converted them all to bosal and mecate horsehair reins.. they aren't all perfect but we like them better
I don’t have a horse and may not ever, but these videos are awesome! Love this man. Reminds me of my great uncle.
That’s amazing, so simply explained, thank you..
Just what I was needing. Thanks!

Great! Reinforces the one and only thing I know about horses - the slower you go the faster good things happen.
this guy really knows horses. its pretty awesome.
Thank you for your videos.
Very good and real for me and my horse.
Good deal! - thanks for explaining this - off to work with it.
Very good video! Thank you for sharing

Join the group”. Love it.
👌👌
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
So glad I found you.
Thank you again. 🙂 My mare is just like this one in training/behavior and age.
That's a beautiful horse.
What a fantastic lesson for us all - be a fair leader :)
