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.
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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!!
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
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.
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”
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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 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!
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!
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...
I enjoy your videos because you are quiet, unassuming, patient and a horseman. I have never considered myself an English rider although much of my experience has been on the "flat saddle" as you refer to it and thus my question to you. When dealing with collection isn't it factual that all impulsion originates with the hindquarters therefor the rein back must also originate from the hindquarters. If it originates from the hand (pulling of the rein) then the back hollows, the front feet drag and the head usually elevates to brace the bit. If it starts with the rider asking for impulsion (forward motion in this instance) arrested by the rein, the horse comes to the understanding that the judicious leg means move, the blocked rein means not forward, the suggesting leg keeps the impulsion and the now asking rein to assist in direction. I believe this gives the horse the most consideration and allows him to round the back and step cleaner, sooner. None of us no it all but seems to me if you stick with this thing awhile, you might. Thank You, Respectfully P.S. the forward motion is arrested by the rein as the horse rocks forward in response to the leg, no forward steps are taken preferably
You are correct in the big picture when teaching young horses who have not been ridden for years incorrectly. However, we don’t arrive to the point of collection by driving any horse, young or old, into the bridle. With older horses, we have found that the back up is new country to them and they actually learn to shift their weight onto their hindquarters better and faster than wrestling with them going forward. Once they understand that they don’t need to lean on the bit in the back up, they make the transition to walking forward without leaning on the bit. I will say that many of the English horses we have ridden are much heavier on the reins than the horses we have started. I believe that is because they are ridden with “contact” all the time, never turned loose to just walk on a loose rein. I am generalizing here. I know there are a number of English riders who are excellent and have a real feel for making a light horse. I would say the major difference is that we ride the majority of the time outside of an arena, in country that is rough and steep and rocky. So a horse learns to use his body in a more natural manner as opposed to riding the majority of the time in the very controlled environment of an arena.
There is no wrestling with forward to motivate backward, one merely suggests forward then simply catches it on the bit and suggests with the bit almost imperceptively to back. "FORCE" is not used (ever). The horse never walks forward, only shifts his weight as if, then steps back the first try or the 31st.
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.
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.
I'd be interested in knowing more about the pedigree, my mare has identical star and snip and close on confirmation but dun. With her the bit is only used to move the nose neck and shoulders. I learned early and often and I am alive today because of light hands.
Where’s Pat located? He’s one of the best horseman I’ve ever seen. I would love to learn more from him. Love his gentle patient schooling method. He definitely knows horses and he has a perfect balanced seat.
Yes he gives lessons by the hour and by the day. You can contact me via email at debpuckett@gmail.com if you’d like to discuss. Pat usually prefers talking on the phone so leave your number and a good time to call. Thank you!
I looked forward to watching this all afternoon long. Very nice looking horse. Gotta wonder though, with an animal that nice, and the money they spent in training only to result in five years off, is there a new owner?
Wonder if Pat and you are onto great new generation trainer /cowman Tristen Baroni with Meyer Company Ranch Horses. I have been watching his videos with huge interest. He is not making spade horses though. But boy the ones he makes are workers.
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
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.
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.
You can purchase the Missing Link snaffle on our website www.thedisciplinedride.com. However, our manufacturer is a bit behind on our latest order so it will be 4-6 weeks before we can ship one out to you.
I’ll put that on the list. We do have a video called The Art of the Bridle Horse. It’s not listed on our website but if you’re interested in buying it, let me know and I’ll email you an invoice. The price is $49. Here’s a link for the trailer... ua-cam.com/video/mHFL6QkDwU8/v-deo.html

Hi Pat -- new subscriber, love watching you work. Question about your bit. It looks fairly similar to the Myler bits I have, with the barrel in the center. I would describe the Myler bit as having a barrel that turns, but it doesn't spin. Seems like the center barrel is more for the purpose of keeping the sides of the mouthpiece from folding in too far on themselves -- not for the horse to play with. You said this was your bit, "literally". Does that mean you made it? Do you have a line of bits that you sell?
Thanks for writing. The Myler bit still collapses onto the bars of the horse’s mouth. Our bit is a Mullen mouth with the cricket in the middle so there is no collapse of the bit so the horse doesn’t have to defend the bars of his mouth with his tongue. The bars are very delicate, basically a sharp edge of bone covered in mucous membrane. The tongue, on the other hand, is strong. The horse has little incentive to have a soft, relaxed mouth if he is forced to use his tongue to defend his bars. To answer your question, we do sell our Missing Link Snaffles on our website www.thedisciplinedride.com/store. We also are putting together a line of traditional Californio silver bits. The first one is also on the website.
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!!!
Me too!
Oh so would I!!!!
Love 'be humble, be a leader' so simple and so 110% real.
You’re a compassionate and patient trainer sir! 💕🐎💕

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
My God, what a backdrop for these videos!
I love what you said about only riding half a horse when you’re on the fence. Great video as always!

Excellent ...good Horsemanship is needed for man and Horse

I hope you guys make more videos. I like the straight to the point no bull crap in these.
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.
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”
This is one of my favorite videos to watch. Thank you Pat.

I don't know how I missed watching this video. Good information.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your videos. They are absolutely so helpful.
I just discovered you and I LOVE you. Thank you so much for your wisdom and insight and patience!! Every horse that comes to you is a lucky horse!!!!!
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!

Outstanding, that is absolutely the best way i've ever seen that explained and properly taught. Thanks for the videos guys
Fantastic and amazing info I learn what I know and what I dont know every time I watch one of your Videos. Thank you
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.

Good deal! - thanks for explaining this - off to work with it.
Such a great lesson and video! Thank you!
So glad I found you.
Love her name and this was so helpful. Thank you!!!
Where’s Pat located? He’s one of the best horseman I’ve ever seen. I would love to learn more from him. Love his gentle patient schooling method. He definitely knows horses and he has a perfect balanced seat.
We’re located east of Bakersfield near Lake Isabella.

Absolutely love your videos! So helpful thank you for sharing!!
I looked forward to watching this all afternoon long. Very nice looking horse. Gotta wonder though, with an animal that nice, and the money they spent in training only to result in five years off, is there a new owner?
No. The owner just put her on the back burner. The first two people who trained her pressured her up and got her bucking.
@@PatnDebPuckett I see. Thank you for the reply.
Great video Pat. Thank you.
Wonder if Pat and you are onto great new generation trainer /cowman Tristen Baroni with Meyer Company Ranch Horses. I have been watching his videos with huge interest. He is not making spade horses though. But boy the ones he makes are workers.
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
EXCELLENT INFORMATION. THANK YOU.
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.
Just what I was needing. Thanks!
Very good video! Thank you for sharing
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.
👌👌
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Useful and enjoyable video, thank you. (PS love your hat ;)). Best wishes from France.
Great video. Super helpful tips, thanks!
Thanku for this. Much appreciated the session.
Another great lesson Pat and Deb! I love the simple and clear explanations. Where do I get that bit?
You can purchase the Missing Link snaffle on our website www.thedisciplinedride.com. However, our manufacturer is a bit behind on our latest order so it will be 4-6 weeks before we can ship one out to you.
@@PatnDebPuckett Ordering one right now :)
Greetings from Australia.
Haha My horse can "plant corn" :)
thank you Sir it confirms a lot of how l think when it comes to riding ,
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. would it be possible make a full video about collection?
I’ll put that on the list. We do have a video called The Art of the Bridle Horse. It’s not listed on our website but if you’re interested in buying it, let me know and I’ll email you an invoice. The price is $49. Here’s a link for the trailer... ua-cam.com/video/mHFL6QkDwU8/v-deo.html
Today's diamond: "Get off the rail and ride the entire horse." or something like that. :)

Hi Pat -- new subscriber, love watching you work. Question about your bit. It looks fairly similar to the Myler bits I have, with the barrel in the center. I would describe the Myler bit as having a barrel that turns, but it doesn't spin. Seems like the center barrel is more for the purpose of keeping the sides of the mouthpiece from folding in too far on themselves -- not for the horse to play with. You said this was your bit, "literally". Does that mean you made it? Do you have a line of bits that you sell?
Thanks for writing. The Myler bit still collapses onto the bars of the horse’s mouth. Our bit is a Mullen mouth with the cricket in the middle so there is no collapse of the bit so the horse doesn’t have to defend the bars of his mouth with his tongue. The bars are very delicate, basically a sharp edge of bone covered in mucous membrane. The tongue, on the other hand, is strong. The horse has little incentive to have a soft, relaxed mouth if he is forced to use his tongue to defend his bars. To answer your question, we do sell our Missing Link Snaffles on our website www.thedisciplinedride.com/store. We also are putting together a line of traditional Californio silver bits. The first one is also on the website.
Talk more about walking home and barn sour or your opinion of what that means please.
