Hey, Pat & Deb. I'm living right here smack dab in the middle of the Navajo Reservation (Tonalea area) and I would like to thank you for your mention of the water situation out here. Yes. It is the Navajo people's water. Hopefully they can get ahold of it and make a lot of good use of it for their families. Thanks for your concern. Another good video. Clay O'Reilly
I'm 65 and live in Milltown Indiana. Own a small acerage here and run a few cows. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Having rode horses since I was about 4 years old. The thing about getting older is you start understanding how little you know. Keep making these videos please. Really enjoy the education and history.
All good info. Absolutely spot on with the dog advice. I want to be the source of attention/affection/praise/food for my dog so that he looks to me for those things. The more he looks to me and focus on what I want him to do to earn those ‘rewards’ the easier he is to train. I would prefer that nobody but me make eye contact, touch, talk to, or feed my dog. This is a well known principle of dog training that the general public does not know about. This is why service dogs wear a vest that says ‘do not pet, I am working’. The last thing a blind man with a seeing eye dog needs is for people to be distracting his working dog with food and pets.
So refreshing to hear your thoughts on asking before you touch, it seems that those principles are lacking in today's value! I enjoy your stories and your approach!! Thanks for sharing!!
Pat and Deb. Went thorough this today with my flighty 12 year old “rescue” warm blood mare. I have roped her a few times before. Took about an hour to get her to lead in the right eye. Hobbled tested and released her quickly five times. An awesome start I think. Sure beats watching them flail around and figure it out! Thank you!
Good video as always. I'm a former Marine 1974-76 and was stationed at 29 Palms when I returned from overseas. Did not know about that book but purchased a copy when I heard you talk about it. Can't wait to read it. I am originally from NJ but moved me and my horses to North TX 13 years ago. I played polo until my back went bad, but still team rope a bit and push cows whenever I get the chance. Please keep up the informative videos.
One thing about a hobble trained horse...if they somehow get hung up around their feet (usually with wire) they most often will stand, not fight, until rescued. Thank you for pointing out about basic Western manners. Respect, like common sense, seems to be dwindling and needs tuning up. Thanks, Pat and Deb.
My boss taught me that the hard way for him. I handed him his saddle and he got bucked off later. Also messed with a dog in a pickup and got embarrassed by it barking at me violently. Pat's advice is spot on. I won't do either of those things again! In Denver but grew up just north of Pendleton. That's a heck of a long March from Twenty-nine Palms.
Thanks so much for putting out these videos, Pat and Deb! I tried to hobble my colt last year, and he fought it pretty hard. Ended up at the vet a couple weeks later for a mild lameness from it. Thankfully it resolved, and I've addressed leading him by the foot with a rope since then. I had some fear built up from letting him get hurt that first time but worked on it. I put the cotton hobbles on him yesterday, and I'm very happy to say that he tested them and sat his feet right back down. Thank you for your wisdom!
I was raised in Ramona, CA and stationed at both Camp Pendelton and 29 Palms. Loved my time at both as a 3531 Motor Transport Operator. If the Marines had a calvary like the Army I might have stayed a little longer!😄 Thank yall for making these videos. They are much appreciated.
Thank you sir we enjoy your videos and I'm glad California ain't all yuppys like what I thought.. keep the history lessons coming ok thank you.... From Indiana
I whole heartily agree with you about not interfering with other people and their animals. Right or wrong it really rubs me the wrong way when I'm working with any animal, dog or horse, and some well meaning person tries to step in uninvited and help. For example if I tell a dog to sit and it is distracted, and then someone else in the room tells it to sit. Another example is teaching a horse to trailer load. You've just got the horse to put a leg up in the trailer and an observer thinks they're going to help and comes up behind the horse and tries to get it to move further in. As a former enlisted Marine I must make a correction. There is only one ex-Marine, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Former Marine here and was stationed at 29 and I have worked on Pedleton too. I would like to be in the rotation for the book! Sounds like a hoot! Elgin Az
We marched from 29 Palms to Camp Pendleton when I was in the Corps. It was between my first and second tours. We went to 29 Palms for CAX as we were working up to deploy and when we were done we marched back. Took 3 or 4 days if I remember right. We walked so much as grunts I never really thought anything of it but apparently it was a big deal to some. and I agree, don't touch my dog, it is a sure way to get bit and she probably won't warn you, she'll just bite. She is an Australian cattle dog and a great working dog but yeah, don't touch her unless you want to make a trip to the ER.
Been waiting for this hobble video, thank you Question: do you teach your horses to ground tie. Also loved the don't pet my dog we really need this to come back into teaching. Ask first. From southeast Missouri just above the little hangy down part we call the bootheel.
Some of us still live by that code. I don't touch nothing that arnt mine. I to wish other do that. I once found my horse rode, put away sweaty and my saddle hung wet. I was pissed and still don't know who did it. I hate people wanting touch my dog all time.
Ok we are about the same age and I don't understand why someone would touch some things that don't be long to them I cowboyed partime all my life I was taught u do not steal or lying u work hard and treat everyone fare if you do this life is good I would like to here u reply thank you Pat u are so right
I was stationed at Twentynine Palms in the Marines. I’ve travelled back and forth to Camp Pendleton a lot.. the thought of marching that sounds terrible. From the Berkshires in western Massachusetts
Can a horse be too old to teach hobbling? My horse is 6 years old and she's been ridden a little, ground ties for the most part but i would like her to be safely hobbled. We have started the leading with legs using a soft cotton rope. I plan on doing alot of that until she's reliable with it. Thanks for the video
She isn't too old but you will need to rope her feet before you proceed. Leading her around with a soft cotton rope is not the same. Here's a video in case you don't know how to rope: ua-cam.com/video/mTmdJD6Fgxs/v-deo.html
@PatnDebPuckett why is it important to use the lariat rope on the leg as opposed to a cotton rope? I have watched your video a few times now and the only thing I can see is that the lariat rope would be a much harder /uncomfortable feel for the horse. Then when they actually do get hobbled , it's with a soft cotton rope . That's why I question using a lariat. I have one but I'm not proficient in using it and find it awkward to handle keeping the coils all straight , etc
@@grannyhorsetraining878 Because we actually rope our horses from a distance for one thing. Which is ideal in getting to the mind of a horse. We have an entire playlist showing Pat roping horses both from the back of another horse and from the ground. Also, I can get my lariat rope off of the horse pretty easily. If I tie a soft cotton rope to my horse's leg, it's probably not coming off. And finally, it's easier to manage coils of a stiffer rope safely without getting tangled up in a soft rope. Now if you're just looping a soft cotton rope around your horse's ankle and leading him from the front in both eyes, you're missing the point of roping a horse to get to his mind. Watch the playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLqolZu7D-bMO24uJnwxKZxVsd5DgeJQMN.html
@PatnDebPuckett thank you for the answer and the links. I see your point and what you are doing and understand why . However I don't think I'm strong enough anymore to hang on to the rope when they are freaking out.
I know y’all are from a different time, but including a person’s wife among a list of possessions kind of hit me the wrong way. I feel like I have to speak up about that kind of thing. Thanks for the useful information on hobbling, I really appreciate it.
So when hobbling you want your horse when it's bridled and saddled up you want it to stand still even if it's not a bridle horse. But it's still can grace when you're done with them but don't want him to run off? Then saddle and bridle are off.
If I see a dog in back of a pickup I don’t get within 6 feet of that pickup I had a female German Shepard once if I told her to get in the pickup I never put the end gate down she could clear it with 6 inches to spare and she never let anyone near the bed of my pickup
Pat thank you for the comments on dogs. You and Deb bring a breath of fresh air to the lack of common sense the US is suffering right now.
My tongue hangs out like that when I’m highly focused too. Thanks again for the lesson. 1500 miles too far east in IN.
My grandfather had a saying the more respect you show the less rudeness you will receive. Thanks for all you share

Code of the West. You nailed it. So many now days don't understand how important it is to live by this code.

That truth about cowboy dogs is true for every working dog

I'd like to get on the list for the book on camp Pendleton robertlock4848@gmail.com
Love hearing an old timer and his wisdom
Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts, wisdom and insight. I also really like the share a book idea and hope it catches on everywhere

Thank you for commenting on this Pat! Too many people entitled and think they own my dogs!
Thank you Marines
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

Pat I follow you on U tube and I enjoy. There is sand every where there do you feed hay on the ground
We use feed troughs for our horses and they are on a psyllium regimen which helps remove any sand from their gut.
Been waiting for this hobble video, thank you
Question: do you teach your horses to ground tie.
Also loved the don't pet my dog we really need this to come back into teaching.

Many thanks, very informative.
I love this man. I'm 40, but can you tell him I want him to adopt me! Lol
Love his tongue!!
What can I do about a rearing horse. Anytime pressure is applied to her to turn or to come forward she rears up.
On the ground or when you’re on her back?
I was stationed at Twentynine Palms in the Marines. I’ve travelled back and forth to Camp Pendleton a lot.. the thought of marching that sounds terrible. From the Berkshires in western Massachusetts
Hallo. Worldwide it certainly is. Thank you.
He was cracking me up with that tongue
I remember when I was training my dog and someone said that my dog like them better and I said to put down the treats
Thx
Pat I noticed Chinco tongue again. W have a gelding that does the same thing our guy was diagnose with lolly tongue his tongue is too big for hismouth

I agree. Even ladies of the night and sex workers aren’t for sale. They sell a service. I treat my boyfriend the exact same way he treats me.
My fiancee is a retired Marine's grandson who lived out at Camp Pendleton for quite a while. I'll see if he's interested.
So when hobbling you want your horse when it's bridled and saddled up you want it to stand still even if it's not a bridle horse. But it's still can grace when you're done with them but don't want him to run off? Then saddle and bridle are off.
Oy aprendi algo muy inportante acerca de no tocar una mascota o un perro si no es mio gracias por sus enceñansas señor
Good rule to live by- for non cowboys too
Hi Pat. Do you have a video on hanging a horse is a bit?
ua-cam.com/video/-TrA_De8fP0/v-deo.html
Ok we are
If I see a dog in back of a pickup I don’t get within 6 feet of that pickup I had a female German Shepard once if I told her to get in the pickup I never put the end gate down she could clear it with 6 inches to spare and she never let anyone near the bed of my pickup
How old is chinaco he looks young, but he's tall
i feel the exact same way with my dog. Nobody asks.
My old dad always told me there is a leaver A, and leaver B, he ran lever A and i was to leaver B
Hobble hangs on the saddle of someone that has a bridle horse, just let that soak in a little…
My Grandpa had a saying, "If you don't know whose it is... you know its not yours."
Once a marine, always a marine. Former active duty, not ex…
WHY ???????
Hopefully nobodys dog eats the book haha. Jk
Camping hobbling next
No. We don’t camp 😆
