Oh he doesn’t, he knows his stuff. He has mentioned about the white Spanish and the white Mexicans, the ones who were the owners were lazy. the Vaqueros Mexicanos were the ones who did the actual work in the horses and with the cattle and believe me, these workers were not white.
This guy has studied and claims to have actual cattle working experience. Maybe he does, but geographical differences require different things. The low headed Texas quarter horse was one of those things. Working cattle out of the brush was easier because a low headed horse will pick his head up when needed but for whatever reason a high headed horse doesn’t usually want to lower their head that navigate the brush as easy. They are more prone to want to go around it. Sometimes that isn’t the correct option because the cattle can escape your driving direction. The low headed horse also allows you more opportunities to get a rope on cattle when you don’t have a big window for you to throw a loop through. You can’t always be positioned right on the hip. So the low head carrier doesn’t have its head up in your straight ahead path. The other thing is that horses with high heads don’t cut and sort as well as the horse that is in an athletic position. If he had to react he’s already athletically in position but if he’s up high he has to get athletic before he can react. That only takes a split second but that can be the difference in a past cow or a contained cow. In the Texas heat, time isn’t always your best friend so you don’t get a lot of do overs. I know this wasn’t what his original topic was but just expressing MY difference of opinion about low headed horses.
It's a totally different culture, texas vs california. As you say, there's not a lot of time when working in texas. In california, the environment allows for taking things slow. But speaking as someone that prefers high headcarriage, I can tell you that my horses have no issue ducking under brush. Maybe it's because we live in heavy forest.
Lo rápido disimula lo mal hecho Done fast doesn’t mean done well or done fast done unwell. There is a difference in working cattle in Alta California than in Texas, while in Alta California the way Mr. Puckett talks about is a low stress cattle handling in which May take more time but the cattle is not stressed and that transforms into weight gain and transforms into more money. The fast “athletic” depressing way horses work with cattle in Texas stressed the cattle and this transforms into loss of weight and health complications usually through diarrhea for the cattle. The depressing position the horses assume in Texas is exactly that, very depressing to watch. But the argument to say that things are done fast because of heat ??? If you work the horse and cattle fast that’s only going to overheat them, don’t you slow down to cool down your horses. It doesn’t make sense. The Alta California Vaquero style horsemanship and cattle handling customs and Practices has its philosophy closely related to that saying that goes: Work smarter not harder It’s using the brain to work cattle rather than the body to work cattle, although both are used.
By the way Mr. Puckett has plenty of years of experience working on several cattle outfits, But working out in the ranches not inside a horse pen or arena. I would like to hear how many years of experience his critics claim to have, that if they even ride horses.
@@frankgonzales2462 what exactly is he claiming to be besides traditional it’s usually the Texas styled Cowboys that act like they invented horsemanship. Even though early Californians were taking turns around the Horn almost a century before the first Texas cowboy was even born. And every time I end up working with puncher style, Cowboys somewhere it is the exact same thing everything goes to hell in a handbasket because everything is 100 miles an hour, and everyone is screaming like Indians or causing accidents that could’ve been prevented if their rope wasn’t tied to their saddle I am going to assume you have not ridden a true spade horse, but believe it or not their head does change elevation while they move yes, while they are standing there their heads up, do you really think they run with their heads straight up? because that bitch would be beating the hell out of their mouth
Thank you for sharing the history, love it!
I think Pat forgets that the spanish of the mission days were white 😂 he says in the mission days before the white man, the gringo.
