Hey Dewayne, I am a 23 year old from Florida. I'm not a cowboy or anything but i absolutely love watching your videos where you are giving out wisdom. I know your channel is mostly about wrangling but you should do more of the life advice videos because I know I really enjoy listening to your advice. Its nice to hear from a real man for once in a world filled with little boys.

I am a woman who is a new subscriber. Although I know very little about horses, I accidentally came across your channel and I’m so glad I did. I have binge watched a lot of them for the wisdom and the valuable life lessons that you provide. I just want to say thank you!!

“If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well”. Exactly what my Granddad used to say. Great to hear those words again. Interesting lesson on frugality Vs cheapness. Going to try to apply that one. Thanks.

[@tobybunton1757]

Hi Dewayne… I’m over here in Mt. Airy, NC. The real Mayberry. I’ve binge watched these videos and my wife is picking on me because I’m quoting Dewayne all over the house. I’m 46 and have a 15 year old. Lots of the stuff you are sharing is good for my boy to watch. My dad passed 20 years ago and was a welder… I was too busy running wild and chasing the Grateful Dead back then. Missed a lot… I love how simply you put things. I’m no Cowboy, but as a sober member of AA for 14 years, I find lots of your “Cowboy” and “Old Ways” philosophies refreshing and on par with the life I try to lead today. You are not much older than me, but man you remind me of my dad and it’s hitting a place I needed someone to hit. Take care

[@lucianotrono1381]

Haven't watched the video yet but I'm already moved by your comment.. I'm also 25 and my dad passed away 9 months ago, some days are heavier than others and I also need to hear someone like Dewayne. Father figures are beacons..

[@justinhagel2785]

"Frugal is a positive trait. Cheap is not. Frugal is not spending money on things you don't need. Cheap is spending as little money as you can get away with on things you do need." "So much of your horsemanship is your state of mind. It's your view--how you approach it." Both of these statements are very well put, and I am going to pass that on. When you were talking about the spurs, you addressed some of the "tender people" out there. I always tell those opposed to spurs, that you will see more people misuse a bit and tear up a horse's mouth than you will see people misuse spurs; and many of those that misuse a bit are the same ones who complain about spurs.

[@Westernhospitality]

These videos make my day. I'm still working to have your temperament on a daily basis. Thank you Sir.

[@judeherbert6878]

It wasn't the saddle that was making that horse want to fall down,. I think it was his calm demeanor and the sound of his voice. Also, they are recalling Butterball turkeys because they forgot to butter the balls.

[@sergioalejandrox]

You are a wise man. I really appreciate your videos. God bless you, my friend. A big hug from Valdivia, Chile. Thank you very much for your videos.

[@robvernachio8290]

Another excellent video. I work at a riding stable with a lot of guys who are really heavy handed with horses. They’re always jerking the horses head instead of asking for it, default is to yank & spur & they wonder why the horses are about to blow up… I was always taught calm guiding hands … spurs aren’t a weapon. I wear them & rarely touch my horse with them… I usually get put on the “ difficult” horses at work to get them ready for guests & I have no issues. It’s ugly before it’s pretty at times but I’m a firm believer that quiet hands make quiet horses.

[@maverick1740]

I never heard that phrase, "take the bit". It makes me think of our relationship to God and how sometimes we refuse to take the bit and let Him guide us. But when we do take the bit, He is not cruel with us. He is gentle and thoughtful. Same could be said for our kids. We try to guide them, but they will resist. If the give in and listen, don't take that as an opportunity to badger them for all the times they didn't listen. There's so much wisdom packed up in these videos.

[@Livefreejeeper]

Glad to see more horse lessons. You life lesson are great but what you do on your horse also applies to life.

So funny, she’s not spooky just sensitive ( as she falls asleep and goes down…) Obviously she trusts you two, which is GREAT.

[@kellywalker8407]

Dwyane....there is only a couple times in my whole life that I ran into a horse with Narcolepsy. Now I'm not saying that little mare has it but you might want to study up if you're not familiar with it. I'm tellin' you they go to sleep, wakeup in a whole new world and panic. If you keep their attention they are fine, but let 'em go to sleep, (which can happen even when you're riding them), they can blowup for no apparent reason from our perspective. Just a heads up. Keep up the good work.

This is so fascinating. Even the bit at the beginning about how to train a horse so she doesn't pull back. And I remember a horse once that had a problem with legs buckling if the girth was done up too tight for her. And you break down your explanation so it is really clear to understand. I do hope you continue these step by step teaching videos, really superb. And it's u 've to follow the story of this little mare too.

Thanks, Dwayne. Great video. Beautiful land in the background.

Great point on the weight aspect. What something weighs to us, is a 10th of what it weighs to them. Agree 100%. Slide the saddle up towards the poll 3-4” please.

[@Jules-fh4rf]

Less is definitely more! Well worth remembering, especially with sensitive horses. Bet I've confused a few, sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing. Great video- thank you. I had a narcoleptic TB mare- she'd do the same thing your little lady demonstrated. Would sometimes even face-plant on the rail or out in her paddock, never while I was on her. She too was sensitive, and also very reactive. These sudden episodes seemed totally contradictory to her character. Used to wonder if she cat-napped to compensate for all the energy she expended staying alert. Wish I could've listened to you years ago, quite sure I was guilty of setting her off by doing too much. Wise words, my friend. Keep 'em

[@Jules-fh4rf]

coming. Oops.

I'm no expert but consistency in reprimands and rewards has worked wonders with really difficult horses. I've had a neglected horse who bit and kicked show affection within two months.

First horse video i've seen after watching some of the cigar videos, and i can really see how this profession contributes to the man being so humble, respectful and realistic, among many other invaluable character traits. I can see how working with a wild and powerful animal like this teaches and maintains those values. These are important human skills that we risk losing in the pursuit of safety and predictability. Also makes me reflect on how respectable the old school cowboys must have been, as complete human beings, not just brutal gun-toting tough guys.

I have somehow missed this episode. Very well put. My family raised Quarter Horses & Appaloosas. Two totally different horses, but, the basics are all the same. Repetition, consistency, & patience; The perfect recipe. I, as well, trained all my Labradors for retrieving, especially ducks. No “forced” learning. Only firm straight commands. Folks aren’t that much different. You deal with that with each class you & Momma provide. This is totally off-base. Would it be possible to get a bridal, reins, & bit with your signature. I’m 64. My wrangling & hunting days are over. I’m decorating my living room with an all western/cowboy theme. I have a saddle, shoes, & some vintage art. Anything that you could help with, would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be more than happy to reimburse you for the items. If possible, please advise the best way to contact you.

[@silverkitty2503]

One thing I have learned is that many different people have different ideas of what a finished horse is. I know of one place would would call a horse that has literally just been backed and long reined a bit a schooled horse even though their strides are awful etc canter and trot are not developed when to me that is insane. And i know of guy (who is a good horseman) who would call a horse that has been clearly pretty well schooled who you can lengthen or shorten their stride and set them up for a fairly high jump , entirely unfinished. So even really good horse people can have very different ideas of what finished is.

However, if this question remains unanswered, then my Being might hypothesize that you may not know an actual horse - from his head to his tail. Zone 1: Zone 3.

Dry Creek Wrangler School It appears there is a weakness and a mid placement in her front right leg. Also some muscle mass loss where it connects to the blade of the shoulder. I suggest there is care and attention given to her possibly having torn or damaged ligaments that may have been undiscussed in your transaction, and causing her issues. As well as a defensive pain response.
