Hallo!.. I am getting over the Covid,call me covetti bettie, I have not been able to play with my horses for a month... I will hang the cricket bit on my Arab gelding just before spring hits. I love you all for the information you have shared and your help with my big brother (a viet nam vet). I love watching and listening to you ... and by the way xoxoxo...

[@lisag378]

Love the Hawaii storynabout the feral cattle. Super interesting. I learn something every ti,time, I watch. God bless!

[@randolphlearning5255]

Short n sweet, just the way I like em. God bless Pat and Deb.

[@gaylef3477]

Excellent lesson on horsemanship, and I always look forward to the history lessons you give.

[@BillZaspel]

This is EXACTLY what I have been working on and what we needed to hear; my horse and I are refining our dance and this is the lesson we've been focusing on as we move forward together. Thank you.

[@vicki1141]

Appreciate your lessons so much! Thank you both Deb and Pat. Lunch is over, I am going back out to my horses.

[@murphyshsu]

Thank you for making this. I love that you explain exactly what you are doing with your body. Very helpful. Loved the expression on that horse... he was “at school” and learning, but wasn’t scared of it and the pieces were presented to him in an understandable way.

[@Alphaboxer]

Love how you go straight to the point! Thank you

[@michaelv2181]

Thanks for another great video and the history lesson stay safe

[@jmad2328]

Thank you for the video Deb. Please send my regards to Pat. Stay safe and God Bless- Johnny

[@woogaboogawiththegreenteet8436]

thanks fpr another bit of your knowledge pat

[@fallbrkgrl]

As y'all know, I'm not a horse person, just have an absolute love for them, and would someday love to work with them, hence all of the videos I watch. That said, I think Patrone is beautiful! He looks like he is such a good boy. I'm pretty sure I'm going to watch this video quite a few times, just because I really like watching him work. Thanks Pat and Deb 😊 Stay safe and have a wonderful day. ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎

[@MrSanteeclaus]

I love this pony.

[@rexpirie5807]

Ahhhh... you're a master Pat Pucket :)

[@mariarailean4154]

Thank you I needed this!! I appreciate the video a ton thank you again and hope the best for you 2!

[@kimnenninger7226]

Good lesson, both riding and history. Keep up the good work.

[@nicolemaddox210]

thank you for the history. Lords blessings

[@dnulsrot]

I'm not sure if all know how brilliant Pat's videos are. In this short video is so much information. Last Friday I did teach the turn to one rider and on Tuesday Pat show it in a 10 minutes video, that took me a hour to explain :( You see also what the neck rein do to horse bend in the turn, this horse bend his neck but forehead is leaning to outside, not much but still wrong.

[@carlBigSpoonjohnson]

Yessir great lesson 🤠

[@joelhamilton6720]

So good

[@Meanfidler]

Thank you for sharing!!

[@wesmccoy7061]

Thank you for these videos Pat and Deb. I have applied many with my horses and intend to apply more. From your Canadian Friend

[@marylamb56]

The horse is patient, in allowing us, that we think we are training the horse! They are actually, training we humans! God is so good and truthful I ! Have complaints!

[@davidjones6557]

Well done ...Kudos

[@MrSanteeclaus]

Dang I like this pony.

[@tonyaturner7053]

Australian here .. Hawkesbury River region. A question… How long does it take a horse to get used to switching “off “ as you put it ? Thanks in advance Pat 🙏

[@PatnDebPuckett]

The better you breathe, the quicker the horse “switches off.”

[@dwrr9084]

Pat, I don’t know if you have a video about the proper use and leg position while riding with Spurs? I need to work on not inadvertently bumping the horse with my spur when trying to maintain my seat, example being quick direction changes or riding over rough terrain. I’m sure it just takes more practice, but a little direction would be helpful thanks.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

We will cover this subject in an upcoming video.

[@Alex-horsman]

Hello. One day you said: "one saddle for few different horses..." could you advise, what gullet size your saddle has to be such universal? Thanks!

[@PatnDebPuckett]

I believe that the gullet width on our saddles is 7 inches. But the gullet is not the only thing that makes a wade saddle so versatile. It has to do with the way the rigging sits low and gives the horse room between the cinch and the horse’s elbow.

[@Alex-horsman]

@@PatnDebPuckett and what does it mean "Wade" saddle? Thanks.

[@deirdrepratte9231]

Pat and Deb, thank you for another great video! I have learned so much from watching you. You are a true partner to your horses. I have a horse at a Hunter/Jumper barn (the only thing I jump is off) and I'm sure the young girls there wonder who my friend Pat is. At least once a day I say to them "Well, my friend Pat would say... "

[@marylamb56]

Do too my own fault, I make it sooooo complicated! Thank you Pat, for telling us as you believe! ⭐️👍🏻🙏🏼😅✝️🇺🇸

[@epona9166]

Pat, quick question: When you say "western bit", what kind of mouthpiece are you talking about. The San Joaquin half-breed in your bit video?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Any medium to high port SOLID mouthpiece preferably with a loose cheek.

[@epona9166]

@@PatnDebPuckett Thanks so much. By loose cheek you mean like a Sliester? The cheek pieces would rotate around the mouthpiece except that there's a hobble at the bottom where the reins attach, so they can't really go anywhere. My Sliester has a solid mouthpiece with a low port; the cricket/roller is in line with the sides of the mouthpiece and the middle of the mouthpiece runs up over the cricket and back down to the other side. The port isn't separate like your half-breeds. It's integrated I guess you'd say. So that would NOT be a western bit in your world?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

@@epona9166 A Sleister has a loose cheek as it is not welded solid to the cheekpiece. A solid mouthpiece is the opposite of a correction bit which is cut up into 3-4 different “joints” and acts like a snaffle with a port and a shank. A “correction” bit is not a western bit. It’s short cut. A Mona Lisa, a ported bit with or without a cricket or roller, a half breed, are all western bits whether or not the canon bar is solid or if the canon bar forms the port.

[@bagofgrain]

Can u teach this without the leg pressure? Im a double amputee. Im working my current horse n im trying hard to adjust to not being able to use my legs as much.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

I believe it would be possible perhaps with the help of someone on the ground at first. Your goal would be to teach your horse to move off of your seat bones when you twist in the saddle and look in the direction of the turn. That is, incidentally, the goal of all good horsemen. You just have to find a way to teach it to your horse without the initial use of leg pressure. Just break it down until your horse understands. Good luck and keep us posted!

[@colbycaldwell5248]

Can you explain the cavison

[@PatnDebPuckett]

We use a noseband to remind the horse that he no longer has to defend his mouth. It’s a temporary tool that we often use on older horses.

[@logankomant4467]

arrogant

[@bagofgrain]

You obviously don't know wisdom when u see it. I bet u couldnt pour piss out a boot with instructions on the bottom without soaking urself either.

[@jj_hoolio]

That horse isn't 'light', he's avoiding massive bit pain. 'There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.' Poor little horse. Good boy for putting up with garbage human narratives and torture devices like a shank as long as a hand and spurs! Ugh. And you're teaching people this? I generally avoid this nonsense, but I saw the bit and had to speak up. Shame on you for promoting such incredible cruelty.

[@kidstuff44555]

Actually Pat is the opposite of cruel, he never uses the long shank bits until they understand how to turn stop and go from his body cues, he teaches this using either a bitless halter or an unjointed (the mildest type) of snaffle. I watch a lot of horse riders and trainers on youtube, and Pat's way of teaching horses is kind, fair, clear and easy for horses to follow. This is a rare combination. You are an example of someone who doesn't know enough about a topic to understand it
