Hi Pat, I'm just an old man from South Carolina who enjoys your videos. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@Markbossert1234]

My name is Mark Bossert. I’m originally from South Dakota but am now living in Colorado. I wanted to say thank you for your videos. I’m only 21 years old and I’ll I’ve done is cowboy my whole life. I never had anyone to teach me how to rope when I started so I watched your videos over and over and you were the inspiration and still are. Thank you

My father worked as a cowboy after WWII; he could do several “fancy” shots. He didn’t teach his kids anything “cowboy”... I’ve since learned that everything he made look easy is damn hard. Nice video

[@caseychristopher4516]

im from Homestead Florida thanks for making these videos . could watch you throw loops for hours

[@richardrourke9278]

Hey Pat. I found your video today after getting home (Payette, ID) from the Big Loop in Jordan Valley. I know these tips will help me with my roping. Thanks. Rich

[@tiaankonig3837]

Nice videos Sir. Im from South Africa. Hardly any cattle farmers using horses but I aspire to attain the most knowlage to become a cowboy. Someday I would like coming to America and learn the cowboy way. Cheers

[@carlosponferrada4437]

Thanks Pat! As a newcomer and foreigner I tell you how much I enjoy your teaching. Since the first time I saw you in Tapadero DVD until now in KZbin. Please, keep going teaching. What I most like is the you are just real. By the way, geography: I´m spaniard living in Spain!

From Maryland. Grew up in California. Didn't learn about bridle horses, Dorrence brothers and Ray Hunt until I'd been away for several years. Turns out the Dorrance Ranch was only about an hour from where I lived. Big missed opportunity but never too late to learn. Thank you for all your videos. Fun and educational.

Mr.Pat and Ms.Deb,we are from Agra,Oklahoma a small town about 12 miles north of chandler ok. We are trying to preserve a line of curly horses. I have always been fascinated by the vaqueros mindset of it takes as long as it takes. Making a bridle horse is the ultimate because it builds upon that foundation without leaving holes. I enjoy your videos and explanations of why you do things to build to the next step. You're an artist and a good horseman. Thank you for making your videos.

MR. Puckett; Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. I have been trying to figure out the proper way to throw branding loops for a couple of years now.

Hi, from kodiak alaska...just a mom of little horse enthusiasts who recently took up dummy roping. I'm finding a lot of great info in your videos especially the one about teaching roping to your horse. We currently have no roping horses hopefully one day we will have one who will tolerate it. Your videos make me think its possible if we put in the time.

[@kroper3680]

I really enjoy the videos, Mr. Puckett is an excellent teacher. I hope you do a compilation of his cattle and horse handling videos as well as the roping ones. Looking forward to when you get the videos completed and make them available. Terrell, TX

Loving the history and skills, so much great knowledge gets lost... thank goodness for internet. I learned with books, but mainly horses. Thank you!

Another masterful tutorial! Can't wait for the roping video to come out! Born and raised in Billings MT and joined the army and now have a Farrier business out in Woodlawn TN just outside of Fort Campbell.

[@ethanmcnary9119]

Thank you for the video Mr. and Mrs. Puckett! I am going to start at square one with what you demonstrated. Unfortunately, I built most of my roping foundation on team roping. I have a lot of bad habits to break, but on the other hand I wouldn't know about the Californios style if it weren't for team roping. I am back from school now and I am excited to work on my roping this summer! Baltimore Maryland sends it's appreciation.

[@shawnmeeks8202]

Hi. This is Shawn. Just to be clear, I'm not the one saying that the poly is comparable to the riata. I don't know much, and I've never been lucky enough to hold one or throw a loop with one, but I know enough to never imply that a poly rope or any other kind of synthetic rope has the same characteristics as a riata. It's sacred. This was a statement made, in a catalog about a poly rope, by someone who sells ranch ropes. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You are one, of a small group of people, that I respect and look to for true and experienced advice.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Shawn Meeks sorry for any misunderstanding of your question. Believe it or not, Pat wasn’t being critical. Just wanted to be clear. Thank you for the clarification and we look forward to your questions and observations...

[@shawnmeeks8202]

@@PatnDebPuckett Hi! Thank you so much. I didn't take it as a criticism. I just didn't want the whole world thinking I was making a comparison about something I don't have any experience with.

Appreciate the tips. Takes a lot longer if you have to figure out all this out on your own. Not enough videos teaching real roping. I'm from Waterton Park area in Alberta. Been using this style of roping for a few years. I imagine it would be a lot easier with a riata. Keep the videos coming. 👍👍 Thanks. Also wondering if you've ever tried waxed cotton ropes. Have been using them for a few years and would like to know how they compare to a riata.
