Good looking horse!

[@heelsdownaz]

Can I come watch you for a week? You offer so much information... so subtlety...I hope everyone values your effort of learning horses the way I do

[@jackkrag]

thanks for the real, k

[@stephenqueen6211]

I have a 9 year old mare with similar mannerisms. I've been thinking that she's not really afraid. I'm guessing that because of the way she was handled in the past, she is doing what she thinks I want. Great video, with good explanations!

[@guinnessstjames3627]

I was watching another one of your videos yesterday. And you were telling a cowboy story to explain what it means when a horse gets a "J" in its tail. And when it puts its tail between its legs. Here at about 1:56 you can see this horse get the "J" and start to do what you said in the other video. But instead of him falling apart. You bring him right back and keep working. At about 3:30 you can see the tail between the legs and the posture change you were talking about in the other video. But again you bring him out of it and keep working. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your knowledge.

Thanks again for another very good video. Simple and to the point.

Thanks Pat good to see you are still busy with what us horse lovers are all about.

[@modocroughstock5700]

Great Spring refresher.. I'm doing the same

[@drariannamedici]

Great knowledge and tarp work for desensitising this man that is anxious and nervous. Awesome advice also thank you.

[@dellefairclough5068]

The horse sure had a big attitude adjustment - through being skillfully handled by Pat!

[@joanettemurch9040]

Great point about quiet and low hands

Next thing to try, water? Great idea to reissue these videos.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

We don’t have any.

[@justincolt-e2u]

you rub the horse with the tarp and let tarp get bigger and start small with tarp on ground. Very good ideas, great progress in short amount of time.

Beautiful! Thanks.

ever watched any jaripeo a lazo? I think it is called that. Buddy showed me a couple of charros in a ring with a high headed bull and were trying to stretch him. Some of them boys roping need a chinga on their horns.

This horse reminds me of my gelding

With trap on the ground I think of it this way stream, river, lake and ocean.

[@guillaumevalat8061]

Great vidéo! Do you recommend also this “homework” for a horse afraid of crossing a creek or a river, or do you use something more specific?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

I suppose you could use this as homework for crossing water if you plan on doing it from the ground.

[@guillaumevalat8061]

@@PatnDebPuckett thanks for sharing all this with everyone and for taking time to answer. What you do both of you is part of the « bright side » of internet & social media. Real stuff for real people !!

[@jedfgross]

So Pat made the comment about having to decide if its a habit or if he is generally afraid. I believe my horse is actually afraid as his response to the flag is snorting, pawing at it and lunging. What would i do differently?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Never put the flag on the ground in front of your horse’s front feet. If he lunges away, your lead rope is too long and your timing is off. You need to keep him bent towards you. Don’t creep around like a predator. Don’t hold your breath. It sounds like you’ve taught him to act defensively around the flag. We have a DVD you can buy on our website if you don’t understand how to walk your horse through this process in detail: www.thedisciplinedride.com/store

Is it a gelded horse 🐎 ? Thanks

[@madisonsack2485]

can you do a video for a horse that rears when you try to get him in the trailer ? please

[@PatnDebPuckett]

I can’t recreate a horse that rears but I will be posting a trailer loading video in the next few days. If you do this homework, you will have control of your horse’s feet from the ground and that will help you work through whatever problems you run into when trailer loading. If your horse still rears, that’s just a refusal to go forward in which case you keep up the pressure until you get the feet to move in the direction you are asking.

[@jebbus1497]

what breed do you suggest for a first-time horse owner?

[@noninoni9962]

An old one.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

It doesn’t matter so long as it’s gentle.

[@jebbus1497]

@@PatnDebPuckett thank you!

[@pyrografix]

I encourage you to look for a gentle, even tempered horse more so than a breed of horse. It's not about the color, the beauty, the size, the breed or anything like that. It is 100% about a horse you can get along well with, learn with, and learn to trust and earn his/her trust. We got very lucky with our first horse as my goal was not a breed or a look and I spent a lot of time looking at horses. Our 1st horse was an 18yr old, big, true Foundation QH who was absolutely the perfect 1st horse for us. While very gentle and patient with us, he would still let us know that we were doing something wrong but never in a mean way. Lol and every spring, one of us was guaranteed to get his 'spring buck' where he would give his rider one hell of a buck but then it was over and he waited a good year to do it again. He was amazing and he taught us so very much about horses and life in general. Horses are excellent teachers but you need to spend the time to watch and learn from them.

[@houstonbrown3450]

I have a 4 yr old tennessee Walker and he knows to longe but refuses to,,any videos on longing

[@PatnDebPuckett]

We never longe our horses. It’s mindlessly wandering. Better to do quality groundwork and get your horse’s mind engaged.

Wearing him out by endless longing is not the way to solve the problem.

[@mahanehsani1246]

[@bagofgrain]

Looks like an Arab! :) how do you get a horse who doesnt like one eye as much as the other to calm down? My mare lunges on a rope(I dont have a round pen), but once i switch directions she does a crop hop n acts like she could cowkick me. Ive never had a horse before that wasn't an overly friendly one. She doesnt seem too interested in interacting with me too much either

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Stop longing and start doing quality groundwork with an emphasis on your horse’s tough side. Longing is nothing more than mindlessly wandering with the purpose of tiring the horse out instead of getting to the horse’s mind.

Left eye ,right eye..seems like its two different worlds to them..🤷‍♂️
