[@sarahyake4120]

I LOVE THIS!!!!! "the more you look at a horse, the less you get done" Thank you for this whole video!

[@mickeyfried9821]

A true horseman!! "Dignity" is the word that caught my eye. Pat, you are a gentleman. Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@craigrobinsonsaddler]

Pat thank you for that video. By golly, prior to watching you mate I learnt how to deep breath with my anxiety, with and from humans not horses. Mate eh, I've been doin it on one of the mares here at home, and she now lowers her head nearly to the ground. Her hind legs would always cook but now I have her head. 🇦🇺

[@deborahburgett5878]

Thank you. I’m getting up in age, and I was taught to walk the horse in... it isn’t working so well, with me literally climbing in, while my horse simply wants to load. You’ve taught me to stand aside and use the cues.

[@jasminemoore2231]

Can I just thank you for all your videos? The world needs more people like you.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

You’re welcome!

[@amandastelmacker9634]

I love pats style! Just like my dad. No BS, great information, people NEED to listen to the old timmers before its to late. They have the knowledge that know one else has because they lived it. Thank you for making your videos. From Kootenays in Canada 🇨🇦

[@markb255]

I continue to learn, get a chuckle and become a better horseman watching these videos Pat & Deb. This particular one really helped me teaching a four year old, who somewhat out of the blue, decided he wasn't going to go in the trailer anymore. Anyway, great video, worked like a charm and I now have my horse going in and out of trailer with no effort at all. Thx!!

[@marylamb56]

You truly are the Real Deal. You have lived it! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@bluegliderguy1]

I just love this guy! He is so present with the horse.

[@uweklinge]

A master at work! Thanks so much for posting from the archives. Best trailer loading teaching video I've come across in a long time. Thanks from Alberta, Canada

[@justincolt-e2u]

I like Pats simple talk and calm way of teaching young horses. He gets a lot done without working too hard at it. What a great example for people to learn from. Thanks for the video!!

[@valeriehudson7276]

Pat you have pearls of wisdom, to me the key this time " like your waiting for a bus" I have gotten in more trouble trying to put a training in a certain amount of time. A humans time schedule is not the priority - - Yes you act like you do not care, but also know this (whatever task it is ) will get done. Best attitude. A tell my horse if we begin we will finish do not be in a hurry. Gratefully V.

[@chrism1164]

I have watched many "Difficult Horse" trailer loading videos - this is by far the best of them all. The quiet, firm way he goes about everything - the way he gives the horse room to think and learn, but still having to be respectful - the fact that he teaches the horse how to chose to go properly into the trailer, then stand quietly, then turn around and go quietly out when asked. Makes more sense than any other video I've seen. His explanations about how the horse thinks and why it does what it does, and how he can cause the horse to think differently and make right choices is amazing! My horse is gone now - but I wish I would have seen this video years ago. I knew ground work was important, and was willing to spend the time - I just didn't have anyone to teach me how the horse thinks and how to work with that to get the desired results in a relaxed quiet way. Also - I never saw anyone explain about letting the horse turn around to go out of the trailer head first - it makes such sense! My horse never liked backing out and having to step down while going backwards - not a natural feeling for a horse. THANK YOU for this video!

[@valbeech7509]

Fabulous, so much more than trailer loading! A real lesson. Thank you Pat. 😊

[@timross7046]

I'm from Montana. Wish I would have been smart enough to do ranching . At 72 , way to late now but I really enjoy how patiently you train your horses. Only hoarse rancher I 've been around Ross Ranch up by Jordan , had one older brother mugg the colt or pony and the younger brother got on and went for a wild ride . There horses always seemed jumpy to me . I like your way better but I don't think they felt they had time like you do . Thanks again

[@rockinpranch8173]

Love your sense of humor. More importantly, your style of training, but love the sense of humor too.

[@jpthrift9210]

I wish I had found this video before starting to try to train my new filly to trailer load. At least I have a better direction to go forward. I suppose admitting you have a problem is the first step to fixing it. I am a dink. Admittedly said.😂 Thanks for the insight Pat and Deb.

[@juanitaburt5281]

Wow so calm & your method is effective. Thank you for the video. I really like it

[@eqwne5]

Great video. Love your black and white attitude with no drama.

[@wesmccoy7061]

That is so amazing. You make everything so simple. Low energy and patience and consistency. Thank you

[@juanitaburt5281]

Hi Pat, I want to thank you for the video. I tried it with my mare & she loaded stress free.

[@lauramoy9940]

Love the narration of the videos. Hes definitely a drama king.

[@gabbette999]

I'm with Barb...impressed.

[@wesmccoy7061]

Amazing video. You explain everything so simple. Low energy, patience and consistency. I’ll have to try this with my boys. Thank you

[@edro3838]

Barbs not the only one impressed. Nicely done!

[@bradley-sky-watcherlynn2612]

Excellent ❤

[@russ-teebucketranch9556]

THIS is the video I was searching for at 3 AM last week. Thanks! I even watched several ads hoping you'd make enough to make a cup of coffee. Thanks again...

[@charliediradour]

"I'm not gonna wait for his head to come down, I'd die of old age." Classic.

[@mercedessilverberg1907]

Thank You for all your kindness and compassion helping us out here to be safe. GOD BLESS YOU and DEB

[@marylamb56]

Too smart, for his good. Just clicked in. With out me knowing the whole picture, This horse might have some Arab in him or her. Dose not matter anyway! Great leadership Dear Pat! Thank you for sizing up a horse with wisdom! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🇺🇸

[@emersontayten]

Definitely has Arab in him

[@clayoreilly4553]

Thank you for another 1st Class video. I really liked the way the horse started getting out of the trailer after the third time in. That is a hazardous time with these horses. Easy does it.

[@victorvisconti2889]

Excelente! Patience & calm... You remind me of my grandfather,,, a hard core “llanero” (Venezuela cowboy)... best resguards and thank you for sharing your wisdom & vast horsemanship with all... Dt. Víctor Visconti, DVM

[@marylamb56]

Ignore ignore, for I am your leader! Watch and learn from me ! Thank you Dear Pat!

[@epona9166]

Best trailer loading video I've ever seen. In most of them, the horse wasn't that worried and wasn't all that hard to load, so you don't learn much. I will say that the horse I need to work with is nervous enough that I wouldn't follow him in and stand by his shoulder like that. He could bend around to the left and mow me over trying to get out. It won't always be like that, but it is now. Obviously Pat knows this horse and can read whether it's safe to do that.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

That’s the reason for the homework assignment of last week...

[@marylamb56]

Means we are doing well! Thank you Pat and Deb! 😎

[@bestofthewestjim]

This guy is real deal. He a no BS guy. I have talk to him personally on the phone. The There are alot of horse trainer out there with gimmick. He not one just a good old boy. Who want to give everything in his has learn. Why because when he's gone it all gone.

[@robertsanders6538]

Thank you my compadre

[@sassy6292]

Try playing the video with sound on first time and sound off the second time. I even slow it down sometimes. It’s interesting how approaching the lesson from different angles is so affective.

[@marylamb56]

And fun to comment, Have had a wonderful, bond, with my headstrong Morab, going on 22 years this July 1 ⭐️🇺🇸😎👌🐴🙏🏼😁🙈😎

[@tinaetter2189]

I also really needed this today. Thank you!!

[@roberthambly9926]

Your amazing Pat

[@whip460]

Thanks, enjoyed it. Glad to hear Dicks name, he makes good halters.

Style was the class of an expert.

[@johnhead9148]

I have searched through your archives for a statement Pat made regarding when putting a halter on the horse tie the halter below the knot. If you do not it will require a knot wrench to remove. It was just a comment and finding it in the videos has not been successful. Thank you if you can identify or re-show the process. I am sure there are some innuendos regarding quality of the halter.

[@graciedittamore1768]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIbVgniZerWZmtU at the first minute! This was also a tip that stuck with me

[@rubiesmilo7128]

I see in this video you have two horses in harness.

[@shannonmugavin]

Great video.Mine will load easy if I lead him but I'm going to practice this self loading. Can you tell me how to get him to quit pawing in the trailer and stand quietly? He quits when we start moving but as soon as we stop he starts again. Very annoying.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Load him every day and leave him in there. Don’t unload until he is standing quiet.

[@shannonmugavin]

@@PatnDebPuckett great idea, thank you so much.

[@BSQLB50]

I enjoy your videos. Do you sell any horses?

[@FieryWACO]

14:00 What is "nylon poisoning"? Is that a euphemism for something else? Or is nylon toxic to cattle?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

It is when you choke them to death.

[@uweklinge]

Pat, would you teach a 10 year old mare, that had only ever been roped(forced) onto a trailer a few times in her life, the same way?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Yes after doing the homework.

[@heelsdownaz]

Pat, What do you think caused the rushing out of the trailer? I've experienced this before and I think there are places on the horse that are less confident than others.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

I think a lot of people get caught up in wondering why their horses do certain things when it really doesn’t matter. What does matter is teaching the horse to walk out of the trailer without rushing. If I had to guess, the horse was allowed to rush out of a trailer and it became a habit.

[@عبداللهالزهراني-ع4ب]

👍🏻🥰

[@leonlopez8097]

I have a problem with my horse. My horse physically will not go into the arena or uphill on a trail. He is fit and use to do it all the time can anyone help?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

This might be happening for one of two reasons. Either you have spent too much time in the arena doing mind numbing and repetitive exercises that the horse absolutely hates it. You’ve made him resentful and sore so he also doesn’t like going up hills. The solution for this scenario is riding outside on a loose at the trot and learning to post. Once the horse is freed up and no longer resentful, your problem should be solved. The other reason might be that your horse started refusing to go places for you in small and subtle ways until he only goes where he wants to go because you didn’t see the signs early on. The solution to that scenario is to get off and drive him into the arena or up the hill then get back on. When you get tired of getting on and off, you’ll step up, block all movements except forward ones, and get him to go where you want. Only you can determine which scenario is the correct one.

[@leonlopez8097]

@@PatnDebPuckett Thanks for replying I think it's probably the first scenario I will practice what you said

[@rcprice8832]

I have an 11 y/o gelding that has no training what so ever when I got him. After 2 months I now have him in my pocket. Up until I watched this video hw would not load in my trailer. Now that he understands that we are going to go for a ride he jumps in q whenever

[@rcprice8832]

Whenever the trailer is open. I just want to say thanks for the lesson

[@TrinityOaksFarm]

Can you give contact info on Mr. McCoy in PA? Thank you.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

This is an old video. He no longer makes halters.

[@stanleywilliams5343]

All that I will say is that we saddled our horses, loop the reins around the horn. The horses self loaded because they knew it was time to go. Maybe chase some cows.
