Grasshopper is Back for a Tune Up

[@plictho9287]

Love the respect you show your horses and how it's always a two-way relationship. I don't have a horse any more, but I'm still taking on your lessons and riding around in my head. It's going real well. :)

[@ltrocha]

Make no mistake... this is how it's done whether it's a ranch horse, a show horse or a dressage horse. Pat's main objective is how to train a top ranch horse. With a slight bit of modification, Pat's training methods will work to train any kind of horse you want.

[@john-draftanimal]

bump. What an awesome horse. He makes you look good.

[@joanettemurch9040]

My pretty Fraulein gave me many many lessons and I am glad I found you

[@timricca4692]

Nice work Pat. Some knowledge, humor, and an exercise to work on. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@bernhardpflug7924]

Another great lesson, thank you for sharing.

[@heidihomorgan2194]

Pat I am so glad I found you . I am learning so much .

[@Ashestoashespetcrematory]

I always enjoy your no frills way of working with the horse, calm and quiet and it makes sense. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@SweSuf]

Your videos cover so much I didn't know I didn't know - thank you!

[@skyrocketcoast219]

Yes, indeed!!!

[@joanettemurch9040]

What a good boy!

[@gaylef3477]

Another great lesson. Thank you! My Dad always said the most useful horse tools were the morral and the hobbles. Love that my horses can use both.

[@johnmcfadden9732]

Exactly where I am with my two horses... one will go to the right like a mad thing but not to the left, and the other does the opposite... This video will be very helpful, to me... I probably won't show it to them... thanks ever so and stay well.. Rocky Mountain House, Ab..

[@richardcameron3681]

Just what I needed tonight working on front rear end going down the arena Well done. Thx

[@charlie4130]

Thanks again for the way you explain very clear. God bless from Idaho

[@heidihomorgan2194]

I appreciate your teaching so patience and calm how you approach the illustrations . It's the body one with the horse not just hands. Thank you

[@davedavies6767]

this viewer has a hard time distinguishing a horse from a buffalo, yet, has watched as many of these lovely videos as time permits. It seems that most of life's important lessons can be taught to the human mind by a horse. Dignity, respect, restraint, admiration, skill, communication, patience...what virtue exists that is not present and necessary, in this man's training of a horse? Also notable is the many times he has referenced his own human development in his efforts to understand a horse. . A dog is a companion. a horse, a teacher.

Best video on not over riding thank you !

This lesson was GREAT ! so broke down into bits for those of us who get lost. Thank you

[@valbeech7509]

Fab lesson! Thank you very much. Grasshopper is delightful! 😊

[@marjoriephillips7440]

I can't imagine anything nicer that a large herd of cattle being loaded or worked quietly and efficiently. Nice for man and beast.

[@AnnieOakley379]

Thanks for the good advice & humor, Pat. Been on both ends of the truck (driving it & loading). I agree with you. Shipping is one of my favorite annual jobs. (Kids, never get your commercial driver's license. Don't do it. You'll be stuck in a truck instead of working horseback. ) 😉🤣🐃🏇

[@Shandougla]

Great detailed information. Thanks from England

[@jeanfish7]

I've recommended your channel to people who don't understand what a spadd horse is....too many people think it's a " correction bit"... nothing could be further from the truth. Your methonds are straightforward, and honest...love you and Deb

[@StuckInNy]

Another wonderful video. Thank you!

Good work Pat.

[@wyominghorseman9172]

Thank you Pat.

[@johnjacobs4207]

excellent work thank you

[@randysmith5802]

Great, clear instructive video, always a pleasure to see the notification of a new one, thank you. How are those suspenders working out for you? I've always been a belt man, but the older I get, I'm tempted... we called them braces when we were kids. Anyway, keep em coming Pat and Deb!

[@woogaboogawiththegreenteet8436]

thank you sir

[@lisathewhitewolf]

Thank you, sir. :) And yeah, I agree, take the time and do it right the first time, and you won't have to take the time to redo it with a worried horse.

[@lifehousehealingmassage586]

I love your videos. Thx for all the lessons.

[@johnmccaughan4195]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Utah_Trail_Rider]

Never heard it called a Morral. Learn something new. I've always called them nosebags and I use them a lot out camping. Don't want to waste grain dumping it on the ground and hoping it gets cleaned up. As a side note, I pack my eggs in grain insider tupperware. The grain cushions the eggs so they don't break. when I get to camp, I eat the eggs and the horses get the grain, usually in their nosebags.

[@katewilloughby615]

Awesome job describing your skeleton action on this video!

[@jeanfish7]

I think Buddy was 12-13 yrs old before he became a Spade horse...by that time, he didn't need reins....he was awesome... .and at over 20yrs old still beat a Poco Bueno gelding in a " road race", ie, the dirt road to th2 ranch:)

[@shannonmugavin]

Great info. Thank you.

[@michaelc2509]

Just found your channel. Great instruction!

[@johnrutledge4946]

Hey pat and deb love your videos

[@lauramoy9940]

Pat what do you mean by breaking at the withers?

[@trevormcclurkin3984]

Who makes or where do you get your morrals. Can only find nylon ones locally but would like all leather and canvas.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

They are older than you! Here is a link for Montana Leather. These aren’t as good as ours but with a little modification, they’ll probably work out just fine. montanaleather.com/product/canvas-feed-bag/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0rr4BRCtARIsAB0_48PhYy9IYv4Z2_1qzCOE9sxQz68RIXLhgVwfSjG9OggI2UYvBFrEOc0aArIfEALw_wcB

[@KKIcons]

If we have to wait till age 10 for the horse to get broke, I think it might be more like 15 for my donkey. He can do that 1st one, roll the hind, but that 2nd one is still a bit too fancy. We will get it though. Have a question for you. Will a broke tree hurt a horse's back (not ranch work, just riding like this for a broke horse, asking for friends who love their saddle but hate that the tree cracked a bit.)

[@bradneumann9075]

Howdy, When doing this what is the purpose of not asking for a slight bend of neck so they don't go forward? I ask for bend while teaching same concept, seems to work. I enjoy every video and am grateful for you both . Happy trails

[@PatnDebPuckett]

There is a very slight bend in the horse’s neck. Any more and the horse is moving off of the reins rather than off of the rider’s leg. When you move on to the western bit and are riding with one hand, you cannot bend the horse’s neck in that way with your hands and the horse must learn to respond to the rider’s leg.

[@bradneumann9075]

@@PatnDebPuckett yes this is what I was taught from my grandfather wich is why I wanted to be sure i hadn't gone away from point. Thank you alot Much abliged

[@jeanfish7]

At least his owner recognized he was " stuck".. good owner

[@raymondjohnson6708]

Can I ask what breed of horse you are riding and why you prefer that over the quarter horse

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Grasshopper is a quarter horse. Pat prefers Iberian breeds because they are built on the hindquarters and they are bold. The horse in this video is an old style quarter horse…before they started breeding for tiny feet and a full hand shorter in the front than the back.

[@mauricelarock3542]

i get stuck to then i come back and watch video then back out and apologize to my horse and try it all over again

[@danemoore9277]

What's Pat's take on collars for your horses. I can tell he uses one but does he use a specific style. And can you folks do a ranch tour

[@PatnDebPuckett]

He uses the three piece breast collar not the pulling collar.

[@danemoore9277]

[@colbycaldwell5248]

Hey pat my colt has a realy bad brace in his jaw and I can’t get him to lighten up and I don’t know what to do can you do a video about that thanks in advance

[@colbycaldwell5248]

Also I ride in a d ring snaffle bit cause that’s all I have I don’t know if that helps or not but...

[@johnrutledge4946]

I know grasshopper

[@PatnDebPuckett]

He is probably bracing his tongue in order to protect the bars of his mouth. If he’s truly a colt, meaning 2-3 years old, go back to the halter. Consider buying a Missing Link Snaffle. If he’s older than 4-5, put him in a western bit if your lateral work is done.

We will have 6 more horses for sale as soon as we can get them through quarantine and across the border.

[@tinoyb9294]

Love how you squared up the head stall before getting on. It drives me nuts when people don't do that. I noticed you grab the cantle when you mount. I was told the old timers would grab the mane and the horn (John Wayne and all the guys in the old movies were taught to do that). Any comment about that? Start to finish, I think this is the best video of yours I have watched. Denver.

[@jeanfish7]

Please notice, that Pat doesn't qualify all horses as Spade horses
