Hanging the Spade

[@lauramoy9940]

I really enjoyed watching this video. So much information. Chinaco is a nice horse & knows so much for his age!!!

[@joelfoster3576]

I find this one VERY INTERESTING because it shows that the horse CAN actually figure something out on its own without any outside INSTRUCTION or guidance...He just finds out on his own it is more comfortable to carry it "HERE" all by himself ... Thanks guys for all the videos and Deb glad to hear you are healing up nicely ..Pat is looking good too ..BE SAFE and HAPPY NEW YEAR ..

[@jarlnerdrum1309]

It is always amazing to watch you work I learn so much as a new rider at an advanced age for learning to ride, I take so much of your advice to heart. As I am with my horses I have found myself just breathing out loud especially when frustrated, taking a step back and finding a new approach. To be honest it has taught me patients I never thought possible, your way of dealing with a horse or allowing a horse to deal with you has taught me to enjoy life. Thank you for these videos Merry Christmas

[@randysmith5802]

You must be very proud of Chinaco Pat. It's been great to watch the process, thank you. Merry Christmas to you and Deb from Saskatchewan Canada!

[@scrutinizer9128]

Merry Christmas Pat and Deb. A happy milestone for Chinaco indeed.

[@DougCoffman]

I love to watch your videos, I don't like a trainer yelling at me while I'm riding. Just because you can ride a horse, doesn't mean you can teach it. You are a great teacher. Although if you were trying to teach me in person, you might lose your'e patients too! :)

[@joelhamilton6720]

Merry Christmas ...praise God from whom ALL blessings flow !!!

[@henri8a]

Such an exciting day for all of us following along! Absolutely magnificent.

[@tonycannon9221]

Hello sir How are you i thought I have seen all of your videos but somehow this one i missed Moreover i took all of your information and transcribed into book and notes format your application and delivery have to be comprehensible and applicable to transfer mentally to me then to the horse your teaching is just that for me just lets put it where the goats can get it as grandpa would say But i took mostly your videos with chinocco and repeated your application to my student/subject now my mount is where chinocco is now Mr. Pat i do not believe in bridles so my place is where chinocco is now congrats to you sir your method your application works so keep up the good work thx. Again thx. Oh also my mount is a FRESIAN SPORT HORSE thx. Thx. Tony

[@ratfan03]

Thank you for taking the time to make this.

[@wendyfowler1396]

Merry Christmas! It's been grand to watch Chinaco's progress, and I have learnt a lot from you, Pat, about using the body to help the horse do what I want - and I get a real thrill when I suddenly realise that I've done it right and got the right response! Many thanks to you both for so generously sharing your knowledge and experience -

[@hillbillylivestock4162]

Thank you for sharing! Feels like watching something being born...big day!

[@clayoreilly4553]

Niiiiice! It's great to see Chinaco coming along so well. Good video, Deb. Thank you both.

[@dylaningle3113]

I really liked this one. Great job on this young horse. I've watched the journey. I live a bit south of the country of the great gather. I'm going to look it up. We'll done Pat.

[@AnnieOakley379]

Having followed Chinaco's progress for years, I gotta' admit that my eyes got a little misty watching you hang this beautiful bit on him for the first time. Thanks for sharing your work. I watch your videos in the tractor while feeding cows here in frozen Montana, & looking forward to warmer, more pleasant days in the saddle soon. 🐃🏇 Much love to you & Deb.

Pat, it is a pleasure and honor to be able to see you on here! I met you back in wyoming with my father Jack (John). I would love to be able to watch you work horses someday. Absolutely amazing to have witnessed first hand how magical you are.. breaking a wild mustang on short order.

[@michaelperry2862]

Glad you are feeling better Deb

[@timothydebord2292]

I worked for Voss McCroskey from Bay City Texas in 1970 he rode horse almost identical to yours. We went from ranch to ranch working hears up to 10000 head. I was 18 and living my dream. You Sir are a true horseman.

[@adrianheinen4705]

thanks for your Input. 25 years ago i started my first mule for the spade. interistingly i had the same procedure: carrying the spade while standing or durig groundwork. etc. I am on the was to start a new on. will follow you further

[@garyfreitag9413]

I’m from Southeastern Oregon, now living in eastern Nevada… The wild horse story and how they got the name shitter, was very interesting thank you. It makes perfect sense to let your house figure out how to hold the spade on his own… I’ll be doing that on my next horse thank you.

[@chrisbahlo5558]

Thank you for this video. Such a big step yet so calm and dignified. Merry Christmas.

[@BlackKettleRanch]

I'm happy to see that you are mended and carrying on. Merry Christmas, Pat and Deb.

I'm so glad to see you training horses up on their back again Pat. Now Deb is healing a bad shoulder. Happy New Year!!

[@ericnewberger9966]

I'm camped at Scotts Head NSW with the Mrs for a couple of days, What a Honour for us to watch this moment with Chinaco. Merry Christmas, Cowboy to you and yours, Merry Christmas. By the way, we watched Deb's video Guide to Saddling, and mate, you are punching way above your weight with her. Happy New Year as well

[@frankdr.steinhoff6670]

[@barbarawitt9989]

Hi Pat and Deb. I wonder, could you please tell us, and show pics, of Chinaco's sire and dam, and give us some info on them? I started following you all when you were packing him, and would sure be interested in learning more about your boy!Thank you so much! Have a very merry Christmas. God Bless!

[@joelfoster3576]

The Big Scarves are GREAT I use them here in Georgia and in the winter time, you can't beat a LARGE SILK scarf to keep warm .. Chinaco is LOOKING REALLY GOOD too and you seem to be doing well also .. Thank you Deb for doing the videos ...

[@PatnDebPuckett]

The wild rags that Gen Quinn makes are not silk. They are some blend of cotton and polyester which is both warm in winter and able to absorb water for summer use.

[@joelfoster3576]

@@PatnDebPuckett Yeah the silk ones will not absorb water too well ..while they are GREAT for winter time they are not much for COOLING ya down .. And you know for the life of me I cannot figure out WHY more People do not wear a large scarf in the winter time ??? Can we get one from the young lady Pat mentioned ??? I would not mind having a COTTON BLEND one

I don’t have a lot of open range to ride in here in southeastern NM that’s close by just a few blm trail spots but from the arena to ditch bank riding make a bit of difference so I can only imagine being able to ride in country like that daily makes one hell of a horse

[@vivianeriesterer4279]

i admire to learn from you….i am about the same age as you and so much of what you show and explain is how i like to do it, but i come from a complete different experiance as a rider ……i have a question and i hope yyou understand that i do have no knowledge about training a horse for cattlework and farming…….if you hand your bit for the first time with this thin rope over his head, doesn’t this put too much pressure on his nekvertebrae? here in europe many bridles have headpieces now that are designed to take away the pressure from the vertebrae behind the ears with a wsoftly padded piece of leather right and left of the vertebrae……do you think this is something beneficial for the horses or non needed bs?

[@patricialeighty1614]

As an older rider with lots to learn, thank you for the way and all you teach. Would it be possible in future videos to physically show us the bit you are talking about please. I'm pretty sure I know what a spade bit is from your other videos but it would be nice to have conformation. Merry Christmas and Thank you again.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Here’s a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqfXYYN4p5tkecU

[@patricialeighty1614]

Thank you so much for the video recommendation. I watched it and it was very helpful.

[@RichardStephens-gt3dc]

Great Info on Hanging the Spade. I know this may be determined by the horse but how often will you do this training or putting him to the tree for him to learn to balance the Spade.?Thank You James

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Chinaco will hang in the spade whenever I can do it for a year to learn to balance the spade and develop his neck muscles.

[@venturesss]

Good explaination but it would have been nice to see the bit out of the horses mouth. I have ridden with spades and have a few. Would have been interested in seeing yours.

[@p4radigm989]

what does a horse need a spade bit for, or any metal bit in its mouth, when he can be ridden with a hackamore or rope halter as well?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

One word: collection. The high level of collection and self carriage we want and need in our horses is not possible in a halter and is not sustainable in a bosal. Collection allows the horse to carry the rider more efficiently on the hindquarters which helps us do a job while preserving the horse’s soundness. We also believe that riding with one hand in a bit forces the rider to use seat and legs to communicate with the horse rather than constantly pulling on the horse’s head and thus displacing the weight of horse and rider onto the forehand.

You can hang a horse all morning, take him to water, and hang him some more.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

First of all, on this channel, we seek to exchange information with civility and people comment in the same way they would if we were all speaking to one another in person. Second, please educate yourself on the time and patience required to teach a horse to respond to the subtlest cues in this style of horsemanship. This horse is a beloved member of our family and has never had a bad day in his life. The tradition of the spade bit is to teach the horse to respond to the body of his rider while the bit is nothing more than balance point and a means of communicating to the horse to gather himself up and work in collection and listen to the rider’s seat and legs and breath and the direction of his gaze. So you are way out of line with your comment.
