The timing on this video being posted was perfect as you had just come to my mind and I was praying for you and your family. I had thought I heard in a recent video you had tested positive for Covid so on top of everything else I was greatly concerned. Praying for God to heal and sustain and give strength to you and all the family. And I pray that you get great prices on the beauties you sell. Wish I could buy one myself.

Omg so I mentioned on the video of your fall that I've not been getting your videos in what I taught was 6 months, but thinking about it its probably more like a year, but my god the quality of your editing has come so far, I love the intro, quality your channel has grown so much since my last visit, raw hide is the type of horse I go for..pity I'm in Ireland, I caught your lives a couple of times, n you made me feel so good been surprised that you have fans in Ireland...I've turned on the notifications so I'll be keeping up, im subscribed since the shout out the crazy pieces gave you a shout out..

I tore 2 tendons out of my right rotor cuff & couldn't have surgery. It was a long 4 months of 3x per week rehab (or being tormented. take your pain pill before going!). I finally am back to 95% use of it 5 years later. It will be hard, but having made it to the other side, will be cheering you on. Your left arm, your legs & your eyes still work, so you can be doing little things and enjoying the horses you keep. They always need to be petted, right? I'm just a glass 1/2 full type.

When you get around to fixing your saddles don't cheap out on the billits and latigos. With leather, oil and conditioner are your friend. Maybe even consider a correctly installed double off latigo instead of an off billet. Heal well and you can check tack with one arm lol.

[@juliederry3719]

Rawhide and spirit are my favourites, hope they go to good homes if you sell them all, wishing you a continuous recovery too, the older we get it takes a little longer for the body to repair itself, and you don’t look a day over 21 lol, tfs take care all x Julie 🇬🇧

[@susancraig-conger9464]

Allen/Blake..mane/tail tangles When bathing horses you can use CHEAP Cream Rinse (for humans). It takes the knots out better than the oil does. I would wash mane/tail first then put CR in and let it sit while soaping up other parts. In OR we have a couple stores that sell it by the gallon. Lease try it then you won’t have an oily mess on everything. Good luck at the sale. Take care and lots of 🙏🏼your way.

[@michaelalexander4331]

I just had a total knee replacement and I’m 74 years old. You’ll be fine as long as you do the Physical Therapy exercises before and after surgery. If you don’t, you will find the range of your arm movements severely curtailed for the rest of your life. It’s going to hurt at first but don’t let that discourage you. Just keep doing the exercises and you’ll be back in the saddle again.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

I hope you make sure the bid is high enough that they don’t go to a kill buyer. People don’t realize horses can be shipped out of the U.S. to Mexico & Canada for slaughter. Many prayers for healing

[@quarterlimit5838]

The type of auction these horses are going to have brokers and people specifically there to get good riding horses. That’s all the auction puts up. There’s a few KZbin vids of these particular type of horse auctions. It’s actually pretty cool to see how they run. None of the horses go to kills, they’re too valuable.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

We know they did not goto killer

[@calgal7828]

If you use saddle soap and get your tack oiled it should last for decades. If it dries out like that cinch they aren’t really save to use, as you found out the hard way. Hope you heal up fast.

Can you show how to tack up western tack, I use English but I've always wondered how the girth (sinch is it) on a western saddle works, it always looks lose, and the back strap..what's that about..its a very different type of tack..

[@adrianashilling2573]

The back cinch should be loose. It keeps the saddle from tilting forward when you rope or stop abruptly. The front cinch is not loose and has no give (most English girth’s have elastic on at least one side.

[@bigbiemacaw]

@@adrianashilling2573 I don't like girth with elastic, it makes a pinch more lightly but yes, I'm a riding instructor 25 years, retired now but never had an opportunity to see how it works, I've ridden in a western saddle once when I did a clinic with Monty Roberts , omg that's 20 yrs ago almost, how the time flys..thanks for the explanation, I'd still love a demonstration from Alan, how many times did I hit post there are 2 lots of the same comment from me..lol
