Making a Gentle Horse - Introducing the Flag and Tarp Promo

[@nitefox4411]

Ray Hunt once said he wished he had never shown people the flag. That is because they attack the horse with it. This man is a maestro. He is showing folks things that take years to learn (the hard way) I know. These short clips, watch em again and again. It'll keep a wreck or visit to the ER from happening to you. Thanks

[@pamelastewart1442]

And ya, you are a master, horse man, just the little clip of you in the cow pens, you make those horses look like they are moving smooth as glass under you. Your a true cow man show us more.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Can’t really show you any more until we get some rain. Here’s a playlist that might suffice until then: kzbin.info/aero/PLqolZu7D-bMNcciERfS3DSFGnY5F6lh0w

[@lisajignoffo9442]

Fantastic! Thank you so much for showing us how this should be done without putting terror in the horse. It’s a journey , not a destination. Please keep making these videos! I love each and every one!

[@lisajignoffo9442]

You truly are a gem for those you choose to listen! Wow.. thank you so much Pat and Deb!

[@debbiefalconer2756]

You a are National Treasure Sir; Thank you for your knowledge and your common sense, looking forward to you both coming out to Australia ☺️

[@jackpine1975]

Excellent information for all skill levels. Thank you for passing on what you folks know!

[@nancyallen641]

A Master Class. That’s all I can say. Thanks for giving us the benefit of your knowledge.

[@LifeWithHorsesTV]

I just found your videos!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!! Especially when he says... "People that do groundwork at a high rate of speed... It's wrong!" I agree! Great video!!

[@martiprice4761]

You, Pat, are a Buckaroo Man! Thanks for all the solid sensible working knowledge you're trying to cram into our heads! Thanks for the good tunes too!!

[@tinasmith9370]

Thank you for your comment in this video, "My job is direction, the horses job is impulsion". I have heard you say this many times in your videos but did not quite understand, now I do. This helped more than you know :) I love the easy way you handle the horse. It does not take flagging arms, yelling and running around the round pen until we are both exhausted and nothing learned by horse or handler. I love all these videos and I am learning a lot. Thank you! Also, I wanted to comment on The Valardo Song, this is the most heartwarming song I have ever heard. It just speaks to my heart and to my soul. I was singing it to the horses yesterday and I think it speaks to them as well. I know it was not my "wonderful" voice that grabbed their attention, it was the words and the melody. Many of them stopped and approached to listen.

[@tinasmith9370]

Sorry I meant The Vaquero Song.

[@bargreiner]

Love his no BS way.

[@lauramoy9940]

You crack me up Pat. I enjoy these videos. I learn so much & am glad you explain why you do what your do.

[@krystlebatt2211]

Thank you so much Pat i love watching your videos. And i live seeing you ride and the seemless connection b/w you and your horse when your riding it is magic. Your yrainung videos ate very valuable also. That dark colt at the end was cute as

[@l.horseman5704]

Thanks for one of your good shared video's Pat & Deb. Nice job on the video too! I just love to watch the horse thinking and understanding what you are saying to that horse. Beautifully done.

[@ginleepa]

Why do I laugh and cry at the same time when I watch your videos? They are the best. Production and editing are well done also. Thanks

[@bigdaddyhamilton8487]

You guys are a real class act. PNW Oregon

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Pressure and release with proper timing, rhythm, and feel. It is an art form to get it right.

[@bryanholliman834]

I like the training method! Good video! Cool music too.

[@rogerfurr4325]

Great stuff. Thank you for sharing.

[@richardcameron3681]

Nice work Deb

[@zachedisonb232]

Dave Stamey- buckaroo man

[@JM-tx2fz]

great music

[@southernforestgypsy]

Really wish you guys would make your DVD's available digitally. Just ordered your Missing Link snaffle, really looking forward to spending some time behind the dash with that bit up front. Thanks for all the education, wish you'd come to Western Australia too. I'm as far south west as you can go near a place called Windy Harbour (population about 11)😊

[@PatnDebPuckett]

We would love to visit Western Australia on our next trip. We have another person from WA who we have to visit as well. Now we just have to get this pandemic straightened out so we will be allowed into your beautiful country! As far as the DVD request, we’re going into our winter and this, along with many other things, is on my to-do list. If you have any preferences as to the platform that works best for you, please email me at [e-mail]. Thank you for the comment and the order!

[@kalebangelo2367]

Would you mind giving me there info because I'm want to start braiding but I don't know where to start and here in Texas it's all hard and fast and modern but I want to go back to where it started from.

[@johnhutcheson8869]

The hardest I ever met my shadow was with a horse whose feet were stuck on a first ride. I was visiting Jimmy Flores and trying to help a bit. Should have got off. Tried to get him to break step. It was not a pretty picture. Spent two days on an ice bag passing blood. Listen carefully to everything Mr. Pat has to say.

[@joelhamilton6720]

So Good Profound ....it's what we don't do that trains a horse ie RELEASE !

[@officialginalv]

I know patience is key, but about how long did it actually take to get the horse from where it was at the beginning of the video to the end?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Between 2 and 2 1/2 hours total.

[@46rambo49]

Rawhide braiding, two words, Vince Donely, can't beat his work IMHO

[@garrymatthews2800]

I can hear the horse working the snaffle it sounds like there is a cricket what is the bit pls

[@pamelastewart1442]

Who is singing that song? It's great. I grew up on a ranch in California, my dad had us horse back on old , stove up broke horses by time we were 6 years old. Glad to see a man sharing the old tried and true ways, no spin and go, given them time, I would like to see you tell us .more about , cold horses versus hot blooded cutting horses., or the right horse for you? Can you get what they call out here.,anyway reject cutting horses, you get a lot of those horses out side the arena , you can feel the tremors run threw them ,want to run away, usually there 3 or 4 years old.question are these hot type of horses, have they been ruined by the hard and fast cutting experience, can't take the pressure of that type of training, ? Are these horses not worth are time, as opposed to the more cold older, blood lines of the classic ranch horse, like the gray I just saw . And yes a quiet ranch horse can blow up to on ya., I'm 63, I have tried and tried ,to get these hot cutting horses, great in the coral, hot out side, can that temperament be slowed down, or is that horse burned out, as we used to call it.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Pat once took a trashed cutting horse and used it outside on the ranch for a year before the horse made it and stopped shaking when he’d approach a corral. So there’s that. Now you could spend that same amount of time on a good horse and see what you would have. The biggest problem we see with cutting bred horses is that they are too fine boned and they are often a full hand lower in the forehand than the hindquarters. This means you are literally fighting their conformation when trying to get them to carry themselves in collection. I would take 1000 good minded horses over 1 hot bred horse any day of the week when it comes to doing real ranch work. Bottom line is we don’t really need hot. We need a horse that a person can doctor outside by himself and not worry about dying. If you have your heart set on a quarter horse, our favorite bloodlines are Blue Valentine and Driftwood. You can’t hardly go wrong with a horse carrying those genetics.

[@sanadalkubaisi7866]

Great job👌👌

[@keithfiggins4955]

As usual great video.

[@bollinj]

I have been meaning to ask this for a while, sorry to be off topic, but do you think you could say a word or two about saddle blankets and pads?

[@ryalv4054]

I think he would respond a little faster if you asked on one of his more recent videos

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Not sure what you’re looking for in terms of information. We use different configurations of pads and blankets depending on the horse. High withered horses get a fairly thick pad and a double blanket. Low withered horses get less. We don’t like felt pads because our horses just aren’t clean enough and felt gets rough and crusty when it isn’t kept in a fairly pristine condition. We use Coolback pads or similar knock offs and nice wool blankets. Bottom line is whatever contacts your horse has to be kept as clean and soft as possible. Hope this helps...

[@bollinj]

Deb Puckett thanks! That's just the info I needed

[@MrSanteeclaus]

Love the horse

[@bradneumann9075]

I love this music and the horsemanship

[@angelabryant4517]

🥰

[@kalebangelo2367]

do you make bosals and reins ??

[@PatnDebPuckett]

No but we have a source for braided rawhide, saddles, and other working gear. Nothing fancy but it's good quality.

[@andyisok1320]

Who's singing the song

[@heatherhartman9725]

Dave Stamey... buckaroo man

[@Msmora76]

Nice video !! some how you seem to remind me of David Archer !! the things you say!! thkx

[@romanmendez2384]

great video "senor " and gacias

[@msgr9499]

So what is the purpose of spurs then, if you're truly concerned about the health and happiness of your horse? I realize it's an old, accepted practice. But things change, and if I'm not mistaken, so have you Pat. I bet you used to be much harsher on your horse's? I just don't understand why in the world those spurs are neccessary. Its shown by many that you can control your horse with 'soft hands'. And without a bit.... I appreciate your awareness very much as I'm not so sure that most ranchers would agree. Surely is nice though, I appreciate people's awareness about the treatment of these gorgeous animals. Speaking of...I am assuming you support the BLM? Beings you have a cattle ranch. Maybe you can answer a question honestly...I have respect for you and watch your channel so this is in no way a belligerent provocation. So. You make a living with cattle and you need grazing land. Why is it more important that cattle get the grazing? You probably have zilch to do with it as you're in Cali but does it seem right and proper that the iconic western Mustangs are killed off in meat factories?? And the torture they go through from the point of roundup to being carelessly slaughtered, do you realize? Ranchers have a lot of clout and they have destroyed the whole of the Mustang, all due to more grazing, more cattle, more money. It's such a great and terrible tragedy. A real epitome of our 1st world 'problems'. May I ask your thoughts on this?
