Yahateeh friend. Navajo watching your videos all the time. Love it. Coming from a sheep herding, horse breaking Navajo family. Ahehee for your videos

[@erikamarczak8470]

I love that you care about the Dine' (Navajo) people's access to water. I also love your take on country music, I could not agree with you more on that topic.

[@Paul11B2P]

When George Strait quits the world is over… hahaha. I 100 💯 percent agree!!! 🎉

[@mickeyfried9821]

You look good. Glad you're feeling better!!! Thanks for the humor and the great info. You're a great teacher in addition to being a great rancher. 🤠

[@denaross]

Very interesting - thanks!

[@seguridadevertson1585]

Nice to see well , take care Mr Patt , gretings from Venezuela

[@vicki1141]

"Hank , Hank , Hank and Hank " has to be the best laugh of the week. So glad to see your fully healed. Or is that 'heeled' ? GREAT analogy of reata's and real country music. I hope we never lose George Strait . IAN Tyson is 🇨🇦 Canada's country music legend. I always thought Pat and Ian could have quite a conversation . SNOW here in Tatamagouche NS. Much nicer where you are

And that is why I have and use a Pat Puckett Reata! haha I will never forget pulling up to train with Pat Puckett and the first thing he says is," You got a rope?" I said I have this and he said" "What you going to do with that? Pull a car out of the mud? LOL! Well after learning from Pat for awhile and him making me go Pro I bought my first Reata At a competition! I showed Pat and he said " what are you going to do with that? Pull a car out of the mud"! LOL! I have never bought another Reata except from Pat and Deb!!! I now know, I have learned my lesson!!! I love you two!!!

OK, he was already one of my favorites, but when he mentioned the country music bit, he’s officially my favorite on the Internet. 😂

[@WesternWandererJM]

I saw Pard and we talked in Parkview. Good Guy. The name, Owyhee, comes from early fur trappers. In 1819, three natives from Hawaii, part of Donald McKenzie’s fur-trapping expedition, were sent to trap a large stream that emptied into the Snake River. When they did not return, McKenzie investigated and found one man murdered in camp and no sign of the others. The stream was named in their honor. “Owyhee” is an early spelling for the word Hawaii.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Thank you for the clarification! Great story…

[@tomhinkle2517]

@@PatnDebPuckett yep John is right having grown up in owyhee the other thing that makes them similar is lots of lava rock.

[@pwtiii]

Cook’s name for Hawaii was the Sandwich islands. I believe I heard a story about Paniolos who were hired to come to that area to work cattle or train some locals to work cattle. The name you used is a bastardized version of “Hawai’i.”

[@ralphcrosby9622]

I could never justify the cost of a raita. Not that I didn’t want one. I did like a long braided rope with a rawhide or Metal Honda. I would buy from Kings of Wyoming. Thank you for the lessons

[@tinoyb9294]

Good reata info. I was watching a video about western bits and how the different mouthpieces worked for different horses. I was wondering if you like Chinaco's breed because it has a better headset for a western bit? Also, can you predict what style of western bit will work best for him at this point?

[@tedsmith4353]

No BULLSHIT. Just how I am. love it

[@jamesyoung3556]

The Hawaiian people came over on Hudson Bay ships to trap in that area.

[@travisstowell7800]

I love this guy. 😂.

[@Uainebmd]

I'm not far from Ellensburg, would love to come up when you're in Washington.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

The closest we get to Washington is our annual gathering in Medford Oregon. We've gone up there in June in the past but might do it in the fall of 2024. Just depends on the haying season in Medford...

[@Uainebmd]

@@PatnDebPuckett sounds great. I'll watch for it!

[@albertarancher595]

hey pat so if you were to have a reata from mexico with the braided in hondo could you replace the hondo with an american style rawhide hondo

[@beaustorey2906]

Where could I get a good reata? I’ve been looking for a while

[@kevinhedgepeth3055]

Owyhee and Hawaii are the same thing. When Cook sailed to the Hawaiian Islands he called them the Sandwich Islands and called the natives who lived there "Owyhees." greetings from Hermiston, OR

[@BernhardEhm]

almost ...

[@BernhardEhm]

Owyhee, or Owhyhee is an older form of the name Hawai´i, and the first Expeditions, to scout and map the Area included Hawaiians

[@TightwadTodd]

I think you stumped me, on the trivia question this time. I dont even know what the Sandwich Islands are, i dont think...

[@TightwadTodd]

And this is Tightwad Todd. I have absolutely no idea, why it is under this handle.

[@michaelhiett6683]

What type, diameter, lay of rope (cotton, grass, poly, nylon, etc.) mimics a rawhide reata the best?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

A 5/16 three strand poly.

[@SGTrainingStable]

Is there any place in Southern California that sells reatas, mecates, and bosales?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

If you’re looking for a physical shop, none that I know of.

[@hodorjames7331]

Selling any newly made reata

[@AronStepp]

Is the answer deer

[@user-ue1wx6dy1d]

Does a good reata need a core?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

No. Ours don't have cores.

[@vaquero7072]

I think I heard trappers brought Hawaiians with them because they were good boat hands and a few of them got lost or died while exploring the owahee river so they named it in honor of them .

[@BernhardEhm]

and Owyhee, or Owhyhee is an older form of the name Hawai´i

I got one ☝️

[@timmartin4734]

Can I buy 1 from you please Pat?

Email us for a timeframe of when we might have one ready: [e-mail]

[@l.d.b.r5141]

These you would never Switch the Honda around?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

I think you're asking if we would switch ends on a reata? We never have but don't see a reason why it wouldn't be possible.
