Rehab: Getting a Horse Past a Wreck

In this video, Pat takes some time to work with Cinder, the horse that blew up and bucked him off in Montana. The wreck ensued when a colt that Pat had roped in a round pen ran up underneath Cinder from behind. Cinder kicked out, wrapping the rope around his hind legs. The colt sucked back while Cinder was going forward. When the rope came tight, Cinder blew up, breaking his front cinch billet. You know the rest of the story. Cinder has always been an extremely level headed, gentle horse. So much so that he's Deb's main ride. On this day, Pat used a soft cotton rope with no loop in it to throw all around Cinder's legs. This process is as much for our own peace of mind as it is for the horse. We'll always have the wreck in the back of our minds whenever we rope off of Cinder and we'll do what it takes to keep him out of trouble. The more good experiences and good rides we can put between the wreck and the present day, the better. And as usual, there is a story or two thrown in for good measure. One of the subjects of the day is the origin of horses in the Americas with regard to the Vikings. For more information, visit our website, www.thediscipli... .

You really are harder than barbwire. Brings tears to my eyes to see you allready at work. I tip my hat at you.

[@nohillforahighstepper]

I asked my grandpa why the work horses wore blinders. He said it was to keep them from running off when some "damn fool did something stupid behind them"....lol. Grandpa always told it like he saw it. We did lots of stuff with a team. Spread manure, picked up bales, mowing, raking. In the old days, they would pull some fairly large equipment with large teams. I imagine the thought behind the blinders was to keep the horse's mind on what was in front of them and not what was chasing them from behind. Also, if you had a horse that was acting up, there was a smaller chance that the other would act up as well because they couldn't see each other.

[@jessm7754]

I think Pat should write a history book about everything he’s ever found interesting while researching!

[@yaboycoconuthead7012]

Tougher than a 2 dollar steak! I hope your recovery goes well Pat🙏🏽 Keep pushing!

So glad you are recovering from your accident. I appreciate your training videos and your history lessons about the Old West.

[@johnmichael7425]

How was your day

[@murphyshsu]

Love this video! Hope you continue to heal and feel better! I had an accident on a gentle, seasoned, well trained, good minded horse a few years ago. It was morning and we just wrapped up a dressage lesson that had gone real well for me and my horse. I had trailer to this location and was extra please with how well my horse had performed. We were cooling down on a loose rein, and out of nowhere my horse bucked, a single buck, so hard that I never came back down in the saddle. I was flung off like a ragdoll and landed on my head. Been riding for decades and had never hit my head ever. Turns out there was a hole in the pipe fencing that surrounded the arena… and inside that hole was a wasp nest that had started to warm up and become active… and we had got too close, since we didn’t know it was there. He had been stung in the butt and wasps were circling us threatening to do it again. It had been a while since I had come off a horse, and was reminded of the raw power of a 1200lb horse who is scared/hurt/confused.

[@Lisa_GalCali]

Wow that had to hurt. We’re you injured much?

[@kidstuff44555]

Yes, it's really important to remember that ANY horse, no matter how broke, old, quiet or well-trained, has the potential to react very fast to something unexpected. And we can never desensitize them to everything. If he feels sudden pain or sudden fear, he will react on instinct because, he is still a horse and that is their nature

[@larrytucker5950]

Blinders on our mules and horses was to reduce distraction. This was told to me by my grandpa in the 1950ts he was born in 1889 Huston Lewis was his name. My name is Larry Tucker I was born in 1942. So this gives you a time frame. We farmed in Surry county North Carolina. We used mostly mules for farming. Had some real good one and one only not so good. He would bite down on his bit (could not hold him) and run for no reason pulling a tobacco sled, strow tobacco for a mile or more. Thanks for letting me rant.

[@mylescahill3963]

Tougher than boot leather, some people are just built different 💪🏼

[@jackkrag]

re: blinders. i heard when i was a kid, because the work horse was kept in pretty close "privacy stalls" that the blinder was used to help keep the feeling of few distraction and calm in the field.

[@loryspencer8215]

Pat, you ARE allowed to take a break, you know...(I get the feeling that isn't in your wiring) Much respect. I love how you make sure the horse is ok, and also love your history lessons...

[@susanwolfson1305]

The last time I came off a horse was 52 years ago at age 16. Same deal, horse blew up, saddle came apart. I was lucky to not suffer a neck injury but my face got re-surfaced by the gravel. At 68 I am very aware of not getting hurt. Due to physical issues, loss of balance and muscle strength, (chronic from Polio) has caused me to loose my confidence in riding and on the ground around my horses. All horses can have a come-a-part. Even the level headed horse can hurt us. I pray you and Cinder and Deb get back to normal soon.

[@tobymay7950]

[@bobroberson9286]

You may want to alert the horse to the fact he's being "desensitized", he seems pretty cool to me 👍

[@jebediahnightlinger6357]

[@lyndonzookhorsemanship8638]

Still praying for you pat. My hero. You've taught me so much. I want to meet you someday. Here in pa there are a lot of Amish. My farrier is a Amish. He trains standardbreds for the track also. He says blinders are primarily safety. They also keep a horse going straight since the only open door is straight ahead. Again, I wish so much I could meet you.

Columbus was looking for a trade route south of the big island Vinland (America) that the Norwegians discovered about 1,000 AD. He already knew it was there as he bought charts from Icelanders and even sailed to Iceland before his voyage to India.

[@btsxanime81]

Impressive. I loved the history lesson. This type of history fascinates me more than the politics behind everything. :) The skills of cowboys can't be matched. Getting beaten down and to get back up again is a triumph in and of itself. Glad the horse was okay too and only left with some scars. :)

[@npdesign8202]

Pat I'm so glad a little thing like a broken neck hasn't stopped you from working horses and talking to all of us- your admirers. Keep getting better and be safe! I have to tell you that your snaffle bit has changed my 13 yr old gelding's life! From the time I got him as a 3 yr old he has been so mouthy. Getting a halter or bridle on him was like tangling with an octopus. He would grab any part of that headstall, slobber straps and reins any way he could to avoid having that regular jointed snaffle in his mouth. I finally realized from watching your videos about switching a horse into your snaffle that he was just so afraid of the pain it caused him. After a few rides with your snaffle he believed that it wasn't going to hurt him anymore so now he will actually open his mouth to receive the bit and he loves that cricket! We will both be forever grateful to you for your bit and all the great videos you share! Oh and I'm from Iowa- where they say there are more pigs than people! Take care!

[@arthurekman8281]

If I recalle Teddy Blue Abbott worked for the f4f. His book was They Pointed Them North. The f4f was in Montana in the 1880's

[@johnlmoore7745]

Abbott guided the trail herd north when the FUF first came to Montana. They were the Green Mountain Cattle Company out of Vermont and Abbott didn't think too much of them. After a few years they sold out and the new owners went to light artillery warhorses. They ran 15,000 head on 1,000,000 acres of open range south of Forsyth, MT from 1890 to 1910.

[@ralphcrosby9622]

I spent a year including a winter on a ranch in Garfield county, North of Jordan a bit. At that time there was a small band of mares and a stallion roaming free. I believe they were from farrow stock. It would seem either direction Montana to Oregon or Oregon to Montana might be hard on horses. Hard telling if there is much to the story of them coming there from Oregon. What outfit has the most Horses in todays world? I have used blinders on draft horses. Mostly because they were broke to them and had a bridal set up for them. I was always to understand that was to keep their “minds in the middle”. Keep them from wandering left to right, nipping each other, or to worry what grizzly bear was behind them.

[@fergiepingo5548]

In my experience (25 years driving mostly fjords in BC Canada) it is about safety. The blinders help the horse trust the driver more. If the driver isn't worried about that noise going on around them, then there is no reason for them to get upset. I agree with training them in an open headstall. Too many wrecks haved happened in the world when epuipment failure occurs and the horse sees something chasing them ie cart, wagon etc. Also, do you know about comfrey root? The native Americans called it bone-knit. It has cell regerating properties. If you harvest the root and grate it up, you can slop that goop right over top of broken bones and it will stay in place, stay cool, and transfer it's goodness to the area of injury. Because it stays moist, it helps to keep the area cool. Often broken bones feel hot and inflammed. Heal and be well. And thank you for the information you share. You've helped me to BREATH.

From a French KZbinr " Oleg de Normandie" I gather that Vikings were all over the place in the Americas : North, South and Central America. He bases his assumptions on the finding of Runes " Viking alphabet" namely on Mayan and many other native Amerindien monuments as well as many other folklore traditions. As for the Amble gate : in northern Portugal there has been a tradition of horse riding racing still practiced today on a popular level in wihch only Amble gate horses are allowed. The breed they use is The "Garrano" breed endemique to northern Portugal and bordering "Galicia" region in Spain. I bear witness to this. Some historians say that those horses were among those brought to America by the Conquistadores . Sure hope that helps.

[@dhuber4951]

I will share my ponderings on blinders and blindfolds. There was a time when horses were relied upon to keep society happening. They didn't have lots of time to spend training, the stock need to be prepared enough to put to work and the rest came with time according to the capability of the handler. When a horse is hitched up or packed there is no turning your rope loose. I agree it is for safety, mostly psychological, what you don't know won't hurt you. I think a lot of runaways and wrecks have been prevented simply because less than adequately prepared horses just didn't see what was behind them to be frightened by. Another point I have heard from plowmen is if the horse's vision is restricted to what is in front of them, they are less likely to get distracted and will follow the furlough more accurately. I am interested to hear more on this.

[@elcurandero44]

,,,very interesting point of views on the "wild horses" story.

[@kayshiverick6937]

Pat I am so happy to see you on your feet. Prayer really does work and you are proof. 😃

[@homeedconnect]

I see some people commenting on "desensitizing," but I guess I don't think of it as making him less sensitive. Pat, I see TWO things going on here; can you tell me if this is right or what you'd add? I see, first, a reminder to the horse that ropes aren't scary especially when they're being handled by the human-partner. Secondly, I see a re-connecting to his human and the intentions/expectations of his human. I don't really expect to take a horse's fight or flight instincts away, but I DO work to become a dependable rider-partner with the hope that the horse will heed my guidance when he's worried. Wouldn't mind some correction, if I'm missing something. Be well, Pat.

[@robertpeyton5534]

Hello glad to see you’re doing better. Blinders on horses and mules I logged for 30 years with teams in Wisconsin it’s for safety don’t know if you’ve ever been around Hichi teams you know what I mean. They anticipate pulling a large load and when they see you hook they can take off. Even the sound of the chain hooking to the arch cart . That’s why I always made my teams stand before I hooked them. If they can see you much easier for them to anticipate what you do every time you takeoff. You’re just taking one of their senses away doesn’t mean that they can’t hear you. We are a creature of habit so if they see us do the same thing every time just before they’re told to Pull they’ll catch on before you will . Also helps when you have dogs kids or fools around them acting out behind them . If the horse cannot see it it doesn’t scare them a good draft team learns this if you do your job .

I second the comment on the series on the history of the American horse by Dr. Deb Bennett in Equus magazine.

Interesting information about those horses. Glad to see you getting along better. Continued prayers for a full recovery! By the way, the story I heard was that the Haythorns in Arthur Nebraska got started in a big way with their horses when the great granddad (or whatever ancestor) bought several hundred horses in Oregon and drove them to Nebraska. Maybe he got them from that FUF outfit you mentioned? If you get in touch with Craig Haythorn he may know the details about that.

[@Cecilyeg]

Blinders are for safety but also they help keep the horse's focus forward and not to other things they may see. I agree with you and always start my horses with an open bridle so they are comfortable with what is going on around them in case of an equipment failure such as a bridle coming off. Some horses get moved into blinders sooner than others because they are more comfortable with them than without. I have a lot more about driving on my channel, Greentree Ranch.

[@vaquero7072]

Pat not sure if you’ve ever heard this but I briefly remember hearing about a man named Ewing young who took cattle and horses from around the San Jose mission in california to the willamette valley in Oregon and setup a route I heard a lot of the men with him were vaqueros from the San Jose area and some stayed in Oregon and from there they pushed cattle and horses east to Idaho and montana and brought with them there gear knowledge. If you look at a lot of Charles Russels painting they were buckaroos and vaqueros in montana maybe they traveled that way by Oregon? Just thought I’d throw that out there

[@nadinehulbig5582]

Blinders: as much as I know, have several reasons. You can seperate the whip communication and only touch the lazy or young horse without the other one recognising the correction. Blinders protect the eyes when working in the woods in US, not cool when they poke out an eye and I know some one eyed ones 😉 And yes for safety reasons while driving in teams in traffic. But, my boy was started driving in a rope halter, then a normal bridle without blinders. He goes in front of both single card and slight. When we put him into a team we will use blinders, since he probably don't know the other horse he is paired up with and that avoid distraction and horse interactions you don't need. 😉 In Norway, the native draft horses, called Døl (I'm lucky to own a 4 year old), are normally educated and worked without blinders, even in the woods. The Swedish equivalent, the north Swedish draft horse (Nordsvensk) it's the same, we just put 4 off them together last fall, mixing breeding stallion and mares😅, all without blinders and it went perfectly smooth 😊

[@PatnDebPuckett]

This particular horse is very stoic. You have to tune into some pretty subtle clues to know if he’s having a problem with something. Pat mentioned at the end of the video the fact that he stops rolling the cricket when the rope is on him. That’s a clue. Eventually, he’ll just keep rolling the clinic no matter where the rope is.

[@fallbrkgrl]

Subject of "blinders"... I don't know anything about them, or why they are used, but there is a channel called "working horses with Jim". He does logging, and farming with his draft horses.

Hi Pat: I sure learn a lot watching your videos. It very interesting to here the history of the horse. Question so if the Russians brought horse here from Mongolia is that where the Appaloosa came to be in The Nez Perce tribe?

[@edwarnock9884]

Glad to see yer up and around! Pat the "New World" was discovered and lost many times. There are very old Chinese records describing the exploration of the Alaskan coast, the inland water way of British Columbia, the coast of Washington, Oregon (including the mouth of the Columbia River) California Coast with references to San Francisco and Suisun Bays, Monterey Bay, Morro Rock, all the way down into Mexico and South America. In New Hampshire there is a place called the "American Stonehedge" at which an inscription was found carved in limestone, in Iberian Punic, in was translated to say, "In dedication to Baal of the Canaanite's." Of interest is the similarities between some "Native American languages" and ancient Hebrew/Phoenician. All over the America's are found inscriptions in Hebrew, Phoenician, Egyptian, Greek and Latin. One such rock sits in a park along the Ohio River. Many are thought to be very old. There was an English fella name Jonathan Grey, he was a university-trained anthropologist. He worked on digs all over the world. He wrote a book called "Dead Men's Secrets." He also had several KZbin videos posted. He describes a number of discoveries that have been covered up to promote the idea we all are descended from apes, which he asserts is not even close to a remote possibility. Not surprising that other history that was not popular with academic institutions is ignored. Including that which deals with horses and how they got to the America's after the original horses, camels, and such were wiped out in the last great eruptions of Yellowstone and Long Valley calderas. The Earth is full of such information as would indicate history is far different than we have been led to believe.

[@bdlit7165]

Blinders on horses? Growing up a mennonite, I was always told it was for safety. We normally didn't use them on standard breed, (cart horse), unless they were young, but they also didn't have as much to be concerned about. Drafts, though, like you said, multiple horses pulling larger loads, sometimes stuff flying around behind them. Makes for easy spooking and a real problem when they reck.

[@roberttailspin6330]

All the Mennonites in my area use blinders for all their road horses, (most of which are standardbreds and Dutch harness)

[@normmyers4337]

You can drive a pulling horse without blinders until you can't, trust me,if you do it long enough your gona pay thr fiddler

[@terrywhitenight9188]

There’s a real reason. A pulling horse doesn’t need to see what’s behind him . If he can see his load move it’ll only cause him trouble .
