Schooling Chinaco

[@KingsMom831]

I love listening to this man speak..... literally but also silently. Just observing the way he communicates with horses, without any audible language or sound. Deb, you’re absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful view/landscape! Thank you both for helping spread knowledge and awareness. I find the stories your toe to be much more interesting than sitting in a classroom, reading out of a history book.🙏🏼

[@epona9166]

Love when Pat rides along with his arm over Chinaco's neck. Reassuring him he's doing good. Such a nice horse.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Thank you for noticing that part of the video...

[@johnmccaughan4195]

Hey Miss Deb, great to see that beautiful smile coming up the river. Thanks for taking us along on this jaunt.

[@KingsMom831]

Isn’t she just absolutely gorgeous! Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more radiant smile?😊

[@clayoreilly4553]

Great video, Pat & Deb. Everybody is learning. I like that. You are absolutely correct about the water situation out here on the Navajo Reservation and, I am certain, on almost any reservation in this country. It is not acceptable that anyone should be without running water, electricity, or access to proper sewage in this day and age in the "wealthiest nation in the history of the world". We need to share the wealth a little better, folks. Thanks for pointing this out - again - Pat.

[@jds4492]

Mr. Pat has turned Shoshone into a solid horse and Chinaco looks like he's coming right along! Love y'alls videos.

[@nebbindog6126]

After the news of the day, I really needed the soothing vistas ,beauty of the horses, wonderful filming (love the mule ears!) and music. Thanks for history reminder of code talkers. Thanks so much from the NE shore of Lake MI.

[@tiffanyjensen6170]

Beautiful country, beautiful mule. Horse hesitant to walk in water.....definately not a Florida problem! Enjoyed the video n music!

[@dellefairclough5309]

Thanks for taking us along:) It was fun!

[@valbeech7509]

Thanks Pat and Deb very much for another brilliant video. So good to see both horses' growing confidence. Excellent and informative, 10 out of 10.

[@Lynn-vt4id]

Thank you so much for bring us along on your ride. It was just beautiful! Happy you brought Dave S with us also, he's the best. Glad I had AC installed on my mount!! haha

[@rickydavidson5050]

I love how you used the get down rope on chinaco and turned it into a towrope. Thank you deb for the video. Pat you make everything look so cool.

[@redtoyodriver]

Cool landscape, cool horses, cool man! greetings from Germany

[@mayermanfred]

Hi Pat & Deb, I like your ways of schooling, as well as your attitude toward the horses you are working with. I'm working with my 7 year old QH gelding. We (both) :-) learned already a lot from your excellent videos. I'm looking forward to seeing your latest videos every week. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! In combination with my riding lessons, given by an experienced & successful QH - Trainer, your additional input goes very well. kind regards Manfred, Germany

[@noninoni9962]

Yoy can take all the lessons, buy all the expensive "horsemanship" videos, but there's nothin' like good ole experience... and maybe an apprenticeship under Pat's wise eyes.

[@jessielloyd2072]

So much enjoyment watching this video on a cold Wisconsin winter night. Was just out cutting logs for side passing in 10” of snow. Only got about 15 degrees today. What a different scene this is. I think I have to come ride some place like this one day.

[@kenboltz6310]

I can hear Shosone’s cricket in the video, pretty cool

[@richardcameron3681]

Such great lessons & beautiful views thank you Chandler Az

[@lisabaker9036]

I've never cared much for the desert, but where you recorded this is realy picturesque! The song is also very fitting. Enjoyed this video very much. Didn't catch where this is. Looks like Reno.

[@kidstuff44555]

I'm from Melbourne Victoria and laughed at Ned Kelly :D

[@garymclaren7185]

Different world we are living this year you guys are on fire . Arizona is 116°f today and we are +6 tonite

[@garyj2101]

Well that was a good job Pat I enjoyed the video!🇺🇸👍🤠

[@annawoxlin6533]

Thank you for sharing another great video!. Love from Anna in Sweden.

[@kentsaeger8403]

Enjoyed. Your video that looks like some awsome country to ride in. Thanks from Minnesota land of 10000 lakes

[@kengamble8595]

Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍

[@noninoni9962]

This is how it's done... Nice.

[@gillyflower1000]

love the videos. You would hate it here in the UK. We do not have the country to ride in that you do. I have to fight with traffic. I recently read about the Navajo code talkers. I am not sure that this has been made widely known. We owe them much x

[@woogaboogawiththegreenteet8436]

you are a gem sir,thank you 4 sharing

[@johndoe-sz2lv]

Wow what a view

[@stevemccoy8138]

Hello Folks, Glad to see you guys are having a good day, gonna be a nother Hot one today.👋 From Paso.

[@bryanhauschild4376]

Yay, Dave Ramsey!

[@we7438]

If I'm not mistaken, Chinaco looked like he realized he was working. He started taking it serious and was fully aware of what's going on. Then he settled into it and just felt like he was doing what he was supposed to be doing. Blessings.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Thank you so much for noticing that.

[@sheripietro8388]

You're a great team. Thanks for all you do Deb.

[@liamrooney5133]

That little mule must be really smooth gaited to let you get such steady footage!

[@PatnDebPuckett]

She is! And she’s got a walk that is almost as fast as Shoshone. Which is why I often choose to ride her when I know I’ll be shooting a video...

[@karenwilson6961]

Pat, Shoshone aka " Snakes on the Ground" looks great. It certainly looked hot. I swear last evening I had horse flies the size of half dollars landing on the fly spray!!! Horrible here in Pa. Thanks for the video. Deb you looked great! You both look so happy! So nice.

[@peggytierney4527]

Love, love, love this video! Love all your training (out lasting)and great stories! You two are the best people!

[@rrrrrr-ry3cn]

Chinaco is an example to the phrase slow and steady wins the race, that horse realy learnt how to learn, and he is respinding to each new task quiker. Hi from Haifa Isreal

[@thomasalicea8877]

Yall are the best

[@leanneobrien4235]

Thank you for thinking of Australia x

[@randysmith5802]

Gorgeous, clearly shot video, sure enjoyed it!

[@KarenInCalif]

Nice country.

[@kibhr]

Hi Pat and Deb, greetings from Wyoming! I am assuming the two bells on your mule are for Riding and Packing? Thanks again for all the great content you provide!

[@georgepengelly2434]

Iove those big ears Deb.

[@ladysmithrnmert9196]

wish I had some open country

[@vaquero7072]

Thank you guys . Great video like always.

[@BCAgility4KM]

Where are you in this video ? Sure looks like my part of the country..

[@jenempete]

Saw the Shoshone update on his progress to this bit. What is the bit? You said curb but obviously has a cricket and looks like leather curb strap so guessing not leverage. Great respect for the Code Talkers. If there are ways you know we can help the Navajo any info would be appreciated. Very cool to bring attention to that important piece of history.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

All western bits with the exception of Spade bits used properly are leverage bits. The bit that Shoshone is riding in is a half breed. All of the bits we use have crickets. I think there’s a water project that helps to bring water systems to individual families not he Navajo Reservation. While it doesn’t solve the big problems of water rights, it does bring immediate relief and more efficient water storage systems. It’s organized through Dig Deep: www.navajowaterproject.org/. Thank you for any help you can render!

[@jamietownsend3677]

Shoshone’s not worried about those ropes anymore. He’s a good boy.

[@Cecilyeg]

Why was the tow rope looped over the back of the saddle not the front? I love learning from you!

[@PatnDebPuckett]

It allows the log to go from left eye to right eye. If it was hooked on the front, it would only be in one eye.

[@Cecilyeg]

@@PatnDebPuckett I knew you had a good reason!! Thank you!

[@Upunda]

105 degrees, I’m roasting in Montana at 92 degrees 🥵

[@stephenfloyd9888]

Thank you for sharing. I know you have talked alot about bits, but if you do not mind at some point would you share your knowledge on using a halfbreed vs. other spade bit on making bridle horses. Thank you

[@PatnDebPuckett]

We have a dvd available on our website that goes into detail called The Art of the Bridle Horse...www.thedisciplinedride.com/store .

[@leighannlivingston1271]

Its nice to see how Chinaco is coming along! Love to see Pat riding alongside Chinaco with his hand on his neck like an old friend. I am excited about your veranda project using the staves. How far did you have to pull it?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Less than a mile.

[@kellymarshall134]

Just curious why Pat put the drag rope on the back of the saw buck instead of the front? 99' F here in the Desert of Alberta. Thanks

[@PatnDebPuckett]

It’s about geometry. Has it always been that hot up there at this time of year?

[@kellymarshall134]

Pat & Deb Puckett It gets hot here in the summer. Hit 42'C thats 107'F last year. The rains came this spring but quit. Going on 4 years of no rain now. The prairie is drying up fast. Thanks for the videos.

[@lindatruitt7858]

What’s the saddle on Chinaco called?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

It’s a sawbuck. The name was derived from when they used to pack firewood.

[@CSSLivestockandDogs]

You know how to tie a Joslin hitch?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Never heard of it.

[@troybarbare9191]

What kind of cattle y’all running out there in that dry country?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Our old boss used to run Corriente and Corriente cross cows and Angus bulls.

[@fallbrkgrl]

Morning 🌞 Deb, I was wondering why you choose to ride a mule? I have nothing against them, I just like to hear why folks prefer them. I myself, am in love with donkeys. There's just something about them that has a hold of my heart. Thank you for taking us along for the ride! ❤️🌵🐎⛈️🌈☮️

[@PatnDebPuckett]

I often choose to ride Chula when I know I’ll be shooting a video because she’s incredibly smooth. I also choose her when I’m heading for steep country or just feel like taking a day off.

[@fallbrkgrl]

@@PatnDebPuckett Thank you! I think mules are beautiful (like donkeys, love those ears) and have followed a couple of folks who train them for riding and pack. 😀❤️❤️❤️🐎
