Spade Bit Demonstration with Chinaco

[@edithweigel6367]

I am so glad to see this wisdom being preserved !

[@christmasmoore6880]

It's riveting to see Chinaco in action - all that power, intelligence and intuition. Loved this video, beginning to end. You're treasures, and great teachers.

The absolute most fun in the cattle industry no question is sorting pairs and loading trucks on a horse that you have trained watching pat over the last 6 years. Not many more things more satisfying in the horse world 😊

Nice job Pat! I heard a Bridleman once say "this tradition cannot be learned from a book or a video, it is something that is passed down" keep up the good work.

[@valeriehudson7276]

As always, you show me where I want to go with my horse. I love being able to know where to go & work at getting closer to my goal. I love the History and finesse of it all. Please keep doing any & all videos. Eternally Grateful

[@megweaver6158]

Oh my gosh, that was wonderful! To absorb all the information you have imparted here I would have to watch this many, many times. Excellent video!

I use a spade bit on my 8 YO gelding criollo. I have strated him at 3YO. We went through the snaffle, the bosal and two reins process. He side passes well on a bosal one handed. He stops well on a expiry. Now I’m in the spade straight. But I still wonder - is my horse a real bridle horse ? Don’t want to be ahead of him but don’t want to be behind neither. Hard to know. Sometimes I just think : well don’t worry about it … Your demo reminded me good souvenirs. Too bad you had not brought Chinaco with you! Be well amigo - adios

Thank you Pat & Deb once again for the great content! I have a deep passion for horsemanship and this is so exciting to learn about! It really motivates me to not only learn more, but to hopefully one day achieve this level of riding. I was well on my way when I got hurt in 08 (not by a horse) Right now, I need a wheelchair or a cane but I'm fighting to get back in the saddle again! I'm deeply inspired and have such great respect for your accomplishments and love your stories! I look forward to your posts. They keep me going and dreaming! I'd love to have a Chinaco colt or filly one day! Sending much love and prayer your way! Sheri

Fantastic video. Thank you.

[@adrianheinen4705]

its different: schooling the horse in the spade. cant wait to see your canter pirouette. have mule here I want to be able to do the same on.

[@sirronmitt]

Another great video, explanation, and demonstration. I wish more instructors would teach beginning students two work from their seat. I especially like the part about the B westerns and jerking the horse by the head. I have taken a number of clips from movies to demonstrate how not to get a horse to turn. Your demonstration was superb. It give us all a destination to try and ride to.

Phenomenal work

Great video once again and chnaco is really looking great

thank you for the video

Pat is exactly right that the show world of cutting has nothing to do with ranching

[@kevinbailey1097]

This is a great video of the spade and the function. As myself and the horse have progressed. I feel the difference. When I pick up the romal rein I feel the hind work and push forward. And the front end is lighter. Still not perfect. But getting a little better every ride. Also yes I ran a loose curb strap two fingers. Till Pat in one of the videos or maybe that clinic Reed put on. About one finger space. It truly makes a difference. Made a difference for me. But I am curious about the metal connectors. My bridle is leather on the ends with Chicago screws. And a silver mounted nice bridle. So I am curious about maybe thinking about a bridle with the metal connectors. Cause it makes sense. Less resistance and moves quicker. Next question would be about the reins. I have 42 inch romal reins. I had Jed Rice make me some short chains that work really well. But I can’t stand the rawhide connector between the rein and the romal. It’s just it doesn’t work well. So I’d like to know how to make or find a good palm concho set up. Cause that garbage that comes with a set of romal reins looks like a bracelet a 12 year old girl would wear. And it doesn’t flow and move right. It makes everything to rigid.

[@PatnDebPuckett]

The Romal reins that Pat uses are 28 inches long so if yours are 42 inches long, the palm concho will not be a palm concho. It would just be a concho. In any case, we don’t have a good source for palm conchos at this time…

[@kevinbailey1097]

@@PatnDebPuckett I know he uses 28 inchers. I think we talked about that when I met him at that place Reed was training out of. Yes they are 42 but the chains are short maybe five inches. And short rein chain connectors. Which makes the right length for us pretty much in any hand position. I’m just trying to get rid of the connector between the reins and the romal. To something that just works better especially when working gates, riding and moving the romal to the left out of my way if I’m roping. Cause the rawhide connector is terrible it doesn’t move, binds the romal doesn’t move as freely as I’d like. Guess I’ll just have to figure out how to make something myself. Thanks
