Tuning Up a Lazy Horse For Spring

[@dhwardani]

Your mental library of pure wisdom is so astounding. I find myself comparing all the things you say about horses to even my own life on controlling attitude and getting things done. Thank you!!!

[@MWBOOKS]

Unintentionally, the greatest philosopher of our time

[@vrgo2779]

Well stated. Hard fella not to like!

[@waylonk2453]

I'm amazed how clearly Mouse took his energy down when you changed your posture and speech

[@barblane4020]

🥕🥕Are you still doing videos? I love your cowboy/horse/life words of wisdom. I’m a 73 yr young horse woman. I still ride about 3 times a week. Where life leads you…. You’ve inspired so many of us! Your messages and stories resonates with those of us that want to improve and continue to learn. Keep teaching and thank you for sharing! 🐎

[@Chris-zj3gl]

Wow! I mean in the fullest meaning of the word, WOW! Mr dwayne you really do understand the psychology of those horses..Understanding their psychology, you begin to trim their energy...Dang..And not only are you trimming their energy but ,your doing it with surgical precision..🎉My mind is blown!!🎉 Thanks for the content Mr Dwayne..Over and out. Peace

I dont know crap about horses, haven't rode one in 30 years. But I do know about good 'ol boy wisdom and cigars, and that's what brings me to this channel on every video.

[@bramgroothedde]

Wow! I did not know you can have such a deep connection with a horse!

[@perryseltz8010]

Thanks for posting this. Most of the videos I've watched on groundwork or basic neck reining were done with young, relatively green, horses. It's nice to see these tools used with an older horse that needs a refresher course, which is what my horses need in the spring after a winter off.

[@PurosandMusicPodcast]

My friend owns horses, I don't but I love horses and your videos are great! I also enjoy cigars. Glad I found your channel.

[@danielbuxton4493]

What a stunning vista behind you, DeWayne. I'd love to see you take a ride out with him, and take in some of that glorious scenery!

[@bazuso___]

Mouse looks like a very handsome horse. Thanks for another great watch!

[@Dallas_Dodge]

Love your videos especially the ones about life advice and stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@drgnner6028]

I enjoyed every minute...especially since you made your wife giggle with your "Grasshopper" analogy. :-D

[@Picosacreek]

I've never considered trimming my horses muzzle or ears. Most I do is brush him down as he sheds. Good video, keep up the great work.

[@1966scoutcheif]

I don't know anything about horses but I can learn from this experience in the people world and I love your voice ❤FINS UP ❤

[@toscar22link10]

Mouse is "Quiet quitting" from work...think we can all relate to that

[@BentoBoxOfDoom]

Your videos are like therapy for me. Anytime you put up a new video, I get so excited. Thank you for being you.

[@LaLaLucky7777]

Hello from the Pennsylvania mountains! Yahoo

[@Chai39739]

I love the finesse with which he rides a horse, and not just any horse, but an old geezer, as if he were a brand new and young horse. I've been in love with westerns since I was a kid and have never in my life seen anyone have a stable with horses and cows and everything. I'm also impressed by the view of the dry desert beyond, thanks @Dry Creek Wranger School, you're the grandpa I never had ...Much love from Greece.

[@S3V3ND3TTA]

I loved the little tip added about grooming in the beginning. I also used to trim their whiskers but with a new perspective, I won't anymore. Makes sense! Same with the ears. Sometimes I'd shave my gelding's for the hell of it without thinkin about its purpose. Thanks for the reminder, friend.

[@mosspiglet_]

Perfect way to show the right mindset when working horses. I love that you focus on getting the mind primed as the most important thing over just running your horse like a lot of people do.

[@albatraozgirl]

I've always folded the ear closed and just cut what sticks out from the edge of the ear to clean it up a little. They definitely need their ear hair.

[@cynthiahowden4165]

Thankyou

[@nick662bcr]

Wanted to pop in and commend you and Juniper Mountain Trading Post. I ordered some whole bean wrangler roast. Its delicious coffee, and they even sent a free bag of another coffee along with it. Obviously some great folks over there and a great choice for your partnership

[@More_Row]

I need some of that stuff

[@nick662bcr]

@@More_Row definitely a good dark roast.

[@jameswyatt2662]

hey brother i really needed this teaching video thank you so much...timely....great job on the filming sista mama ...love and appreciate you both....,blessings

[@Singularity-v5q]

Thats a good horsey he likes his cowboy 🤠

[@guildbass1234]

Thanks for doing the horse videos again

[@karenrouth2056]

Really enjoyed this Dewayne, in fact, both videos today! Deanna, you get better and better with videoing! Very well done again! Have a happy week x

[@finnrasmussen8153]

Hi a testimonie in 2004 a started to use glasses to se and my left eye was very bad and i had to set of glasses, yesterday i ahve delivered my glasses back they where leased, i have prayed over my eyes and made confessions over my eyes but also forced my eyes to read smaller letters, and they are much better so i give glory to God the Father in Jesus name, who is the healer acording to scripture after what Jesus said, Amen.

[@kevinmelendez5339]

Mr Dwayne and Momma, Gracias for this kind of content, i can tell now i know what im looking for to master when i graduate from Veterinary Medicine. Im from Central America and is atypical to see a vet who's into horses i know a few. I know they're very delicate to treat them from medicine perspective. Its a long run goal to pay you a visit and maybe your student. I like this kind of content it makes me wonder how many things im able to learn from a lot of people.

[@Jerry-td8yn]

You are the Bob Ross of the West.

[@vicki1141]

Great comparison. Made me giggle.

[@mukateko4535]

thank yuo. what a great lesson in horsemanship.

[@hugosmits9720]

Well, let me tell you that I am not realy a horse person, but one of my daughters is a major horse girl, she is for years now! And I do can say that horses are one of the most smart animals on our planet...next to cats and dolphins. I am not joking about this. But by watching also Dwayne's horse video's you even can get some important life lessons as well.

[@mariusrusu8261]

Super handsome from Romania, I greet you with respect Marius,🙋🤠🇹🇩🐎

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

I am so very grateful for you. For my senses and I’m able to take in all that you share sir Thank you GOD thank you angels

[@MGH86]

Thank you for your inspiration and knowledgeable insights into everything.

[@frbdnknwlge]

❤❤❤❤❤ I have a hard time turning left as well LO.L

[@j-rod4217]

Fantastic video! Love this!

[@craigtittsworth9440]

Another Great instruction video!

[@tyrellthiel2201]

I am gonna sign up for the school for next year.

[@ervinwengerd4730]

I totally agree about not trimming the whiskers,,,my dad told me when I was a young teenager,,,,he said, don't ever trim them whiskers because they are like the tips of your fingers.. great video,,, I love watching them but I don't get to watch all of them due to being busy with 15 children and a wood working shop .

[@RICH_MINDZ25]

Wow....this is so spiritual. Our relationship with Jesus. We get lazy and burdened when he is preparing us as we war. We have to remember our responsibility and purpose. We stop being sensitive to the spirit because we are in our flesh consumed with life and not true life, so he has to remind us who is in charge or we get the swat, chastised with the rod of man because we refuse to listen. I AM CONVICTED! WOW❤

[@dylangallacher4813]

Great video!

[@lightinggame09]

Hey Dewayne, I’ve been watching all your videos for about a year and you have taught me a ton about horsemanship. I really appreciate all you do and how you articulate things. I was wondering if you could make a video about riding with a bosal / hackamore. I am trying to get lighter with my signals but I feel like I need to add more pressure than a bridal and bit. Thank you and I hope you have a blessed day

[@TheOkeanaSkies]

Thanks for the vid, my wifes Paint is so stubborn and although we're making progress, I just need to put more pressure and demand. Trying to be too kind to the horse I think

[@Elaine-k6q]

Goodman morning 🌄.

[@PersonalTriumph2022]

Dwayne nothing beats experience. When my horse gets ‘stupid’ about it (he is a big OTTB) it sure intimidates me, but I don’t have your extensive experience.

[@twsnow1891]

Love it, thanks for the follow up to the first one. Do 1 or 2 more if you can! Would love to see the difference out on the trail after a couple weeks of these reminders for him.

[@arcana5335]

Hopefully this also works for tuning up a lazy human for the spring. I've been a bit of a loafer this winter.

[@Trassel242]

I think it kind of makes sense to be lazy during winter. I think I’m part bear, honestly, the way winter makes me feel like just sleeping until the sunshine returns and there’s green on the trees again. He’s a beautiful horse, I love working horses and they do a great job. I didn’t know horses had “whiskers” like dogs and cats! Your horse grooming is sensible and kind to the animal, I figure that if nature wanted horses to have no hair in their ears, they’d not be able to grow any. I think that the same thing applies to people. You’ve got to tell people that they’re doing something well, that they’re making a difference, that they’re doing good and that you appreciate what they do. That way, they’ll follow your orders when given and be able to give you orders and feedback and so on in return.

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

[@toenails671]

Being swatted usually lands me in jail 🤣

[@DesertAdventuresinArizona]

😂Very Interesting = Thank you.

[@carriepeterson2112]

👍😊

[@AlleyCat-1]

Is a snaffle bit just for training or can it be used for most job's (besides trail riding type)? 🤔

[@DryCreekWranglerSchool]

A snaffle a bit, when used properly can be used for any job, including trail riding.

[@TheCosmicGuy0111]

Nice!

[@10rcoleman]

He seems more responsive when you lead him to the left

[@WiscoMike]

Just a question, since many may have more than one horse. Would you recommend rotating the horse you're riding daily/weekly to prevent the laziness/brain getting turned off from the monotonous repetition or no reinforcement from less experienced riders that don't command the same attention or response as you might?

[@frsknsld]

like a cats whiskers

[@jonathanenck3814]

Gotta say, somewhere in your life you really did pick up patience. I'd love to learn to ride from you, knowing you'd have as much patience with a rider who's trying to figure it out too.

[@davidellis4416]

Everything you said an did with your horse is correct 100%

[@ВиталийСлонов-ч4ъ]

Curious is Tank ever came around, Dwayne

[@DryCreekWranglerSchool]

I have not received a report on Tank in quite a while but the last couple times I talked to them they told me he had come around and was doing very very well.

[@MAKECANADAGREATAGAIN205]

[@jaystewart9947]

Dwayne the master and Mouse the grasshopper. 😅

[@SL3DApps]

Is it poetic justice that horses were replaced by machines due to free will and laziness, and now humans are being replaced by AI because of the same damn reason?

[@murderousplaguedoctor2916]

You think it was just free will and laziness, not also the fact that it is a faster means of transportation

[@TommyOG420]

Is there anything significant to a horses tail position in regards to horse language?

[@mikepoindexter3472]

my horse is 28years old what do you do with the remains when they pass away? She was born on our place

[@Jules-fh4rf]

If you have the land, that's what backhoes are for.

[@balben71]

Hey Duane are you spurring him

[@toenails671]

I'm a old horse with no pasture

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

Its a different circumstance, but...schoolmasters (horses) at the Spanish Riding School are used to give lunging lessons daily to new riding students. But, these same horses are also ridden regularly by riding instructors to tune them up and keep them responsive. Just saying...

[@jdougn2255]

Do you suppose Mouse realizes he's in for remedial training? lol

[@bobogilvie4472]

Kind of like some of our youth today.

[@btctrader2280]

What is your horse length?

[@brianandglendaharkin9457]

👍🏻🇦🇺

[@AlphaWolfun]

Useful analogies for problematic scenarios. Lessons of respect we should have learned.

[@rbama3536]

why do you bump with your legs the entire time he is walking?

[@DryCreekWranglerSchool]

In some circles, it’s called peddling. When a horse is very lazy, you keep providing energy with your legs to keep him going at the pace you want. This is my most dependable, gentle horse, and he mostly carries students. They don’t make him go and so he shuffles along as lazy as he can get away with.

the volume on your microphone is not constant we miss half the conversation

[@ladyhawk6999]

I most always do a short longe before I get on , even if it's a couple times both ways, I see what mood the horse is in , if there is a tack issue or anything else. because you never know. It only takes an extra minute. I do that at home and when I am out with a group . Had my friend done that she wouldn't have busted her leg . She saddled her 15 year old dead broke gelding , and just got on , something wasn't right and he went down and crushed her leg against the trailer . She is a avid horseman ranch woman who uses her horses as well as trail rides too but got sloppy. Now I get teased for doing that light longe but I don't care ,I have no issues. I see others all the time just getting on a dancing fresh horse and even putting green people on them , many times those folks are on the ground . We all can't stay twenty one and dumb forever! I just don't think it's a timed event and I would rather all involved have a good experience.
