Appreciate it

Ok thanks for the information and permission to come up with ways to fix my mecante. Mine is broken at the end, horse stepped on the leather popper, stopped the unravelling with some tape. I have asked a couple makers with no positive answers. It seems like such a shame to throw out a nice hair rope. I'm working on an idea to clamp the end of it with a half inch steel hose clamp and cover it with electrical tape. Now I can splice the end!

Very cool

Good information to know! I hope you and the family are well. Good job Producer.

Good morning A very good way to quickly repair a mecathy. I have repaired them by actually weaving them back in To help set the hair in the knot to get it to accept it's new position get it wet and let it dry. This will help set the hair into its self. Like you said most people will just go buy a new one or grab a different one. I actually take old mecathy apart and braid them into a 4 stand hair rein eather a look rein or split rein. I started doing this to give me a foundation to hitch over to create a useable art. Have a good day. Enjoy your tips. From Glenn's Ferry Idaho .

The other day I overheard some lady at Farm & Fleet declare to her little posse that "A proper and well-trained horse doesn't need a bit in his mouth!" and some other comment about "Any half-decent rider shouldn't be using a bit." 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀ ummm...yeah...I can't...like I wouldn't even know how to start to respond to that. I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet she rides in a treeless saddle too

That’s great information thanks for sharing

Your folks must be proud of you two..

Good Mornin Cowboy, and thank you for your knowledge ~ Brenda ~

Of clinicians in general...seems to me the popularity they hold is on them, but also relates to the audience they cultivate...l think there's much more than just one group they give their presentation to...Yes the audience is intetested in horses. Thats a given. But in no way are the audience members in attendance coming from the same place, or of the same mindset. Some folks attending come from the out skirts of the city...Some come from the country. They are not the same. Which group is more supportive? In the end, more than likely that groups needs and mindset will be catered to. Financial uccess says a number of things. Its doesnt necessarily mean those who are successful are well recieved. Pat has been successful. Good for him. Noting : clinton anderson, yhough successful has made some ridiculous observations about how hard he worked and who he had to 'suck up' to old ladies in order to get where he is...Thats how he gives tribute to his base? It isn't ranch background people he defames in his career recollection. BTW...l met him years ago. The plus...he could start a colt. The minus...he catered to small acreage, one or two horse owners from the city out skirts. Ranch folk? Not so much. His attitude? Arrogant P0$ comes to mind...at least in my mind and l paid to sit and watch him preform...lts just an opinion. In general watching from the sidelines and not giving the clinics myself, l draw ftom the presenter, as well as the those around me. Some clinicians have more talent and are easily approachable. Some fall a bit short, but thats also an opinion. The longer you are in it, the more in tune you seem to recognize what works and what's fluff. Watching Pat's video presentation, he kind of reminded me of Tony Robbins...Keep it positive. What Pat said.. " Good, better, best...never let it rest...get your good better, and your better best!" (- George Burns quote) Amen!

'Love these quick tips! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you for speaking the truth. There are criminals and they’re not worth ridding.

I feel like your question could be what makes an acreage a ranch and not a farm? (in addition to a wishlist of equipment). To me a ranch may do some farming, but it is primarily to feed their own stock, and any excess can be sold. A Ranch has enough range or pasture to graze their income producing livestock during the grazing season. You can ranch without horses and dogs, but what's the point, (and fun) in that? A Farm grows forages, grains, legumes, or trees to sell and may feed the excess to their livestock. Pasture or rangeland is not sufficient to support livestock without supplementation during the growing season.

Many people watch for entertainment, others to get confirmation that they are doing the right thing. Few look to get a new insight. The edited video can be honest or dishonest, you don't know. I started making videos/playlist without cuts, and in the statistics I can see that most people only watch for a short while. I didn't even have explanatory talk, just video. Other videos where I talk, I noticed that they didn't listen to the message when I met the people who watched.

We have a few horses and beef cattle. Also raise buckin Bulls.

I'd love to hear your opinion on martingales. To eliminate that massive movement with your hands, if you use them or not, why. And some of the pros and cons like increase leverage and teaching the horse to talk their had earlier on And some of the pros and cons like increase leverage and teaching the horse to Tuck their head earlier on. Thank you very much.

I’ve followed his methodology for 25 years. The original program was awesome. I just stuck with it, the horses showed me where I was going wrong or right. He put names to the exercises every other horseman was using opened it to everyone who had a mind to really learn it. Great man

Manure spreader & ground to spread on! Access to water! Access to feed or ability to make it. Drive, ambition, & desire! Health & wellness! Someone to share it with & animals to care for! Love & God's Blessings!

Same thing for some women...they need to look for the out gate and use it.

Fun to consider.

I’ve seen kid ponies rule Staunch Avenger / Hancock colts. Just another exception?

Was a misunderstood technique to prepare to take a horses temp. Good to have that sorted before you need it. Million’s of ways to kill a cat and get one broke. Even more ways to misinterpret an idea. My 2 cents! Pat’s good for industry, horses, riders. Learn something from most anyone, he has value and he had it before many a great horseman had it.

Sounds like some Temple Grandin philosophy. Do you use the snubbing post for something other than a rope holder?

Many aspects to making a Horse !

Good one! I have a friend that’s got a full grown mustang and one of the things she’s having to teach is going thru gates ( while haltered ) without being spooked about it and in a hurry. It’s gonna take a while, she can’t afford the panels for a set up like yours. Myself cause I’m older have always made a series of panel corrals with alleys and a series of smaller pens, makes it effortless to handle unbroken and youngsters for training and catching.

Thanks! Very good acknowledgement of finding out the truth about a subject. Cool!

Correct in that horsemanship is a martial art….there was a time in Europe that to be a knight or “man at arms”, horsemanship was one of the first things taught to young men destined to be warriors. For learning about eastern martial philosophy, I suggest reading “Book of Five Rings” by Miyamoto Musashi. I read it many years ago. I’m currently researching (as a hobby) medieval European martial arts, but at the current time I do not have any recommendations for that until I get more reading done.

Me and Mr. Parelli have something in common….using panels. I’m always changing my setup. My wife says it’s because I have commitment issues haha.

Paint looks better every time

Really useful to see, both the good and the bad. Thank you so much

They aren't cleaning their cinch if they figure they are allergic.

What makes a Ranch? The right 'drive' and 'State of Mind' . Had a good friend (now deceased) who had a big outfit. 70 thousand acres. It was the sorriest outfit I ever knew.

I am proud to say that I have never watched Yellow Stone. Too busy riding real deal horses. Saw a preview when it first started and the "cowboy" was looking at his horn while dallying. That was enough for me.

A ranch has to produce something other than horse shit that can be sold or eaten. So many fools out here in Ca. calling their half acres a ranch. I am embarrassed for them. I am on a one acre training facility not a ranch.

Goof laugh at the Yellowstone comment!!! Cow or cows, grass land. It’s funny how many people call their piece of dirt a ranch, but they don’t meet any simple requirement to be called a ranch!!

I was gearing up to jump on this until you pointed out that you aren't going to leave the horse for more than a few minutes bc you don't want him getting sore. So thank you for that LOL. I am unclear why you would tie to his tail rather than something stationary on the saddle. Granted he can't move his tail very far, but he can move it some. So he could actually get relief at his mouth if he just moves his tail closer. Not a lot, but you aren't asking for a lot. Or he could get punished @ his mouth, if he moved his tail away. If he was tied to the saddle, then whatever happens @ his mouth would be all on him; he would have to bend himself (head/neck) to get any relief.

So after 47 min. and 20 seconds of listening I went out and massaged my horses anus. Damned if it didn't work. I'm on a new path of deep tissue bonding with horses. Might hold a clinic.

Welder, generator, wood burning fire place, a spring, water storage tanks, just to name a few.

I refuse to work at any type of ranch that does not have a good well (or year round running spring box), and at least one woman.

Hey Bret. I tried that and my horses didn't like the blevins buckle poking them in the ribs. Lol.

You’re a good man, God bless you.

Bale bed pickup, good toolbox, welder, shoeing tools, a good saddle house or at least something to keep saddles in

Hmm...a stimulating consideration. IMO, I dont own a ranch. My place is a ranchette. I dont feel l can really say I'm a rancher, because l make my dime off of construction work. The 75 acres l own comes with 'some' of what a ranch would need to operate and fend for itself independently...meaning: self sufficiency, but not enough. l think there's the division. Often l think owners, or on lookers confuse the two...ranches and ranchettes. Maybe this would be a fair parallel...Kitchens vs kitchenettes...Merely having a microwave and mini-fridge will not define what a whole kitchen is...refer to Martha Stewart for prezactness there. Again, and to your point, '"What is needed?" In the US, tbe landscape varies considerably. Not much about an Everglade ranch operation would compare with a Montana ranch. Look at Texas. The state is so vast. Its eastern border has really no resemblance to its western border, other than the proud bond that identifies a texas cowhand. A fair amount of mid-west cattle operations would clasdify as ranches, but they own no horses, and kinda void of the romantic edge because they don't. What is needed? Most importantly, desire and ambition for the hard work required. Its pretty volatile being in the ranch business. Herds come and go as much as the parcels of land...the grit to keep on going year after year...IMO, that's number one! Thats a start...

Ranch hands, or at least one Ranch Hand.

Somebody else’s money

Although not necessary, a four wheel drive capable utility vehicle(RTV1100 is our choice)to haul your chore gear and pull the manure spreader. A tractor with a post hole auger, hay barn, equipment shed, and tack storage. Let's not forget the obligatory hitchin' post. Of course this is for a sub-sixty acre ranchita. Big ops need more.

This question will likely be answered, or viewed differently in other parts of the country. In the SW water might be the most important thing before looking at land or Infrastructure. The North might have water readily available year round, but lacks year round feed. Lack of year round feed can mean some ranches have to be part farm/ranch which would change what you would have to do to be successful. Good question, and I'm sure the answers will be interesting.
