I didn't know that I had horses in my blood. It took me til I was 41 that I was able to get around horses. I would have liked to have learned from someone like you growing up. I now have my first horse and she's a good one. 23 year old and very healthy Tennessee Walking Horse. She has her quirks, but so do I. We live in Washington State where it's wet, but I try to ride and be with her as much as I can with work. I love what you teach and it is a privilege to learn from you and Miss Deb. God bless you all. I love the ranch life and hope to be living on one til I die.
I rode when I was a kid ! And I loved it! And when I got older Bills and a job happened! I wish I just stuck with horses! We got scammed by our Government and Schools to be their slaves! At 55 I am back with the horses till I die! FJB
I absolutely love all this info on long distance hauling. I've been told it's not wise to hang hay in a trailer, but never knew about water, one way or the other, so glad to learn about that. And you're so right about how potentially dangerous it is to be inside a trailer with a horse. An acquaintance of mine who has decades of horse handling experience and loads of common sense sustained the worst injuries of his life tangling with a horse in a trailer. Idk the particulars but it's likely it was a young green horse w little trailering experience. So Pat & Deb's emphasis on getting your horses comfortable being hauled is well placed.
I don’t think I’ll be alone when I say that I’m thankful you’ve taken the time to make all of these videos. I may never set foot on a ranch but the lessons and the mentality are transferable: take pride in your work, be grateful, allow people and animals a sense of dignity, keep up your end of the bargain. All the best from a viewer in Montreal.
Pat & Deb I have lived my entire life in Burley, Ideho but i never knew of your Grandfather Ed, probably before my time . I watch all your videos . I wish i knew half of what you guys know about horses and ranching ! I've spent my entire adult life in construction and still working. If you need a place to stay your always welcome here. Thank you for all you do ! Rob Povlsen
Love your videos. Live on a place in wa state that used cement forms from the building of the dam. My grandpa survived the great depression by shearing sheep, then was able to purchase small parcels for taxes and ended up with over 8000 acres. Thanks again for your wisdom
Thank you for another great video, Pat & Deb! It's good to hear that Deb made it through her surgery. You two are a big influence in my life right now as I am bringing along a young Arabian gelding. Thanks again!!
I relate to the tent story. My grandad & oldest son spent a winter in a tent in Alberta about 1920ish. Started building next summer. Today most everyone expects the perfect house immediately!
I had grandparents like that too. Kate and Dewey Truitt. Came to oklahoma from south during depression. Eventually bought land, raised Cattle. We still own that land.
Good stuff from good folks. My grandpa was a big influence on my life too. We didn't play very much at all but I enjoyed time with him working and learning how to get things done and the stories of him growing up. He was a young man during the great depression so we didn't waste anything and learned how to get things done with what we had.. My trailer is a fancy one very similar to yours and I'm thankful for it, especially every month when that payment isn't due. North Alabama native.
Thank you for sharing the process you go thru for hauling! Huge, huge help! Any old timer stories about how your grandpa did things would be appreciated.
I love the story about your grandpa, especially the snippet about him working at Grand Coulee. Recently we went hiking in Northrup Csnyon near GC. There are piles and piles of rusted cans left by the workers. These piles are designated historic sites, which is a cool connection to history.
AWWW this is GREAT for sure ... TRAIN AT HOME FOR WHATEVER BUT TRAIN AT HOME is the BEST advice you can give OR GET ... DO it before you NEED it .. ...thanks guys ...GRREAT to hear Deb too . She has a Beautiful voice ...Thanks guys from Douglasville Ga..
I've got a fancy trailer just like this one, bought new in '98, still going strong. Horses definitely prefer open stock trailers. I frequently work with problem loaders and always start with my trailer. Safer for us both and owners are amazed that their horses load much easier into mine than their slants or straight loads. Times where I'm hauling 1-2 horses a few hours or more, I shut cut gate and leave them loose as you're right it's a box stall on wheels.
That is interesting that your grandparents were in Coasregold..in the 1960’s as a kid I watched a few horseman in the hackamore colt class ( about 6 of them) ride their colts in the Mariposa County fair.. Labor Day..those colts were so well mannered.. and it impressed me..a welsh bareback pony rider..it also made me wince when the up and coming NATURAL horseman .. tended to infer that only THEY knew the way to start a horse.. I doubted THAT. those older men probably in their 60’s at the time..knew also.. their have always been horseman and women.. but a little harder to find now.. and I appreciate you and Deb.
Mr Puckett your hell of a cowboy very knowledgeable as well ! You had dying laughing over here in north Texas when ya said “you wanna kno how to open a can of peaches we got em!” Young cowboy bumped my head a million times young Black in the city and the country! I would too say I gotta ol soul and you sir fall into some greats wish I seen ya in action my age I kno men your age wouldn’t dare Daley up on something stay safe keep riding videoing and dropping knowledge!
I would love if you would tell us stories about the good horses that have come to you...ones that surprised you, ones that you were most proud of to send home, as willing partners I know a few of them that have passed through your care, and I love when you talk about them...what made them special, in your eyes.when you reflect on some of the good ones, what comes to mind...tell us their stories.
Even thou I will go to my grave never roping a cow, I watch many of your videos. My horse experience revolves around horseback field trialling with pointing dogs. That routinely involves going several hundred miles with horses. I drive a bit slower than the flow of traffic. That gives you an open road, so that it is rare to have to brake on short notice. If the temperatures allow, I carry 25 gallons of water for the horses. That covers any chance of water not being available, if plans go awry. Regarding trailering in winter weather, I'd have to give up elk hunting, to avoid it entirely. If you avoid driving when there are going to be strong crosswinds, it isn't very different than most other times. A plus is, in cold weather, it is easier to keep horses warm, compared to keeping them cool in hotter weather.
Yeah...I really feel sorry for a boy that grows up without a Grandfather. Those days coming up, were some of the greatest days of my life. We were almost inseparable. Taught me what it took to be a good man.
Great! Love your old stories too Pat.🙂, my dad was born in 1927, similar stories, depression, etc. But mostly, love these requested info videos you are doing. This trailer one is PERFECT. I'm going thru this exact scenario right now, my gelding does not like it, etc. I learned more things from you on this, THANK YOU!! So even more info on the trailer topic will be appreciated. God Bless you both.
@@PatnDebPuckett hello and thanks. Anything further on trailers, loading, dealing with their anxiety once they are up in that front position, etc. My horse, fairly new to me, has issue staying up in that front spot. For last two months my trailer has been in the gateway, and I feed him in there. I've made big progress, but it still took two of us to get him all the way up in that front spot, and tied, after we closed the divider. My trailer is a gooseneck 2-horse slant....so there is one divider. On the left, two big drop down windows. On right there's two large slider windows. It is NOT a open stock. I have been wondering about selling it and get more of a stock type as Pat demonstrated. He did address several of my concerns with this horse. All my past horses have loaded good & calm. I've been thinking about removing the divider, that way he can move around a little more, so it would be like how Pat's demo horse was tied in the trailer. I thought about leaving him loose too, believe Pat mention that as option. So if you don't have dividers in trailer, what is safer, tying the horse or leave loose? HOW does Pat make that choice?
@@rgould4196 We never feed our horses in the trailer to get them used to the trailer. It has little effect on the horse getting in when you want him to do it. We have a trailer loading RUclips video which I will link below. We also have a groundwork dvd that goes into detail about our style of groundwork which is directly linked to trailer loading. As stated in this video, we turn a horse loose if we are only hauling one for a long distance. Otherwise, our horses are tied in the trailer as shown in the video. ruclips.net/video/qoTILIVs-hM/видео.htmlsi=OnS4QbNVXYwPSlAp
I watched this video 3 consecutive times . You have a lot of good hearted information and i wanted to grab it all. Keep up the good work and great videos
Love you guys. Use your bits every day. I grew up with dairy cows and one horse we would challenge who could stay on the longest 😂 I'm 43 years old and got into horse about 6 years ago. Truly appreciate your videos. Kick ass people yall are. Come visit Georgia soon!
Could you or did you make a video about what you have in your horses first aid kit? Again you guys teach me so so much..... thank you from Québec, Canada !
The recommendation of hauling your horses around on the short trips will also help establish a routine of hooking up the trailer, improve your hauling skills as well as loading horses.
Love all your videos, this may sound like a stupid question and you probably have a video that I haven’t seen about it. But I would like to know how you break a horse from running from you when you’re going to catch him. thank you so much again for your services. God bless you.
Start in a small corral and teach your horse to face up and hook on. Each time you catch him in the small corral, lead him to the place where you brush him and give him some grain in a bucket. This will teach him that there is a reward for getting caught. Don’t bait him with grain in the corral. When he’s waiting at the gate to get caught, you should be able to catch him in a larger area.
I’ve never hauled more than about a 5-6 hour trip at a time. So I learned some things here. I have dividers. But I don’t tie mine. Cause it’s just him. And he knows the deal. But I’ve always hung hay cause that’s what I was taught. I’ll never do that again. Last time I hauled he got his left leg hung up in the hay net. But again to the start of your video he’s hobble broke. And really good at it. So when I got back to the ranch and saw it wasn’t a big deal. Just pulled out my knife cut the hay net and threw it in the trash. I don’t know how long or when it happened but never had any commotion from the trailer. So again to back up what you were saying about hobble training. It’s very important. And also don’t be a dink like me and hang hay nets. Cause it’s a bad deal. That I almost learned the hard way.
hello there, I have been binging on Chinaco's playlist for the last several days, really enjoy your mix of old style and new thinking. I had both Grampa's and the one on my Mother's side was the rancher/cowman. got an old spade bit he used on two of his last rope horses and another what you are calling a half breed, I think, that was made in the Yuma prison. I'm writing because I heard you mention in a previous video and list in this one a neighbor and am real curious about the connection. if you've hauled I-10 through Arizona you have driven through the place when you went through Texas Canyon. we are on both sides for several miles. I might be interested in a Mexican ranch horse at some point. I almost brought one up from Chihuahua a few years ago but the logistics were too much. some good using horses down there.
Send us an email to debpuckett@gmail.com and we’ll visit. We used to live in St David. Pat day worked for Tammy Owens and Lincoln Dahl and Zach Mayberry and I rode with George Monzingo many years ago.
Just rewatched this wonderful video. I'm curious whether having the water in the trailer keeps the horse from building up stomach acid (or at least gives them relief from stomach acid) when they go so many hours without eating.
You know, we've never found this rampant stomach acid theory to be true. Ranch horses often work 8-10 hour days and they don't eat from the time they leave in the morning until they get home at night. Even when we aren't working our horses, they are fed once in the morning and once in the evening. We've never experienced any chronic colic problems save for an old Haflinger with bad teeth and none of our ranch horses have had ulcers. Before horses became pets and yard ornaments, horses often worked long days alongside their owners without any problems. Even wild horses in the west often have to travel many many hours between feed and water. So I don't know how to address your question. This is a relatively new "theory", this notion that horses have to constantly be eating or their stomach acid will kill them. It just doesn't have a ring of truth to me given our experiences with working horses with no chronic health problems to speak of. If I was looking for a reason for ulcers and gut problems in modern horses, I would probably look at horses being kept artificially and living most of their lives in stalls with no natural herd dynamic and the rigors and redundancy of the performance horse world. I'm not trying to be dismissive of this stomach acid concept that many people seem to believe, it's just that I've had horses for over 50 years. Pat has had them for over 70 years. Living in the west, we don't have them on pasture. You've obviously seen our place! And our horses are fit and healthy and they all eat twice a day.
I hauled my horse 3,000 miles - first horse, first haul. Phew! I learned a lot. Yet he never challenged entering or exiting the trailer. I think I was worse off than him with worry!!!
Thanks for the story about your Grandpa from Ideho;) Question, I have a straight load trailer. Need to start training my horses. What is your first training suggestion? Thank you Sue Ann from Fort Worth
Ideally you would teach your horses to load in a more open trailer first. The concepts are much the same but horses are claustrophobic animals so any advantage helps build their confidence and trust in you: ruclips.net/video/qoTILIVs-hM/видео.htmlsi=dOq5WzvJIM7hm1EH ruclips.net/video/c0LsM5Hvg5E/видео.htmlsi=8oz-qk8Yi2ZksiCy
If you're ever pullin through Cheyenne, you have an open invitation for a free meal and place for your horses. I have plenty of space for horses to stretch out, plenty of grass usually and clean well water. The wife and I live about 15 miles east of Cheyenne, just off I80. The closest motel is about 12 miles away. 😊😊😊
I haul in an open stock trailer as well. My main concern is the horses kicking each other which has happened. You have never had a problem with this? If I think there is an issue I will put shipping boots on the right fronts and right rears of the last three horses. I've had horses get bruised right through well padded shipping boots. I haul mares and geldings together. Gets old putting shipping boots on though. Any suggestions?
Have you seen this one: ruclips.net/video/OWQEIT7NXcY/видео.htmlsi=jsoLAuiyQzwnfj-R Also, the correct spelling is romal. Singular. It’s pronounced “row mall.” Not “row mel.”
Do you have any access to Palomino, Iberian bred horses? (Roy Rogers has cost me a fortune.) I know there are no bad colors but Palominos are my love. I am 6'2"so I prefer 15'2 - 16' H.
No. We've never worried about that but we don't have anything electrical or any propane in our trailer that would catch on fire unlike many people who have fancier trailers. In any case, I think it's more likely for a horse to slip on a slick mat than to have the shavings catch fire. The shavings also seem to discourage flies from swarming in the horse trailer. Shavings or some kind of bedding keep it generally cleaner and nicer for the horses.
@@PatnDebPuckett Here in Central Kentucky we have several commercial carrier horse vans and they had two fires last year that were blamed on sparks from a flipped out cigarette or something that ignited the shavings in one and two hay bags in another. Thanks for your reply I have learned so much from you both.
That is correct. We prefer an open stock trailer with no dividers. We often haul our horses saddled so dividers are a problem in that situation. We want our horses to be able to shift around if they need to. We can hang a bucket of water easily. Also if we're hauling just one horse cross country, we can turn the horse loose in the trailer.
That comment about the bucket being flat on one side like your cousins head was hilarious 🤣
I think this is my favorite video that Pat has ever done. The things he talks about here...
These are the best kind of videos you do that i am completely engrossed in . Thanks Deb and Pat....
“Thanks Pat!”
Please keep your videos and stories coming Pat and Deb . Love them all , and you two as well.
I didn't know that I had horses in my blood. It took me til I was 41 that I was able to get around horses. I would have liked to have learned from someone like you growing up.

This is the first video I've watched where Deb was off camera but mic'd. Loved it!
Love you answering questions
I really enjoyed your video on how to safely haul your horses! 🐴

hello there, I have been binging on Chinaco's playlist for the last several days, really enjoy your mix of old style and new thinking. I had both Grampa's and the one on my Mother's side was the rancher/cowman. got an old spade bit he used on two of his last rope horses and another what you are calling a half breed, I think, that was made in the Yuma prison. I'm writing because I heard you mention in a previous video and list in this one a neighbor and am real curious about the connection. if you've hauled I-10 through Arizona you have driven through the place when you went through Texas Canyon. we are on both sides for several miles. I might be interested in a Mexican ranch horse at some point. I almost brought one up from Chihuahua a few years ago but the logistics were too much. some good using horses down there.
Send us an email to debpuckett@gmail.com and we’ll visit. We used to live in St David. Pat day worked for Tammy Owens and Lincoln Dahl and Zach Mayberry and I rode with George Monzingo many years ago.
@@PatnDebPuckett OMG, know them all! will send an email. wonder if we've actually met or are related LOL!
Just rewatched this wonderful video. I'm curious whether having the water in the trailer keeps the horse from building up stomach acid (or at least gives them relief from stomach acid) when they go so many hours without eating.
You know, we've never found this rampant stomach acid theory to be true. Ranch horses often work 8-10 hour days and they don't eat from the time they leave in the morning until they get home at night. Even when we aren't working our horses, they are fed once in the morning and once in the evening. We've never experienced any chronic colic problems save for an old Haflinger with bad teeth and none of our ranch horses have had ulcers. Before horses became pets and yard ornaments, horses often worked long days alongside their owners without any problems. Even wild horses in the west often have to travel many many hours between feed and water. So I don't know how to address your question. This is a relatively new "theory", this notion that horses have to constantly be eating or their stomach acid will kill them. It just doesn't have a ring of truth to me given our experiences with working horses with no chronic health problems to speak of. If I was looking for a reason for ulcers and gut problems in modern horses, I would probably look at horses being kept artificially and living most of their lives in stalls with no natural herd dynamic and the rigors and redundancy of the performance horse world. I'm not trying to be dismissive of this stomach acid concept that many people seem to believe, it's just that I've had horses for over 50 years. Pat has had them for over 70 years. Living in the west, we don't have them on pasture. You've obviously seen our place! And our horses are fit and healthy and they all eat twice a day.
I hauled my horse 3,000 miles - first horse, first haul. Phew! I learned a lot. Yet he never challenged entering or exiting the trailer. I think I was worse off than him with worry!!!
Your grey looks almost identical to my horse.
Thanks for the story about your Grandpa from Ideho;)
Question, I have a straight load trailer. Need to start training my horses. What is your first training suggestion?
Thank you

Ideally you would teach your horses to load in a more open trailer first. The concepts are much the same but horses are claustrophobic animals so any advantage helps build their confidence and trust in you:

😂😂 “…watch ‘em lope home like a jackrabbit “.
If you're ever pullin through Cheyenne, you have an open invitation for a free meal and place for your horses. I have plenty of space for horses to stretch out, plenty of grass usually and clean well water.
The wife and I live about 15 miles east of Cheyenne, just off I80.
The closest motel is about 12 miles away.
😊😊😊
I haul in the winter but I don’t have much of a choice. I cowboy in Montana lol
I haul in an open stock trailer as well. My main concern is the horses kicking each other which has happened. You have never had a problem with this? If I think there is an issue I will put shipping boots on the right fronts and right rears of the last three horses. I've had horses get bruised right through well padded shipping boots. I haul mares and geldings together. Gets old putting shipping boots on though. Any suggestions?
Does carrying the Australian and New Zealand equestrian teams Melbourne/Auckland/Papeete/Vancouver/Montreal/Munich count as long hauling horses?
Thanks.my questions is the correct way to measure Romels
Have you seen this one:

Also, the correct spelling is romal. Singular. It’s pronounced “row mall.” Not “row mel.”
Do you have any access to Palomino, Iberian bred horses? (Roy Rogers has cost me a fortune.) I know there are no bad colors but Palominos are my love. I am 6'2"so I prefer 15'2 - 16' H.
Nope.
In case I missed it, did you talk about how long you go before stopping to give the horse a break or do you just go all day with this arrangement?
We don’t unload until we arrive at our destination for the day.
I didn’t get to know my Grandpa, but I have Pat Puckett. 😊
Question, do you ever worry about fire from the bedding ?
No. We've never worried about that but we don't have anything electrical or any propane in our trailer that would catch on fire unlike many people who have fancier trailers. In any case, I think it's more likely for a horse to slip on a slick mat than to have the shavings catch fire. The shavings also seem to discourage flies from swarming in the horse trailer. Shavings or some kind of bedding keep it generally cleaner and nicer for the horses.
@@PatnDebPuckett Here in Central Kentucky we have several commercial carrier horse vans and they had two fires last year that were blamed on sparks from a flipped out cigarette or something that ignited the shavings in one and two hay bags in another. Thanks for your reply I have learned so much from you both.
So your preference is a stock trailer. Not a slant load nor a front load.
That is correct. We prefer an open stock trailer with no dividers. We often haul our horses saddled so dividers are a problem in that situation. We want our horses to be able to shift around if they need to. We can hang a bucket of water easily. Also if we're hauling just one horse cross country, we can turn the horse loose in the trailer.
Where do you live?
