I cannot tell you how much I enjoy and have learned from your videos. You are truly a master and are keeping something very important alive. You are so clear in how you explain things. I just bought a 10 year old ranch horse. I bought him off a cowboy on a ranch east of Winnemucca on the way to Midus, called the Vaca Ora. I also just bought one of your bits. He works off your legs but has no collection or self carriage. I'm going to try and work on that. I live in Yerington Nevada.
I learned a variation of this a few years back at a Buck clinic... Didn't really get it till I saw you explain it, Thanks for that. I'm a bit of a simple man and need to watch it again. No disrespect to Buck here, all I'm saying is the way you explain it makes more sense. We all have a different way of explaining things. Jon from Sonoita Az
Am in Arkansas. Disabled 60 yr old. Have always lived in country and had horses team roped and team penned . Really enjoy watching you and learning the different ways of doing things even tho i will not get to try any of them. Thank you for your videos and for your service in the military. My son-in-law is in the Air Force now, my father and father-in-law were both in WWII, it means more to people that knows how it is. Thank yo
I am from Germany, near Berlin :) I always thought that all bits, that use leverage, hurt the horse. Since I am watching your videos I am learning thay defenitely can, but it is always a matter of the hands that hold the reins and the preparation/education you put in your horse. I guess if handled wrong, even a ropehater can hurt a horse. All the best for you both,your horses,and the puppy!
I am so thankful I found you . From Sweden. I look fore everything you film and I train it. My first inspiration that make sens was Curt Pait from Montana I think. He was Here in Sweden for 25 years ago. Then I get lost in some way. Now you gey me back tank you fro my hart. The love fore the horse. Unna Katz .
Really enjoying your videos. We are working with two wild mustangs in Missouri and the ground exercises look like a great foundation for them to learn.
I was surprised you brought up the Morgan breed. The oldest horse I ever started under saddle was a 15 year old Morgan stallion.The owners sent him to be broke and trained to cut cattle. I had him 6 months when the owners hauled him to the Morgan Cutting Horse Futurity (there was no age limit). That stallion jumped up and won it! He was one of the best minded horses I ever rode. Now days, the Morgan is being crossed on to Saddlebreds. It's difficult to find a true Morgan any more.
I feel so privileged that you explain everything in such an easy way to understand. Thank you pat and deb. I am an English man transitioning into a cowboy. I’ve got a Spanish Horse she is nearly 6 and going good in the Bozeleto . I have to wear an English helmet to keep people happy😂 but it’s worth it . If I get to try and ride like you..👍
It would be great if you repeated what Deb says because we can't really hear her. We raise Morgans in Sunray, Texas. My family has been raising Morgans since 1963. You are right about there being 2 types of the breed but even the high stepping horses work well on the trail when given the chance. My husband is a cowboy and works at a feed yard. He has been riding Morgans for over 20 years. They will do what ever he asks and he feels well mounted on them. All of our horses are broke to drive before they are ever ridden. We feel it gives them a nice rounded education to begin with. I have been adding in some of what you are doing and find it rounds them out even better! Thank you. Dave has been wanting to cross our Morgans with a Quarter Horse and so we have a mare we have been breeding to our Morgan stallion and producing some very nice foals. Our stallion is who is in my profile picture. Greentree Gathering Storm. I was hoping to attend one of your clinics this spring. Maybe next time you are in the "area".
Thank you! We spent a couple of weeks in southern Spain many years ago. That is the time we developed an appreciation for Iberian horses. We hope to return one day, ride horses, and do some exploring.
Pat and Deb, thanks a bunch for getting me the no link snaffle so quickly. My mates really seem to like it(especially with salt). It's amazing how I can tell what they are feeling by wether they are playing with it or not. I've never had anyone explain it to me like y'all did. It makes great sense now that I'm " listening". Just to let you know I'm from Peralta NM, and enjoy my mostly back yard horses and getting them into the high country when I can. Keep it up. Your appreciated!
Hello Pat and Deb, I live in Northern Idaho up in the panhandle. I came across your videos this spring while educating myself on pads and saddles. I can respect and understand what you say and how you work with your horses. I trail ride up here in the mountains and my gelding that I ride turns 22 in May. I inherited him from a 80 yr old man who didn't belive in ground work and never asked his horses to do a single thing other than walk down a trail. They all had horrible bad habits like being pushy, crowding other horses and doing what ever they wanted when they wanted to do it. I've started him side passing, he doesn't like it at all, but he's doing it. My biggest issue with him is with him wanting to walk right behind the horse in front of him, because we are usually in the middle of the pack. I feel like I'm constantly pulling back on him asking him to back up and wait and not crowd other horses. Thank you for your service Pat, I know the issues you're dealing with as I'm married to a Vietnam vet too.
Hello Christina. Thank you for your comment. I sure hate to slow down a fast walking horse just because everyone else is riding a turtle. Is there any way you can get out in front and let him walk? He’ll be happier and maybe both of you will inspire the others to walk faster!
@@PatnDebPuckett thank you for getting back to me. I completely agree with you. And sometimes I can be up front, it just depends where we ride, we ride a lot in grizzly bear county with the back county horsemen group cleaning up trails and my friends are very protective of us girls. I need to be able to rate his speed at times and still have him happy.
@@christinataylor2590 then you’ll need to bump and release about a thousand times until he understands to rate his speed. Avoid holding him on a tight rein. You can also practice walking in collection but there should be very little if any weight on your hands.
For a horse that’s walking on to fast in the crowd I often will put them into some tight circles. Every time he speeds up I circle him. They often will get the idea pretty quick.
Iv had Morgans my whole life. Iv heard of the stories of wild horses in the norther calif area being of Morgans from a old Morgan ranch that let them run free. The western working Morgans are the sturdy ones that are easy to work with and are very much born broke in a sense. The show type Morgans tend to be more hot or forward, refined with individual varying. My colts lines are western working out of the Teton program that use Morgans for hunting, packing, camping, and tours out in the Teton mountains. They are known for their easy nature, wanting to please, durability, and stamina. It is so cool to hear someone else talking about the Morgans with details I did not know!
@@PatnDebPuckett That's the first time iv heard that I think he maybe thinking of the Palominos he mentioned they used Morgans with Spanish bred horses. There is however a connection with the Canadian horse. They believe the Morgans were mixed predominantly with Canadian mares and there is a genetics test indicating this to be true.

On the subject of Morgans I was told that they were the first horses that were sent overseas by the military. Initally to pull Med carts on the battlefields of France. Morgans had high endurance, intelligence and strength. Not sure if this is true for the States.
Lonnie Elliott their is a good volume of Morgan’s being raised overseas due to this. A good horse is a good horse regardless of breed. I have personally thrown my leg over a few Morgan’s that were my GoTos.

Pat has a question: He read that the original Morgan breeder in Vermont imported an Andalusian stallion. Do you have any knowledge about that?
@@PatnDebPuckett That's the first time iv heard that I think he maybe thinking of the Palominos he mentioned they used Morgans with Spanish bred horses. There is however a connection with the Canadian horse. They believe the Morgans were mixed predominantly with Canadian mares and there is a genetics test indicating this to be true.
What is a Canadian horse?
Over time I became a Morgan fan. Enjoy your videos and am working on concepts with my nags. Ice just went out of lake in NE Maine.

I really enjoy your vidioes. I was never able to get on horse couldn't get foot in stirrup never rode much when I did I just fell off. lol
Tom Boysen even if you don't ride, as you know it's just great to listen to Pat tell stories and share some history!
i like dip scent
I'm sure there are a lot of dip tanks in the South Texas ranches. Currently live in north Texas, grew up in west Texas.
I remember the dip tank near Wisdom Mt.
On the subject of Morgans I was told that they were the first horses that were sent overseas by the military. Initally to pull Med carts on the battlefields of France. Morgans had high endurance, intelligence and strength. Not sure if this is true for the States.
