Good additional stuff to roping out a horse! Thank you. I’ve outlived my previous horse which we had got off the range, never been touched 2yr old, so she acted like a horse. We managed to get along fine. I was a sheepherder (shh) in cowboy country then. Now we have cattle and I have a mature,but sensitive horse,whose foundation has a lot of holes in it. I’m learning a lot from you and I guess if I’m gonna learn how to rope out a horse, I might as well learn your style of roping too. So, “Here..We ..Go. Thank you”.
I am enjoying every moment watching you,Pat.... I like hearing your teachings and watching them.....I used to could be a cowgirl... but now I can be able to school my horses again...I thank you all chinaco is a beautiful horse
I am from Quebec Canada, just recently stared watching your videos really enjoy watching them by the way I am a French canadien and a cowboy in my hart since I was a kid thank you and By for now
Thank you so very much! I, and my wife especially, are very very great full for you taking the time to answer my question! Not to get greedy,but anything you could share about doctoring calves and yearlings alone would be greatly appreciated as well. because that’s about the only way I’ve done it and will be doing it for the foreseeable future. Thank you again so very much!
I have pretty much binge watched most all his videos and plan on binge and binge watch as I'm working with my 16hh 15yo Big Ben. I used to have horses years ago asa kid and he's reminding me and getting me back in touch with that kid in me and also teaching me way more then that! My brother in law has cows south of me a ways and I'd like for Ben and I to go help out in occasion as well as my next door neighbor. The information in these videos Mr. Pat Puckett is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Rocks Corner I am putting my QH filly in training Feb or March waiting on their schedule. When asked what I wanted to do with her I told them ranch riding, extreme trail (not the crazy stuff) reining, or even team penning. I want to do more learn more before my time on earth is up. I do want the snaffle bit for her for sure. By the way I too binge watch rewatch their videos.
These drills and techniques help. Been searching for some time to find ways to get the horse to communicate clearly in a soft quiet way. Thanks so much
I'm no expert but that saddle horn reminds me of the Mexican saddles we used in the 80 in Toluca. Big wooden flat topped horn covered in leather. I commend you for continued ranching in California. It must be hard, not only cost wise but politically as well. I would've moved to a red state but my hat's off to you. Thank you so much for the vids. They're excellent.
Wonderful video! Thank y’all so much for putting these together! I don’t rope, but I think all horses need this. I train by myself with no one close by. My husband is a pilot for Air Evac and I certainly hope he never has to come pick me up from a horse accident. Any and everything I can do to help my horses be more settled and confident will be done. I got your bit in the mail yesterday and am excited to give it a try. None of my horses ride with a bit so I’ll be taking it easy on them and do a slow progression with them just carrying the bit for awhile to get used to it. Thanks again for all the hard work and for sharing your knowledge and your wonderful sense of humor!
Kinda late to the party but I have done something similar to the last bit under the tail while using 30ft ground driving lines. It was unintentional but when I asked the horses to turn he just kept turning and turning and turning. Next thing I knew he had a rope clamped down between his legs and pitched and kicked for the next 15min. After the dust cleared, he was pretty trusting of me with a ripe from then on. Whenever he gets caught up he kinda just stops and waits on me to fix things.
That is a great training tool for colts, I use it on every one. With that said, I have been bucked off by the most mellow horses, team roping, when they clamp the rope with their tale. Love your videos
You are a very wise man Pat! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge! I feel very fortunate to be able to watch these videos. I am trying to implement your methods whenever I can here where I work in Millarville, Alberta. Thank you!
I should have trained my mare being safe with the rope between her hind legs before I started to drag logs... she stepped over the rope and panicked, and bucked away with me and the log. Took some sec before I could pop the dally and I hit the ground. Lession learned! Thanks for awesome post / Teresa from Sweden
That’s why we rope all of our horses. They learn to accept the rope everywhere. Even horses that will never be used for roping. You never know what a horse will encounter in his life...wire fences, vines, etc. They are best served by being introduced to ropes...
Thanks allot I really appreciate your videos is helping me alott as by us there is not really a lot of people that can rope so it's not easy to work things out by ur self,thank you
You wanted to know if any one knew where badger California is ,well I live about 12 miles as the crow flys from there. I live in a small rural town of Seville california . And I would like to say thank you for all the info it has certainly helped me in working with my horses m getting ready to ride my my young mare for the first time I’ve done lots of ground with her . Put a saddle on her for the first time yesterday and she did well know bad reaction to that so then I lead her around with saddle and still good stood up in stirup with weight on her hopefully it will go as well when I ride her for her first ride .
@@PatnDebPuckett Hi Deb, I'm responding even though I haven't had a chance to see the video yet. Tips Western Wear in Winnemucca carries all cotton ranch ropes, and I thought they could get reatas as well. After all it is Winnemucca. I've included the link and the phone number is 775-623-3300 and the link is www.tipswestern.com/tips_default_new.asp?subcategory_id=3&Category=Ranch%20Ropes Thanks for everything you do! (My family goes way back in Nevada and from the 30's through the 80's you drop my Grandmother's name anywhere there were ranchers or Basques and all doors were open.)
Pat , One of the most dangerous horse situation is the “ Pullback “ not only are they a threat to themselves they spook the horses around them , especially if the horses are tied to picket line or to a trailer . Some say if a horse has gotten away with pulling back several times you can’t get it out of them . What say yes ...Poppa Jones ..Scottsdale, Arizona
Am I wrong he looks a little off when he trots around there? His head bobs a bit or is that because he feels that rope and is compensating? Watch him at 11:17-11:20 . 11:23 to 11:25. Might just be me seeing something that isnt there. By the way I just cant get enough of the videos and the valuable info and tools they offer. Thank you
Could you please explain the “behind the eye” idea to me a little bit? I get what you’re doing but when you said that you could never do enough behind the eye I got a little confused. What is the difference?
If you stay behind the eye, you won’t make your horse pull back. You can’t do too much of this work changing from left eye to right eye. That makes the horse gentle. So basically the rope loses importance to the horse. It no longer matters where the rope is. The exercise evolves into getting the horse used to changing eyes. Hope this helps...
@@PatnDebPuckett when you say "behind the eye" you mean to stay behind the eye in relation to the eye position on the horse's body, right. As apposed to standing in front of the eye which would be in front of the head of the horse? Is this right?
That is correct. Behind is behind. Not even. Not in front. Behind the eye will have the effect of driving the horse forward while in front of the eye drives the horse back.
@@PatnDebPuckett Thanks for the great video. I had a question that I think you have answered above; I would just like make sure I understand correctly. I wanted to know why Pat said if you rope the horse in front of the eye you are setting him up for failure. Is this because the horse will want to pull back?

You’re a smooth operator Pat! Thanks!
This is wonderful information. I love to hear the intuitive instruction and the gentle demonstration of thoughtful patience.

I wish California wasn't so far away thanks for sharing with us!
Great exercise. Love the story about the old man and the way they did it. It seems to me the old ways are always better. Thank you for sharing.

I don’t rope nor do I plan to. I believe that these exercises would be good for all horses to have.

Thanks, I like these two exercises and look forward to experimenting and adapting them to my program.
Thank you Pat. I noticed in this area it's gettin' hard to find cotton rope anymore.
We have the same problem. I think that rope is a blend and don’t remember where we got it.
