Pat's First Ride on Blue
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 апр 2024
- In this video, Pat gets on Blue in the round pen and rides both directions at the walk, trot, and canter. He works on the one rein stop and rides with the flag. Keep in mind, Blue has been ridden before but he hasn't been ridden in over a year. As soon as Pat gets the one rein stop perfected, he'll go outside. He's riding Blue in the halter with the Missing Link Snaffle just hanging in Blue's mouth so he can become accustomed to it prior to putting reins on it. Pat always teaches the One Rein stop in a halter first, whether he's going on to the Missing Link Snaffle or to the Bosal. For more information, head over to our website, www.thedisciplinedride.com .

‘I’m borderline giddy” 😂 You sir, have the best dry humour in the West.
Pat is the real deal. We use both his missing link snaffle and we use his same style horse roping methods. The best!
Very commendable horseman and interesting stories
purple mountain majesty!!
Pat borderline giddy. I love it! Masterful to watch
This is really beautiful to me because everything we did when saddle training now has a name. My Mom taught me these same methods, but there were not really any names for them.
I totally get the having a bit in, and not using it at this stage of training. It's about comfort. The horse needs to become comfortable carrying the bit, not just "used" to it.
Mom always taught me to ride from my seat.
EVERYTHING is about weight distribution and motion.
We didn't use spurs, at all.
But since we were training Arabians for normal use, and not shows, you really do not need spurs on Arabs. They tend to be ULTRA sensitive to start with, so it is easy to train gently.
Our horses were trained to ride with a halter, but carrying a bit.
Eventually, we transitioned to using just the bit, but by then they knew one rein stops AND seat stops (I'm not sure of what to call it properly), and neck reining without ANY pressure on the bit.
I've had other riders criticize me for my loose reins... Especially on an Arab.
What they didn't know, that when your horse is plugged into YOU, and has confidence IN YOU. there's no need for a tight rein.
They knew what we wanted from our seat, leg pressure, or from the rein touching their necks, NOT their mouth.
Mom taught me to pressure with my calf, not my heel. Heels were only used if the message was not getting through, which meant you lost the horse's mind, or we called it "attention".
It was essential to learn to "read" a horse's body language. Ears, eyes, tail, muscle tension, breathing...
That comes from YEARS of ground work.
We didn't full weight "ride" them until 4 +/- yrs old. Horses need to be mature in mind and body before you sit on them, but ground work starts (or it should) at just a couple weeks old. Touching, brushing, picking up feet, leaning over, blankets, (at least here in the Northeast), tiny little halters, halter training... It progresses as the colt matures.
So many people go too fast. Doing too much too soon. The horse brain has to mature just like a human's does.
A 5 yr old child doesn't have the ability to make the snap judgments to drive a car, like an immature horse cannot learn everything all at once.
You gotta go slow.
One thing I HATE about most "Arab-people" is they take a highly sensitive, extremely smart horse, and make it into a crazy idiot, just because it's "pretty"!!!! ARRRGH!!!!
Arabs can be calm, confident, gentle and LOYAL to the point of protecting you.
I'd LOVE to see what you can do with an Arab!!!
It would help people see that all Arabs are not crazy, dangerous, idiots.
You are a real California horseman! Appreciate you and your perspectives based on years of experience.
THANK YOU for all the advice !!!

Final Ride ?
We were in NM this month . Thought of you and the Work you and Deb are doing with people horses and the world
I want to hear Pat talk about starting broncy colts and how to handle or restart them
thank you for another good one, be interesting to hear your take on the difference between narrow chested horses and wide chested horses
Nice🎉
Good job mate.
Nice job Pat!!!
Great video thank you
💵🍩Ten dollars and a doughnut lol 😂
Great video! Thank you.
Thanks!
I considered walking a soured or young horse out then riding it back ?
Getting old need to be safe riding OUTSIDE
👍👍👍
"Borderline giddy!" indeed 😅
Hey Pat & Deb thanks for the snubbing post info I'd asked about the other day.
❤️
It kind of looks like this colt might be sore...Tends to come to a stop with hind legs spread and then points with his right front.
Honest question. Is there something not right with this horse's back legs? They look weak. Or just a muscle issue.
👍🐴
I have learned so much from Pats videos
What bit are you starting him in?
Borderline giddy 😂 gotta remember that.
Thanks for sharing your methods .just wondering what's on the other side of that beautiful mountain. Iam Kent from Minnesota
40 ft breaking pen is definitely the way to go.
This horse must have some serious kinks for Pat to take extra time before getting on.
Blue looks a little browner today? Did you give him a coat of polish and a good buffing 🇨🇦🤣
hi pat what size is that round pen you are in? thanks
Pat; You may remember me. I have a 13 year old made jumper. At the end of each session I exhale, set my spine and ask her stop. I then get her to give the right jaw with one rein and then the left. I then pat and give her thanks. Is this correct? Or am I screwing up?

I have a question. I was always taught that you shouldn't trot or lope going home. If you trot the horses when you're wrangling them back to the corral, aren't you teaching the horse you're on to trot towards home?
Wrangling loose horses does not teach them to trot home.
@@PatnDebPuckett I was inquiring about the one the person wrangling the horses is riding. Not the loose horses. If you are riding a horse and are trotting it back to the barn, it is learning to trot to the barn with you on it isn't it?
You have asked the horse to trot in. Horses are smart enough to know what the job is versus when they are trying to hurry home. Your horse should be able to do whatever you ask.
@@PatnDebPuckett Thank you. I've been concerned about this for a number of years. I graze my horses every day except when there's snow on the ground.. When I bring them in I just take a halter out with me and tie a quick hackamore to a different one each day. Then I use that horse to drive the others home. I have been keeping the riding horse at the walk, but we're a small outfit (6 horses and right now 10 steers).
I hate to be a contrarian. Pat was very crude in the way he rode Blue. Bump? I saw a bunch of heavy handed jerking. When Blue braced Pat just yanked harder. My 50+ years in the horse business tells me that kind of heavy handedness builds fear and resentment in a horse. All that could have been done very much more softly and gotten better results, probably in less time. I have to say I cringed watching this.😔
I think you said that Pat jerked harder when Blue braced harder. That’s the correct response. The part you missed is that as soon as Blue yielded to the pressure, Pat released. It can be ugly before it’s pretty. Especially if the horse has been ridden poorly in the past. If Pat had yielded to Blue, he would have taught him that so long as he continues bracing, Pat will yield to him. Riding softly comes later after the horse understands that if he yields, he will get a release. I will also point out that Blue was ridden in a halter. So cringing really wasn’t necessary. Pat would never bump him in the mouth.
Do we know what Blue's general breeding is? His head seems a bit Arabian, no? Handsome animal. Thx for the vids!
