Who in the world would give this video a thumbs down, and why??? There is so much valuable training information and philosophy here. Thank you, Pat and Deb.
This is a great video to keep me honest and refer back too! The tendency to lose detail when asking creeps in very easily. Thank you Pat & Deb for another wonderful video!!!
Well once again your videos answered a question for me. I have a older horse I want to transition from a snaffle to a western bit. Now I know how to proceed. Thanks Pat and Deb. From your Canadian friend
So glad you got on the topic of Traditional v. What Works. As long as the method is respectful to the horse and doesn't betray him, one should make improvements when you can. I have never had the honor of taking a horse through the entire bridle process. So I've had to learn to try and figure out where they are now and what is the more important change for the better I can make Now. Usually don't have the time to put them through their own personal seminar. Sometimes just establishing that I wont be Yee-Hawing their mouth and head, but setting them up, asking and releasing pressure, does wonders. It's amazing how willing a horse can be when you respect them. Blessinhs to you both. Would love to hear more about your work where your at.
Woo-Hoo! It is great to see you two back again. I've been looking at some of your old videos. Once, again, you have done a great job of putting together a great instructional video with easy to follow instructions. I will need to watch it 70 times, but ... Oh, well. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you for all the videos! Very informative and has been very helpful for me as I am trying to get as practical and wide a foundation on my mare as possible, but my education on western is lacking and your videos help fill in these gaps
Thank you for the help. I put all of your ideas that I can to good use and have had some good success. So thanks again. If the stars ever align and I get the chance to learn from you in person I certainly will.
I have a 14 yr old QH that I've very carefully and meticulously done my best to...ruin apparently. I love him dearly. He's my first horse and I'm so thankful for him. I'm looking forward to the challenge of fixing my many many mistakes. Thanks. I'm officially a dink. 🤦
Would love to see deb do some trail riding with a gopro i feel she would get some beautiful views😄 i love all these videos you guys are doing a wonderful job teaching through a screen
Great video! You combined a lot of great concepts from other videos into one. - what is the snaffle you referred to other than yours (which I have)? Not gonna lie my gelding gets lazy and drags his feet. In Nebraska so maybe he thinks he is going to plant corn.
Good question on the regular snaffle...loose ring, D-ring, full cheek, egg butt,...? I have my 3 year old in an egg butt at present..waiting for Pat’s bit..the maker is fighting fires.. I can wait..I also am keeping the rope halter on with the lead rope tied high above the knot as insurance...on rides as we are in our first 60 days training. It is real helpful.
Great video, I see this thing of leaning forward and trying to move the horse by pulling the reins quite a bit, I call it "dragging a horse by the face". It's hard to get people to just set the horses head and then respond with their body and legs before just pulling with their hands toward where they want to go. Yakima Valley Washington.
Since we have over a hundred videos on our channel, it’s difficult to know what you are asking about. Please let me know the context of your question (what is the “this” you are referring to) and the time stamp that contained the statement you are asking about.
@@PatnDebPuckett I watched more videos and I found an answer that satisfied me. Thank you for your time. Much respect from Romania you guys are amazing.
So you mentioned you wouldn't work any of this with a colt. I have reached out before about my horse he is a two year old and we are learning together. i am not looking to total cowboy i am looking for a good solid horse. He was green broke on a twisted wire bit, so how can i start this transition to a western bit?
First, throw the twisted wire snaffle away if you haven’t done so already. Next, there is no such thing as learning together when it comes to a green horse and green rider. You need to seek help from someone nearby. Young horses need the confidence that comes from an experienced rider. You would do well to send him to a competent trainer. Meanwhile, you should work to improve your own riding on a broke horse. Good luck!
@@PatnDebPuckett I am going to get rid of the bit and start over in a halter and ground work with him so we both learn. i really just can't afford to pay someone to train him so i am going use a natural horsemanship class at our local college. also i wanted to ask if investing in Buck Brannaman video and book collection would be worth my time in your opinion. to go along with your video and books i have ordered. Yes i am set on doing this so any help will be great
I haven’t watched any of Buck’s videos aside from the roping series so I can’t advise you on that. I can recommend that you watch all of our videos with Pat’s colt, Chinaco. Follow along with those steps and get in person support from your college class. Good luck and keep us posted!
We have many videos that cover this subject. Watch the playlist on The Bay Mare. Let me know if everything is cleared up after that: ruclips.net/p/PLqolZu7D-bMOMbkYpWIIIjFUs1HFAgYB_ And here’s an extra video to watch: ruclips.net/video/W-N2hmV_bNI/видео.html
For a colt, you have mentioned that you ride them on a bosal for a few years, after the bosal, do you transition to the missing link bit, and finally spade? Thank you sir, I’m using your videos and writing notes to make my very first/own bridle horse.
Yes. We start in a halter for the first 2-3 weeks. Followed by a 5/8 bosal, then 1/2 bosal, 3/8 bosal, two-rein, spade. Ideally the horse never has anything in his mouth except a signal bit.
Always enjoy your videos. Call me Crazy but I don’t like to let my horses watch a cow as they tend to turn every cow even the ones you don’t want turned back. Are there two trains of thought on this or am I just the odd one out here.
Every time I hear that phrase, I cringe! I know, I know. It's just words, but is it!? Kill two birds with one stone Do we ever give pause to think about our words. Perhaps we should. Where's "cancel culture" when you need it! P. S. I do love your videos and appreciate your vast knowledge and experience! Thank you!
Who in the world would give this video a thumbs down, and why??? There is so much valuable training information and philosophy here. Thank you, Pat and Deb.
I wondered the same thing. I can't figure out why someone would watch this and not learn something. Maybe they're "puss-gutted" and offended.
This is a great video to keep me honest and refer back too! The tendency to lose detail when asking creeps in very easily. Thank you Pat & Deb for another wonderful video!!!
I can watch and or listen to you at any time and I can learn from you and I thank you so much
Thanks!
You were reading my mind I was thinking to my self how many times will need to watch to soak up the info 👍
Excellent demo.
Loved the drone view at the beginning. The rest is pretty helpful too.

P.s. I've had him since he was 2, just to clarify. There's yeeeeaaaarrrs of bad riding on him. Yippee.
Thank you for that comment...brought a good laugh to our breakfast table 😆

Pat, what is in that second sorrel horses mouth with this method and can it be done in a missing link??

No. We do not use the Missing Link Snaffle when we make a spade bit horse.
@@PatnDebPuckett bosal then spade? Thank you
Jose...I think he will set you straight about his progression... watch old clips, but it is not in a bosal for a few years...
@@lesliejacobs1439 thank you!

What part of Tennessee and when will you be here
When you gonna be in TN?
It all depends on the weather and COVID-19.
put all ours in bosal's and mecate horsehair reins, keep soft hands and the horses seem to be doing very well
Wait till a green one tries you...
Finally figured out what the heck Pat meant by a "flat hand'
Orale! Muchas!
Always enjoy your videos. Call me Crazy but I don’t like to let my horses watch a cow as they tend to turn every cow even the ones you don’t want turned back. Are there two trains of thought on this or am I just the odd one out here.
We don’t have a problem with that. Our horses know which cow we are looking at because they are tuned into our body language. You need to focus.
What part of tennessee?
Middle Tennessee.
@@PatnDebPuckett I’m in middle Tennessee. I would love to meet you and work on my quarter horse?
