I hope you won’t take any video down. I watch them over and over again enjoying and correct myself where it’s needed. God bless you ,your family and your horses ❤
I get mesmerized watching these videos. I always stay until the end. This one gave me the idea for a Big Timber cross over show.
This is a man that has his stuff figured out
best horse training videos on youtube. by far.
Love your wisdom and how you explain topics. Thank you!
I almost enjoy the history and class lessons as much as the riding. Keep up the videos.
We need more "cowboy philosophers" and down-to-earth possessors of wisdom like you! I love your articulation on how the rancher and the environmentalist have more is common than commonly recognized ... complete with the your teaching on the herd effect on the land! My son just pointed me to your channel. Thank you for your work!!
Sir. Your explanation and argument for grazing our open land is spot on. Here in Florida we have similar battle.
Hi Pat, your water, animals and grass theory, has been proven to work well time after time over in Africa. There is a documentary about it on RUclips.
Larry in Australia for 50,000 yr,s natives in Australia burnt off in late winter and U would decrease fuel levels in bush then there was no wildfires now the government restrict and stop burning off they want wildfires so they can blame Climate change and make it difficult to manage cattle properties! Green dream climate change fools managing things they know nothing about!
I'm a born and raised Californian. This state has changed so much and not for the better. Voters need to think like you and I Pat. The politicians they are voting in don't think like you and I. Unfortunately it is getting harder and harder to live here, financially and socially. Thanks for your videos
Thank you very much for the videos. I really enjoy watching you work with the horses, the lessons on the equipment, the history but being in ag for over 40 years I think you are really on to something with your thoughts on the eco system. I have always found that most times if people quit shouting at each other and work together things work out a lot better. Keep up the good work
Very Good! Holistic Management and the Savory Institute agree with you!
Good point .
I enjoyed your videos.
Such wisdom , thank you so much 😊 !
Man of many hats!
Boy howdy: you are sooo correct about the effects of grazing! And hat switch was Brilliant!
You make good sense to me....love your videos.
Very wise words.
An excellent observation sir I couldn’t agree more
You are so on point. Here in Manitoba Canada we have groups that buy land to “preserve “ it. They band grazing and it took about 10 years to destroy it
ABSOFRICKINLOOTLY ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍 👍
I wish more people thought like you.
Thank y'all for another great video.
James from North Central Texas.
One of the last Great Horsemen, Thank you 🙏 How Blessed am I to Learn Things from You Sir about horses and life.
Thank You

Having a good backup on any horse is essential. Excellent video Pat.
in the north state i hear lamenting about the loss of zillions of bison...two minutes later i hear the complaint about the millions of cattle.. i'm old enough to stick a disapproving gaze of amazement
Pat for president!!
Learned some tricks thanks!
Not to mention soil health with the animals putting nutrients back into it, I like this video alot, thank you.
-Small, small time cattle rancher, lovelock Nevada.
Here in my Sierra Nevadas, Southern Spain, top soil runs off nowadays, in a rainfall, because the olive groves are flattened so the fruit can be mechanically harvested. Farmers used to drill between with their mulos, and plant the garden veg between olive trees. Win win. Now chemical weed killers mess the whole deal up. If they started using mules again the country would recover in so many ways. But self sufficiency is still seen as poverty living by many Spanish, so, what's happening is its foreigners who are developing ecological living more than locals. Young Spanish in the south less likely to go into farming having seen such hardship in that way of life back thirty /forty years ago.. More people every day. Ain't that a fact. Keeping out of the way of the horse is so important, I appreciate your teachings greatly, saludos, maestro. R
This channel is awesome because we get history lessons and cowboy wisdom in addition to horse sense. But I want to comment on population, world population is decreasing slowly. People are having less kids and young people dying too soon is way up (that’s a topic for another day). I had a. Theory that working in agriculture would be highly profitable some day since less people work making our food every year. It seems that with the decreases in world population that the situation is evening itself out so to speak. I left my 2nd career (airline pilot after retiring from the military) to farm and ranch. I’m only surviving the current economic crisis because I have a military retirement pension.
Thx Sir for sharing ... oh, and i love his sarcastic peaks while telling the truth ... :-)
Let us pray that the powers that be would hear your wisdom and make the changes in legislature . God Bless you and your bride.
Love your sense of humour Pat! To many tree huggers and environmentalists these people need to get out of their house or out of the office and see the real world to understand what’s going on. Love your videos keep them coming
I tried to like this video twice but it won’t let me. Well put sir
We look forward to seeing you in April and again in May! Spots are filling up quickly!
Reed,
How do I go about getting a spot. I'll be in the midland area about that time of year and would love to be there. Many thanks from North Texas
You can email Reed at reedsykes@gmail.com .
I liked you because you're a good horseman and teacher, but i love the common sense environmentalist. The positive effects from good herd management. cudo's!
Your visual example was excellent. I have used that simulation debating State officials claiming horse trails need to be closed in certain areas . I get it but I believe that wood bikes , motorcycles tires are like a skill saw and adds to trail erosion far greater than hoses hooves .
Being a prior dirt bike rider/racer and a horseback rider I will say you’re definitely correct. The bikes are much more destructive. Being a firefighter I would also argue that the trails of both can and have stopped small fires so it’s not all bad as some folks are lead to believe. . The forests here are so mismanaged and overgrown anymore that even a small fire gets out of hand very quickly! However lower intensity fires also promote more healthy growth when administered correctly. Unfortunately our forests are probably realistically beyond that point now. thanks to the extreme environmentalists groups out there making that impossible. Their stereotyped name is an oxymoron of sorts to those with any common sense.
Talking with Pats father one day I discovered the old time ranchers (way before my time) would light fire on the way out while moving the cattle out for the winter. He mentioned how much less brush and more grass was available. Well now we have grass brush and trees and it’s a ladder affect creating the perfect storm for fires. Where as grass bumping into trees isn’t nearly as volatile. Made perfect sense because grass always grows again after fire and the chemicals in the ash do help promote new growth in the smaller plants and grass. I’m sure there weren’t all the houses around back then like now so that was probably easier to do as well. He mentioned the trees weren’t all dead and dying like now pointing to the trees on the hills behind his place. . Being a fireman he questioned why we don’t do that more often. Well .. money for one and lots of environmental hoops to jump through are just a few reasons. Besides money and staffing there are houses everywhere now. . The other main reason is people In positions of power are clueless....Pat identified them as environmentalists lol He nailed it in his explanation completely if you ask me. When a man older than yourself draws in the dirt you know he’s passionate and knowledgeable about the subject at hand and you Best be listening! My dad used to do that and when he did I knew it was time to shut up and listen because reality was about to be spoken! More people need to think this way and be this way if you ask me!
this is TRUE.
That is really good, how you do things around your home
Greg Judy just said the same thing on his vlog, great minds think alike.
Once again, you show that you are truly a national treasure Pat. I really hope that I get to ride with you some day. Do you ever get to the midwest?
I totally agree with you Pat. I live in Wisconsin where the Kettle Moraine forest runs. Between southern end and the northern end just about covers a little over half the state. The Kettle Moraine is very hilly, very woodsy but in this state every summer the state is taking logs, as well as cleaning the brush out. They do this so we do not have forest fires. Unlike the state of California where the people seem too be against cleaning the dead trees and brush out. Cause their it is dry as well. Here in May and June it is drier here as well. The state also carries out in the early spring intentional burns to stop the fires from starting on their own. Their is not a spot that the water is not traveling in a down hill direction even flat land drains. It is the city folk that do not have a clue as to what needs to be done. Not a clue! I think sometimes they do not know where their food comes from other than the grocery stores. I have to wonder if they can actually dress themselves in the morning. Well that is the way things are done here pretty much. I do like how you teach the younger people. Like now days they do not teach Civics, nor do they teach history. The way that they teach mathmatics is another world. They do no teach multiplication or division like you and i were schooled. It drives me crazy listening to my daughter telling me how her chilren are being taught. I think were going in reverse and someone has too pull back hard on the reins.🤔😎
We visited California years ago. Visited the sequoias. Great country and a grand landscape. Missed Bishop Mules day. ... We saw this nice far sized creek bed which stated Water the Property of Los Angles. We were some 600 miles from Los Angles. That is a big circle.
you are very right,,,,,,grazing animals save the land,,,
They complain about cow farts and forget that there used to be several millions of buffalo
Pat, I absolutely love your videos! What I would give to be able to ride with you. I really got a kick out of your theory of conserving rain water, it's the same lesson that Alan Savory preaches to reverse desertification (everyone should watch his TedTalk, it's eye-opening).
We have the same problem here in the east. They are telling us now we have to fence are cattle from the creeks. Because it is adding unwanted sediment down stream.
Yes graze
I used to live in Bishop, CA, and it saddens me to see how much drier it gets every year. We need a new strategy - NOW.
When are you two coming to Boise, Idaho? I would love to attend a clinic
Can you expailn the work of a cattle dogs?
Real Simple...Common Sense takes a back seat to the current political/societal policy's. Change is coming and hopefully back to views you have expressed and I believe in...
Are you all planning on being in the Montana area at all to run clinics this year?
We don’t travel to Montana at this time of year. We have plans to travel up to the Miles City area in next July. Keep an eye on our website after the New Year when I will post a tentative schedule.
He states that most people stay in the horses mouth with the reins is because they are scared. Though some are like that, my experience has been more that people stay on the mouth because they are not paying attention to their horse while riding, especially trail riding. This is because they are to busy talking to other riders! Some others, just accept not staying connected to their horse to enhance both horse and rider relationship. They are content riding a horse that doesn't buck them off or run away.
God made everything for a reason, and he made us the caretakers of his creation. You Sir are a caretaker, some of us humans haven’t learned how yet. :-)
Here in Eastern Pennsylvania money talks and common sense walks. The beautiful rolling hill farms are turning into high density housing, farm lanes are widen and turned into roadways.
How can I get more info on the clinic? Midland is only a short distance from where I live

Good evening you can email me as well at reedsykes@gmail.com. hope to hear from you soon we only have a few spots left.
Make water walk, do not let water run...be like water my friend.
We have the exact same issue in Australia and you've seen how that turned out
We are heartbroken to see the devastation. We will be in Victoria and South Australia in March and hope to be able to do some small service while we’re visiting.
Sequester carbon. Decrease surface water run off and erosion. Increase soil water holding capacity. Provide wildlife habitat. Feed people. Yes, sir, managed grazing is a wonderful thing. And you can ride a horse at work!
Can I like 29 times!
I maintain the biggest issue facing humans is not Climate Change (which is a given)....the biggest issue facing humans is Humans.
Oh, I get it. Stop the water. Back it up. Then do the same thing with your horse that you do with the water.
Soooo how do you plan to stop a earthquake when she decides to buck!
Way to simple for an environmentalist. We must hire a team of Ivy League experts to do a 20 year study to make sure no grasshoppers would be harmed.
We have to get past this kind of attitude. Environmentalists say much the same thing about ranchers. It has to stop and we have to begin a dialogue where both sides LISTEN to what the other has to say. It’s not good enough any longer to throw our hands in the air and claim that the “other side” just doesn’t get it. As far as I know, the “other side” doesn’t really exist. It’s all just “us.”
I have been put in my place. I just wanted to say we as a people sometimes overlook the simple and obvious answer.
@@PatnDebPuckett amen and thankyou from alabama
What you are talking about is called Regenerative farming. When the problems each ecosystem has is assessed and the system modified to match, it has worked very well in every state it has been tried in. There is a man named Greg Judy (hope that I got his name right) who has perfected what he calls "mob grazing" which is 400 cows on one hector of land for 24 hours. Then the cows are moved on to the next hector. The cows are not on the land long enough to tromp the grass down, but, that many cows put millions of hoof prints and fertilizer on the malnourished grass. This is what the buffalo used to do for most of the United States. Our land was rich and fertile back then.
Lucky for us bad science, big agriculture, and lots of baby making has created the mess this country is in. Scientist all know that the only way to fix this mess is to get rid of farting cows.
Let's all eat those eco-friendly fake meat burgers because they are sustainable.
Look up Ranching for Profit. Here we call it intensive grazing.
Ranchers and farmers are the original environmentalists and experts in land management ! How else would you explain 5 and 6 generations farming and ranching the same ground.... "Captain Obvious" keep using your platform brother... (Peyton Colo)
I sure wish I could get so,e of these northern California peeps on board with the grazing....it makes so much sense. But then again, they are pretty focused on making cows the scapegoat (scapecow?) And even their flatulence is adding to climate change. What produces the most carbon emissions in the world? Rotting vegetation in forests. If the envirodorks were serious wouldn't they have a plan to deal with the dead and dying vegetation? Of course not, because that would be work and not a bunch of jaw jacking with their hands in our pockets 🙄 ugh.
Regenerative agricultural. This is a proven method. Large portions of Africa and Australia have been restored by this method.
Your talking common sense...that wont' be allowed...lol
Biggest hocus pocus I've ever heard
