Hey Dewayne, I am a 23 year old from Florida. I'm not a cowboy or anything but i absolutely love watching your videos where you are giving out wisdom. I know your channel is mostly about wrangling but you should do more of the life advice videos because I know I really enjoy listening to your advice. Its nice to hear from a real man for once in a world filled with little boys.

34 years here, from France. When he says, "Good morning!" with that deep voice, my brain goes into full attention mode. This man has the gift of toching souls! Gets you to listen and relax, even the horse gets relaxed and sleepy 🥱 😴

As a 26 y/o with no father just leaving the Army, these are things I’ve missed learning in my life. I wish I had wise words like this sooner but it’s never too late 💪🏻 Stay strong men

There's a lot of strongly stated opinions and ideas in these comments, so I'll throw one out as well. Keep sharing your lessons learned, to help those who otherwise don't know how to find wisdom. Thank you.

It wasn't the saddle that was making that horse want to fall down,. I think it was his calm demeanor and the sound of his voice. Also, they are recalling Butterball turkeys because they forgot to butter the balls.

“If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well”. Exactly what my Granddad used to say. Great to hear those words again. Interesting lesson on frugality Vs cheapness. Going to try to apply that one. Thanks.

"Frugal is a positive trait. Cheap is not. Frugal is not spending money on things you don't need. Cheap is spending as little money as you can get away with on things you do need." "So much of your horsemanship is your state of mind. It's your view--how you approach it." Both of these statements are very well put, and I am going to pass that on. When you were talking about the spurs, you addressed some of the "tender people" out there. I always tell those opposed to spurs, that you will see more people misuse a bit and tear up a horse's mouth than you will see people misuse spurs; and many of those that misuse a bit are the same ones who complain about spurs.

Be Mindful that even if you don't work with horses, these core principles will help with women as well, think deeply and reflect.

I am a woman who is a new subscriber. Although I know very little about horses, I accidentally came across your channel and I’m so glad I did. I have binge watched a lot of them for the wisdom and the valuable life lessons that you provide. I just want to say thank you!!

Lucky is the person who gets to live by his principles.

Whoever is filming this has the most steady hand I have ever seen in my life.

Dwyane....there is only a couple times in my whole life that I ran into a horse with Narcolepsy. Now I'm not saying that little mare has it but you might want to study up if you're not familiar with it. I'm tellin' you they go to sleep, wakeup in a whole new world and panic. If you keep their attention they are fine, but let 'em go to sleep, (which can happen even when you're riding them), they can blowup for no apparent reason from our perspective. Just a heads up. Keep up the good work.

Howdy. I'm an old woman, no horses nor cowboys. But I also love your philosophy and wisdom. I'm even using some of your training tips to help with my dogs! Blessed Be.

Horseback situational awareness. Love it. I know some people that could use that info just walking. Great information.

Hi Dewayne… I’m over here in Mt. Airy, NC. The real Mayberry. I’ve binge watched these videos and my wife is picking on me because I’m quoting Dewayne all over the house. I’m 46 and have a 15 year old. Lots of the stuff you are sharing is good for my boy to watch. My dad passed 20 years ago and was a welder… I was too busy running wild and chasing the Grateful Dead back then. Missed a lot… I love how simply you put things. I’m no Cowboy, but as a sober member of AA for 14 years, I find lots of your “Cowboy” and “Old Ways” philosophies refreshing and on par with the life I try to lead today. You are not much older than me, but man you remind me of my dad and it’s hitting a place I needed someone to hit. Take care

I grew up with horses and never saw A horse with narcolepsy? Or, did you just get her up too early? She's awfully patient with all your jawin'! Wonderful video and excellent content! Thank you.

I don’t own a horse & most likely never will. But I love listening to your expertise & watching you demonstrate your craft. Well done, sir!

I never heard that phrase, "take the bit". It makes me think of our relationship to God and how sometimes we refuse to take the bit and let Him guide us. But when we do take the bit, He is not cruel with us. He is gentle and thoughtful. Same could be said for our kids. We try to guide them, but they will resist. If the give in and listen, don't take that as an opportunity to badger them for all the times they didn't listen. There's so much wisdom packed up in these videos.

Always dropping great life philosophy like the frugal vs cheap - something for my note book of wisdom 🤓

I'm no expert but consistency in reprimands and rewards has worked wonders with really difficult horses. I've had a neglected horse who bit and kicked show affection within two months.

I can’t even begin to explain how much these videos have helped me become a better human being as well as man. Thank you for everything you do Dwayne

Amazingly beautiful creatures our creator YAH Most High had made. Thank you for all your work and advice.

Another excellent video. I work at a riding stable with a lot of guys who are really heavy handed with horses. They’re always jerking the horses head instead of asking for it, default is to yank & spur & they wonder why the horses are about to blow up… I was always taught calm guiding hands … spurs aren’t a weapon. I wear them & rarely touch my horse with them… I usually get put on the “ difficult” horses at work to get them ready for guests & I have no issues. It’s ugly before it’s pretty at times but I’m a firm believer that quiet hands make quiet horses.

She's a beauty, very quiet. It looked like she was dozing off a bit, then waking with a start. I wonder if she has some issue that's a little more medical in nature than behavior?

These videos make my day. I'm still working to have your temperament on a daily basis. Thank you Sir.

That back ground look like my dream heaven . Jesus bless u and family Love from Asia ✝️🙏

So funny, she’s not spooky just sensitive ( as she falls asleep and goes down…) Obviously she trusts you two, which is GREAT. I’ve trained and ridden for fifty years now and it’s a pleasure to watch you use many of the same techniques that I have using common sense, solid logic that is both sound and flexible. That mare is going to be a really nice ride.❤

You are a wise man. I really appreciate your videos. God bless you, my friend. A big hug from Valdivia, Chile. Thank you very much for your videos.

Thank you for your reference to Billy from Family Circus! I grew up on those books! You are right about Billy!!! LOL!

Glad to see more horse lessons. You life lesson are great but what you do on your horse also applies to life.

Beautiful horse

Thanks Dewayne for your insight. Your videos came up in my recommended. I don't know why or how but I am grateful for your wisdom

This video isnt about training a horse, its about life!

I'm from Minneapolis Minnesota and I have never even touched a horse. I watched and enjoyed every minute of this. Thank you

Good stuff, as always, Dwayne. I like that three zone approach. Never looked at it like that.

This is so fascinating. Even the bit at the beginning about how to train a horse so she doesn't pull back. And I remember a horse once that had a problem with legs buckling if the girth was done up too tight for her. And you break down your explanation so it is really clear to understand. I do hope you continue these step by step teaching videos, really superb. And it's u 've to follow the story of this little mare too.

Thanks, Dewayne. I've never spent much time around horses, but I'll definitely be working on this in my communication with other people.

Awesome video, thank you sir

I'm glad I happened upon your channel...you make a lot of sense

Dono I'mdono 1 minute ago I love your videos. good old fashioned wisdom. I heard a saying once; knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. wisdom is knowing to not put it in fruit salad. your approach to thinking through ideas to reach the common sense and simplicity is gold

Another excellent video guys! Thanks for do this. Helps to reinforce my training I got from Dewayne! Take care… Jon

New subscriber and watching for the wisdom born of life experience. Thank you for sharing.

This is my first time watching your video…I have to say that I love all the valuable information you teach here! Keep up the good work!

Great words of wisdom.

Thank you so much Dewayne and thank you to your wife for making these videos. After hours of wrench turning, broken machines, and braying mules, what you share sure does help.

Your videos (I stumbled upon accidentally) are demonstrated beautifully. Im not a horse person but learning so much. Thank you! 🐴

Soul food these videos. Many thanks.

Thanks for the great video!

you are like a role model man i love watching your videos thank you man

This is the good stuff. Very insightful. It may seem simple and basic but it’s foundational.

Thank you for this!

Thanks for sharing the reality and your wisdom.

I like listening to you. Your voice is like Don Williams. Rumbly silk.

Just your voice calms me down. I'm such a little kid! Thx you

Great video! Thank you 👍

Thanks, Dwayne. Great video. Beautiful land in the background.

I really love listening to this guy talk :)

I watch every video you make. And I get something out of every one. But these types right here are extra awesome. As someone who's working on my horsemanship, these are priceless. I've gotta get out to a class. I'll be waiting for you to move up north.

First horse video i've seen after watching some of the cigar videos, and i can really see how this profession contributes to the man being so humble, respectful and realistic, among many other invaluable character traits. I can see how working with a wild and powerful animal like this teaches and maintains those values. These are important human skills that we risk losing in the pursuit of safety and predictability. Also makes me reflect on how respectable the old school cowboys must have been, as complete human beings, not just brutal gun-toting tough guys.

Greetings from Chile! Thank you sir for your advices!

I Love your aesthetic brother 👍 Your words are a blessing.

it’s so refreshing to hear him talk when i go to a school in florida and everyone’s ego is absolutely through the roof

Love your stuff my friend!

This is an outstanding video!!!!

Love what you are saying!!

3 zones; interesting term. Always thought of it as: reins area & saddle area , but like the approach. Thanks to you & Momma for the video , oh & Sweet Jane ,

AWESOME TIPS. GOD BLESS.

Thanks , you tutorial really helps me reconnect with my goal of living and working with the wests best mode of transport and best friend

Great point on the weight aspect. What something weighs to us, is a 10th of what it weighs to them. Agree 100%. Slide the saddle up towards the poll 3-4” please.

This was really good. Especially when you worked out her issues on breathing/ circulation, because of the tightness of the Latigo, cutting of her circulation vein. A lot don’t about this. 👏🏼

I was taught as you do Good good refresher, thanks

This is the first video I've seen Dewayne on a horse. It's great. Makes my heart sing. To live this life has always been my dream.

Somehow I was unsubscribed from your channel. Boy am I glad to be back! Lost yeah right around the fencing videos. Thanks for your general common sense… I’ve been looking over what I’ve missed and got to thinking how glad I am I’ve got your channel to show my boys so that they can see what a proper gentleman is and how to conduct themselves. Thanks for being the example I strive to be Duane.

That is a beautiful horse from Los Angeles California never even seen one up close

Thank you good work👍

Thank You Ser

Less is definitely more! Well worth remembering, especially with sensitive horses. Bet I've confused a few, sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing. Great video- thank you. I had a narcoleptic TB mare- she'd do the same thing your little lady demonstrated. Would sometimes even face-plant on the rail or out in her paddock, never while I was on her. She too was sensitive, and also very reactive. These sudden episodes seemed totally contradictory to her character. Used to wonder if she cat-napped to compensate for all the energy she expended staying alert. Wish I could've listened to you years ago, quite sure I was guilty of setting her off by doing too much. Wise words, my friend. Keep 'em

I love your gentle way with the horse. Appreciate your sharing your knowledge with us. Are u all liking Tn?

I'm happy you exist.

Amazing how she got bridled. Big change from May of 2022. Proof positive what your teaching is solid and works. Looking forward to more videos.

Enjoy your videos, cheers from Ireland

Yes sir Your life advice is very nice Lovely videos thank you

I watch you from Massachusetts and I always watch your videos.

Good video Dewayne. I enjoyed it.

Great video as always

Video quality looks great

Once again another amazing video

I haven’t used many roping horses that like spurs.Usually just shifting your weight forward,give em their face,and a heel tap,& you’re going from 0-40 mph.in 2 seconds out of a roping box.

Nice video sir! Greetings from México!🇲🇽

One thing I have learned is that many different people have different ideas of what a finished horse is. I know of one place would would call a horse that has literally just been backed and long reined a bit a schooled horse even though their strides are awful etc canter and trot are not developed when to me that is insane. And i know of guy (who is a good horseman) who would call a horse that has been clearly pretty well schooled who you can lengthen or shorten their stride and set them up for a fairly high jump , entirely unfinished. So even really good horse people can have very different ideas of what finished is.

You're so good!

Those 2.5-3yr olds can be a lot of fun and very rewarding. It’s all about PRESSURE with horses.

That horse is so me right now. Sooo sleepy

Hi there Mister!

Good information

Dry Creek Wrangler School It appears there is a weakness and a mid placement in her front right leg. Also some muscle mass loss where it connects to the blade of the shoulder. I suggest there is care and attention given to her possibly having torn or damaged ligaments that may have been undiscussed in your transaction, and causing her issues. As well as a defensive pain response.

I have somehow missed this episode. Very well put. My family raised Quarter Horses & Appaloosas. Two totally different horses, but, the basics are all the same. Repetition, consistency, & patience; The perfect recipe. I, as well, trained all my Labradors for retrieving, especially ducks. No “forced” learning. Only firm straight commands. Folks aren’t that much different. You deal with that with each class you & Momma provide. This is totally off-base. Would it be possible to get a bridal, reins, & bit with your signature. I’m 64. My wrangling & hunting days are over. I’m decorating my living room with an all western/cowboy theme. I have a saddle, shoes, & some vintage art. Anything that you could help with, would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be more than happy to reimburse you for the items. If possible, please advise the best way to contact you. I want this display to be the real deal, so, wear is good.

She's a beautiful horse.

You have great videos. You've stated that simplicity, clarity and qualitative appreciation is all that it takes to be happy for an 'old fashioned' human. But is your soul satisfied? Forget about your body being gratified, is your soul satisfied? Answer this question, and my Being will respect you. However, if this question remains unanswered, then my Being might hypothesize that you may not know an actual horse - from his head to his tail. Zone 1: Zone 3.

Your ranch is beautiful.
