"If you don't have good hands, get 'em." Priceless advice. First order of business. Seen so many horses suffer needlessly with heavy handed riders.

Best rein control for a side pass I’ve seen.

Thank youy for sharing your knowledge with me!!! Omg than you so much for explicit directions on how to accomplish a side pass to the right!!!

Thank you for the most detailed explanation of the side pass that I have ever seen.

i appreciate the simple direct instruction. i also appreciate the tack holder tip at the end .

"Push the subscription button,number, something."😂. Made my day ha. Good video!

Thank you, I learned something...... One more thought, I've learned more from horses than I have given . Why are they so patience with us ???

Great explanation of the body mechanics for the rider.

Greetings from Jackson, WY - Really appreciate your subtle tips and emphasis on REAL horsemanship.

"for those who know geometry.. I am going around the curves because it's a round pen"

The cricket rolling under the tail! Where do you come up with this stuff, Pat??? You're on fire in this video!

Omg I’ve watched 100 videos and FINALLY someone who tells me exactly what to do with my legs and body!!! Ty so so much!!

For some reason I am not always getting a notification on the day that you post Mrs. Deb. I do still get them though, usually the next day. I really enjoy listening and learning from that funny old man you are hanging out with, ha ha. Happy belated birthday Mr. Pat. Thank you both for the effort that you put into teaching and entertaining us. For this channel, a Like button is not enough. It needs a Love button. Western Kentucky

Thanks again for the wisdom. And I’m assuming Deb does all the production work, so especially thanks to you. The thought of Pat editing videos puts a grin on my face.

Yay I tried it today, thank you 🙏… loose rein, body straight, look, add leg , one step rest breathe… try again it went so well ! 🙏

Be a fair leader. The best advice, thank you. I know we just met, but I like it 😜😂😎

Thank you for uploading frequently.

Pat, you my friend are a good instructor. The words you choose, the directions that you give cannot be miss understood. We all can learn things from a horse that has not been given a fair deal. You are 1000% correct about release. Release is a sugar lump too that horse and he responds way faster too a treat like RELEASE. It shows how respectful a man you are with a animal. Thanks you are a blast to listen to and watch. Your the best. You and I have both had good teachers. It is amazing what the animal teaches us. They are all different. God bless the honesty that you teach with as well.

I Just discovered your videos. Love your training philosophy. I am so tired of seeing over bridled training. This obsession with pivoting and backing hard and fast. All done with really low over tucked heads. Ridiculous. You are a true horseman.

What a great idea PAt!! With the leather piece to prevent a hang up!!! You offer lots of great ideas!

You are a great trainer!

That’s the best looking horse he has he’s beautiful

I love the dry humour and I am learning a lot. So glad I found you. I live in the south of Spain

Some of the things you say are so obvious I've been missing them for years. Sometimes I need the gentle reminder as well. Two of my take always from this video include the following. "The horse is searching." "Don't tip the head." When I first learned to side pass a horse I was told to tip the head away from the direction of travel. As you pointed out in the video that causes the horse to move its hind end. I've struggle with this for many years. I'm anxious to try this the way you said. Thanks for another great video.

On my way now to try the bit under the tail of my wife's horse . Thanks for the advice !

Great find. Love this man

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Pat.

Love these videos! Wish I had learned from someone like you all !

Love watching your videos. You are a wealth of knowledge and thank you for sharing!

you explain it so well. thank you

Great love step by step instructions and illustrations. Linda In OKLA city.

'I think it's becoming obvious that you're going to have to actually ride'....love this!!!! I'm learning to ride western after years of English and just trail riding sitting there doing nothing with the horse just following. I love learning Western and controlling the horse's body. Thank you for this video as I forgot if I had to tip the nose or not. I'll check at my next lesson what my instructor says!

Lol I love the ending, I like the way you use the fence I’m going to have to try it for myself thanks

" Thank-You Pat !! .... I love Your work." .... Vaya Con Dios !

Hi Pat! Absolutely love all of your videos! I find them so inspiring and refreshing. I really hope to one day make your acquaintance. Regards from South Africa!☆

Good job, as always, very helpfull, and clear, Thankyou

I'd enjoy hearing Pat talk about Taps; what, why, how, etc... Thank you both from Houston, TX -Mike

Thanks for all the great work Pat and Deb Your old bud Kurt Ilgen Sheridan Wyoming

Pat, I love the metaphor “17 reasons I do this is because I don’t like smoking ribs”. 👍🏻🇺🇸

I am new to your channel but I have watched you for about a year. Anyway I was raised by my Grandfather who had the sense if the animal did not pull their weight they were useless. In my young life I would ride what ever he told me to ride with direction or purpose. I do not fault him for this but I am now 63 and have realized what I knew all the time is that a horse is a special animal. A prey animal no doubt that you and he have to come to agreement that you both can work together. I have learned more by watching you in this past year than I have my entire life. I have all the respect for you and what you do. And I will add not knowing you personally, how do you tolerate all the yoyo's. lol I hope one day soon I can come out for a visit just to get to know you because in some sense, and I mean this whole hardily, You remind me of him so much. In a very good way.

I liked your all videos

Very Good Schooling for anyone . Thanks so much. Really Cool use for a wore out wrasp.

So valuable .. thanks for sharing your nuggets of gold yes please keep being redundant I need it my hands a getting better . .. slowly -

Excellent, thank you!!!

Who did you get those rasps from? 😜 Thank you for explaining how and what it should look like when you take pressure off with your leg. We are told that a lot and most people (me included!) thought that meant the exaggerated movement of sticking your leg out. Which is completely impractical for working cattle. Again, thank you for these videos! I share them with my family when I can! Happy Trails!

Been going back and watching some of your earlier videos like this one while we are still iced in up here. My round pen is thawed enough to use again so it won't be long until riding season gets under way again full steam but I wanted to say THANK YOU! for telling people not to tip the nose when you side pass on a working horse. That is a show ring thing, like drilling a hole in a spin is, and it(nose tipped side passing) is a big nuisance habit in a working horse when they tip their nose and or bend in a U-shape and can't see where they are going or what you are trying to accomplish work wise. Plus it make their hind end angle all wrong for actually getting anything done until they have straightened out. I would much rather work with a horse that doesn't know how to side pass then one who has the nose tipping habit trained into them.

You make me understand thank you

Super good instruction-

Horses are sensitive people are not, well said, awesome vlogs, hello from New Zealand.

I learn heaps from watching videos like these. But especially yours Pat and Deb 🙌😊. I am from Australia and I ride a 15.2hh, 10 year old OTTTB mare. She wasn't re-educated properly cause she leans on the bit at canter. This is partly the reason why I can't canter. So I am still a novice rider for now 😢 but oh well.

I have a lot of training to do. Going cross country someday on horseback. Call it my bucket list.

Thank you

Nice rope hangers at the end. Great way to use up old junk.

😆😉! Great video!

bukaroo police hahhahah, penso que eles existem de fato na internet.

Great, Robert Boggs

Under the tail...that is where a lot of riders heads are...no room for that bit!

Keep ‘me coming

👍🏼

Great 👍 anyone can see you’ve invested lots of time, curious if you’re familiar with Manuel campos out of San Diego?

👍👍

I'd like to know what you think about SLOW HAY FEEDERS for stall horses.

I notice you didn't comment about the front end moving, then the back end moving, etc. I get it, that the horse is just figuring this out, so you allow some loose movements. When camera was on your right - moving left - I could clearly see your legs. Didn't seem to move from center barrel, bump bump bump. If my horse swings his butt out, I correct by moving my leg back & bumping a little, to straighten him out. Is this correct in your opinion? Just received your Let's Dance DVD, btw. Looking forward to viewing it. Laurie

if you don't know Gil Favor ,,, you ain't no Cowboy 🤠 If possible ,and you will,love to see ,Halter training ,Both with an untouched 2 or 3 year old and a Weanling ! Thank you !!!

Excuse me...perfect.

Hi Pat what size is that wade saddle ? Looks like 15 1/2"..

What’s the name of that transition/colt starting bit and where would the best place to buy one be?

Deb, what can be done for a horse with a bad "barn buddy" problem. I am having a hard time getting through to one and getting him to focus on his job without him worried about what the rest of the herd is doing.

I know Mr Favors 🤠 head em up move em out

Hi Pat, how can I get some cricket bits

Breaking at the third vertebrae is bad will put her behind the bit eventually saw back and worse scenario kissing spine.

Do you ever have a problem with them freaking out and rearing up when you have them nosed up against the panels like that and are asking them to move sideways?

Under the tail haha

Gill favour raw hide

It's just too cryptic.
