"I make a real point to get the horn towards the front and the cantle towards the back." What a legend.

“Why are we here?…..It doesn’t matter.” OMG- you’re the greatest man ever. ❤

"Why are we here? Doesn't matter." LOL.

“ This mule, she could live on scenery” LOL. Now THATS what you call an easy keeper !

Oh my god I want to have a beer with this man 😂

"If you have a vinyl saddle or a leopard-print seat, we're pretty much done talking. This is nothing you want to hear." I laughed out loud! Love it.

Sir, aside from the volumes of information you have and you share so generously, the one single thing that you exhibit that keeps me coming back to hot videos is… you are real. You are who you are. That’s rare so days. Thank you!

It`s funny how older folks become less patient and just go straight to the point without any beating around the bush. :-)

I knew this was going to be a good lesson when Pat said, "First thing is you don't want a saddle that leaks..." Very good video, guys, and thanks for taking the time.

Horn front, cantle back...got it!😂

That’s keen saddling. Y’all had me at “saddling with politeness”.

Im just coming into horses. Im 3 years after this was made and extremely grateful for the time ya'll have taken to educate us. Many thanks and may God bless your family and preserve your way of life for future generations : )

That man right there knows a thing or two because he has seen a thing or two. Great video. I aspire to have that kind of wisdom on ANY subject one day.

I'm a custom maker 30 years, I like what pat is preaching, I'll add a couple thing from my experience to share. Gullet width and angle is the key. Get your saddles made or purchased with a 92.5 deg angle and 6.5" wide and you won't have an issue! Don't get confused by full, semi QH etc, there is no standard. As Pat says, you can pad up but never pad down. And do your best to order your horses with withers!!!

You don't learn all this in one day, thank you for sharing your knowledge

Hearing u talk reminds me of a old Cowboy that took me under his wing and taught me alot. I was 29 years old going through a divorce with a 4 year old little boy. I had been " breaking " horses for the public and had been the " crash dummy" for all the local " cowboys" or " good'ol boys" for the surrounding and two states... lol from time I was big enough to walk on my own. they'd sling me up on anything with a mane and tail with four legs ..I was like a hair in a bisket...up I went and school turned out when the dust settled I was still on the horse barn may have been destroyed but I was still there and me and the horse both thinking " got to be a better way" ... with my life falling apart at home they were my friends ...I've always felt close to horses and knew in my heart there was a better way.. if I wasnt workin in field or farm (I belive I was only kid that prayed for rain 😉) I'd slip off and crawel under someone fence ... anyway when I got to " training " them they taught me as I taught them so to speak...ahhhhhh anyway. I thought I knew horses...even was walking up to this Cowboy with the Title : " This is Kelly she is a trainer for blah blah blah snore..... sorry I written a novel here just st to ask u did u ever meet a Cowboy named Linus Thorton (L.A.) at one time had ranch Grandview Lnd and Cattle... He truely came to me in a time of my life when I was on the edge. . He saw something in me. Put me to work and changed my life . In him I found " The way" . He showed me how to work with the horse. In his words "got to be smarter than the horse." . He use to say when u come through those gates up there leave them damn phones and watches in truck. Cows and horses cant tel time.. u got something to do done even put a kack on nothing out here." Ud better. not let him catch ur horse wringing his tail (spurs are an extension of ur heel not a weapon ) if he caught ya.u pushed and worked cows on foot... he would say " GO SLOW U'LL GET A MORE HORMOUIOUS OUT COME😳) u get in there in. Hurry horse gets flustered cows get flustered u might as well quit cause any nothing good can come from shaken up a dr pepper with the lid only screwed two turns. All that pressure gonna go.. then " SCHOOL TURNS OUT".... He passed away not to long ago..I took care of horses and cows here in Tenneessee he was on ranch working cows belive in Texas.. never asked him but I belive he was in his late 70s .. rode every day he had a BAD hurnina in stomach .he use to steer wrestle and steer trip.dont see that compition much... oh anyway I'll quit hindering yalls eyeballs.... Thank yall so very much for ur videos and taken the time and work to make them and shre them..sorry again for the novel..I miss him and was setting waiting for next truck to back up to load. Letting every thing take. deep breath and had him on mind when I saw ur video...

I find watching Pat and Deb's videos strangely comforting and enjoyable. I love Pat's dry humor and expressions. I own horses and always discover something new every day I'm around them. Thanks to Pat for showing me different ways to do things and for sharing his experience and wisdom.

I always listen to old timers when it comes weather, cows and saddles. Good stuff

You’re killin’ me! ‘We’re pretty much done talking..’ 😂😂

Anything titled Common Sense with Pat is always a good lesson! Lol that would be a new video series. The world needs more common sense in it

“......Get one that doesn’t leak.” 😂😂😂😂😂

Wish I would’ve seen this video sooner. Could have saved myself a lot of money

The Great part about Pat n Debs videos is,,even if its information im already aware of,its entertaining to hear his take n presentation...Maybe Pat has already addressed it in a previous video,but i want to point out to viewers,the position pat is in,when he reaches for the cinch...

His love of horses and the Responsibility of caring for them, really comes through this video. Properly train, a rider can become a horse’ best friend.

I love the Californio way, I find myself always in a hurry when it comes to catching, saddling and getting going. Your horses are friends and coworkers. As stockmen we should all take a little more time for our equine partners. We’re not much without them. Thanks Deb and Pat for all the insight.

“I am not a saddle maker but I can read” 😂 lol

This man is a true gem

Wool is the way to go on your saddle blankets specially if they are made of virgin communist lamb 🤣🤣😂😂🤣

What an empathic, funny and (most of all) full-of-experience review on how to saddle-, cinch- and pad-up your hores. Just amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing!

OMG THIS GUYS NEEDS TO BE ELECTED PRESIDENT !

Thank you Mr. Puckett! Been a long time since I've heard plain language and it was wonderful to me. ('bout laughed too loud to be respectful at the "horn to the front & cantel to the back" comment though)

Oh Pat .... your a national treasure. Love you, and Deb, your quotes, and your knowledge. Thank you.

in my remaining years I wish I could hang out with Pat.

I just love listening to Mr. Puckett. These videos are great. Especially love his commentary on the Code of the West

I’m glad to see somebody else liking thoroughbreds!

I hope after a few more birthdays your memory is still sharp. You don't want to forget which side of the horse you trimmed shorter, and come home on the wrong side of the mountain, you may roll all the way down! LOL!

I really appreciated this lesson on using one saddle for multiple back types. My horses are all different. I have always wanted a Wade tree but I need a narrow seat. Tough to find without a custom order. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Love your sense of humor. Very good information.

I found out the hard way that a heavy felt pad aint all they're cracked up to be. It scalded a horse after a hot long hard day. The horse wasnt sore but white hairs showed up later at the bottom of the pad where the cinch was. Thanks from Medicine Hat Alberta

Based on my limited horse knowledge your horse Shoshone is a Belgium Warmblood mix. He is incredibly strong, big eyes and handsome. I love him to death and I will be interested in his continued education. Growing up we had such a horse to take us to school after a blizzard. He would plow through the snow without effort proud of his strength. He was great on trails and would excell in the mountains and roping. On a different matter two weeks ago, while at a show in Calgary I seen a mule/Beligum mix. The owner told me he was still mischevious but had a good heart. Most mules I have met had a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Keep up the excellent work. Very impressed with your channel.

Thanks Pat. Great video. I learned a lot.

He is hilarious. He just slips those jokes in like putting the straps in their keepers. And yup I think he's tired of showing basics. 💖⭐️

Lots of great information as always. Love your videos!

Love the demonstration ,and your sense of humor . Great video !

Brilliantly explained, thanks from Wales UK.

Thanks, very interesting. Duncan, AZ

You're awesome. Thank you.

Bless you for sharing your knowledge and experience! You and Deb are treasures.

What a great video! Your videos are so down to earth and have so much good information.

Great demo Pat. Nice camera work Deb. Common sense and experience is the key to success.

I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!

Love your attitude and knowledge! Apache Junction, AZ

Humor in fine form today! Great lesson too.

Always love watching and learning from Deb and Pat Puckett.

thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Great video as always. It's really good to see that video notification in the morning and get to have another informative visit with the Pucketts. Mighty cold here in Saskatchewan Canada this time of year, don't do much with our horses other than feed them, but these videos keep me excited about the riding season to come, when I'll be able to continue putting much of this info to work. Really appreciate it, thanks!

"Now, he has no idea I'm telling this on this computer deal, I just tell what I know"...LOL!!! this guy is awesome.

I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you both for taking the time to educate us. I really enjoy the videos.

thanks Pat for your time and trouble !

Thank you for sharing your story love from Sweden 🤗😊❤🙏🇸🇪

Lots to learn thanks pat very informative 👍

Great 👍 job Pat 👌

Great video it feels like I’m sitting on a bucket having a talk with you guys

Thank you for your teaching.

Many thanks a detailed explanation , much appreciated.

Thanks Pat really enjoyed that one

There’s some amazing advice on this video. I’ll be watching it three times.

Thank you , very informative and interesting , Dave JONES, Scottsdale, Az.

My kind of man straight forward and real

Yeah! That's all I have to say about that! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

Thank you for making these videos. I've learned a bunch from you.

Even with my silly plastic saddle the info still applies - change the padding for the horse/mule, more pad out front, the three-part breast collar, tightening the cinch in increments, and keeping a clean saddle pad. Only recently, however, I started using a felt liner under whichever pad i need. It's thick enough it doesn't bunch up, easy to rinse, quick to dry, and more economical to replace than the main pad. But I've got to admit, I'm ready for something besides my plastic endurance saddles. 😁

I learn a lot from your no nonsense videos. Thank you for taking the time to impart your experience. And Happy Birthday.

Thank you for great words of wisdom.

Great information. Its been alot of years since getting a saddle and finding all kinds of information but its all different. Your chat makes more sense to me and what i have done/used over the years.

Outstanding, thank you.

I like that back cinch tie down on the mutton wither. That can come in handy for more than one scenario when you have to batten down the hatches.

Great video Mr Pat. Very informative and funny. Horn to the front. Cantel to the rear. LoL

Great video! Thanks!

Thank you. Great video. JB Chesterfield. England

Da Beans concurs. Perfect info, for experienced folks, and those just starting out. The why's...the how comes and the what if's all addressed.

You and Deb are special people. I am learning so much since I wasn't raised in cattle work or around horses.

Watching this for the second time. Thanks for the advice. I find myself watching your videos more than once on the regular.

Thank you so much for making this videos! I love learning from people that actually live this lifestyle and work with horses everyday. There’s an unattainable amount of information we can learn from people like you. It’s hard to find true cowboys east of the Mississippi, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!

This is the best saddle fit demonstration I've seen,Thank You for posting 🤎

another brilliant video, my thanks to the puckets

Thank you sir for passing on this knowledge.

Excellent video.

Watching from Morehead City North Carolina. Originally from Amarillo Texas. I enjoyed your video. 🏴‍☠️

thank you as you just answered several questions for me...

Wow ! So very interesting , what talent is shown here , thank you for taking the time to explain ! Stay safe ! Bob

I have a high withered TWH. I have had a time finding a saddle to fit her! So this video has really gave me something to think about! I love your way!

Perfect video, thank you for making every word count.

Hi from Dublin in Ireland - just found your videos and love them. Love your easy manner and respect for your animals. Bravo :)

I love the information in your videos as it's very good and helpful for all levels of folks, but the commentary is why I keep watching. You're hilarious!

Very enjoyable to watch and learn.

Good information!

I can't wait to watch the videos in take in all the great knowledge man

This is just great 👍thank you!!!😀

Nice job. Reminds me of my dad teaching me when I was a kid. I really enjoyed this. I needed a non-stressful time out. This was it.
