"any one can ride a bull from a barstool" I am learning so many great pieces of wisdom along with better ways to explain working with horses. Thank you Pat & Deb

Time means a lot. Indeed it does. I squat with abused horses and they immediately relax and step towards me, soon as I stand I become what hurt them. It's a journey, so it is. Many thanks, Rachel in Spain.

Used these principles today! Was able to bridle my horse who has always been a challenge! Thx

Boy am I ever great full to find this channel!

Kind of funny as he's talking about sight and smell that the dog walks up and pees on the post😂 I love pats videos because they're not so long and overcomplicated anybody should be able to understand them and apply the practices and have successful results I have yet to figure out if he is actually a true comedian or he is just one of those people that is just funny on their own either way his humor puts me in a happy place and I'm able to avoid having to go to group😂 5:30

Glad your horsemanship wisdom channel exists. I was working as a wrangler with a group who would mishandle this process by squeezing and cutting off the nostril airway, in order to install bridles. I left them due to this and am glad to see videos showing the right way to treat a horse.

Thank you so much Pat. Such good advice how to bridle a horse correctly. I never owned a horse that wouldn't take the bridle but I have know people who have.

Thanks for the tips of using the right hand to pull the bit up into the horse's mouth. I knew about how to slowly lower the right hand and let the horse release the bit. Hope the right hand will help me bridle my new horse

Thanks for braving the heat while doing the video. You guys are awesome.

Thank you for your patience with us ! Your wisdom is amazing and your willingness to share is more valuable than we can explain

"Building a rapport" Love the videos Pat

Pat the thing I like about your videos is your like me and do things traditional. I have tried for years to teach people about a cricket. It calms them and as they work the cricket they slobber which lubricants the bit so it moves smoothly in the mouth. If the bit is smooth in the mouth the less pressure it takes to get it to move. If you don't have a cricket you can wrap a Bull Durham sack with salt in it around the port. The horse gets salt he wants more so he runs his tongue over the sack to get more salt. I learned that from Ed Connell me and his daughter Leslie are still good friends. I know you know who that was. I think it's funny people say oh my God my horse slobbers all the time. So does it gross you out I don't see a problem. To me one of the worst hunks of junk ever put in a horses mouth was an aluminum bit. For me personally it's sweet iron. Whatever taste bad to us taste good to them that's why copper in a mouth piece. Really enjoy your work been doing this my whole life and I'm fixing to be 60. I've trained about every kind of horse there is except Dressage. Love that you are out there showing good basic horsemanship and no "MAGIC WAND." There's a line from an old Waylon Jennings song and it's the way I feel sometimes trying to teach people this. "You can still hear me preaching to the people who don't listen praying someone's gonna hear." Oh and almost forgot I'm in the Red Desert of Wyoming. I run the Rubby Knolls Ranch. 67,000 acres and almost 900 momma cows.

Thank you for your teaching, I have been able to replicate some of your advice and my horses have become more gentle and responsive, and so have I in our partnership. Appreciate your wisdom. Donna Vincent. New Zealand.

Pay attention to what this man is doing and saying. I can't emphasize it enough. He says, "knowing how to shoe a horse is good trading material". He is absolutely right. My farrier earns over $350,000 a year. If I were a young man or woman, I'd learn how to shoe a horse.

I'm hoping, got my fingers crossed that there's gonna be a prize for the first observant viewer who spots your extra in frame 5:19. Is that one of those Hollywood extras? What do I win? Don't tell me, my prize is right where the extra left it. I had to say that or I would've exploded. Of all ya'lls videos, this is one of my favorites. When I first saw it I showed it to my granddaughters so I could say "Just like I told you." After my husband retired we moved about 45 miles to down size our house and upside our acreage. We have 400+ acres in the Texas Hill Country. I wanted my grandkids to have some of what I had. 1. Be home by dark 2. Watch out for snakes 3. Don't leave the gate open. Close it behind you. 4. DON'T let the screen door slam. I do have a hoof question. I have two horses, older, their hooves are completely different. My gelding has cast iron hooves. He has lived and was a ranch horse in the rocks. My mare, a retired barrel horse, lived mostly in sandy country and I have to be very careful with her because she doesn't tolerate rocks barefoot. They both stay shod, but my question is; is the difference in them genetic, early environment, both or neither?

I've just found this KZfaq site about 2 wks ago. I have a lot of good trainers I like, but urs is GREAT!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to train us and our Horses!!

I tried to get one of my boys to become a farrier , he wouldn't do it. I'm learning lots here watching your videos. Wish I still had horse's to work with. Thanks.

Learned a lot from this video. Thank you.

Bud Williams, what a wealth of knowledge he had, I was a student of his Marketing school, wish I would of found him sooner. Great video sir thank you.

Gotta love the old cowboy wisdom. I subscribed cause he has some humor and good information

I just love this guy he's so patient just tells you how it is. I like that.

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I can watch and listen to you for hours! I hang on every word!

Words of wisdom! Thanks Pat! Love how you explain it all! I never knew about how your eye should be level with your horses eye! Gosh how I love your videos! Keep um coming! Thank you!

Thank you so much Pat and Deb for these videos. I'm starting two youngsters and for someone who didn't grow up into a horse knowledgeable family these vids have been fantastic 🌸💖❤❤🌺🌼 love from Australia.

All in the patient small steps on your terms and the horse's.

Awesome well thought out material

Wise words from a wise man. Thank You.

Thank you great demo step by step

Thanks for sharing. I needed this today. You guys are amazing! I really enjoy your attitude and passion for horses.

Bud Williams was one of my heroes to.

“When you get done shoeing a horse just lead him through mud; then nobody can tell what you did” This is the same ancient wisdom used to maintain the confidentiality of any top secret welds- just slap some mud over it and it’ll look great. “Looks good from my house” approved. Pat, I hope your neck is holding up. Be well partner. 🙏✌️

This was very helpful. Thank you.

Ooooo, my big boy has been making me work too hard to get his bridle on. Thanks for the reminder and training tips!

Thank you.Very much!.. Marie and my horse Tiki🐴🌺

This is fab...I need to pull up from right hand thank you very much

Thank you very much. I like this approach to bridling a problem horse a.lot.

Thanks for reminding people never to pull the bit out. Hitting their teeth causes them to fear the bit.

Very good explanation, I learned from you.

Omg this is soooo helpful! Thank you !

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I like Pat's work and advice. For SOME horses, I put a fly bonnet on them with the ear pockets on the bonnet. It helps get them more desensitized to being touched. I don't leave it on perpetually. I gauge it according to the horse and give them breaks from it. It can help a lot. Then I set my mind that nothing is a big deal and the horse just blends it in over time. I need to get that snaffle that Pat designed.

I've seen a few of those bar room bull riders get bucked off that barstool ! 😊 Now say that five times real fast! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

Just bought a Peewee bit, lovely piece of kit, bowed as is yours, but now I am sad I got it as I appreciate the noise, and significance, of the cricket.

Thanks for the video Great ideas

What a good horse.

And please could you have him do a video on how he gets the horse to be so respectful to him. I'm very curious.

She's a nice looking little mare. Nice eye and seems pretty sensible

I want to take the opportunity of this video to greet you Mr. and Mrs. Puckett. Thank you for continuing to upload videos and show us a bit of all the experience you have. but I would like to ask you if you can upload a video of how horseshoeing your horses. or who is the one that does the work of horseshoe.and what is the best way according to your experience thanks greetings and blessings.

Deb, You got a bug or goober on your camera lens - FYI. That mare is liking pat more and more.... Good session!

My son works on a big ranch in the summers when he isn't in college. He has one of the other cowboys shoe his string and teach him how to shoe. My son has done a lot of work for him in trade for the shoeing education. My son said the first time he did the nails his row wasn't straight and his friend said walk him through the mud no one will see a thing.

I want a chair like yours

I have this bit and a horse (IU have had him for almost 4 years now rescue TB cross) that fights because of his ears .. I end up unbuckling the bridle to ge tit past his ears. This helps thanks!

Would you be able to go through a portion of your bit collection and describe the mechanics of the different bits? Low ports vs high ports, different mouthpieces, etc

Ole hoss is'a watchin' when you want to get that bridle over them ears!

" Once again another Fantastic Video ! ... Thank-You !! .... I noticed all the time throughout the video Pat has his horse's neck curved to the Left. .... Is there any significance in this ???

Thanks for an excellent video and tips on bridling and an explanation of the Missing Link Snaffle. Pat talked a little about shoeing horses. How do you feel about letting the horse be barefoot or unshod?

There poll could be out too

Just great again. Thanks again. Whats the best way to deal with girth shy older horses?

What is the name of the bit please. Great video, thankyou

Great information Could you please send me a picture of the bit, and pricing? Thank you

..and again 👍

Onother great video, thank you mr. Puckett. I’m looking at your videos after some tips for a spooky horse , i’m Almost not too young (56) and my horse is a retired show horse (don’t know if you say that in English..he was jumping and dressage) i ride only outside and he is very afraid of monsters hidden behind the trees and birds flying from the busch....could you please give me a link for one of your video you re speaking of that,or just give me some ideas ? I would really appreciate, best regards from Switzerland, 🇨🇭 🐴👍🏻

What do you do about horses that are super flankey even touch the flank with your hand they take off bucking

Pat would the process be the same for a grumpy old senior horse? Lol

Never learn to milk a cow. We had a foal that was snake bit. Of course it was on the end of her nose so that the swelling prevented her from nursing. Some how my wife new how to milk a mare. So we would take turns milking the mare so that we could relieve her pain, keep her in milk and then use a syringe to get the milk into the foal. The foal is now around 12 years old.

What if they keep throwing there head up ? got a 15.2 quarter horse that I fight all the Time getting in a bit . I never try to force it but takes a while to get it in. Once it's in he's good but a little wore out .

Pat how much is the bit your talking about and is there close up pick of it ?

Deb, can you send me a link for the missing link snaffle bit?

What is the name of the Western bit he is recommending?

I have a question I have been inquiring about for a long time, I have heard for years to fully calm and break a horse you must lope the crap out of them. Is this true? Or must you just simply put miles on them no matter the speed?

I like to ride my filly better in a rope halter, because of the way she roots and throws her head with the bit I have. But what I'd like to know, in your opinion, should I be looking into her teeth being a problem or is it because she's got a dink for a trainer? (Me) She sometimes throws her head with the rope halter and she throws her head in the pasture, when something bothers her. Something on the wind, a deer, a yowling cat... That head flings up. She was given to me as a weanling, so I know she's not had any dental work done. I'm on the fence about pulling wolf teeth, cuz I'm ignorant. Thoughts from any and all with more experience than I?

Back in the day i rode a lot of bulls from a bar stool.I am sure glad i stopped riding.I think i was full of bull but now i'm all better.

Hosses is ADHD!! Got alla this sensory input comin' in all at once!
