Why is there grass growing in that round pen? Was it purposely planted?

I think you cut out the part where you put on the hobbles and side line....

Well I got an opinion on that...

All ya'll are wrong. If you have rein chains there is a pre signal to the bit. Also the lifting of the reins is a pre signal. If no rein chains it depends on how tight your chin strap is. The length of the longer shank adds power to your leverage not speed to contact assuming the short shank has the same design as the long shank. Just my ignant opinion.

My pet peeve is spurs out on the town and dancin boots.

Great info! Bret I’m looking for a solid heading horse…… ! Do u have any connections we could talk about? Or Have with you in Victoria? We’ve got a couple now, but not working out We need guidance We’re working with a fella in Graford Tx up by Dallas presently, but thought we’d check with you as well . How’s your program working out down there? Any older horses for sale? Am I barking up the wrong tree thinking you could help us in contact with some you trust to head us in right direction? I don’t know the bloodlines we should stead clear of as roper possibilities. Don’t want the maintenance of training a 3/4 yr old……or time it takes to do properly Sooo Maybe you could advise us of bloodlines to atleast not buy? Do u still own Paint? Please let us know if you’re with offer us some advice. Hope alls going well for yall. Didn’t know how else to connect you….. Thanks a ton 🌟

Interesting , my yearling has Z swirls, he is lovely but matches your description a fair bit. Especially when it rains

Coffee and Jim Beam. I had an uncle who was a POW. He had that for breakfast every morning and would pour me one occasionally. I was the happiest kid in homeroom.

This comment section only drives his point farther....Trainers actually keep some of their clients in a snaffle because the riders flat out dont understand and never will. If the rider doesnt understand the concept of leverage bits, why expect them to be able to use one. People in here tripping over the mouth piece and missed everything else.

Inside leg to outside reign?

They also would buy Levi’s that were way longer than they needed, because it was the same price as the one’s that fit. They would roll up the extra into a cuff and save that extra for patching material!!

I’m just a shorty, my grandmother says (in reference to looking at old time photos) you can tell who is related to us because their pants have the tallest cuffs. 😂

Thanks

🍿

Less is often more if we are patient to see it for ourselves.

I guess you have to do what works for you. But, it does work for me.

Thanks for the info! Enjoyed it.

Brett all it takes is common sense, animals do not think like us, We need to help the horse understand what we are asking of them. they are all different as are people. do what it takes no more no less. listen to the horse

Its worth THINKING on

A- Bits are a funny rabbit hole, maybe worse than politics. B- Great video; made me think!

I always appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge. I am an old western fan. All those horses were ridden in a $5 hardware store grazing bit, same ones we all rode with, and the horses rode great. Some gaping and head tossing, but they were ridden by actors. I think bits are more to satisfy us than the horse. Brings me to another subject, the actors sat a trot and looked great doing it. Never seen one post.

A- you're wrong.. Hold the bridle with long shanks out at arms length in one hand pull on the rein- see how the bit moves.. As soon as the bit moves it is working.. the truth is when the bit moves whether fast or slow it is working.. best Bruce Peek

Excellent information! Would you share your thoughts on 'trendy' hat creases next?

We rolled up Levi jeans because you had to buy them way long ‘cause they shrunk every time you washed them. Roll up when new and adjust them after they got washed.

My dad (1937 model) used to use his cuff's for an ashtray. Also he was really short. He also used to roll the top of his rubber boots down which was also a thing back then.

I live in central america and the everyday saddles and tack they use here is completely different from anything I see on youtube, the saddles don't have trees or horns (they use a loop of rope or leather for the horn), the bosal and hackamores (jacamo) they use are different, it's all super practical and inexpensive. And the horses are super chill, maybe because they don't ever really run wild.

I remember those days but I grew up in the early 90s when I used to get sent to the corner store for cigarettes for my folks 😊 with a note that had my house phone number on it so if they wanted to call ☎️ home to double check! Pack of kools and lucky strike non filters for pops

Bret. Bahaha .... producer. Aka your wife? I loath hipster crap as well.

dangit, I just quit smoking 7 months ago after doing it for 47 years. 🙂

Lotsa old cowpunchers down here called their cuff , a 2 horse roll or a 4 horse roll. I guess a horse was an inch, I never asked. They’d carry them roll your own bitts in em. They also would drop horseshoe nail ends theyed twist off in em. Then throw em in the trash when done. A lot of old timers didn’t want them nail ends laying around. They’dwork into a frog now and then.

I like to roll my pant legs up when I feed for the neighbors so I can bring a little “free” hay back home with me 😂

John Wayne rolled his pants up because he walked funny. And you I never seen so many professionals in my life

The old shoers would roll a leg up and drop cut off nails in there so they didn't have to clean up later. If I've been out in the crap and I go in somewhere, I'll throw a cuff up so I don't track anything into someone's house.

Ahh the late 70s ALL the 80s and the first 2 or 3 years of the 90s were a excellent times. Excellent video 👍 Thanks

First time I saw it was Waddie Mitchell in a Western Horseman Article on the Elko Cowboy Poetry Gathering. I thought it was a Nevada Buckaroo thing. I've been fortunate enough to be built tall and ruggedly muscular for my age :-) and always need a longer inseam than waist (until i hit 50 ). I seldom found many pairs of jeans that were too long. I guess some of these runty types were never that fortunate. Buckaroos are the Hipsters of the cowboy world and about 50 years ahead of their time. Look at any Kurt Markus photos from the 80's and 90's and you will see what modern hipsters are trying to look like...Fedoras? Scarves? Peacoats? Wire rimmed glasses? Waxed Moustaches? I rest my case...

Buy them long so they don't ride up at a lope. Tuck them inside with regular shoes. Not into the 50s look. Is this a TX thing? Don't see it in Colorado.

Love these conversations 😊.. Im a bit older than you and vividly remember all the things you described. I know it’s bad for you but I have fond memories of that type of stuff from 70’s & 80’s! That cuff on the Levi’s was a greaser style too, like Fonzie on Happy Days. My Dad always had a ash tray on the dash of his truck, he never flicked them out of the window.

My grandmother taught me to brush off my pant legs , and roll up the bottoms, so I don't bring corral dust in the house . 😂

When I take my boots off and wander the house, I cuff my wranglers so I don’t have to walk in the hems.

As a French kid in the 80s, it was Skinheads who rolled their jeans revealing their famous Doc Martens boots. It became mainstream in the 90s and I did it (with the Doc Martens). Fashion is an eternal repeat... I'm not a Hipster I'm a GenX & proud.

I did it just to be obnoxious & dare someone to say something. Aside from 1 tough old timer, no one ever said $#!+ 😅

I live wear it rains a lot, Late Fall-Spring, mud, that's why I roll mine up while I am catching my horse. But I roll then back down, unless I forget...

Smoking is plenty bad. Both of my parents died from its effects. My granddaughter wears jeans with rips in them. It makes no sense to me, but nothing to fret about. I'd put rolled up cuffs in a similar category.

I am short and buy my pants about 3 or 4 sizes too long for when I ride, which is about everyday. I cuff them so they don't drag when I am not riding and they are a great place to store your nails and cut nails when you are shoeing. If I am in "style" it is the first time in my life.

I'm 70, everyone around these parts wore Levis shrink to fit button jeans and many of us rolled the cuffs..and we smoked but didn't use them for ashtrays. Then one day seems everyone all at once switched to wranglers.. I'm still wearing them (wranglers) ....maybe ill do cuffs and start a trend.

When I was a kid, we did it for two reasons. 1. Because our pants were to long. 2. The stall or pasture was three inches deep in water and other things we didn’t want to carry in on Grandma’s clean floors. Lol

Back in the day my dad wore bib overalls & it seemed pretty odd when denim became the fashion!

I roll my jeans when I wear my moccasins because I buy jeans about 2 inches long so when I crawl aboard a horse my jeans aren't pulled up over the tops of my boots.

You would have loved the '70s when some rodeo contestants were wearing beads and bell bottoms, and smoking a lot more than cigarettes.
