The times we are right and the successes in our lives don't make us who we are. It's the days we are wrong and the mistakes we have made which make the biggest lessons in life and thus, who we become. Never fear being wrong, only fear not learning from it.
TANK!!! My dude. I had the pleasure of riding him all week at the school. He definitely made me learn. A mirror of myself. I hope you can continue to use him
Wow. I'm impressed. This shows the gentleness, strength and intelligence of a true man to show kindness to an animal and think about what kind of life it must have had before it made it to your hands. I am not even a fan of horses but hearing you talk about this horse with such understanding gives me a new perspective and a new respect for them and yourself as well.
Had a horse like that…started over. Itrainedhorsesforyears. This guy needed fun. Put him in dry lot so every time he saw me he did something interesting. We learned to fetch…started with my dropped glove. I really just trained him like a dog. He turned into a fantastic horse. Short short sessions of interesting activity. Took him out and saddled up. Unsaddledand gota good grooming after not before etc
I would love to see a video series on Tank. Maybe you could do a beginner restart series. You make a great point about holding onto something when it’s tough to accomplish. Nowadays our time is so precious that we let go of the things that are difficult because we always need a quick and convenient.
Yes it would be nice to see his story as he progresses. We have a pony that was so face shy when we got him. Slowly he is realizing that life can be gentle. Thanks for your wisdom and for sharing with us.
Would love to see more tank! He's got a soft spot in my heart now.. I feel him, life can be boring and if everyone just gave up on us for feeling off, the world would be pretty bleak.. we all need a fresh look on life and tanks lucky to have yous to help him!
I’m somewhat of a lost soul right now, im working a job I hate to support a daughter I love and trying to be the best partner to my woman I can be. And I found this channel by chance, all these ‘professional self help’ or ‘I wish I’d knew this…’ etc videos are so insincere and impersonal, but this man speaks with a knowledge, wisdom and sincerity that I find comforting. One can apply what he says to a whole manner of challenges. I’m a subscriber as of this moment
Not sure how I found this channel, I was stoned one night and getting really deep and introspective on my life.. found some of his videos on life advice etc.. And now I'm binging all of his videos. Dude just gets in front of the camera and says what's on his mind. No fluff. No sponsors. No editing. No bullshit. Reminds me of old school TH-cam. Watching his videos is like going back to a simpler time, he's got a lot of wisdom.
Sir, I grew up with horses and some old cowboys in the early 70’s. I left that life in 76 when we moved away. I’m 59 now and somehow stumbled on your channel a few months back. My goodness, just listening to your wisdom is flooding me with some wonderful memories. You sound just like those old cowboys who spent years on the hurricane deck of some wonderful broncos, with hours upon hours, to pursue life’s wonders. I really appreciate you posting these videos. Thank you sir!
From the UK but lived worked and travelled in the US, southern States mainly. Great talks, the absolute best of that classic southern attitude. Like a tree which will bend in a storm, when another will break its roots by being stiff and resisting. Quality. Honesty. Acceptance. Remarkable and fires my faith in the legendary American spirit. Hard as nails, gentle and polite.
Needed to hear this today. I recently tried to “help” a friend with her situation and I made snap judgements about it and started telling her how she needed to solve it, and it wound up driving her away. I just need to step back and realize I just don’t know and maybe keep my mouth shut and my ears open.
Same and agree completely, made me feel like I was wasting my breath, but now hearing this.... maybe I should’ve opened my ears and closed my dern mouth.. sometimes ppl just need somebody to talk to and vent to.. but the last reply is true as well, it’s a slippery slope... I just wait and see now ty Dewayne and you sir for the comment
Hi Dwayne.. I rode a penchecking horse at a feedlot one time that was soured... you are right. These can be sensitive introverted horses that will only take what they perceive as drudgery for so long..then they start passively resisting.. the horse I rode had been rode with a correction bit and spurs ( to try and get him to respond snappier).. I started riding him with a rope halter and letting him make choices instead of forcing him to do what needed to be done..in 2 weeks that horse had spark of life showing in him and had stopped balking at every dead steer carcass and stopped trying to crush my foot on fence posts.. sometimes all it takes is looking at it from their perspective..thanks for the great vids and good luck with the horse!
I really appreciate you old man! I say old as a word of endearment. You remind me so much of my grandpa who died when I was 12. I'd give anything to be able to just sit and talk with him now. You know God says we should look at age as a blessing. Someone with lots of wisdom. This society has made us all obsessed with being 20 forever, but I think the older the better. I'm going to take life advice from a gentlemen like you not a 19 year old or someone trying to stay 19 because I know your words hold way more truth in them. Thank you.
@@Dcm193 sorry you feel that way, but I don't so to me he is a very wise old man. I'd be super interested to hear how your life is going for you since you don't believe in God.
@@casualchatwithamanda5996 it has been rather wonderful. It’s like how your life is indifferent since you don’t believe in the other 4500 or so religions or the other 45k denominations of Christianity. Once I learned about science , history ,and the numerous contradictions in the supposed holy book my life has been more enjoyable, I no longer fear the sadistic god that you claim is loving.
@@uploadtime1780 can you prove god is real then prove how it’s your god. Then go on to explain how the Bible fails horrible scientifically,historically and just holding up against the other books in the Bible .
He is perfect!!! I love him so much!! He is sweet!! Please don't sell him, he love you. I love this Channel. It's literally changing my life. Thank you.
This brings to mind several famous horses who were literally given up on and afterwards became famous for their achievements (there are undoubtedly countless more), the common thread was a person took the time to understand the horse and their circumstances in life. Gotta think God gave you both an opportunity. Blessings and Shalom in Him
The attention you give to these horses, and how you alway do your best understanding the other side. If its a horse, or even another person. I have alot of respect for you Dwayne... Keep up the good work. Thank you brother.
My dad has a cancer and never had no time to really teach me about life and stuff. He worked his ass off for me and my family, so I’m thankful to him for being such a strong minded and powerful example for me. But, i’d like to thanks you too. As I said, he never had the time to teach me stuff, I never spoke about girls with him, we never had a beer together, I mean, he was out there making my family prosperous. So thank you for being such a good replacement, such a good voice, I feel like its him speaking, you both are guys with a lot of background, and a lot of valors. Thanks Sir, thanks a lot from a Frenchman trying to dig itself a honorific life so I can show my dad he raised a good guy before he goes. Thanks sir
Would love to see more tank! He's got a soft spot in my heart now.. I feel him, life can be boring and if everyone just gave up on us for feeling off, the world would be pretty bleak.. we all need a fresh look on life and tanks lucky to have yous to help him!
He’s a pretty horse. The way he holds his head, he looks bored. Sounds like he is really gentle too. I’m thinking y’all got a good pet there, and maybe he can become a therapy animal. Horses are intuitive and intelligent; he just needs a purpose and like you said; to find enjoyment in life. Just my thought. Another great session of real life wisdom and perspective on life. Very good boss. ❤
I will be very interested to see how things progress with Tank. Watching him standing quietly waiting on you while you talk makes me feel like he has a lot of potential and wants to figure out how to fit-in. He may be smarter than average and easily bored with routines just like many people. Who knows? I bet he'll let you know in time.
Could not have been stated better... there are multiple lessons in what you explained. I have some experience with horses, but much more experience with dogs. One is much bigger than the other, but there are many similarities between them... at least in my view. Each one is different, just like us, and requires a unique approach from time to time. In the end, time, patience, consistency, and some nurturing along the way leads to bonding and a quality outcome.
When I am asked medical questions I don't know the answer to, I have learned to speak truth and tell people " I am not a doctor and don't play one on TV." Another great lesson.
It feels so incredibly real, so genuine true...if all people were like you, the world would look different, neither to the left nor to the right, it would be a humane, decent society❤️
Finding your channel has been in a way life saving for me, your kind words of advice and guidance have really been helping me maneuver through this very arduous season in my life..... thank you Dewayne
Dewayne, I only found your channel a day or two ago but I have been having such a wonderful time watching your videos. You are an amazing font of knowledge and wisdom, and are a very well thought out person. Pretty much every video I've watched so far has had some sort of deeper message, or maybe something that makes the internal dialogue start brewing. Watching your videos, I have been taught some genuine, good lessons. Keep on moving man.
Dewayne, I know that a fresh new start and taking an out of the box approach with this special horse will work and the bond will be like you have never had with a horse before. It’s called faith in God to lead you down this fantastic journey. Please keep us posted on how this goes as we want to keep up with this special journey. Thank you.
Dwayne. Been following awhile now. You show the love of Lord in you; but I would describe you as the SOCRATES of the saddle. In Socrates line; " You cannot live better; than seeking to be better". I have no doubt, that you & Tank will have a deep undertaking. This old man really appreciated your dialog tonight.
Nothing, but pearls of wisdom here… and I’m all 🦻🦻! Just the way you, Dewayne described Tank I love him already! I have no doubt under your care and patience Tank will be an amazing horse to ride and a joy to everyone for many many years!
Great video! And about the acid reflux, I feel you. I’ve had acid reflux my whole life (I actually thought the amount of reflux I had was normal). A year or so ago, we were chasing down some medical issues, and in a esophagus biopsy they found I had the ever-so-slight beginnings of Barrett’s Esophagus (pre-cancerous condition). Not too much, though. But yeah, I get it. I hope things have gotten better! (I can’t tell, since this is an older video)
Greay video, I love that you're sharing this with humility. It isso important to get to "I don't know" with horses. I'm a trainer and have a similar horse who I rescued from going for meat last December. Very similar attitude, breed, size, age, but she's a mare. The way the training progressed at first was similar too. Currently she can be trail ridden, but she's slow and not happy about it. Even though she's living a great life on acreage in a small, happy herd of mares, she is generally not happy. I'm starting to feel it's a gut issue. She had parasites, and we're still dealing with that. Ulcers are also common. I think it's a combination of past experience with harsh methods, getting away with a lot, and not being comfortable in her gut, which makes her grumpy generally, and sometimes not interested in moving.
Just wanted to share something I learned recently about high blood pressure. Found out from a medical doctor with a natural health degree that low potassium and/or low electrolytes can cause high blood pressure. Take potassium in the form of potassium citrate to lower high blood pressure. It's even better if you take electrolytes with it because if you only take the potassium, it can unbalance your potassium salt and magnesium levels after a while. The best form of electrolytes is Dr Berg's electrolyte powder. Also a pounding heartbeat is often caused by a B1 deficiency. Take vitamin B1 in the form of non fortified nutritional yeast if you have this issue and it will clear it up within a couple of minutes. You will need anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon. I had been having this problem for years and was always given medication that had side effects until I was told the root cause of blood pressure which is a lack of eating plenty of vegetables and leafy greens.
Thank you so much for this, Dewayne. I recently had to say goodbye to some close friends of mine. I realized I was trying to convince myself that we got along, but it always felt tense and weird around them. I just didn't mesh. I'm going to send them this video because this is exactly how I'm feeling. Thanks so much and God bless.
Just a suggestion-(as I have had to think way outside of the box with many horses)-try to learn how to get him to join up at liberty in an area you can ask him to go around and over obstacles when you ask from a distance first and show him how little pressure can be used and then have him go with you through this somewhat an obstacle course with you as a leader-get him to feel his job is to be with you and lead--this will keep boredom down-then ride him as light as possible out in the open away from other horses--as for easy tasks in riding-if he will not keep his gait then get him to move his feet in a way that is fairly difficult and unwanted by him--then rest him and ask again your original task--patience is key-but you must be a leader-assertive yes-but not aggressive--he is built for ranch work-so find ranch type things to do-he may show you he is a lot quicker on his feet than you realize-I would also try some bare back riding if you are up for it-in an open area where he thinks he is free
Hank is a handsome horse! I'm glad that you came across my videos, especially the one with you and your wife, talking about marriage. Ya'll are awesome!
Dwayne I don’t comment much but I really like your channel and approach in life.I am a pastor married m high school sweet heart and we have 3 wounderful adult daughters and one granddaughter and I AM ONLY 45 but I can tell you this world needs a lot of this common sense living. I don’t much about horses but I believe you have a lot of wisdom to share. So I want to encourage you to keep up with the cigar talks or (whatever you want to call them ) And thank you.
Amazing and thoughtful advice!!!! Have you thought about first getting health issues checked out, teeth floated, farrier, ulcers, chiropractor etc. saddle fit, maybe hackamore. When my kids were little and having difficulties, I always liked to make sure that the physical side was checked out first. Another thing that I came across (I'm not sure but I think it's from Warwick Schiller) and this is the anthesis of conventional wisdom, is you do something with a horse up to the point JUST BEFORE HE BECOMES UNCOMFORTABLE and then you back off and wait for him to relax before continuing. This method helps the horse be a true partner. This idea opened my eyes to how stressful the method of forcing the horse to "work through his fear" is and that he will be willing but not a true partner. This has been fun for me as none of my kids nor other family or friends are interested in horses! I wish you and Momma all the best.
oh Dwayne ,, you hit the exact point which i’m suffering from it .. a snap judgment ! i’m REALLY feeling comfortable of your honest , decent and straight forward words 🌟 your new friend from kuwait .
Dwayne, Tanks a beautiful boy! Thanks for having the wisdom to say "I don't know" and the wherewithal to try something different. Tank is trying to tell us something...we need to listen to find out what it is. Thanks for sharing!
Well said, it's much harder to say when your wrong from when you aren't. Also my dad smoked for many years and when the Dr. or friends would say you should stop smoking for the various reasons he would reply I do it cause I like it. He enjoyed smoking and irrespective of its impact he wanted to do what he enjoyed...last he checked it was legal......just keep doing what you enjoy!!!
Another timely video Dewayne! Thanks for your transparency. My devotional time today touched on the warnings of a critical attitude toward others, to take care of the beam in your own eye so you can see the speck of dirt in your neighbors. I’m sorry you have been the recipient of others snap judgments. The use of Tank as a visual parable makes this a tremendous video. I’m rooting for Tank and I pray for you brother Dewayne!
Hey brother. Just found your videos I know you been told this but you need to hear it again. Thank you, for doing what fathers haven’t done for this young men. Only thing I can add is to teach them about Jesus and how important it is to know Christ. Yes I’m glad your fixing the thought process that the world really messed these kids up. Just don’t forget we will die one day and God will say one of two things to him and I don’t want anyone to hear this phrase “depart from me, for I don’t know you.” I say this with love and passion of humans.
Your story is amazing,and your purpose is life is to reach so many of us out here in the world with this wonderful tool called the internet,God bless you in your journey may we have many more years of your wisdom 💯🙏💞
I really enjoy your videos. Lots of good info learned the hard way. My last resort with Tank would be take him out on his own for a couple of days and let him do his thing. Maybe needs to get away from the crowd to have fun on his own. Thanks Dwayne.
Just found your channel today! Really love the content so far! I grew up on the outskirts of St. Louis MO, in the country but not on a farm or ranch or anything. More like trailer park and shell gas station type country rather than cowboy country. Anyway, my dream is to own my own ranch one day, but obviously I have a whole lot to learn. So, I appreciate the knowledge you're sharing on your channel!
This guy is a breath of fresh air from all of the other videos I watch. I like billions of other people who work at a job that I hate, it's a great company with great benefits which is why I've worked there for so long but man it's so damn monotonous and I feel trapped inside. I agree, if I was to go out there, I don't know what I would do next and you have to go out there to find out for yourself. Sometimes, you just don't know!
Dewayne, I love you brother...I've said it before and I'll say it now. I want what you have sir. Outstanding.I strive to gain wisdom every day, and you and your videos have that. I will work on NOT making snap decisions. Thank You
First, we love your Chanel! I love this video in particular! You touch on a huge shortfall in the horse industry, well most industries. The “my way or the highway” mentality where you can’t be wrong or ask for help or simply say, “I don’t know”. I was a trainer and occasionally instructor and even judged a few shows into my 30’s, I even went to college to get an Equine business management degree…. Because it was instilled in me that “I don’t know” or let me ask another’s opinion were unacceptable and basically condemned. I got so disgusted by the “horse people” that I left the industry completely. In my late 40’s I married a great man that knew my past and love of the farm and horses that I grew up with. He insisted we get involved with horses, for the horses and us, not the people. I thank him ever day for the blessings of 6 horses and with “all my knowledge” ha ha… I will always seek to learn more. For every encounter learning what tools can help gives us the ability to be better and to say, I don’t know, what would you do. Thank you! Side note, Tank is beautiful and a fine Quarter Horse model! I love your idea to show him fun, work can be fun… see what he likes. As you’ve said in past videos, listen to the horse, let him tell you what he gets excited about.
Sometimes an animal gets to a point, where they wonder, "AND how does this benefit me at all?" , i am drawn to these kinds myself.. can be the best partner you could ask for, or can be turned into a worst enemy (which is why they were likely sold in the first place) I have a young mare I am doing this exact thing with, taking the pressure off, not looking for a fight, turning some things into a game that she clearly see's benefits her and are fun, with still clear boundaries and *because I work highly in the energy field, re creating proper connection and feel" ... Creating a different kind of partnership. I love animals like this (i professionally am a dog behavioral and rehab trainer), that have something to teach us, and that benefits us both. I can't wait to someday attend your program when you move closer to home. you talk eloquently and straight, and that sure resonates! Can't wait to see this horses progress, the ones like him are special I find!
Oh man. Did this one hit home to me right now. On the horse level and on the critical snap decision doesn't make someone else's life better! I spent the last year starting over with a new horse that was sold to me as a "good ride" but bad ground manners. I had to "listen to my horse". I had to step out of the box. He is better. And on the other, now my life is in turmoil and stress. I have stomach ulcers, and diaphramatic hernia, Celiac disease, insufficient pancreas. There's medication involved. And my partner has had small strokes. Been in and out of hospitals and I have had those snap decisions that has mis diagnosed my partner on several occasions that has been costly to his overall recovery. Oh man, I just gotta get away and meet you and DeAnne before ya'll leave Tennessee.
I find it tragic, that one: The internet has made everyone an expert on everything, at least in their own mind. And two, people dont know how to stay in there own lane. If they dont like smoking, they dont have to watch. But, everyone has an opinion on everything these days. I personally enjoy every video, regardless of content, because I get something out of them all. I was actually thinking of getting into cigars when I stumbled upon the channel. And was greatful to be reminded that men, should make their own decisions on how they live their lives. I now enjoy a morning and evening smoke daily. Thank you sir, as always.
Sir I thankyou for your honesty/ transparency about your medical concerns. I am in healthcare-homehealth 20 plus years a cough can be a lot of things sometimes lungs sometimes stomach sometimes heart thats why you have to see a doctor !!! and not rely on your neighbor or some superficial internet troll! I appreciate the message to think again about various situations:)
Thank you Dewayne for the wisdom you relate in your videos. I began watching various videos on your channel only a few weeks ago. Finding that the content helps ease some of the anxieties that have crept in over the past few years. I will continue to tune in and listen to what you have to say. Much appreciated. Looking forward to see how Tank does in the near future. JV.
Restarting him is good. Try teaching him tricks to engage his mind. Was given a misfit TW gelding. He was lazy and pushy. Had to work on basics but had the most fun teaching him new tricks. He loved it and we created a trusting bond on the trail or just hanging out together. Taught him how to dance the Hokey Pokey and he danced it with 5,000 people at the WA state fair. Every horse can fit somewhere.
In relation to the future, and life...sometimes we just don't know - just like with a horse, sometimes we just don't know, but we gotta listen, be patient, watch carefully, and keep moving forward as we would with that beautiful animal. I knew there was a reason I subbed, you're a great teacher.
Dwayne, you must stay up late at night pondering your topics, and I must say you reached deep into my soul to get this one. There's an old saying I mutter to my kids and grandkids, Adjust and overcome. You've clearly stated why that is so important in this situation; Life has value. Tank is a beautiful horse and I like his conformation. I'm sure both of you will figure this out in time. I agree with others, would love to see Tanks progression. Say Hi to Mama.
I was an lpn nurse for years in home health. Speaking from personal and professional experience for alot of people if they eat yogurt every day it helps with leveling out stomach acid which helps not have acid reflux in your throat. It don't work for everyone but it helps alot of people. Worth a try. Enjoy your videos
Profound. As a father of two sons I can't tell you the impact on my sons when I was forced to say, "I don't know". Or, "I was wrong." My boys are 31 and 23 and I admire them greatly.
You and your wife are full of beauty. Gained my subscription right after I just listened to your video together about your marriage. Thank you for reaching out to me through this and to everyone else who can find it.
You definitely have much wisdom about life and how to approach it! If we call out to the Lord then you will be given knowledge and or wisdom how to handle the situation that is perplexing or frustrating. He has all of life's answers and you have the humility to realize and admit your limitations, with no shame or reproach! God's blessings on you!
Thank you so much for this…my mind is the stubborn horse…and it hasn’t experienced joy in years and years…hasn’t been allowed to be open to new possibilities and grocery…I don’t know what the answer is, but I thank you, Sir, for opening my perspective…
Found your channel a week or so ago. I’m all about it, loving the content and the wise words. 👍 our wisdom, knowledge and maturity never stops growing.
Dewayne is part cowboy, part preacher and part poet. A good old soul.
Philosopher
A-shame we can’t just say human, i guess that’s because somewhere along the way all us humans got distracted from being human..🙏❤️
Tank stamped so happily when you said you weren’t selling him. Maybe Tank could be a therapy horse for children to learn how to take care of a horse.
in my miniscule amount of knowledge that's exactly what I was thinking.
Same
Part of being a man, or woman, is admitting fault or lack of knowledge. It doesn't mean you're weak. It actually means you are strong.
Cheers Dewayne!
The times we are right and the successes in our lives don't make us who we are. It's the days we are wrong and the mistakes we have made which make the biggest lessons in life and thus, who we become. Never fear being wrong, only fear not learning from it.
cant agree more
Let me know when you find a woman that'll admit her faults.

Hello Tank !
So glad to meet you ! ❤
Dear Dewayne, the love and empathy you have towards your horses is very heart warming.
Hi Dwayne.. I rode a penchecking horse at a feedlot one time that was soured... you are right. These can be sensitive introverted horses that will only take what they perceive as drudgery for so long..then they start passively resisting.. the horse I rode had been rode with a correction bit and spurs ( to try and get him to respond snappier).. I started riding him with a rope halter and letting him make choices instead of forcing him to do what needed to be done..in 2 weeks that horse had spark of life showing in him and had stopped balking at every dead steer carcass and stopped trying to crush my foot on fence posts.. sometimes all it takes is looking at it from their perspective..thanks for the great vids and good luck with the horse!
I really appreciate you old man! I say old as a word of endearment. You remind me so much of my grandpa who died when I was 12. I'd give anything to be able to just sit and talk with him now.

I'm going to take life advice from a gentlemen like you not a 19 year old or someone trying to stay 19 because I know your words hold way more truth in them. Thank you.
Old doesn’t always equal wise . He is a godly man so he most likely holds the notion that creationism is true. Which would be wrong.
@@Dcm193 sorry you feel that way, but I don't so to me he is a very wise old man. I'd be super interested to hear how your life is going for you since you don't believe in God.
@@casualchatwithamanda5996 it has been rather wonderful. It’s like how your life is indifferent since you don’t believe in the other 4500 or so religions or the other 45k denominations of Christianity. Once I learned about science , history ,and the numerous contradictions in the supposed holy book my life has been more enjoyable, I no longer fear the sadistic god that you claim is loving.
@@casualchatwithamanda5996 I wouldn't worry about trolls living under bridges. God is real and everyone will eventually find the truth. All the best.
@@uploadtime1780 can you prove god is real then prove how it’s your god. Then go on to explain how the Bible fails horrible scientifically,historically and just holding up against the other books in the Bible .
I don't own horses and hardly know anything about them but your videos are amazing and are a breathe of fresh air.
I truly believe Tank is just where he needs to be 🥰…. Such a beautiful thing to learn from each other !
He is perfect!!! I love him so much!! He is sweet!! Please don't sell him, he love you. I love this Channel. It's literally changing my life. Thank you.
This brings to mind several famous horses who were literally given up on and afterwards became famous for their achievements (there are undoubtedly countless more), the common thread was a person took the time to understand the horse and their circumstances in life. Gotta think God gave you both an opportunity.
Blessings and Shalom in Him
The attention you give to these horses, and how you alway do your best understanding the other side. If its a horse, or even another person.
I have alot of respect for you Dwayne...
Keep up the good work.
Thank you brother.
My dad has a cancer and never had no time to really teach me about life and stuff. He worked his ass off for me and my family, so I’m thankful to him for being such a strong minded and powerful example for me.
But, i’d like to thanks you too. As I said, he never had the time to teach me stuff, I never spoke about girls with him, we never had a beer together, I mean, he was out there making my family prosperous. So thank you for being such a good replacement, such a good voice, I feel like its him speaking, you both are guys with a lot of background, and a lot of valors. Thanks Sir, thanks a lot from a Frenchman trying to dig itself a honorific life so I can show my dad he raised a good guy before he goes. Thanks sir
Would love to see more tank! He's got a soft spot in my heart now.. I feel him, life can be boring and if everyone just gave up on us for feeling off, the world would be pretty bleak.. we all need a fresh look on life and tanks lucky to have yous to help him!
Thank you for having the wisdom & the kindness in your❤heart to not give up on 🐎TANK, and give him a fresh start on a brand new journey! 😊
He’s a pretty horse. The way he holds his head, he looks bored. Sounds like he is really gentle too. I’m thinking y’all got a good pet there, and maybe he can become a therapy animal. Horses are intuitive and intelligent; he just needs a purpose and like you said; to find enjoyment in life. Just my thought.
Another great session of real life wisdom and perspective on life. Very good boss. ❤
Tank Looks Like Such a Kind Soul, I’m Glad That You Both Could Teach Each other Something, animals have a lot of emotions too!
Life is painfully difficult right now but it helps me tremendously to watch these videos everyday.
Now we're all rooting for both of you.
Please keep us updated Dewayne.
I will be very interested to see how things progress with Tank. Watching him standing quietly waiting on you while you talk makes me feel like he has a lot of potential and wants to figure out how to fit-in. He may be smarter than average and easily bored with routines just like many people. Who knows? I bet he'll let you know in time.
Could not have been stated better... there are multiple lessons in what you explained. I have some experience with horses, but much more experience with dogs. One is much bigger than the other, but there are many similarities between them... at least in my view. Each one is different, just like us, and requires a unique approach from time to time. In the end, time, patience, consistency, and some nurturing along the way leads to bonding and a quality outcome.
When I am asked medical questions I don't know the answer to, I have learned to speak truth and tell people " I am not a doctor and don't play one on TV." Another great lesson.
Dewayne, your life's wisdom is rare and should be taught and preserved as you do now. Thank you.

It feels so incredibly real, so genuine true...if all people were like you, the world would look different, neither to the left nor to the right, it would be a humane, decent society❤️
I love to hear such a wise leader mr.Dewayne ! God bless you mr.!
thank you for listening to Tank.
Finding your channel has been in a way life saving for me, your kind words of advice and guidance have really been helping me maneuver through this very arduous season in my life..... thank you Dewayne
Dewayne, I only found your channel a day or two ago but I have been having such a wonderful time watching your videos. You are an amazing font of knowledge and wisdom, and are a very well thought out person. Pretty much every video I've watched so far has had some sort of deeper message, or maybe something that makes the internal dialogue start brewing. Watching your videos, I have been taught some genuine, good lessons. Keep on moving man.
3:32 I am so glad you're not going to sell Tank! He's beautiful. 11:40 so true! Please keep us updated on Tank. Thumbs up!
Dewayne, I know that a fresh new start and taking an out of the box approach with this special horse will work and the bond will be like you have never had with a horse before. It’s called faith in God to lead you down this fantastic journey. Please keep us posted on how this goes as we want to keep up with this special journey. Thank you.
I just ❤️ you want to give this horse a chance. It's amazing and I hope the horse has 10 or 20 more years to love his life thank you for sharing
Dwayne. Been following awhile now. You show the love of Lord in you; but I would describe you as the SOCRATES of the saddle. In Socrates line; " You cannot live better; than seeking to be better".
I have no doubt, that you & Tank will have a deep undertaking.
This old man really appreciated your dialog tonight.
Nothing, but pearls of wisdom here… and I’m all 🦻🦻! Just the way you, Dewayne described Tank I love him already! I have no doubt under your care and patience Tank will be an amazing horse to ride and a joy to everyone for many many years!
"TANKS" for not selling him and for all of your videos! You'll both feel great in Wyoming. It is the 2nd happiest, healthiest state in the USA.
Amen, Sir. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. God bless.
Thank you for the video. I once heard, if you always think what you always thought, you will always get what you always got
Great video! And about the acid reflux, I feel you. I’ve had acid reflux my whole life (I actually thought the amount of reflux I had was normal). A year or so ago, we were chasing down some medical issues, and in a esophagus biopsy they found I had the ever-so-slight beginnings of Barrett’s Esophagus (pre-cancerous condition). Not too much, though.
But yeah, I get it. I hope things have gotten better! (I can’t tell, since this is an older video)
Greay video, I love that you're sharing this with humility. It isso important to get to "I don't know" with horses.
I'm a trainer and have a similar horse who I rescued from going for meat last December. Very similar attitude, breed, size, age, but she's a mare. The way the training progressed at first was similar too. Currently she can be trail ridden, but she's slow and not happy about it. Even though she's living a great life on acreage in a small, happy herd of mares, she is generally not happy. I'm starting to feel it's a gut issue. She had parasites, and we're still dealing with that. Ulcers are also common. I think it's a combination of past experience with harsh methods, getting away with a lot, and not being comfortable in her gut, which makes her grumpy generally, and sometimes not interested in moving.
The things you said about that horse gave me goosebumps. You are a great man.
Just wanted to share something I learned recently about high blood pressure. Found out from a medical doctor with a natural health degree that low potassium and/or low electrolytes can cause high blood pressure. Take potassium in the form of potassium citrate to lower high blood pressure. It's even better if you take electrolytes with it because if you only take the potassium, it can unbalance your potassium salt and magnesium levels after a while. The best form of electrolytes is Dr Berg's electrolyte powder. Also a pounding heartbeat is often caused by a B1 deficiency. Take vitamin B1 in the form of non fortified nutritional yeast if you have this issue and it will clear it up within a couple of minutes. You will need anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon. I had been having this problem for years and was always given medication that had side effects until I was told the root cause of blood pressure which is a lack of eating plenty of vegetables and leafy greens.
Ok sir you are so spot on. We have to look at things differently. 🐎 Free to live.
You just made me smile, Dewayne. You are a good man! (And, teacher).
Thank you so much for this, Dewayne. I recently had to say goodbye to some close friends of mine. I realized I was trying to convince myself that we got along, but it always felt tense and weird around them. I just didn't mesh. I'm going to send them this video because this is exactly how I'm feeling.
Thanks so much and God bless.
Just a suggestion-(as I have had to think way outside of the box with many horses)-try to learn how to get him to join up at liberty in an area you can ask him to go around and over obstacles when you ask from a distance first and show him how little pressure can be used and then have him go with you through this somewhat an obstacle course with you as a leader-get him to feel his job is to be with you and lead--this will keep boredom down-then ride him as light as possible out in the open away from other horses--as for easy tasks in riding-if he will not keep his gait then get him to move his feet in a way that is fairly difficult and unwanted by him--then rest him and ask again your original task--patience is key-but you must be a leader-assertive yes-but not aggressive--he is built for ranch work-so find ranch type things to do-he may show you he is a lot quicker on his feet than you realize-I would also try some bare back riding if you are up for it-in an open area where he thinks he is free
LOVE what you're doing for your horse!!!!
Every time I watch one of your videos is the same to get a punch in the stomach. Keep doing this, we need wise men around.
I love what you are doing with this horse. Time will tell you. Keep up the good work.
Hank is a handsome horse! I'm glad that you came across my videos, especially the one with you and your wife, talking about marriage. Ya'll are awesome!
Dwayne I don’t comment much but I really like your channel and approach in life.I am a pastor married m high school sweet heart and we have 3 wounderful adult daughters and one granddaughter and I AM ONLY 45 but I can tell you this world needs a lot of this common sense living. I don’t much about horses but I believe you have a lot of wisdom to share. So I want to encourage you to keep up with the cigar talks or (whatever you want to call them ) And thank you.
Dewayne, you just keep on keepin' on. You are a blessed man, so you must be doing something right.
Amazing and thoughtful advice!!!! Have you thought about first getting health issues checked out, teeth floated, farrier, ulcers, chiropractor etc. saddle fit, maybe hackamore. When my kids were little and having difficulties, I always liked to make sure that the physical side was checked out first. Another thing that I came across (I'm not sure but I think it's from Warwick Schiller) and this is the anthesis of conventional wisdom, is you do something with a horse up to the point JUST BEFORE HE BECOMES UNCOMFORTABLE and then you back off and wait for him to relax before continuing. This method helps the horse be a true partner. This idea opened my eyes to how stressful the method of forcing the horse to "work through his fear" is and that he will be willing but not a true partner. This has been fun for me as none of my kids nor other family or friends are interested in horses! I wish you and Momma all the best.
oh Dwayne ,, you hit the exact point which i’m suffering from it .. a snap judgment !
i’m REALLY feeling comfortable of your honest , decent and straight forward words 🌟
your new friend from kuwait .
Dwayne, Tanks a beautiful boy! Thanks for having the wisdom to say "I don't know" and the wherewithal to try something different. Tank is trying to tell us something...we need to listen to find out what it is. Thanks for sharing!
Greetings from Costa Rica! Thank you for caring and sharing.
Well said, it's much harder to say when your wrong from when you aren't. Also my dad smoked for many years and when the Dr. or friends would say you should stop smoking for the various reasons he would reply I do it cause I like it. He enjoyed smoking and irrespective of its impact he wanted to do what he enjoyed...last he checked it was legal......just keep doing what you enjoy!!!
I hope you continue to update us with you and Tanks progress.
Another timely video Dewayne! Thanks for your transparency. My devotional time today touched on the warnings of a critical attitude toward others, to take care of the beam in your own eye so you can see the speck of dirt in your neighbors. I’m sorry you have been the recipient of others snap judgments. The use of Tank as a visual parable makes this a tremendous video. I’m rooting for Tank and I pray for you brother Dewayne!
Hey brother. Just found your videos I know you been told this but you need to hear it again. Thank you, for doing what fathers haven’t done for this young men. Only thing I can add is to teach them about Jesus and how important it is to know Christ. Yes I’m glad your fixing the thought process that the world really messed these kids up. Just don’t forget we will die one day and God will say one of two things to him and I don’t want anyone to hear this phrase “depart from me, for I don’t know you.” I say this with love and passion of humans.
Your story is amazing,and your purpose is life is to reach so many of us out here in the world with this wonderful tool called the internet,God bless you in your journey may we have many more years of your wisdom 💯🙏💞
Such a beautiful video
Love the humanity & compassion
I really enjoy your videos. Lots of good info learned the hard way. My last resort with Tank would be take him out on his own for a couple of days and let him do his thing. Maybe needs to get away from the crowd to have fun on his own. Thanks Dwayne.
Just found your channel today! Really love the content so far! I grew up on the outskirts of St. Louis MO, in the country but not on a farm or ranch or anything. More like trailer park and shell gas station type country rather than cowboy country. Anyway, my dream is to own my own ranch one day, but obviously I have a whole lot to learn. So, I appreciate the knowledge you're sharing on your channel!
This guy is a breath of fresh air from all of the other videos I watch. I like billions of other people who work at a job that I hate, it's a great company with great benefits which is why I've worked there for so long but man it's so damn monotonous and I feel trapped inside. I agree, if I was to go out there, I don't know what I would do next and you have to go out there to find out for yourself. Sometimes, you just don't know!
Dewayne, I love you brother...I've said it before and I'll say it now. I want what you have sir. Outstanding.I strive to gain wisdom every day, and you and your videos have that. I will work on NOT making snap decisions. Thank You
First, we love your Chanel! I love this video in particular! You touch on a huge shortfall in the horse industry, well most industries. The “my way or the highway” mentality where you can’t be wrong or ask for help or simply say, “I don’t know”. I was a trainer and occasionally instructor and even judged a few shows into my 30’s, I even went to college to get an Equine business management degree…. Because it was instilled in me that “I don’t know” or let me ask another’s opinion were unacceptable and basically condemned. I got so disgusted by the “horse people” that I left the industry completely. In my late 40’s I married a great man that knew my past and love of the farm and horses that I grew up with. He insisted we get involved with horses, for the horses and us, not the people. I thank him ever day for the blessings of 6 horses and with “all my knowledge” ha ha… I will always seek to learn more. For every encounter learning what tools can help gives us the ability to be better and to say, I don’t know, what would you do. Thank you!
Side note, Tank is beautiful and a fine Quarter Horse model! I love your idea to show him fun, work can be fun… see what he likes. As you’ve said in past videos, listen to the horse, let him tell you what he gets excited about.
Thanks Dwayne good lesson in this video. Take care my brother God bless
He's a beautiful horse.❣️
Wonderful as always. Thanks Dwayne
Sometimes an animal gets to a point, where they wonder, "AND how does this benefit me at all?" , i am drawn to these kinds myself.. can be the best partner you could ask for, or can be turned into a worst enemy (which is why they were likely sold in the first place) I have a young mare I am doing this exact thing with, taking the pressure off, not looking for a fight, turning some things into a game that she clearly see's benefits her and are fun, with still clear boundaries and *because I work highly in the energy field, re creating proper connection and feel" ... Creating a different kind of partnership. I love animals like this (i professionally am a dog behavioral and rehab trainer), that have something to teach us, and that benefits us both. I can't wait to someday attend your program when you move closer to home. you talk eloquently and straight, and that sure resonates! Can't wait to see this horses progress, the ones like him are special I find!
Oh man. Did this one hit home to me right now. On the horse level and on the critical snap decision doesn't make someone else's life better! I spent the last year starting over with a new horse that was sold to me as a "good ride" but bad ground manners. I had to "listen to my horse". I had to step out of the box. He is better. And on the other, now my life is in turmoil and stress. I have stomach ulcers, and diaphramatic hernia, Celiac disease, insufficient pancreas. There's medication involved. And my partner has had small strokes. Been in and out of hospitals and I have had those snap decisions that has mis diagnosed my partner on several occasions that has been costly to his overall recovery. Oh man, I just gotta get away and meet you and DeAnne before ya'll leave Tennessee.
Thanks for the Good life advice Dwayne
I find it tragic, that one: The internet has made everyone an expert on everything, at least in their own mind. And two, people dont know how to stay in there own lane. If they dont like smoking, they dont have to watch. But, everyone has an opinion on everything these days.
I personally enjoy every video, regardless of content, because I get something out of them all.
I was actually thinking of getting into cigars when I stumbled upon the channel. And was greatful to be reminded that men, should make their own decisions on how they live their lives. I now enjoy a morning and evening smoke daily. Thank you sir, as always.
Sir I thankyou for your honesty/ transparency about your medical concerns. I am in healthcare-homehealth 20 plus years a cough can be a lot of things sometimes lungs sometimes stomach sometimes heart thats why you have to see a doctor !!! and not rely on your neighbor or some superficial internet troll! I appreciate the message to think again about various situations:)
I don’t have no horses but o use your videos for life advice thanks for all the videos you have done I really appreciate it.
Thank you Dewayne for the wisdom you relate in your videos. I began watching various videos on your channel only a few weeks ago. Finding that the content helps ease some of the anxieties that have crept in over the past few years. I will continue to tune in and listen to what you have to say. Much appreciated. Looking forward to see how Tank does in the near future. JV.
Restarting him is good. Try teaching him tricks to engage his mind. Was given a misfit TW gelding. He was lazy and pushy. Had to work on basics but had the most fun teaching him new tricks. He loved it and we created a trusting bond on the trail or just hanging out together. Taught him how to dance the Hokey Pokey and he danced it with 5,000 people at the WA state fair. Every horse can fit somewhere.
Love it when you change the way you look at things the things you at change. Maybe ask Tank a few questions and see what he can say yes to.
Enjoy having fun with Tank! 💚🐎
Thank you for the video
Thank you for relating working with horses to life. It really helps to understand things ina different way.
In relation to the future, and life...sometimes we just don't know - just like with a horse, sometimes we just don't know, but we gotta listen, be patient, watch carefully, and keep moving forward as we would with that beautiful animal. I knew there was a reason I subbed, you're a great teacher.
Tank is very relatable. Thank you for determining that you will work to figure him out. He is blessed by that attitude.
Dwayne, you must stay up late at night pondering your topics, and I must say you reached deep into my soul to get this one. There's an old saying I mutter to my kids and grandkids, Adjust and overcome. You've clearly stated why that is so important in this situation; Life has value. Tank is a beautiful horse and I like his conformation. I'm sure both of you will figure this out in time. I agree with others, would love to see Tanks progression. Say Hi to Mama.
I was an lpn nurse for years in home health. Speaking from personal and professional experience for alot of people if they eat yogurt every day it helps with leveling out stomach acid which helps not have acid reflux in your throat. It don't work for everyone but it helps alot of people. Worth a try. Enjoy your videos
Profound. As a father of two sons I can't tell you the impact on my sons when I was forced to say, "I don't know". Or, "I was wrong." My boys are 31 and 23 and I admire them greatly.
My uncle owns Tank now and he’s doing great! we love him, he’s just stubborn and I think he always will be❤😂
You and your wife are full of beauty. Gained my subscription right after I just listened to your video together about your marriage. Thank you for reaching out to me through this and to everyone else who can find it.
Very true , we need to be humble and accept our faults and work on them if need be ,
You definitely have much wisdom about life and how to approach it! If we call out to the Lord then you will be given knowledge and or wisdom how to handle the situation that is perplexing or frustrating. He has all of life's answers and you have the humility to realize and admit your limitations, with no shame or reproach! God's blessings on you!
Thank you so much for this…my mind is the stubborn horse…and it hasn’t experienced joy in years and years…hasn’t been allowed to be open to new possibilities and grocery…I don’t know what the answer is, but I thank you, Sir, for opening my perspective…
That's a very deep thought right there. Thanks Dewayne!
All I can say the green scenery around you is beautiful! New subscriber…love the channel!
Found your channel a week or so ago. I’m all about it, loving the content and the wise words. 👍 our wisdom, knowledge and maturity never stops growing.
