As a 6th generation Floridian and 5th generation Cowhunter, glad to hear Mr. Puckett knows his history...while we have a hybrid of the Spanish and English cattle raising traditions, we lean more to the English heritage and most of our horses aren't as well trained as y'all's...if you've seen the Vaquero Series video on Florida Cowhunters, I'm the poet featured in the video...
"When you're in ICU they're not going to ask which eye bucked ya off" 😄 I'm not a rancher or ranch hand, but this( and all your videos) are interesting and informative. Really enjoy them.
Hey mr Puckett I am a young cowboy learning more everyday about horses training your videos are amazing and very helpful please keep them coming my grandpa a real cowboy teaches me a lot I’m learning to train horses and my first horse I ever trained is a fillie and I’m training her rn thanks for the wonderful tips and have a nice day!
Roping with Cam keep learning! The journey will never end and you’ll enjoy it.
Shelia Ellison yes mam
I love that he teaches history and teaches how to teach the horse give this vaquero a follow as a Hispanic I love that he speaks Spanish too😂
I have said it before but I could listen to Mr. Pat all day. Great sense of humor! My education is still ongoing but man it would have come a bunch faster if I could have been exposed to him at a young age. I have some dvd's that he appears in and was wondering if he would consider being a clinician or if he has been in the past? There is a lot of knowledge coming from Mr. Pat and it needs to be out there for the world. I do personally like this format the most. I find a break in the day and sit down to watch and listen when nothing else is going on. Feels like one on one this way. Oh, and in western Kentucky, 1 cow for every 3 acres if rotating and that is a year round operation. I probably just had half of your annual precipitation in the last few days. Thanks for your huge part Mrs. Deb.
Go to www.thedisciplinedride.com/home.html to see his clinician schedule. Most of them are in California, but there was one in Georgia and Texas...
Our SW Louisiana capacity is 1 cow/calf unit per acre. In the 50's Jeff Davis Parish boasted more momma cows per acre than any other parish or county in the US. Every acre was fenced. Cattle were rotated annually with rice. My dad and I were both president of our parish Cattlemen's association (yrs apart - I'm 72 now). The cow calf enterprise has given way to Crawfish production. We can raise 1,000 pounds of crawfish per acre (best years). Prices start at 4 dollars per pound in November (low supply though) to one dollar in June. We now rotate rice with crawfish. Instead of Quarter Horses our hands now ride airboats. We will farm 600 acres of rice and flood the rice stubble to raise 600 acres of crawfish (1,200 total acres). Love your tapes. Oh, we still run some black momma cows and still feed a few good horses. Really like your ways. I wish I had been smarter about starting my colts back then.
Thank you so much for making this video! Im a horseshoer tryin to avoid extra hospital visits and the wisdom youre givin away here for free is worth many sets of shoes to me and my insurance company! Thanks for puttin this together for all the window lickers, we love you!
Even if you're not planning on being a roper, great way to make a safe horse. Thanks Pat and Deb.
What an incredible video! This could not be more helpful considering where I am at the moment with my mare.
Since I started working with her I have learned so much, and boy have I made some down right dumb mistakes. One day she was a bit further out in the field than what I felt at the time like walking, so I took my 60ft rope, made a few coils and roped her. Mind you this was the first time she was EVER roped, and of course she took off. It was about 45 minutes before I could approach her again.
That was a long time ago, but I know for a fact that she will remember that betrayal forever. I swore to myself that I wouldn't do anything that reckless again.
That is why these videos are so helpful. Both of you are passing down all the wisdom you have earned over the years so reckless beginners like myself can have a shot at a true partnership one day with our four-legged friends. That and not hurting them, or ourselves...
I also loved that little bit of history!
Your channel has taught me so much! I didn’t come from a horse background but I married into it. 3 years later at 34 years old I decided I enjoyed riding enough that I want more out of it. I’ve started to take up roping and actually bought a horse for myself and am also working with teaching him the rope. He is 6 and was never roped before. This video and the roping video that explained how to split the loop are so full of good info! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Oh, by the way! I’m from Indiana
Caballo primero, vaquero segundo. Perfectly sums up The Way...
So many nuggets in this one I'll have to watch it several more times.
Hes the best and knows alot of spanish 👍👏👏👏
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you for your videos and please keep sharing your wisdom
Thank you, great video 👍🏼 keep them coming
Great into to the rope work!! Love your sense of humour!!
Thank you so much for these insightful and helpful videos! God bless you both.
I ABSOLUTELY love watching the wealth of information coming from you.
Love the way you explain the training, and love your sense of humour .
Another good one! Like the history lesson you put in there too.
Can I just say how interesting I find your channel! I wish I could come and just hang out with this man and soak up all his knowledge!
Excellent video as well as explanations, I greatly appreciate the education!
Fantastic videos! There are a ton to choose from but I choose you Pat every time if I want to learn something new or refresh my memory. Thanks!!
This is the most I have learned about anything in such a short amount of time, and I was laughing all the way through. Thanks.
Out here in Louisiana thanks for information
Great video. Mr. Puckett is one great horseman for sure. I love his laid back, gentle way of training his ranch horse.
Deb, Pat
Hello friends. Hope this message Finds yall well and blessed as always. Just alittle line from Texas to tell yall thank you for the videos. I look forward to them and they never get old and I always learn something new to incorporate to my training methods. Many thanks for everything.
Thanks for the time and lessons.
I watched today again the dvd of the Gathering, and I realized that you was part of the presentation, I really appreciate your films, thanks for sharing your great knowledge. Happy trails from Switzerland
You rock!!! I am becoming addicted to your videos.
I love learning from a humble Rancher...Like yourself.
So knowledgeable and when doing something you explain in depth .. Love it
There are a lot of tidbits of wisdom you pass on that I would have missed at other times in my life. It makes me wonder how much I'm missing now!
I really appreciate the lessons you teach I learn something from you every time I watch mike Kyle from texas
Pat, Deb, thanks, appreciate your time. Wayne sheridan Wy
Just stumbled across these videos, you guys are great! As a girl who got a late start to roping and is just learning, these videos are awesome. Also love hearing the stories about cowboy history. Thank you guys for these awesome videos!
P.s. watching from Bakersfield,CA
I love these classes
Thanks for taking the time and doing this well explained video. Most people would have summed this up to 5 minutes with a lot of important information missing. You help the viewers with what your doing and and what to look for and what you don’t want. Thanks again from San Anton, Tx....
This guy is number 1 👏👏👏👍
You gotta love how far Horsemanship has come
cool video. thanks a lot.
I've only been riding with English Jumping saddle so far. I love working with horsies, and learning to rope and catch cattle is on top of my list when can return to riding.
Really appreciated this! Never really thought about balancing the eyes like that. makes sense though. We saddle and mount left, and then try to work with a rope or or gates or whatever from the right. Enjoyed the little history lesson as well. Thanks from Northwest Alberta!
Thanks again for the info, Pat. I have been following you since I came down with covid this time last year. I spent 10 straight days watching your videos and work with Chinaco. I put into practice everything you showed us with my OTTB, Lady. She's still not quite settled, still very hot blooded and quick to flight. I watched this video, hoping for the next steps but remembered everything else my horse needed to do before I could get on and rope and so we went back to the round pen and roping, as I did last year with her. You can never let your ideas get in the way of responding to what your horse needs in the moment. We aren't quite here yet.
Very enjoyable video ! Thank you .
Pat please make us a video on how to throw a loop and different types of loops. You are a true talent!
Thank you for another great video!
I took your advice and roped the heck out of my horse. We went to three brandings this year and he didn’t miss a beat. Thanks for the help.
loved this video
Watched many of your videos and i have to say: All your horses are very beautiful! Very classical, working-style but not so over-muscle-packed like those show-quarter-horses. Like them.
Love your videos
Great video, Pat and Deb. In my opinion, EVERY horse should be exposed to and made comfortable with, a rope the way Pat demonstrated here. Countless benefits.
Thanks so much for this.
Well thank you guys for taking the time to make a video definitely helping me lurn a lot at the moment and for the future. Also talking about the Spanish hurds brought here what do you guys think about mustang's?
Such a beautiful house!
I love the history lessons, sir.
And the lesson about ranch economics West v East is gold. Moving from the East Coast to the Midwest, then to AZ has been eye opening in land use philosophy. I dare say most folks who have never been out West or had real conversation with Western land owners, just don't get it.
Howdy, from Phoenix...
The last horse I had looked a lot like that one , bay mare with a star, strip and snip. 3 bars on top and poco blood on bottom. Great animal. Born Valentines day 1976. I miss having horses.
I’ve been starting colts since I was 10 all good stuff here.. sometimes it’s easy to focus on the more advanced stuff like leads, rating and getting that big, pretty stop.. I know I’m guilty of it and it’s great to go back to the basics
You know you can do this with a yearling. I was with my horse since he was weened off his mum @ 4 mo. age. These young'ins are at their best in their learning stages. They rely more on your guidance than a fearful 3yr old never been handled. Heck, I shoot off of mine in saddle or just taking a lean off his rump, roping is a cinch. I relate to your methods and mind set. Great rewards when accomplished. Take the time.
You are a gem sir !
ICU...!
Great video. Thanks.
I would like to see Pat do a video on mules I'm sure it would be entertaining. Great video as allways
Pat & Deb you are doing a great job explaining things - curious why all those who don't like his videos keep watching them. He said it in a previous one stop!
I think some people just thrive on complaining.
I really love your videos. I know nothing about horses, but your videos and knowledge/expertise really open my eyes to the beautiful relationship between a rider and a horse. I love horses. They are stunning and magnificent creatures that make great riding partners. I am not a rider, but I still respect horses and those learning how to ride them. I always walk away from your videos with new knowledge, laughter (at the jokes) and happiness. :) @Pat&DebPuckett
Very good ideas to learn from you
Nick from Nantucket Island 🌴 awesome videos
Thank you for sharing from Northern Maine. I have more work to do. Fine looks no horse.
big Hello from Croatia . nice done ty !
I don’t think we’ve had a viewer from Croatia. Welcome!
well done!
Good work.
Watched a recent video another person his fingers split when throwing and I notice yours stays closed going into wind up to release. Like your techniques best and can't wait to practice more.
I LIKE THAT HORSE!
Wow what a beautiful mare. She’s definitely something I ride on a daily. I have a mare that resembles her body only she is a chocolate palomino.
7:33 real nice throw....makes me wanna learn!
Great job
Beautiful mare wwwaaaa!!!!!
Awesome!
I grew up in FL and didn't realize that. Thank you. Love your rope, figure it's a Reita? Can't tell on video
In this video, he uses a 5/16 soft nylon rope that’s been broken in. A reata would be too harsh on the horse and we’d hate to have the horse step on it and break a strand.
having a history conversation and sneaking in a houlihan at 6:53 without any fuss
7:35 actually.
I see so many so called trainers that don't seem to have the time or patience to do the job right. They're getting paid by some poor fool and still can't be bothered to do it right. It's so refreshing to see someone willing to put in the time to get the job right.
I ride English, so certain things on your channel don't apply to me (like preparing a horse to rope, lol) but good horsemanship is good horsemanship plain and simple; and most lessons do apply (or at least they should!) no matter what discipline you're in. Even in this roping video you talk about working on proper flexion while your desensitizing the horse. Breaking a horse Western and breaking English is basically the same process just with different tack. Self-carriage and collection are the same everywhere; no rider wants an unbalanced horse with a hollow back. Building trust with a horse is always important, as is not betraying that trust by setting them up for failure or treating them cruelly.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment. As a side note, we have started a number of horses for the English world and have roped off of all of them...
Good demo. I got a TWH that was trained to rope. O.k. She was my 1st after 50 years. So I was riding and put my arm out to wave. She took off. I am still alive.
We’re glad you survived!
I love how Criollos got Google-translated to "free yo-yos" The S. East TX cattle economy depended on catching some of those at one time as well. had to be a pretty tough type of cowboy to chase those through the big thicket and bring enough back to make it worthwhile. Today there is still a need for these men and horses (and dogs) to catch a different type of free yo-yo and put them into jail.
Love your videos your a dying breed of a cowboy
The thing of note on east and west is mineral content , huge difference.
Heck, tossing the rope over the horse is what i do when either halter breaking babies or if older, when I'm prepping the horse to go under saddle. I also pet everywhere with a lunge whip... under, over and between.
I also take a long lead rope and I'll use it around all 4 feet (one at a time), to pick up the feet and also i will start to lead the foot as well as the head, to walk around the arena.
thanks !
thanks ,youre a good one
¡¡¡Como me gusta este caballo!!! su fisico,su adtitud,lo que trasmite, me gustaria saber si siempre fue tranquilo pues aunque trasmite una apariencia de mucha calma,creo que tiene que tener mucha clase,si fue facil su doma y como se hizo en modo y tiempo,si empezo de potro,si lo crio este señor,quienes son sus padres,otra cosa,seria posible subtitular los videos para los que no hablamos ingles.
Awesome
Buenos consejos, todos, y lo del mulo, si senor.
Hi Pat, this is such a great video. I would love to rope my off track thoroughbred gelding, but the problem is that I don’t have a round pen or a small corral that I could turn him loose in to rope him in. I do have an arena I can use but it is rather large and he’s quite a sensitive horse so that doesn’t seem like a good idea. Is there any way I could do it all with him in the halter? I might have to go more slowly, but do you think this could work and how would I go about getting him used to the rope while wearing a halter? Thank you so much for your awesome videos.

thanks from alabama. i enjoy the instruction and the comedy. please talk about your ropes, age, stiffness, that kind of thing. i've started a colt in the hackamore. how long should he stay in the 3/4 inch bosal? thanks a bunch
For Pat, a 3/4 inch bosal should be used for about a month. He personally doesn’t use a 3/4 but rides in a halter for that first month to take care of the basics. Before you go to a 5/8, you need to be able to do a one rein stop and stop going straight, get started on a back up, and be able to walk a circle with the horse’s spine bent like a banana, and walk, trot, and lope outside. He spends the longest amount of time in the bosal riding a 5/8. Hope this helps. Good luck and thank you for watching!
Anthony Nelson I’m from Alabama too.
@@sheliaellison7226 good to see there are other smart people wanting to learn.
You make it real tough for me to sell my 1/2 cracker. Florida bred and born.
I will train my house to pick me up! That's the only way to go 👌
Hi from southwest Louisiana I’m looking for books on the history of horses in America. Do you have any you recommend?
"When I was young and ignorant..." Buck Brannaman talks about that too. In today's world of "instant gratification" everyone wants to know "Well, how long is this gonna take?" Computers and businesses use profit algorithms to know exactly how much time is required." technological time management".... Problem is a horse is ahead of this technology...if you can only work with him within that "time" box, he will figure that out and outlast you...Horses are really advanced beings.
that throw at 7:30 . dam
Hello!
Thank you for the video.
Mr. Pat mentiones at 3:40 min that we shouldnt rope the horse at the gate, but he doesn’t say why.
Could you maybe clarify that?
Thanks a lot! 😊
Because the rope will hang up in the gate.
@@PatnDebPuckett Thank you :)
How do you keep a horse from throwing it's head when swinging
Where can I get a rope like that?
What the heck is a polo mallet pat?
🖐
I got a 14 year old horse he was a Mustang roped in Utah, I assumed he was roped off of. Boy was I wrong.
At 5:05...history Florida and the west.
