- In this video, Pat shows how to throw a diamond hitch, a hitch that is yet to be named, and how to sling. We have a friend who wants to ride the Pacific Crest Trail and she needs a horse that she can ride and pack...we happen to have such a horse. So this demonstration is done on Gallo, an 8 year old ranch horse that stands 14.1 hands tall. For more information, visit our website www.thedisciplinedride.com .

Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.😗
I "invented" that simple X hitch in 2009 while packin mules in the Grand Canyon. I call it "The figure 8". You're the 1st guy I've seen use it. I have never seen it in a book or video. I was pretty sure I was not the 1st to figure it out.
Enjoy all your videos. We have a lot in common.
That is one patient horse! She's a keeper.
thank you I am one of the 7 people gratful for the knowledge shared by a real packer
There is a sort of art to everything you so..., it is a beautiful thing to watch.
I love how you cover, why you do what you do.
I'm working my dream colt along with your colt. I can't thank you enough for the lessons I'm learning form you. My horse thanks you too.
Patt this one of your most informative videos yet you are the man
Deckers are nice because the bars are adjustable.
Great camera work!
Thankyou for explaining in such detail! I Always enjoy!
Lots of information - thanks:) Glad you got your power back:)
Oh! We used those when I went on a Wider Opportunity in the Big Horn Mountains! ( 1975)
My home!
I'm glad to hear you mention mantie cloth. Thank you for your videos. I wish I could remember 1/2 of the stuff that I was taught by my grandpa about packing.
Thanks for your wonderful videos! The horses are so calm.
Thanks a million from SE Idaho!
I am still recovering and I enjoy watching and listening to you
Dang Pat you really have your act together. I really enjoy watching your videos thanks
it’s beautiful watching you, it triggers me going back and do my thing. im looking forward meeting your and take private lesson 🙂
Love the hitch! Thank you for the info. That load isn’t going anywhere!
God I love your videos. So fun and informative. Keeps me smiling in the Canadian cold right now. Thank you
That was extremely interesting, I had no idea of the process of preparing a load on a horse mule etc. Thank you for sharing such informative information!! Really enjoy the rawness of your videos!
wow awesome didn't realize there was that much to this
Thanks everything in this video makes so much sense. Comon sense thank you
Looks a good set up. Ours was WW1 Light Horse howitzer macnine gun univeral pattern swivel tree fitted with breast plate, britchen and crupper - girth points front and back and mohairs girths crossed underneath - leather pack bags about the same size as your panniers, topped with either rugs&/or swags draped over the top - seat belt webbing surcingle with tapered leather end around the lot, with a recatangular buckle frame (no prong) - and after doing the "math" - a second one further down. Putting the buckle about the top of the load pulled down and through the second and up again (a' la sheep shanktype of knot). All in the Aussie alps. They never moved an inch. No galls or rubs. Horses for Courses of course. Pack a station wagon and trailer these days!! Interestingly the strapping was apparently wattle bark tanned and marked Aust Govt 1917 - in perfect condition - unlike me these days. Blessings.
Excellent👍
Very good Pat. Different styles are interesting to me. I’m no packer, have done a little on my own. Your slinging style using the sawbuck l like. Have seen slinging done on a decker, barrel hitch, basket hitch. Have not seen these two hitches done on a sawbuck, now I know. To me, your slinging style is a hybrid between the barrel hitch and the basket hitch, but what do I know. What I know, I learned on TH-cam.
Your style of getting luggage, cargo loaded on an equine I like. Interesting.......fun stuff. Lemon meringue pie in the outback, that’s living large LOL. You will have to let us know how that works out. 🇺🇸👍🏻
EXCELENTE!!!
Thanks for the information. I don't know the difference between a true packer and someone who has done it for a living but if you say you're not than I guess so. Hello from Louisiana
Your explanation is marvelous and easy to follow. It reminds me of a book, Horses, Hitches and Rocky Trails
Joe Back from Dubois, WY.
Thank you for the great video. I would like to hear any stories from the heart six I worked there 13 yrs ago still guide out of Dubois. Thanks again love the videos.
Brooks Lake Lodge for me.
Pat has a lot of stories of his time at the Heart 6! He was there in the late 60’s before he went to Vietnam so it’s been awhile. But I’m sure he rode many of the same ground that you rode. I know one story that there was a bottle of whisky at the far end of the wrangle pasture in a crook of a tree. Whoever wrangled that day could ride by and take a hit to start their day off...😆
Thanks for another great vid. Don’t let the hater internet trolls get you down. Mask or no mask we are all Americans.
Thank you for your support!
Pat I've been packing most of my life and I was taught to tie the diamond same as you to keep the rope from sliding. I wish you had done the Double Diamond. I like the Diamond, Double Diamond, Arizona Box hitch and the Crow's Foot. Those are the ones I use the most. I just saw where you got bucked off and broke your neck. Hope you're doing alright and mend pretty quick.
Seven people will get in touch with you and they will probably give you ten different names for it! Hahaha
morning, merry christmas. if you haven't met Renee at McGee creek in bishop it would be worth a call. k been a while for me but they should know where he is..k
Good job Pat.
When did you work for Heart Six? Thats my home country. I hope we meet someday.
In the late 1960’s.
So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘
Hey guys I just got myself a pack mule tree that I am putting back together. I'm working on the rigging right now I was hoping if you could help me out on how far you have bottom of the tree to the bottom of the O ring and how long you have the piece of weather in between those holding them together?
Are those rawhide boxes? If so, do they have wood inserts? I do some packing in the Northern Sierra for an outfit using a string of Belgian mules. We use Decker saddles and canvas bags. I normally tie box hitches, diamond hitches, or for hay bales I use the basket hitch or crows foot. I enjoyed your video and learned a few useful things from it. Thank you!
Yes they are. No they don’t.
Why are you wearing a mask? Especially outdoors? I do appreciate all you do...keep up the good work!
I will only answer this question one more time because of your politeness. This video was shot in Los Angeles County last fall during one of the many surges when the hospitals were being stressed to their limits. The owner of the property we were on were kind enough to to let us gather with a few friends and give this demonstration. These kind people were and still are the sole caregivers to their elderly parents and they asked that we all observe the CDC guidelines of that time. Just off camera, were a half dozen or so students, all wearing masks and standing 6 feet apart minimum. This should not even be something people notice or question as it is a personal choice and often done out of regard for other people. Focus on the excellent content. As always, thank you for watching!
Geeze I'm a 52 year old man & I've ordered weeks ago your missing link bit.. I still dont have it I also understand your bit maker is bizzy fightin fires ..I think you are awesome in the horse sense you have ..why in the holy name of God are you sportin that mask outside...with love ..
PEACE !!!
We’re all sporting masks out of an abundance of caution and respect for our hostess. She was kind enough to host us at her place in Los Angeles county where there are a huge number of Covid 19 cases right now and no ICU beds.
See? We do insane, illogical, scientifically absurd things because we’re GOOD PEOPLE...and we film/post it on the internet to PROVE it.
Mr Townsend, if you are so offended by the fact that we wear masks in public, you have the option of not watching our free youtube content.
@@PatnDebPuckett amen
I'd like to know more on those boxes.
Me too!
Hi pat up here from southern Alberta Canada. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to tie a knot on the lead rope, on spade bit horse.
It’s a bowline.
@@PatnDebPuckett how do you tie a bowline
Oh come on Justin. Look it up. There are any number of videos on the subject.
@@PatnDebPuckett oh boy, bowlinine is FUN, to try and explain!!!:)
how wide is the back cinch
Great explication. What are your panniers made from. They look cowhide?
They were made with a green hide stretched over a frame. Once the hide had cured, the frame was removed. They are really nice panniers and very lightweight.
Thanks for the reply. From where you are located are you familiar with the Oynx ranch? I had family friends that used to run the operation.
Yes, we day work for the family who used to own the Onyx. The Rudnick family. Many of our videos working cattle and branding were shot on their lease in Bakersfield.
@@PatnDebPuckett small world. We had some family friends that I think use to work that ranch.
You folks do nice work.
Who was that masked man?
(I've waited months to use that line!)
I'm always jealous of you two. You have friends all over the country. Besides my wife, I only have 6 friends. Two of which eat Purina Dog Chow and the other 4 eat grass and hay.
Six four legged friends that are loyal as long as take good care of them is a great deal!
Deb, do you know of a good place to get the wide mohair cinches for the back cinch? Thanks!

Pretty funny - I worked by myself because nobody like me.
How do you pigtail additional pack animals ?
With a thin piece of cotton rope about 12 inches long. We’ve never used it, but have seen people tie their additional pack animals off on both sides of the pack animal in front.
Very interesting and detailed information. Thanks for sharing! But is the mask necessary? You are outside and it doesn’t look crowded, haha.
I’m assuming you’re talking about the video on packing. In that video, we were standing in Los Angeles county at the home of a friend who is the sole caretaker of her elderly parents. Pat is himself high risk for a serious case of Covid. There are zero ICU beds available in LA. And someone dies of Covid in that city every 6 minutes. Out of respect for our friends and the situation, we chose to wear masks. What irks me is the time I have to take to address your question when it a) does not affect the content or quality of the video, and b) is really none of your business, and c) out of concern for my 70 year old Vietnam veteran husband with breathing problems, you should be applauding rather than questioning our choice to wear masks. Get it?
@@PatnDebPuckett Hey, no problem. I’m 68 and a veteran, too. I didn’t mean anything by it. I wear a mask when I’m inside or in a crowd but just wondered if it was necessary outside with no one around. I didn’t know where you were or your situation and wondered if it was mandated everywhere in California. Just curious, and it wasn’t intended to offend anyone.
Sorry for jumping on you like that. I’ve been fielding comments about Pat wearing a mask in that video from some really rude people. What people also didn’t see because the video was edited was that some of our students would walk up to see something or ask a question and it didn’t make sense to keep putting on and taking off a mask. But as you know, it’s become a political thing rather than a public health thing and that puts me on the defensive. Again, I apologize for overreacting.
@@PatnDebPuckett That’s OK, no problem! I understand. Your videos are great and that’s what counts. Yes, the mask does create controversial reactions, and I understand your frustrations if people are rude about it. And I wear one in crowded situations inside, and outside (but I’m rarely if ever in crowded situations either way if I can help it, haha). I see your point in keeping it on since students were there and under the circumstances you pointed out. Take care, God bless, stay healthy and safe, and keep up the good work with the videos!
I’ve heard emergency knot or 911
If he did I got to question everything your saying.
Not to be a dink, but who makes that hat? Where can I find a good one?
Pat buys a regular felt hat and shapes it over a steaming tea kettle.
I’d trade the mask for a britchen...
Go hug a tree Karen
@@FallcryMutt Go hug a tree Karen
Why are you using a riding pad and not a packsaddles pad?
I believe Pat mentioned in the video that the panniers are small enough that the shorter pad works just fine. In warm weather, it’s also better for the horse to have less pad if the load doesn’t hang so far down.
How long is your lash rope ?and are your paniards made of cowhide?
Dude you're smarter than 3/4 of the people I know.
you're afraid the horse is going to get covid? Oh my aching butt!
Don’t be rude and don’t make a comment about situations you don’t fully understand. This video was shot in Los Angeles County during the time when there were no more ICU beds available in any hospital. On the other side of the camera were standing about a dozen spectators all with masks on. The owner of the property cares for her elderly parents with compromised immune systems and she requested that everyone on her property wear masks at all times. In future, just ask a polite question rather than jumping to conclusions about things you know nothing about.
Why are you wearing a mask?
Because this demonstration was done in Los Angeles County where there are zero ICU beds due to the pandemic. Out of an abundance of caution and respect for our hostess, we all wore masks that day and stayed at least 6 feet apart.
Where did you hear about the ICU numbers? Have you checked ICU numbers in years passed? Here in Central Oregon, we’ve long had the knowledge that our hospitals were overwhelmed in flu seasons. We are being told there is a pandemic, yet very few have died. Our death toll is actually less for 2020 than 2019. We are also being told no one has the flu anymore. Apparently, the flu has disappeared from the planet. The Devil is using this lie to divide people. Divide and conquer. Seek Christ. Pursue Him before it is too late. Repent of sin and follow Jesus. He will lead you through this mess and into eternal life.
@@jamietownsend3677 We clearly have a very different view of the world so it is pointless to continue this conversation. Be well and I pray that you and your family stay healthy.
Never thought I would see a mask on Pat,the horse is probably wondering that same thing to.masks don't work ,you might as well be breathing threw a chain link fence. Lol.
Well since you brought up a subjects that affects you not one bit, here’s the deal. This video was shot in Los Angeles county when there were exactly zero ICU beds left last fall. The owners of the property are also care takers for their elderly parents. They asked that everyone in attendance that day wear masks and practice social distancing. You have no idea how many people were watching this demonstration, do you? No. You also need to understand that many small viruses are carried in droplets which do not travel through masks. The fact that Pat is wearing a mask does not in any way affect the quality of the video or the knowledge he is handing out FOR FREE. If you don’t like the video, you do not have to watch it.
Sorry about the comment, the videos that you And Pat put out are very good and appreciated.
Thank you.
take that mask off so you can breath hah
Mask are you frigin kidding?
Here we go again. First, we are giving a demonstration with students coming close to ask questions and to observe. So for that reason alone, it’s easier to keep a mask on than to take it on and off. Second, this demonstration occurred in LOS ANGELES COUNTY where there are NO ICU beds available and a person dies of Covid every 6 minutes every single day. Third, the lady who hosted this demonstration is the sole caregiver of her elderly parents so we considered it respectful to wear a mask while on her property. Fourth, Pat is a Vietnam veteran with breathing problems who is at high risk to have a serious case of Covid19. Fifth, the mask affected the content and quality of this video NOT AT ALL. And sixth, it’s really none of your business and you should be thrilled that this man who gives all of this valuable information away FOR FREE chooses to protect himself and his friends from a deadly virus. If it is so offensive to you, you are free to not watch our videos.
Why Are you wearing a mask?! Your outside working with a horse. Like really

Like really.
Hi! This is too so cool! You need to put out more vids. The scene at 1:07 is my fav. You need to collaborate with Bad Friends. Their vids really are like Vitaly mixed with Casey Neistat! They are the most insane group of friends on the planet and they get drunk in every vid.
You should definitely see their YT out and give the boys a subscribe! 👉 #WarningBadFriends
Get out of here bot!
can you please take the mask off. It makes me very anxious. I totally dig your information and tell a lot of people about it but I can't watch a video with someone wearing a mask. Thank you. Thank you for your Service. I'm a DAR -- Thanks to my family... all gave some...some gave all... God Bless you and Deb!
Sorry. This video was shot at a friend’s place near Los Angeles, where they are literally out of ICU beds due to the high rate of Covid19. Out of respect for our friends and for our own safety, we wore masks that day. It should make you more anxious for our wellbeing if we were not wearing a mask.
Viscous. Most people I know who wear masks are viscous when they encounter opposition. That’s because they’re wearing them out of fear, not knowledge. Think of an animal in a trap. They also like to tell of how they wear it for others and for righteousness sake. Lies. The enemy’s plan to turn us against one another has worked perfectly.
@@jamietownsend3677 oh for pity’s sake, shut your damn mouth. If they stop making videos because of people like you who are repeatedly harassing them after they asked you to stop I am confident I won’t be the only one that will be pissed. No one sees eye to eye on the mask issue and they are within their right to wear one. Leave them alone and go bother someone else.
@@jamietownsend3677 go out, breathe deep, catch the virus, tell us all how you then suffered. Create a new y tube channel, but basically F off
It’s really easy for him to take the mask off. Click the “X” in the top right corner of the video.
