John from Merritt British Columbia Canada. Thank you for your efforts in teaching this in a concise and understandable way. I’d just about given up watching videos in frustration and listening to self promotion. I wish our terrain here was more conducive to this type of ranch roping and that the ranchers could see the value in not getting the cattle stirred up so bad. Sometime our branding look like a Chinese fire drill. Hats off to you and your wife.
Hey Pat. I found your video today after getting home (Payette, ID) from the Big Loop in Jordan Valley. I know these tips will help me with my roping. Thanks. Rich
My name is Mark Bossert. I’m originally from South Dakota but am now living in Colorado. I wanted to say thank you for your videos. I’m only 21 years old and I’ll I’ve done is cowboy my whole life. I never had anyone to teach me how to rope when I started so I watched your videos over and over and you were the inspiration and still are. Thank you
Nice videos Sir. Im from South Africa. Hardly any cattle farmers using horses but I aspire to attain the most knowlage to become a cowboy. Someday I would like coming to America and learn the cowboy way. Cheers
Hi Pat! Jay here from Canada, you are a man of much wisdom, and a sense of humor to boot. You are very thorough with your videos, I'm learning from your life's experiences, and enjoying every minute. Thanks you for helping all the people out there , including myself, to actually getting it right. Look forward to more videos. Gracias mi amigo por compartir tu sabiduria con nosotros.
Hello I’m from South Africa and l love you’re way of cattle ropeing , I’m still learning but I’m getting there thanks for your video it’s helping me a lot
Mr. Pat, I appreciate the time that you and Mrs. Deb are putting into these videos. I was having trouble with turnover loops because I learned wrong and getting past the muscle memory has been tough. It is finally coming together for me though. I first came across some of the shots while watching you and Buck in his Ranch Roping Dvd's. If you come out with instructional dvd's they will be a big success because you are a very gifted and natural teacher. There are a lot of us that will never see these shots because of geography and for this style of roping to continue, that will have to change. In my territory, I can't get ranch roping to take root but there are other areas where it will spread. The slow motion on this video was awesome. Western Kentucky.
Thanks Pat! As a newcomer and foreigner I tell you how much I enjoy your teaching. Since the first time I saw you in Tapadero DVD until now in TH-cam. Please, keep going teaching. What I most like is the you are just real. By the way, geography: I´m spaniard living in Spain!
Zach here from south west Indiana. Awesome videos, really appreciate you taking the time to teach this type of roping. I enjoy learning the technique of big loop roping.
good morning Mr Pat. I'm from Andorra, the only persone in the hole country that ropes, luckly there a plenty of cattle farms everywere so, i'm always busy. Thank you for theses videos that help all of us out
From Maryland. Grew up in California. Didn't learn about bridle horses, Dorrence brothers and Ray Hunt until I'd been away for several years. Turns out the Dorrance Ranch was only about an hour from where I lived. Big missed opportunity but never too late to learn. Thank you for all your videos. Fun and educational.
Good day Sir. I just want to thank you for taking the time to educate us common folk. We don’t get much teaching on roping down here in South Africa. I’d give anything to get over there and learn from a great man like yourself! Love watching your videos and really appreciate your attention to detail. I will definitely be applying all that I’ve learned from your videos to my ranch roping over here. God bless you, from all the roping folk in South Africa.

My father worked as a cowboy after WWII; he could do several “fancy” shots. He didn’t teach his kids anything “cowboy”... I’ve since learned that everything he made look easy is damn hard. Nice video
I just found these videos. I know its late but thanks. I live and was raised in the foothills of North Carolina. Grew up farming and ranching. For years the only roping I was familiar was team roping and tie down roping. I competed some up into my 20's. around 20 years ago I had the opportunity to ride and rope with a man that grew up in California with huge wealth of knowledge of horsemanship and roping that I had never heard of. The small amount of knowledge I was able to absorb from him has helped me tremendously over the years. Then about 15 years ago I met another man that was living local to me and originally from Tennessee. He had worked ranches all over the country and never stayed in one place very long and still doesn't. He was a regular the local roping pen on practice nights. I never seen him compete and not sure if he ever did. I am still amazed at his skill and the real world ranch style of roping he had. I have two sisters that have moved to Montana is the last ten years which results in a cross county trip on occasion for me and my family. I try to take those opportunities to visit with folks the can teach me and my son a little about the different styles of roping and horsemanship. My son is 14 and had the same interest I do. I am hoping he has the chance to be exposed to some of the same things I did over the years, but it is few and far between in this area. There is a place a couple of hours from us that host true ranch ropings/ doctoring, etc. Most of the others around here are called ranch roping but are far from it. We truly enjoy watching your videos and the knowledge you share. Thanks
I just found this video you made a while back.. I'm a rancher from Alberta Canada and I've always been a lousy roper.. I can catch a calf if I'm pretty much on top of him but have trouble making a safe dally.. This video showed me that maybe I got to start all over again with the basics. I just turned 80..never too old to learn.. I'm breaking a real nice little filly and dont want to mess her up with my sloppy roping.. Thanks kids.. I'll tune in to the rest of your videos ..maybe I'll get smarter instead of just older!! Cheers from Maggie at White Haven Farms
Mr.Pat and Ms.Deb,we are from Agra,Oklahoma a small town about 12 miles north of chandler ok. We are trying to preserve a line of curly horses. I have always been fascinated by the vaqueros mindset of it takes as long as it takes. Making a bridle horse is the ultimate because it builds upon that foundation without leaving holes. I enjoy your videos and explanations of why you do things to build to the next step. You're an artist and a good horseman. Thank you for making your videos.
@@gemcanyonproductions5660 is it the curly horse ranch? I think that's the name,the woman does the extreme cowboy thing? I love the San Diego area,my wife is from oceanside( camp Pendleton).
I a new roper from Bloomington, CA. I’m Abel Fernandez, it’s a pleasure to watch and learn from you and your wife, awesome cinematography! I’ll continue to plug your old style.
Thank you Mr Pat! I’m from California and expandin my tool belt as far as ranch ropin goes. This is so helpful and you make this very easy for any young bucks to learn! Appreciate y’all and thank you!
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge. Wish I had someone with your experience for in person training. I'm from New Mexico, just getting started with some cattle on the homestead and desperately needed this video
Hello Pat and Deb. My name is Nathan and I'm from central Alberta Canada. Preservers of the Californian stock and horsemanship are scarce in my part of the world. Your videos are truly an inspiration.
Good instruction, simple and to the point. I can appreciate that all the way from central Florida. Thanks for taking the time to put that video together.
MR. Puckett; Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. I have been trying to figure out the proper way to throw branding loops for a couple of years now. You do a fabulous job of breaking down the different loops. I will be practicing these the proper way now, thank you from Scio, Oregon
G'day all the way from the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia! Love your teaching Pat - core principles of wrist and loop control. Keep it up mate!
I'm Scots, long time living iin foothills of Sierra Nevadas Southern Spain. Loving the vids, I found a Western Horseman magazine in Kirkauldy, Scotland, somehow, back in late 1960's. I am a jeweller, but always caballos primero. Forty years learning with horses, right now starting a lovely 6 yr old lusitano. Loving the history and skills, so much great knowledge gets lost... thank goodness for internet. I learned with books, but mainly horses. Thank you!
Pizen switch... lol , Yerington Nevada. Thank you both so very much for all of your videos. I can’t begin to tell you how much I truly appreciate them.... pat your a master at your craft, please keep the roping videos coming... I can’t get enough of em 🤠
Been watching your videos for a ‘bout a year now. I Always learn something from you. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I would me glad to have the roping video when it’s available. I’m from central Arkansas.
Hello Pat and Deb. I was introduced to ranch roping at one of your clinics in Perry Ga about 20 yrs ago. I am glad to see you are still sharing your knowledge. I enjoy your Videos
I'm from Oregon, since you asked. Formerly Central Oregon, currently western Oregon on a small mom and pop operation running mostly yearlings. I only began roping last summer when I needed something to do while my back was still broken and I couldn't go back to riding yet. I mean, I could rope a bit as a kid, but nothing to get excited about. My father, grandfather and every great grandfather in known recollection cowboy-ed for a living, but I took about a decade's long hiatus because I'd gotten to the point in which I just felt like I couldn't stand horses, haha. But when I decided I wanted to get serious about this and do something I actually wanted to do with my life, I learned from some great mentors. The kinds of folk that won't necessarily openly tell you anything or give you more than a tip, but I understand now why that's the case. Nobody gets handy for free - you may not be paying in money, but everyone that wants to be the best they can be pays with something. Maybe it's saddling fifteen horses for a guy, hauling their stock, or simply watching, observing and never overstating your abilities that compels someone to teach you what they learned a harder way. At any rate, I appreciate your videos as well. That bit about splitting your spoke has made a tremendous difference for me on those backhand heel shots especially.
I enjoyed your insights. When Pat was in his early 30’s, he nearly quit cowboying because he was getting discouraged with the “turn the cow or kill the horse” mentality. He started searching for a mentor and learned how to start horses a better way. It turned everything around for him. Later on, he went to college and got a degree in ranch management. So I can appreciate why you took some time off. Thank you for the comment...
Pat Deb Lyle Mahaffey here I am just starting to learn this style of working my horses I really like your dvds like the way you explain things trying to work hard at it these baby’s just seem to get better by the day . Well better get ready to chore . By the way Dan Moyer says Hello
Era, TX Learning to rope. I’ve learned scoop loops from day workers in north and west Texas dragging calves in small pens and I was taught the trap shot from a Great Basin cowboy that brands calves in a rodear. My release on the trap shot is not very accurate, I’ve been told that’s the first shot I need to be proficient with. Seeing you break it down differently than I’ve seen before is helpful. Splitting the loop helps me visualize what the loop is doing upon release. Thank you. Brent
Thanks for all the tips . I'm in Arkansas ,I was told I was to old to learn.,to this I laugh .I cam from California was a plumber took after my dad . Moved here do to California politics. I'm 57 now bought my 1st horse when I came to Arkansas I was 52.now I start horses for a 2nd job.im also a grader operator for the county,never been around a grader till I moved here.( my point is ,your never to old to learn ) I have used a lot of your tips and you are someone that makes it fun to be around a horse.oh by the way I shoe my own horses.keep teaching all the thanks David
Thank you for a really good introduction on roping. I’m in the Andes Mts. of Peru. From NY . I have been in Peru 15yrs. Looking forward to more good videos.
Howdy! I am from The Volunteer State “Tennessee”. I discovered your videos one week ago and subscribed after watching two of them. I enjoy your no-nonsense straight to the point manner of instruction. Your dry humor adds to the enjoyment of learning from you. I look forward to watching as many of your videos as I can squeeze in. Stay safe, be healthy, and don’t trust the government!!
From Jacksonville, Illinois. We run a small ranch and would like to keep the western way of ranching going as long as possible. No one around us ropes or ranches the traditional way. Me and my boys are starting out roping and I find you videos very informative. Lots of stuff for us to work on. Thank you.
Thank you for all your information about roping and horses. I appreciate watching all your videos you put out. theres not much old timers out in Hawaii who wants to teach... Aloha
Thank you. On our next trip to Australia, we would like to stop in Hawaii on our way back. So please keep in touch so we can rope together or at least meet up. You can send an email to debpuckett@gmail.com so we have your contact info.
Hi. Just came across your video. Trying to teach myself how to use a lasso, at long last, fascinated by it since childhood, and the skills would surely come in handy when working with the sheep. I'm from Austria, but living in Ireland.
Hello from Iowa. Worked horses and cattle from Iowa to Colorado when I was younger and thought I had a pretty good handle on things of this nature. I am really glad you are sharing your knowledge and skills with the world this way. Such a great gift to all of us. I've yet to watch a video that I didn't learn some terrific skills and ways of doing things. Thanks so much for sharing. Greg
I really enjoy the videos, Mr. Puckett is an excellent teacher. I hope you do a compilation of his cattle and horse handling videos as well as the roping ones. Looking forward to when you get the videos completed and make them available. Terrell, TX
Always nice to get some hot tips from a fella that’s been there and done that a time or two and doesn’t seem to know how to miss. All the best. - Idaho
Another masterful tutorial! Can't wait for the roping video to come out! Born and raised in Billings MT and joined the army and now have a Farrier business out in Woodlawn TN just outside of Fort Campbell.
Pat, at 72, I’m learning to rope... I can ride and shoot, but never got the roping down... thoroughly enjoyed your lesson here... you have a good style of teaching... thank you for passing along your years of experience... Dolores, Colorado (Four Corners).
Mr Pat &Mrs Deb thanks for these how to’s! I keep goin back to them time and again please keep teachin and I’ll keep tryin them.. would love the chance to be a saddle partner to all that knowledge and stories!!
Wow... what a treasure of knowledge.... we team rope 5 day a week and this is fascinating stuff.... keep it coming and I will definitely share your channel. Thank you again God Bless from Bay Area California... Daniel
Howdy from north Texas! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with those of us who want to better our roping skills. You’re a great teacher.
Hi, from kodiak alaska...just a mom of little horse enthusiasts who recently took up dummy roping. I'm finding a lot of great info in your videos especially the one about teaching roping to your horse. We currently have no roping horses hopefully one day we will have one who will tolerate it. Your videos make me think its possible if we put in the time.
First generation unbranded leppy that will never make a great horseman, choosing my benefactor for the good equipment I've gathered up fightin' off the Paiutes from stealin' it here in McDermitt Oregon.. Now, I'll study the video.. Thanks for keepin' the industry alive.. Sincerely, Vernon Hasenkamp
Thanks for taking the time to teach us something so valuable. We are changing the way we've always handled our cattle. We see improvement in cattle and mules and horses. Marathon tx
Congratulations on the video, you have helped me a lot to learn more about horses and cows. I am from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, here already speaks a lot about horsemanship but almost nothing about stockmanship.
Thank you so much.. I'm going to work on this tomorrow. I'm a trainer and have been for many years. I'm always learning and have enjoyed learning from your videos. Kellyville, Oklahoma Thank you again.
Thank you for the video Mr. and Mrs. Puckett! I am going to start at square one with what you demonstrated. Unfortunately, I built most of my roping foundation on team roping. I have a lot of bad habits to break, but on the other hand I wouldn't know about the Californios style if it weren't for team roping. I am back from school now and I am excited to work on my roping this summer! Baltimore Maryland sends it's appreciation.
I love your videos I'm from Southeast Arizona that what you can mountains and I'm from I'd love to see some of your clinics but I've been watching you I'm getting a new mustang and I love to train them thank you mr. And God bless
Fleetwood PA here. I always wanted to learn to rope. I'm 68 now and pretty much giving up the "dream". I've been around horses all my life but never took the time to truly cowboy. Maybe in Heaven

Howdy! I am from The Volunteer State “Tennessee”. I discovered your videos one week ago and subscribed after watching two of them. I enjoy your no-nonsense straight to the point manner of instruction. Your dry humor adds to the enjoyment of learning from you. I look forward to watching as many of your videos as I can squeeze in. Stay safe, be healthy, and don’t trust the government!!
From Jacksonville, Illinois. We run a small ranch and would like to keep the western way of ranching going as long as possible. No one around us ropes or ranches the traditional way. Me and my boys are starting out roping and I find you videos very informative. Lots of stuff for us to work on. Thank you.
Thank you for all your information about roping and horses. I appreciate watching all your videos you put out. theres not much old timers out in Hawaii who wants to teach... Aloha
Thank you. On our next trip to Australia, we would like to stop in Hawaii on our way back. So please keep in touch so we can rope together or at least meet up. You can send an email to debpuckett@gmail.com so we have your contact info.
Hi. Just came across your video. Trying to teach myself how to use a lasso, at long last, fascinated by it since childhood, and the skills would surely come in handy when working with the sheep. I'm from Austria, but living in Ireland.
Thank you folks!
I watch and enjoy every video and I have a lot of respect for you.

Hello from Iowa. Worked horses and cattle from Iowa to Colorado when I was younger and thought I had a pretty good handle on things of this nature. I am really glad you are sharing your knowledge and skills with the world this way. Such a great gift to all of us. I've yet to watch a video that I didn't learn some terrific skills and ways of doing things. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is by far the best roping advice ive seen on you tube ever. Love your guys' videos!
Good God, I feel I will never be able to master these roping techniques! Such talent in these videos.
I really enjoy the videos, Mr. Puckett is an excellent teacher. I hope you do a compilation of his cattle and horse handling videos as well as the roping ones. Looking forward to when you get the videos completed and make them available. Terrell, TX
Always nice to get some hot tips from a fella that’s been there and done that a time or two and doesn’t seem to know how to miss. All the best. - Idaho
Thank you Pat and Deb for all the great videos you guys make. I'm looking forward to your roping dvd. Dylan Palm, Snohomish Washington

Queers and steers...haha
Howdy from north Texas! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with those of us who want to better our roping skills. You’re a great teacher.
Hi, from kodiak alaska...just a mom of little horse enthusiasts who recently took up dummy roping. I'm finding a lot of great info in your videos especially the one about teaching roping to your horse. We currently have no roping horses hopefully one day we will have one who will tolerate it. Your videos make me think its possible if we put in the time.
First generation unbranded leppy that will never make a great horseman, choosing my benefactor for the good equipment I've gathered up fightin' off the Paiutes from stealin' it here in McDermitt Oregon.. Now, I'll study the video..
Thanks for keepin' the industry alive..
Sincerely, Vernon Hasenkamp
Really instructional tutorial, I'm a new roper from New York and this is a nice base to build off of, well done!
Porterville California. My husband and I have been watching. Thank you for taking the time for these wanna be cow folks!
Thanks for taking the time to teach us something so valuable. We are changing the way we've always handled our cattle. We see improvement in cattle and mules and horses. Marathon tx
Thanks. Love the slow motion shots. Makes the shots much easier to fallow.

Thank you for sharing your life time of knowledge. You and your lovely wife have so much to give. A big hello from Idaho Falls, Idaho

Good learning movies from a practical person who has done it for real not competing greetings from central Queensland Australia
Howdy, I’m from Colorado and I was looking for different styles to try. Very informative and great instruction to the old ways
Great video ! I will never be catching a cow with a rope but it was very interesting to discover all these fine technics. Thank you from France !!!
I run cattle in summon Valley California and Parkfield California I do enjoy your videos and I learn something every time I watch one thank you
Congratulations on the video, you have helped me a lot to learn more about horses and cows. I am from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, here already speaks a lot about horsemanship but almost nothing about stockmanship.
Thank you so much.. I'm going to work on this tomorrow. I'm a trainer and have been for many years. I'm always learning and have enjoyed learning from your videos. Kellyville, Oklahoma
Thank you again.
Thank you for the video Mr. and Mrs. Puckett! I am going to start at square one with what you demonstrated. Unfortunately, I built most of my roping foundation on team roping. I have a lot of bad habits to break, but on the other hand I wouldn't know about the Californios style if it weren't for team roping. I am back from school now and I am excited to work on my roping this summer!
Baltimore Maryland sends it's appreciation.
