“From the outside it’s like watching a turtle die, but from the inside it’s absolutely exhilarating” I love this. Because I know the feeling and the feeling of the reward, even if no one else sees it as anything. Because anticlimactic is exactly what we are after. Thank you Pat and Deb. Really truly enjoyed this.
Greetings, patience is a virtue! My grandfather told me the only way you learn is with your ears and eyes open and your mouth closed! Grandpa Rudy was a farrier, I would tag along with him and watch him trim and shoe. My job was to hand him tools before I was in grade school. He was a quiet person, deliberate and gentle, he taught me to listen. You have the gift, thankyou for sharing. All the best.
Watching you I remember the feelings the first time I got on my filly. She was 2 1/2 and I was a 14. The first of the best rides of my life! She was so smart, fast and eager to learn, God had his hand on both of us. Before I ever got on her we did all the ground work and I read everything I could get my hands on to learn how to do everything right for her and I read an article by an elderly woman at least in her late 70's and she was still breaking and training horses, the right way! I did everything she said and I got on my horse for the first time and we rode off like a team that had been riding together for years! I am glad to see you sharing your knowledge. That was in 1978, I will be forever grateful to that horsewoman for sharing her years of knowledge in that article as I know someone will be grateful down the road that you made these videos.
Watching from Australia, missing my late Dad, who despite having polio as a boy, lived to be 99, a saddler and horse whisperer extraordinaire.I loved horses but never learnt to ride, at 70 am too old and scared.But that was a beautiful masterclass, thank you so much. 🐎
I'm 72 and just re-started dressage training and physical therapy to deal with my injuries that prevent walking without a cane. At least on a horse I can sit! I'm starting nice and easy with a patient teacher. We're all the way back to slow walk trot lunge lessons until I get my natural seat back. Loving it. Don't be afraid. You can hurt yourself sliding on your kitchen floor.
You are never too old. I helped an 82-year-old woman ride for the first time since she was in her early 20s. She had quit riding because she had her back fused. Now, she doesn't care. So, she does what she wants.
@@leaannshook7207 66 yrs. on me, also. Rode in high school, but nothing simce then. NOW, not worth breaking a hip or shoulder over. Lol. I ADORE HORSE's.! So now i read about horse, listen to cowboy tales..@ fantasize about the Old West, Cowboys @ my beloved Amerucan Indian...the 1st True American..AND master(s) of Horsemanship. Their horse's were EVERYTHING to them.
Pat thank you for showing folks that you don't have to hurry, especially with a young one. I personally appreciate that you have made it a point to spend the time with your horse, because at the end of the day you have the opportunity to create the kind of horse you want. Unfortunately a lot of good horsemen & women never get the chance to take the necessary time & steps required to make a legitimate Bridle horse. Due to alot of factors or circumstances, mainly because the horses usually belong to someone else, and most of the time that someone else has limited time, money, expectations, or all of the above. Horses don't care about Clocks, Calendars, or deadlines. I know for a fact that the way a young horse is started good or bad, 100% of the time will have a negative, or positive impact the quality of their entire lives. There are lots of horse trainers in this world, a hand full of Horsemen/women, & only a few of those horsemen are truly great at starting colts (young horses). Those individuals that can teach a horse how to learn, create an opportunity for horses to be successful any where they go, & with any one that owns them. Thanks again for sharing.
I can appreciate what went on here.I picked up my wild mustang 2 yrs. ago. like pat said, I've been on my BLM mustang for months, I just haven't had my leg over her. Yesterday she allowed me to ride her for the first time with absolutely no excitement. She was totally relax the entire ride. I couldn't have asked for a better first ride, coming from someone that had zero experience with horses. I was on cloud 9.
Never got to live the ranch or cowboy life, but watching you today has made me a better person already. Just hearing you talk about betrayal was a life lesson in itself. I had always measured the quality of man in comparison to the quality of my Father, he told a lot of stories in order to teach me a lot of things, he never gave up ground that he squarely and honestly earned. I miss him a lot he’s been gone 13 years now, after watching a couple of your videos and now this one, it brings me back to why I miss him and remember how much love there was. I see that same quality in you sir....I think I’ll subscribe and stick around and listen, it makes me happy to see you “win the world”.
I was 14 with a green appy mare (Lucy) when I started with horses, and I had a trainer who taught me to scream first and demand submission later. One of the things that changed my life, with and without horses in mind, was "Ask, Tell, Command". I don't remember where I learned it but it improved my entire outlook. Completely turning around and throwing away my trainer's teachings. While it's proven itself in its own right, I'm young and inexperienced. I've been worrying a bit if my newfound "Ask, Tell, Command" was actually right, as my priority is always to care for those I love and prevent abuse of my Lucy no matter what. It took me a hot minute to realize that your "Here. It. Comes." is "Ask, Tell, Command" in disguise. It warms my heart and fills me with comfort to know that you prove its a worthy method, day in and day out, in the minor and major situations, through work and training, psychology and care of your horses. It feels great to see such damnable proof that I'm doing something right to prevent ever "betraying" her again. The peaceful quiet and trust is worth more to me than gold. Keep doing what you're doing. You're an absolute treasure to those coming after you.
Watched this last night and my eyes started leaking when Pat stepped on for the second ride. The deal of letting Chinaco rest and process , was really evident as soon as the saddling began for the second ride . Truly AMAZING!! Even before you pointed it out, I could see that the colt knew something was up, even while you were just walking back and forth outside the pen, I could see his mind working . It is a privilege to be able to learn from you and follow this journey . My eyes are still leaking ! Thanks for all you do Deb and Pat.
First things first: god bless you for calling your wife, your bride. And god bless her also. Thnx for your love of her, and animals, and it’s love of people too because i think that you think, if you can be good w/ horse critters, then others can too, if they will pay attention to the little subtle stuff. It’s the little things that count, for human beings and horses
I’ve learned so much over the last year since I’ve stumbled onto your channel. One of the most important to me has been the idea of not “betraying the horse”. I can look back and see times that I’ve done this without realizing it. That idea has really been forefront in my mind with the last 2 horses I’ve started. Thank you
Mr. Puckett, in my 50+ years with horses, either delivering them or backing them. When it came to backing, I've found you've had to ACCEPT every try they give you, even if it's the wrong one. Eventually it will be the correct one. And when that happens? There are no words to describe the feeling of success in training that horse in its first forward motion after your ask. Thank you for the video Sir!! Wishing both you and Pat well. All the best from Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Really a fascinating video. I'm not a horse guy, but starting to appreciate the behavior of horses. It takes real psychoanalysis to deal with the animal, but if done right the horse is perfectly content to trust you and take your lead.
Such excellent education. It's nice to see Quality Horsemanship displayed like this as much as possible. From the horses point of view and building a relationship. Thinking mans game for sure! :) Feel, Timing, and Balance. Thanks for all your videos..
It's cold and snowy in upstate NY today. I came in from the barn, warmed up a bowl of stew, and watched Chinaco's first ride. Warm wishes from New York! This video made my day.
Congratulations on that first ride Pat and Chinaco! I took the whole day to watch this, 10 minutes at a time. I'm an older rider as well, and these videos have taught me so much, to the benefit of my horses. Many thanks, and happy trails with Chinaco!
Oh my! I always find it fascinating to watch these western riders, it takes 30 minutes just to release that saddle and get it off it seems, and other little details. It looks so much more comfortable than riding in a conventional way. Almost like they are glued on to the horse. Also they have that little thing they hold on to (in Iceland as kids we are just supposed to hold on the mane with dear life). And they also tie stuff to the saddle, I am surprised there is not a cup holder on there hahahaha. This man is very good, I admire him. Have myself moved away from pressure and release and unto positive reinforcement. It takes so much quicker and the horse is positive and curious the whole time. For example by having a stationary target this horse would have moved forward much quicker by a sound signal and the target. Instead of thinking for 20 minutes "what does he want me to do?" or worse yet "this is uncomfortable how do get out of this situation?". With positive reinforcement you could have just said "target" and the horse moves there even if a bit perplexed that you are sitting on him and having him move at the same time. Of course sitting (mounting)will be trained in first. None the less I admire this, and its a classical way of doing it. I have trained horse for over 20 years and have only been doing positive reinforcement for less than one year so I am not critisizing in any way, just noticing by watching this how differently my approach is today.
I’m 73 and in good health. I wanted a horse again before I was too old. We got a sweet natured 5 year old Palamino stallion, a Missouri Fox Trotter that was green. He’s been since gelded and now we’re ready for training by a professional like yourself and I’ll be there to learn too from one of the best.
I really enjoyed your video, just came across you. I love your attitude with training, they're many lessons in there and I don't mean with just the horses. Listening to animals is the most important thing you can do. I love horses but never had my own pony, rode friends ponies. I have a Border Tarrier, I listen to her,and the love I get back from her is priceless. Will subscribe.
This was wonderful to watch. So much to learn. The colt, Chinaco is left compliant, respectful and still full of beans! Once again, Pat and Deb, thank you.
Love it when a plan comes together! Amazing first and second rides. I pay special attention to any videos you post with Chinaco. His temper is a blessing in a way, to know when to do something different in that moment. The breathing/relax shut-off switch that you have built into his training really works well. Your comment about the microphone not coming with feeding instructions cracked me up! I thoroughly enjoy your training videos and sense of humor.
Thank you Pat and Deb for sharing your good work. It has been informative and enjoyable watching the Chinaco journey. I have learnt alot. Thanks for the lesson.
Really enjoyed this demonstration with you and Chinaco I was able to see the changes in his expressions as you worked through the progression!! Found it really obvious the second saddling how much more understanding he demonstrated!! Great job. PAt videos are very helpful, and I look forward to hearing your stories!! Thanks for sharing!!
"Give me one good horse with a good fittin' saddle that is easy on your back." He managed to find that lope cuz I was helpin' you guys. lol You're gonna have a real nice horse Pat. Thanks for sharing.
you should make shirts that say "You're fine, don't worry about it" and " Now that we've had our Disney moment..." I would totally buy them. ps, Wonderful video!
Hi Pat and Deb thanks for another good video ,really like the way you handle your horses and also get a history Lesson as well, I just wish i had been able to have my own discovery of the States at a lot younger age. When I saw Chinaco roll it reminded me of a saying my dad would say a horse in good condition will roll over but a horse thats not in good condition will only roll half way because he has not got the padding on his bones and its uncomfortable to go right over .well you all stay safe
I've been watching every video and waiting for this one magical moment. Nice. Chinaco doesn't "trot" he GLIDES... He's going to make a wonderful horse to team up with. I wished it were me... lol
Dear Deb & Pat thank you so much I watched your journey with Chinaco from beginning and it is so great to see how your team progresses. Many thanks for sharing and keeping the tradition & knowledge alive.
Heya Pat and Deb, I am currently starting a 3 year old filly.. I reviewed the content just for my own piece of mind. It has been a pleasent journey over the first 3 rides. No blow ups, just alot of try. What has been important to me is the breathing and the time to process thought. What a winner. I'm no real horseman by any means.. I'm one of the guys that can hang on.. but as i get older... i'm 52 this year, I don't need a bust up. A bit of time, alot of kindness, freeing up the shoulders, showing some forward movement and offering direction all working well but the time to stop and process the thought and breath....its doing ud both well. Thanks heaps mate for the lesson. I might see you one day when your down here in Australia.
Pat I want to thank you for what you do with your videos. I thought I knew so much about training a horse, but I have been so wrong on so many levels. Again thank you Sincerely David M.P.
Love the story telling, billings Montana here....I’ve been riding horses my whole life my brothers and I were hired out to be ranch hands to our neighbors during the summer....I’ve sacked out many broncs but I dont even know 1/4 of you knowledge of horses
Hello Mr. Pat, I was amazingly refreshed to see you're using a method of working with and training horses that was based fully on simple, basic common sense from the horse's point of view 😊👌👍
He looks like one of my horses I had, Dixie, since she was 6 Mo. we taught each other a lot! I’ve grown up in horses, I absolutely enjoyed watching you and your wife.
Mr. Pat thank you for showing us your journey on teaching a young horse, it has really taught me a lot about what I have been doing wrong and correcting my bad habits before I ruined my horses.
Another thing I've found over the years of backing babies, and is one must have the patience of Job and reward any try that they give you with a release immediately. Just my opinions. Thank you for your care. From a former Paramedic, and someone who rehabilitates horses from injury and get them back into riding, and delivering babies every Spring. The ones I end up backing are usually ones I've delivered, but I have had horses that were started incorrectly and had to be re taught the foundation. If you have a good foundation, you'll have a horse that will try its heart and soul to do what you ask if you break it down and make it black and white. Every horse is different. Keep your mind open to Learning. If you do, and you ask questions, trust me, us old timers love to share what we've learned and are still learning everyday from every horse we come in contact with. Close your mind to learning, and you end up blind. Stay Safe Everyone. From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Love your training I am 71 and don't ride any more. Legs are bad. You make sense to me. I was taught by old timers how to ride a train. I called it reading the horse. Love your videos... Don't watch many horse training videos
It is an honour and a pleasure to watch you starting Chinaco. Thank you for sharing this and all the other videos of Chinaco as well as the other horses. What you do, how you do it, and why you do it validates my approach to young horses, but more importantly, it gives me some new ideas and it makes me think of how much more effective I could be with even less. I am looking forward to seeing Chinaco's journey as it progresses. Thank you also for the countless useful videos on bits, roping etc. And last, but not least, all your pearls of wisdom, history lessons and humour. Greetings from Ballarat, Australia.
Very nice Pat...and inspiring, must have been a proud moment for you after all the time you’ve put in to him, so far. Can’t wait to see him straight up one day!
This is one of the best channels on YT! It’s fascinating to watch you work. I love how you refer to Deb as your bride😊 Way better than some of the junk you’ll find on mainstream television. Not to mention the scenery is just incredible!
You're a wise man, I love listening to you talk. I was watching that colt when you were telling the Old Spanish Trail story and he was sniffing and licking the tack in a curious manner. He was happy and fine.
Thanks Pat, that was great! I was never much of a drinker but when starting colts I sometimes felt like Ray Hunt and Ty Murray rolled into one! That’s when I collected some scars. At 58 some have suggested I might be “a little long in the tooth” to be starting colts. Good to you’re still at it!
This made me tear up. I hope to be able to do this one day, and do it right like you have. This gives me hope. I've been watching your videos for awhile now, and you have helped me learn many lessons that I've put to use on my old 18 year old I bought who needed a tune up (hadn't been ridden for over a year). Thanks for being you, and thanks deb for filming this great stuff!
Great example of taking the time it takes and keeping the relationship and the dignity intact. Thanks Pat and Deb.....your unknown friend in the north in Canada...Jer
I love the way u break.but also wanted to say a huge thank you for helping educate people of the history you spoke of indians and mustangs.thank u .. cherokee pride .
awesome! you did good! I also appreciate the history of Santa Fe. Thank you!...oh and Chinaco remembered that it there maybe kids watching for you...lol!
So wonderful to spend a full hour with you! Really enjoyed that. The history lessons and compassion are a powerful draw. The Native Americans in my area continued to be harmed by the propaganda and policies of the wicked witch of Lansing. It's disgusting.
It's my first time watching your videos and all I can say is thanks for the lesson in horsemanship it truly was a master class and of course I'm a new subscriber!
😎👍🏽👏🏽 OUTSTANDING explanation and experience. I see much of myself in your technique but I learned some as well. One can never over lear for, with all the similarities each horse as many quirks as well. Thank you.
“From the outside it’s like watching a turtle die, but from the inside it’s absolutely exhilarating” I love this. Because I know the feeling and the feeling of the reward, even if no one else sees it as anything. Because anticlimactic is exactly what we are after. Thank you Pat and Deb.

I'm Mexico rancheros we said. If you looking with care, even of the animals you can learn. I think is true
Watching you I remember the feelings the first time I got on my filly. She was 2 1/2 and I was a 14. The first of the best rides of my life!

I'm sixty-six and I would get on a horse again if I had the chance. Miss being around horses
I'm 72 and just re-started dressage training and physical therapy to deal with my injuries that prevent walking without a cane. At least on a horse I can sit! I'm starting nice and easy with a patient teacher. We're all the way back to slow walk trot lunge lessons until I get my natural seat back. Loving it. Don't be afraid. You can hurt yourself sliding on your kitchen floor.
You are never too old. I helped an 82-year-old woman ride for the first time since she was in her early 20s. She had quit riding because she had her back fused. Now, she doesn't care. So, she does what she wants.
KA...Strange that you never learned to ride...having your Dad around to teach you. Hello from western PA...

That was great. I appreciate your slow and steady approach. It's always great to watch a horse/ colt "get it."
You are humble, but there’s no shame in the pride you must feel as Chinaco responds so beautifully to your skilled horsemanship. Lucky colt!
He got his groove on! Sooo enjoyable to watch you both!! THANK YOU 😊
First things first: god bless you for calling your wife, your bride. And god bless her also.

Thank you Pat and Deb and Chinaco. You guys are the best! Humbled and respectful... from Victoria, Australia.
It's cold and snowy in upstate NY today. I came in from the barn, warmed up a bowl of stew, and watched Chinaco's first ride. Warm wishes from New York! This video made my day.
Thank you so much for sharing your first ride on your colt. Will be exciting to see him grow into the horse he will become..
Congratulations on that first ride Pat and Chinaco! I took the whole day to watch this, 10 minutes at a time. I'm an older rider as well, and these videos have taught me so much, to the benefit of my horses. Many thanks, and happy trails with Chinaco!
Best hour of video I’ve ever watched. Thank you!
Im so excited for you, being able to take your time and got what you wanted ! Thankyou for always taking time to explain!
Hanging in there?!? Better believe I’m hanging in there. You, Sir, are damn good at what you do. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my! I always find it fascinating to watch these western riders, it takes 30 minutes just to release that saddle and get it off it seems, and other little details.

I’m 73 and in good health. I wanted a horse again before I was too old. We got a sweet natured 5 year old Palamino stallion, a Missouri Fox Trotter that was green. He’s been since gelded and now we’re ready for training by a professional like yourself and I’ll be there to learn too from one of the best.
It is a true gift that you are sharing this with all of us.
I can't remember watching anything that I enjoyed any more than this ride, thank you.
Thank you for another page in my lesson about these great animals.
I really enjoyed your video, just came across you. I love your attitude with training, they're many lessons in there and I don't mean with just the horses.

Welcome!
I am from Queensland Australia and in my sixes and still training packing and working horses.
Enjoy watching your videos very much.
Right on! And Queensland is so amazingly beautiful! You are very fortunate!
This was wonderful to watch. So much to learn. The colt, Chinaco is left compliant, respectful and still full of beans! Once again, Pat and Deb, thank you.
This was very special to see after all the preparation. Thank you.
Well done pat ,with first ride,should be very proud. Top man.
Love it when a plan comes together! Amazing first and second rides. I pay special attention to any videos you post with Chinaco.

First time finding your videos. Loved it and brought so many memories. Thank you and your wife.
I have a 3 year old Tennessee Walker. Learned so much from your videos. Thanks so much. Watching from Ontario, Canada
That brief rest let him recoup .... he's sooo good. Thank You for this wonderful experience. 😮😊
Thank you Pat and Deb for sharing your good work. It has been informative and enjoyable watching the Chinaco journey. I have learnt alot. Thanks for the lesson.
Really enjoyed this demonstration with you and Chinaco I was able to see the changes in his expressions as you worked through the progression!!
Found it really obvious the second saddling how much more understanding he demonstrated!! Great job. PAt videos are very helpful, and I look forward to hearing your stories!! Thanks for sharing!!
Nothing short of good honesty. A man with a heart ❤. So awesome to see human and animal come together. Thanks for the video.
Es envidiable ver a una persona con su edad montando potros.Gracias por dejarme disfrutarlo
"Give me one good horse with a good fittin' saddle that is easy on your back." He managed to find that lope cuz I was helpin' you guys. lol You're gonna have a real nice horse Pat. Thanks for sharing.
Amen to that quote Charley ! Are you a Tyson fan as well?
@@vicki1141 Affirmative.
@@charleysnell3631 have you heard Ian's song "Barney". Never knew it existed until it showed up on utube. It reduced me to a puddle of tears.

you should make shirts that say "You're fine, don't worry about it" and " Now that we've had our Disney moment..." I would totally buy them. ps, Wonderful video!
Deb and Pat Puckett. They are the top, best, truest teachers. Pat , to me, to my eye, you are the truest teacher of starting a colt. ever. Thank You
Hi Pat and Deb thanks for another good video ,really like the way you handle your horses and also get a history Lesson as well, I just wish i had been able to have my own discovery of the States at a lot younger age. When I saw Chinaco roll it reminded me of a saying my dad would say a horse in good condition will roll over but a horse thats not in good condition will only roll half way because he has not got the padding on his bones and its uncomfortable to go right over .well you all stay safe
You are a legend. I applaud your style and you words of wisdom...wish more youth of today would pay heed.
I've been watching every video and waiting for this one magical moment. Nice.
Chinaco doesn't "trot" he GLIDES... He's going to make a wonderful horse to team up with. I wished it were me... lol
Horsemanship is a beautiful thing to watch, thank you young man. From Horseheads,Ny.
Dear Deb & Pat thank you so much I watched your journey with Chinaco from beginning and it is so great to see how your team progresses. Many thanks for sharing and keeping the tradition & knowledge alive.
Heya Pat and Deb, I am currently starting a 3 year old filly.. I reviewed the content just for my own piece of mind. It has been a pleasent journey over the first 3 rides. No blow ups, just alot of try. What has been important to me is the breathing and the time to process thought. What a winner. I'm no real horseman by any means.. I'm one of the guys that can hang on.. but as i get older... i'm 52 this year, I don't need a bust up. A bit of time, alot of kindness, freeing up the shoulders, showing some forward movement and offering direction all working well but the time to stop and process the thought and breath....its doing ud both well. Thanks heaps mate for the lesson. I might see you one day when your down here in Australia.
Pat
I want to thank you for what you do with your videos. I thought I knew so much about training a horse, but I have been so wrong on so many levels. Again thank you
Sincerely
David M.P.
Your love you horse...care and respect is evident on both sides. Pure and clean...Thanks for showing how to be friends and a leader of horses.
Love the story telling, billings Montana here....I’ve been riding horses my whole life my brothers and I were hired out to be ranch hands to our neighbors during the summer....I’ve sacked out many broncs but I dont even know 1/4 of you knowledge of horses
Hello Mr. Pat, I was amazingly refreshed to see you're using a method of working with and training horses that was based fully on simple, basic common sense from the horse's point of view 😊👌👍
He looks like one of my horses I had, Dixie, since she was 6 Mo. we taught each other a lot! I’ve grown up in horses, I absolutely enjoyed watching you and your wife.
Man I loved watching this video. Great quality too, great sound and picture quality!
Mr. Pat thank you for showing us your journey on teaching a young horse, it has really taught me a lot about what I have been doing wrong and correcting my bad habits before I ruined my horses.
Another thing I've found over the years of backing babies, and is one must have the patience of Job and reward any try that they give you with a release immediately. Just my opinions. Thank you for your care. From a former Paramedic, and someone who rehabilitates horses from injury and get them back into riding, and delivering babies every Spring. The ones I end up backing are usually ones I've delivered, but I have had horses that were started incorrectly and had to be re taught the foundation. If you have a good foundation, you'll have a horse that will try its heart and soul to do what you ask if you break it down and make it black and white. Every horse is different. Keep your mind open to Learning. If you do, and you ask questions, trust me, us old timers love to share what we've learned and are still learning everyday from every horse we come in contact with. Close your mind to learning, and you end up blind. Stay Safe Everyone. From Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖 🇨🇦 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Love your training I am 71 and don't ride any more. Legs are bad. You make sense to me. I was taught by old timers how to ride a train. I called it reading the horse. Love your videos... Don't watch many horse training videos
I have been looking at your videos for a few years now, and this is really the best. Love the history lesson as well. Stay safe and thank you.
It is an honour and a pleasure to watch you starting Chinaco. Thank you for sharing this and all the other videos of Chinaco as well as the other horses. What you do, how you do it, and why you do it validates my approach to young horses, but more importantly, it gives me some new ideas and it makes me think of how much more effective I could be with even less. I am looking forward to seeing Chinaco's journey as it progresses. Thank you also for the countless useful videos on bits, roping etc. And last, but not least, all your pearls of wisdom, history lessons and humour. Greetings from Ballarat, Australia.
Very nice Pat...and inspiring, must have been a proud moment for you after all the time you’ve put in to him, so far. Can’t wait to see him straight up one day!
This is one of the best channels on YT! It’s fascinating to watch you work. I love how you refer to Deb as your bride😊
Way better than some of the junk you’ll find on mainstream television.
Not to mention the scenery is just incredible!
Yes! Yes! and Yes!.
You're a wise man, I love listening to you talk. I was watching that colt when you were telling the Old Spanish Trail story and he was sniffing and licking the tack in a curious manner. He was happy and fine.
Thank you for your videos! Nice to be able to take your time with him he’s coming along so nicely
Absolutely wonderful Sir!!!! This was a true clinic from a true Professional!!! I absolutely love that horse Chinaco!!!!
You sir are a pleasure to watch and learn from. True horseman. Thank you!
WoW !! what an amazing journey !! Thank you for sharing it with all of us !!
Thanks Pat, that was great! I was never much of a drinker but when starting colts I sometimes felt like Ray Hunt and Ty Murray rolled into one! That’s when I collected some scars. At 58 some have suggested I might be “a little long in the tooth” to be starting colts. Good to you’re still at it!
This made me tear up. I hope to be able to do this one day, and do it right like you have. This gives me hope. I've been watching your videos for awhile now, and you have helped me learn many lessons that I've put to use on my old 18 year old I bought who needed a tune up (hadn't been ridden for over a year). Thanks for being you, and thanks deb for filming this great stuff!
Beautiful to watch this journey and by the way, the two of you look great together. Thank you
I can hear the cricket on Deb’s horse. 🤗♥️loved your video sir💕♥️
Great example of taking the time it takes and keeping the relationship and the dignity intact. Thanks Pat and Deb.....your unknown friend in the north in Canada...Jer
That was beautiful to watch!
The best days of my life was horseback, this brought back a lot of good memories.
Thank you.
Thank you so much ,
I learn a lot about myself as well as about 🐴 horses , happy trails !
Thanks for sharing looks like he wants to be good wish you all the best with chinaco
You crack me up Pat! That strange noise. Second time watching this video. I love Ray Hunt! I have several of his videos.
Great success! Can’t wait to see Chinacos further development!
Nice way to spend an hour Pat. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations! An excellent first ride!! I love them like that!!
What a nice colt. Exciting to follow you guys and to now watch that first ride. Thanks
Goodness me, I'm so enjoying watching and listening to this. So pleased to have found you 😊 A big thank you for sharing from Suffolk, UK 🙋🏼
what a wonderful work I understand a quoter of it but I can appreciate the skill if I see it. Thank you is a pleasure to watch and learn
Thank you for showing the next step in making a horse. Looking forward to the outside ride
I think he did fantastic ..... thank you for your great teaching. I'm so happy for him. 😂
Brilliant display of hose-manship in any language! Lovely colt! ~ C ~
I love the way u break.but also wanted to say a huge thank you for helping educate people of the history you spoke of indians and mustangs.thank u .. cherokee pride .
awesome! you did good! I also appreciate the history of Santa Fe. Thank you!...oh and Chinaco remembered that it there maybe kids watching for you...lol!
I really like how long and awesome your videos is and you thought some history
Very impressive. The time and training is paying off.
Now that's how you lead horses...with a flat bed CHEVY! Hope you both are doing well Pat. God Bless- Johnny
So wonderful to spend a full hour with you! Really enjoyed that. The history lessons and compassion are a powerful draw. The Native Americans in my area continued to be harmed by the propaganda and policies of the wicked witch of Lansing. It's disgusting.
It's my first time watching your videos and all I can say is thanks for the lesson in horsemanship it truly was a master class and of course I'm a new subscriber!
I love the music you play at the first of the video , Nice guitar
😎👍🏽👏🏽 OUTSTANDING explanation and experience. I see much of myself in your technique but I learned some as well. One can never over lear for, with all the similarities each horse as many quirks as well. Thank you.
It's so neat to follow your progression with Chinaco. Good job, Pat & Deb. 💕
