  • Here is our much anticipated video on pulling a reata. We finally got some warm weather and found a patch of grass so we were able to do it. Pat also demonstrates the difference between a pulled reata and one that has not been pulled and how to tell when you've pulled your reata enough. Thank you very much for watching!

    I liked the video very much. It's very enlightening as a roper I have never used a riata before and I would venture into using this type of rope more. I do use my horse for stretching my nylon ropes. Like your ingenuity. Thank you.

    Thank you for the video Pat. I just finished pulling my reata today. I don't have any kidney fat, so I ordered some rawhide cream. I'm not sure if it's as good as kidney fat, but it smells about the same. My 3 year old colt got some calf pulling lessons today as well. Whether he knows it or not.
    A big thank you from Kentucky.

    When you make the holes in the oakwood, do you smooth out the edges before you start pulling? Or does the gaps between the holes come as a result of pulling a lot of reatas?

    • @PatnDebPuckett

      We do not smooth out the holes. The reata smooths them out.

    @blainestockwell6957 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not a great roper, but when we used to break in a nylon rope we stretched it between posts. I started using weighted polys a few years ago never broke them in other than just using them. I have a waxed cotton one now, wow, stiff and fast, have stretched(but maybe not enough) hasn't seemed to break in. What do you recommend for polys, cottons, or nylons? Would love to have a reata one day, but want to be a better roper first. Thanks, Bilby, Alberta. PS, would like to know if you ever plan on doing a clinic in Alberta.

    • @PatnDebPuckett
      @PatnDebPuckett  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pat uses a 5/16 nylon soft lay 60 footer. We don’t have mud or snow. If we lived in Alberta, he would probably use a poly. We don’t have any plans to travel to Canada in the near future. There have been a few people up there who have shown interest so I wouldn’t rule it out when the world goes back to normal.

    Ok, i ain't no cowboy but have started saddle colts and logged a team many years. Me and ropes ain't never come to an understanding. I have a reata a friend sent me from Texas. After watching this I'm gonna stretch it. It has the pineapple knot on the end so I reckon I'll have to drill the holes big enough for that? Then learn how to swing it and slide it. Any insights I'd love to hear. Thanks for the video!

    • @PatnDebPuckett
      @PatnDebPuckett  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No, no, and no.The “pineapple knot” is for the hondo. It is not pulled through the holes. The holes are only slightly larger than the diameter of the reata. You pull the hondo end of the rope all the way to the tail and then pull the tail end all the way to the hondo being careful to stop as soon as the hondo reaches the piece of wood. Repeat, repeat, repeat until the reata is right.

    • @PatnDebPuckett
      @PatnDebPuckett  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Also, if you’ve had your reata hanging on a wall or otherwise not stored properly, it will likely be rotted at the core so you might break it by pulling it. If you don’t intend to use it, just string it out between two posts out of reach of any dogs and rub a piece of beef liver over the whole length. Let it dry. Coil it up. And hang it back up.
