I've never roped but I know it is a good idea to do this. Love your sense of humour Pat.
My Dad and Grampa always said if you could lead a horse by every foot you have no worries. I have been doing just that, but your explanation and video shows that it is more than just a rope on the foot kind of deal. Thanks, I will be going back over this with my crew and make sure I've got the proper eye and response. Your lessons are priceless, and much appreciated.
Pats best dude on the planet
Love these videos i used to rope all the time when i was younger and doctoring goats and cows. Our parents weren't horse people though so i didnt have any experiences with horses. Now 20s and havent touched a rope in about 8 years. So thank you Pat I've been religiously watching your videos for the last month. I am supposed to get a horse today and im ready to try all this out.
I love how he patiently and thoroughly explains everything. Thank you!!! ❤️
You are the master, if only all horse owner took time and look at all of your videos many horses would get at better life. But sad, people with English saddles do never look at a video were something reminds of a western horse :(
Certainly quite a narrow view!
Saddle style does not make or unmake a horseman!
I am an English rider and a student of the horse.
I am always learning and always doing better by my horses.
@@donnakinsey9703 :) narrow view, in many English riding facility we horsemanship trainers was not allowed to have clinics.
I’d go as far as saying these days, not many “trainers” period that take time to do what’s best for the horse, neither English or western. Used to be when you sent a colt to a trainer for 30 days to be green broke to ride, when you got him back home, the horse stood still, was good about feet, stood tied, gave to the bit, whoa, turn and go at 3 gaits and had a good start on trail riding and had the crow hops out of the way. If the horse was cagey, the trainer told you. You paid for 30 days and that’s what you got.
Nowadays, we’ve got “specialists colt starters” but your horse better already be good about his feet, standing tied, etc. because they sure won’t work on that stuff. What they will do is chase your colt around a perfect 60 foot round pen until he’s tired, then the saddle training starts. All riding will be done in that round pen or if your colt is really quiet, he might graduate to the fenced arena.
I absolutely agree that if I want my horse trained to be a reiner, roper, jumper, whatever, the horse should’ve already had a year or more under saddle before he goes to the discipline specific person, It’s definitely not their job to train my horse to pick his foot up, but it’s sad that in many cases the colt starter doesn’t do it either and that’s the person that could’ve given the horse a chance at a good life in spite of his clueless owner.
I ride both english and western. In my eyes good horsemanship is good horsemanship, doesn't matter what outfit you have on. Just because some people (from both disciplines) seem to have forgotten that, doesn't mean we all have. I know of some cowboys who have learned a good bit from classical dressage masters. There isn't a whole lot of difference between the vaquero way and true classical dressage.
I love this video and hear what you are saying. Unfortunately, as a professional show horse trainer, I'm not often afforded the time to do it the way I want. But now I'm done apologizing and explaining my situation. I'm going to move on. Good luck to you and yours. Take care.
My boyfriend “Millard Atene “ said, “respect vaquero ❤️”
Appreciate this. I knew the basics of doing this but the detail and Pat’s commentary on his process was very valuable. Favorite horse channel!
It is so so true what you said.. I have a BLM mustang that is forever jumping fences.. also she isn’t very good at it.. lol but if I hadn’t worked with a rope and her feet it would be disastrous.. she gets tangled and just stands there. 😊 thank god for the man who taught me this lesson
Howdy,
I learned this same teaching from my grandfather.
Thank you
Much abliged
I have never thrown a loop in my life and I thank you for sharing your excellent explanation and teaching....oh and by the way.... I share these videos with my best beloved husband because he is an excellent friend and teacher also (he needs to learn about horses) even though he has been around me for 32 years hahahahaha he is still learning
Thank you for the ID of the TIME to THINK . . . I learn better to give them some time to process
My girlfriend and I just found your videos and we fell in love with you two! You remind me so much of the guys who taught me about horsemanship and roping. I have so much more to learn and you are really helping to fill that gap since I’ve not been able to do that now for awhile with those guys. . I just watched a roping video you two made. Your history lessons and humor are the best! I’m curious if you’re related to Bud up in Mariposa. Not sure if he has one T in his last name or 2. You could definitely be brothers if not haha. He made my spurs and used to make bits as well. Unfortunately I lost contact with him during a busy fire season and never found out where he went or if he’s still around. I could listen to him all day he was a lot like you Pat. I used to live in Sonora and I’m close to Coarsegold. Curious who you know in these parts. It’s a pleasure to watch and learn from a real cowboy who knows his stuff. Wish there were more teachers and trainers like you. I’m going to be watching more of your videos and look forward to new ones! Thank you both for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I see you’re well received by even other country’s people!! I wish American ‘horse people’ understood that there’s horses trained by cowboys and there’s horses who are trained by guys wearing cowboy hats. There’s a HUGE difference and they are clueless; clearly. Thank you Pat for demonstrating a cowboys way of training. Ps ..Great job editing Deb!
Bud is Pat’s father. He is in a nursing home in Mariposa.
My gosh I was thinking that as the resemblance and the way he speaks are so similar. I’m sorry to hear of Buds condition. . I’ve been watching your videos a lot and I’m taking so much from them. They are well done and so informative. Pat and Bud are a dying breed of cowboy that is for sure. I cherish the spurs Bud made for me. They will last my life time and many more. Thank you for the information. Maybe someday our paths will cross. Sure be cool to meet Pat. Take care.
U love the way Pat explains everything & Deb, you are a legend! Thank you for recording all these videos & creating this archive of infinite knowledge about horsemanship but also, just general “life” lessons.
Thank You both,
From Santa Cruz, CA
Thank you Pat for all the knowledge, history and information. I received your hondo and books couldn’t be happier. From the Leon family to yours thank you and god bless.
excellent information. I will try to work with a 35 ft rope and see how it goes. As for the dirty shirt - well my dad and I could put on anything and in minutes we looked like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown. No fashion statements from our farm. Life is what it is out here.
Thanks so much for the videos. Not a rope handler here but went out as suggested and got one and went out to my project horse. Well I found out a lot. She's fine with her neck, back, under tail and all but when I went to the feet; well that was educational. I'd had no problems lifting feet or sensitivity with a lead rope but this got an entirely different response. Working with horses and applying what Pat has to offer has been a great benefit to me and the horses.
As an aside; gotta love the dialog. "Just toss the rope.- That's the shot" Lol. A little work to do on that here. Ya gotta start somewhere.
Yeah😣same here, we will see how it goes. Maybe try a few on the old saw horse first
I learn so much from you, thank you for all you share with us
Thank you Pat and Deb! My question is this. What would be the process leading into getting the horse hobble trained. I'd like to do that with all of our horses but it may not go well with some. I can see where roping the feet would be a good start though.
Your a star hand, thanks for the ground roping shot my hard to catch mule sure doesn't like yeah now
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Love these videos! Pat is great.
Helps. Helps a lot. Muchas!
Thank you mate
EXCELENTE!!!
Thanks this is GREAT Stuff.
Thanks it helps a bunch
Pat how much u get out of ur reata 40 foot u and debb do a great job thank u all for teaching us
We don’t have any 40 footers right now. We get $500 for a 60 footer.
Ok thank u boath very much
This has been very helpful. I’m practicing shots on the roping dummy but for roping the real Horse I really liked the shot where you basically placed an open loop on the ground and tossed it. I couldn’t quite understand what you called that shot. Can you spell it for me. Thanks
Piedra which is rock in Spanish.
Thank you for this demonstration..what was the dimensions of the rope again...?
No knot on the end... got that..and then the diameter..? And length.? Man and women size?
5/16 nylon soft lay. 60 footer. No shorter than 40 footer.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I want to buy a cricket for a smaller mustang who has had a bit with no pressure, I've riden for weeks in a halter.
It sure is hard to find one in 4 or 4 1/2" size that is any good, if you can get Pat's he can size it right for you. I ended up having to pad out a bigger bit with bit rings, and also missed out on that great cricket sound his have. (Which now I won't get to hear for quite awhile.)
Thanks!
Hey Pat, watched the 'How to Rope Your Horses's Feet when you don't Know how to Rope' and found it very informative. My two geldings have been roped, but for some reason they feel I want them to lay down when roping the front feet. Something my trainer must have taught them.. also, do you teach horses to hobble before roping the feet or after? Thanks, Cathy in Michigan :-)
After. We never hobble a horse that has not been roped thoroughly.
@@PatnDebPuckett K, thank you :-)
Pat where do you get your hats?
Interesting the amount of attention you are getting from Deb's Mule in the adjoining pen. Watching intently at 7:20 .... moving its ears and head to hear and see you moving... Are they capable of connecting what they see that way..? Do they understand cause and effect or just reward and punishment? Is hat humanizing them too much?
Do you use an xxs or xxxs soft nylon rope?
XS
Static toss like that. Pat's got iron shoulders. Don't make em like this guy anymore
dink out of the blm corrals? clueless! Been doing that for decades...taming and training 'dinks' out of the BLM corrals. Dang good horses.
