I appreciate Pat’s information especially about the chin strap. I haven’t been using one but now I will be using it as Pat described. Thank you

Thanks Mr. Pucket. Hope i get a chance to tell you face to face some day how much youve helped me open my mind and soften my hands up. With that said, thank you from the bottom of my heart . Dan Palmer McCall, Idaho

This will help me be true to my 2 yr old horse TODAY

[@mandean1211]

Pat, you and Deb always make my day when I get home to find a new video waiting. The way you explain things and teach history are excellent. Thank you for taking the time to share!

Hi there Pat, I have been watching your videos for awhile now, this one in particular really helped me. I went out to work with my mare following this lesson, and by the time I was done she was already responding better . So while it is still so hot in Phoenix I am going to work her in hand using your guidance in this video. Thank you for the time you spend helping others learn.

Hello; I really like your videos, I learned so much and I may watch the same video a few times and I allways learn something new. Thank you so much; I’m a new rider at 64 taking my time a little late something I always wanted to do . Thank You.

[@reflux51]

thanks for all the videos. I was born and grew up on a ranch, riding probably to my detriment really great trained horses. come to find out there is an entire world of style of horsemanship I am only now learning about.

[@danfields3341]

The curb or hobble above the reins can act as a pre signal when you pull on the reins...

[@michaelc2509]

Always picking up something.
Thanks Pat. I have a 6 yr old gelding quarter horse. So far so good.

[@tinoyb9294]

Pat, you look like you've been doing some serious work before this video. Like I look after mucking stalls all day.

[@kengamble8595]

Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

[@lucavaler]

[@lorituttle4473]

Love this video. Love the history, too! What's the deal with the horse hair? Watched it a couple of times - what am I missing? Thanks!

[@garymclaren7185]

Pat the curb strap above. l have always done it that way. l have argued that forever but I never changed and won't. There might be just two of us old farts doing it rite.

[@positivejo3133]

This is great, but my question is I’m not near as tall as you (5.2) & my Percheron is 17.1...what do I do bc I can’t reach the reins on top of him like you do. Is pulling to side I can reach still okay?
PS-love the history too, ‘getting them light’ TY

[@rrrrrr-ry3cn]

He is beutiful

[@laurastokes5235]

Can you comment on separation anxiety in horses?

[@garyj2101]

Pat what kind of hat is that you're wearing and where do you get it??
Can't never find a flat brim hat.

[@chexmygold]

You would also use romals with a half breed, right? (ps. my King rope with breakaway hondo came this morning.)

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Yes, for our own personal horses. Many people like to use split reins and that’s fine too. The spade bit is the only one that requires romal reins.

[@epona9166]

I put the bit hobble above the reins too, for the same reason, .and people are always telling me it's wrong. I don't care.

[@dennisalessi3688]

Hi Pat, when you saddled the Thoroughbred you turned and picked up the cinch with your rt hand Just an obervation. You said never to do that. Love all the videos.

[@serenityhorsemanship3365]

Where can I find a dealer for the sliester bit?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

There are none. The company went out of business several years ago. The only source is eBay and certain Facebook groups. Or lucking out and finding one at a garage sale! You can buy a Jeremiah Watt bit from Bitterroot Saddle Co. The link is on our website on the Links page.

[@serenityhorsemanship3365]

@@PatnDebPuckett Thank You.

[@dankrauz1036]

Cant do it without a bit? And so many comments say he's great? Watch Rick Gore.

[@Alexandradammit]

Watch some of his other videos.. he’s rode in a halter in multiple other videos

[@elcincopatasramirez5497]

How old is the horse?

[@PatnDebPuckett]

Four.

[@mariafriend644]

You don’t need a bit to teach him that!! Wish they would put one in your mouth!!!!
