I'm not a cowboy. I admire the culture without a doubt, and hope to own a horse of my own one day, but I really like watching these videos because it's nice to see a guy so passionate about a craft that he's clearly mastered. There's nothin you dont seem to know about in your own world. Give us more wisdom!
I know of a green rider who for whatever reason rode his horse, with tie down, into a pond. Horse got into a muddy spot in the pond, couldn't get it's head up and drown. Rodeo maybe other than than NO tie downs.
I've been playing baseball for pretty much my whole life. And I'm not quite sure how much further it'll go. I'm not quite sure if I want it to. There isn't much I'm good at. But there's also a lot of things I haven't tried. But for the last two years something that's been calling my name is the life of a buckaroo.
I also wear a vest every day in the fall, winter and spring. Summers, not so much. 👍
Just found your channel, I’m loving the videos so far. I love wearing vests, I have Wyoming traders and have loved those for the ND winter. I always felt dumb and like a poser bearing vests, wild rags and hats since I’m a horse person but don’t work a ranch/farm, but about 8 years ago I decided I didn’t care anymore what others thought and if I feel comfortable and good in them then I should wear what I want. Also that no one cares what your wearing.
When will you, if ever, be in North Carolina again? I'm 68, just about ready to retire, and I've loved horses all my life. I was in rodeo at age 12 and 13 but raised in the city of Dallas TX. All my relatives on my mother's side were from a small town of Canton, just 65 miles east of Dallas. I've been around horses, but never taken care of them nor saddled them. I live in Charlotte NC now. I'm retiring to a small town NE of Charlotte about 1 hour. I probably couldn't take care of a horse, but I would love to come out for a month or two to learn from you how to care for horses. I regret not staying with it. Love what you do. Thanks, Frank
I don’t know if I’ll ever be in NC again. Hopefully, if not, I’ll have a place soon where you could come visit. I’d like that
Good questions and great answers. Thanks for your videos, they’re much appreciated and is all of the work that goes in to making them.
Truly love your logic in your videos, this world needs more of it. You inspire me to be a better and healthier person. Keep on doing what your doing!
Thanks Duane, and greetings from humid South Carolina. Your comments on mold prevention and treatment are (as always) spot on. I keep my saddle in the house as well.
Tie downs and draw reins are an advertisement that says "I am afraid of this horse". I have no use for them or green posts or barbed wire. To break in a saddle the first thing to do is soak the stirup leather and fender in water and twist it and let it dry so your foot will go into the stirip without having to bang the horse to get your foo in. A real custom saddle will already have the stirup leather twisted and laced facing back. Saddle soap and pure neatsfoot oil will keep it looking good and supple
Hello from Texas! Just stopped by to check out the new video and say that I am really enjoying all of your videos. Please keep them up as you find time. Blessings to You and your family.
Thank you for your time and wisdom… much love from. New Zealand 🇳🇿
Great video brother- the world needs so many more real men like you. You’re helping a lot of people with just your wisdom and knowledge
Hey Duane, just found your channel and have caught up on all of your videos. Just let me say that you are the man. I am in my early 70's now and I was born and raised in Great Falls, Montana and lived there until I went in the military in 1968. I love your viewpoints and core beliefs and it is really refreshing to find someone who still has and practices the "old school" cowboy way. I started working cattle ranches when I was 13 yrs. during summer vacations and was brought up in the cowboy way of living and conducting yourself. Keep up the great work Pard, and we will be watching.
Enjoying your videos, keep it up. I've picked up a few things I'm gonna try. Thanks!
man oh man does this world need this channel. thank you sir for this effort. Mike g
So glad to hear this can’t tell you how great that is
Greetings from Atlantic Canada. Really enjoy listening to your sage advice and wisdom. Keep reaching for your goals. In my youth when I would get down or discouraged my Grandfather would always tell me "Boy Quitter's never win and Winner's never quit". Don't give up on the dream, the "Dry Creek Wrangler School" will become a physical reality. Your common-sense approach to life will always attract a loyal following.
Love you videos
After cleaning saddle leather appropriately, as you said or with saddle soap, if needed, I use a couple of drops of clove oil, and a few drops of citronella oil in 1/4 cup neatsfoot oil mixed well, and applied evenly and sparingly. The clove oil will kill the mould and the citronella will repel insects from eating the leather.
Hope this helps. Stay safe.
Sir, I could hang out with you for hours and not get distracted. Awesome talk.
Great to hear your plans to get something actually goin'. Actually never doubted it. It's a natural progression whether you fight it or not, bud!
Glad to see this channel taking off
Mr. Dewayne, you're one of my heroes in this crazy world we live in! I'm a 30 year old man implementing your valuable life lessons into my life! People sure have noticed a change in me, all thanks to you and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I sure do wish to meet you one day Sir! "Be logical, be reasonable, be safe, and have fun!" & Tell momma i said hi, thank you for being the best director and camera gal out there! ☺️
Interesting times for sure, makes one really wonder if this is truly becoming the end of it here on earth with the coming of our Lord and Saviour. Dewayne is an awesome man with tons of knowledge. Keep the Faith Brother!
Amen across the board
Dang right! Amen brother!✝️🇺🇲🤠
Respectfully, mold doesn't need living tissue to grow. I Googled: What are the conditions for mold growth? "Mold will grow in places with a lot of moisture, such as around leaks in roofs, windows, or pipes, or where there has been flooding. Mold grows well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. Mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabric, and upholstery." I speak as a Biology major with a four year degree and former teacher of the subject. Otherwise when it comes to horses you are spot on. I really enjoy your experiences and wisdom about this beautiful animal. without whom we would all still be living in caves.
I ride for a living and had trouble with mould as normally our area is quite wet. I started using Leather Better It’s a beeswax base product with some natural anti fungus oils. I put that on 1-2 times a year and my mould issue is virtually gone
Dear Dewane , thank you so much for introducing this lifestyle which seems to be a whole culture ,personally i am an israeli guy , never rode a horse in my life , my late father had spent his childhood in a farm in Poland , he was quite familiar with it and was wise enough to encourage us the children, to love the beauty of nature and all living things....anyway i am a city dweller so just enjoy the outlook of your views on those posts which are really outstanding and magnificent , wish you and yours all the best 🥰
I too have 3 Filson wool vests! I’m a Filson snob I guess, the vests, 2 tin cloth vests, 2 cruisers, one for riding/packing/ hunting, one for going to town, a wool jacket length cruiser, a shelter cloth duster, tin cloth jacket, tin cloth cap. Unfortunately, they’ve gone through many ownership changes and have lost track of their origins.
Love the channel, keep up the good work!
Great channel, keep up the great work!👍🐎
So fun to sit back and relax and just listen to your voice . You are a man whom God has blessed with many gifts. 😇. My question is what do you recommend to feed a 4 month old Colt? Bless you and Mamma ♥️ p.s. Facebook is a problem ! Keep sharing . Laura 🇺🇸🐴💜
Re: tie downs. I'm a minimalist, the less gear on your horse the better.
Amen to your comments on Facebook. Everything you said.
I have a page that I stopped using over 7 years ago.
Wonderful. Really enjoyed it and please keep it up. God Bless
Ima railroader out in the Midwest. Wrangler jeans, wool vests, handmade boots from the northwest. Yer doing well. Keep at it.
I love your channel. Keep up the good work.
hey man, I love your videos ! All they from Brasil , big fans over here. we wish you all the best!
I've mentioned before, so proud that you have dropped FBook. It's an evil thing as is so much of social media. Stay true to the Faith and never lose focus of what the real goal is. God bless your endeavors! Great video.
Do you really inhale those bad boys???
Love this vdo. I no very little about your life style. Iam a hunter and trapper and love learning new things. Ty
Get to us when you get to us Sir! Our questions will keep. Thanks again for the time and effort put into these videos. Best wishes on getting the physical school set up and running. I think, based on your subscriber numbers, you might have a few students waiting to show up for in person training! ;)
Thanks again on your saddle breaking in tips.
I tried the baby powder. Works good!
Happiness is a brand new saddle. I bought it for my horse mostly. He's pretty wide.
9 and a half inches .
He likes it as much as I do.
It actually looks almost identical to yours.
Glad you answered mold question. Live in Florida may favorite bridle always getting moldy
Discovered you last night. What a treat! Trying to paraphrase what I appreciate about who and what you are. Mmm. . . Authenticity; integrity. Something about your videos drew me in, left me wanti g more. It started with how to make a good cup of coffee. Ironically, my gentleman partner has the same perculater coffee pot he keeps in his camper and we never get it quite right. And about your knowledge you share about horses. It comes from experience and wisdom. It really is all about relationships. Horses are the mirror looking back at ourselves. . . . What have I put into the relationship that is good for the horse? The two videos that really spoke to me so far that I have seen is the one with you sitting on a gray filly that would jerk her head back after you brought it around. She has had a history of bucking people off. You got into relationships with your wife. . And the other was the difference between a horse and a mule. As it stands now, I have my doubts I would get across the 1st creek with a mule. Horses have been a life journey for. My "missing link" I'm in my 60's now. It's time I take the driver's seat instead of just be a passenger. I have what it takes. Confidence in my faith in my leader, Jesus Christ, Immanuel. God with us.
You pretty much answered my question to you in your answer to the 1st question. I have been trying to figure out where you live. I have been listening hard to see if you give yourself away. Best I can come up with is two locations: Bandera Texas and somewhere near Cody, Wyoming. Like the mountain range behind you there looks like it could be the Absorka mountains going into Yellowstone. Altough I have chosen the"safer" path in life to stay close to my roots in west Tenneessee, my true heart and soul is the greater Yellowstone area. I have worked in Yellowstone National Park for a summer season 3 times in my life, 20 and 10 years apart. My 1st summer was 1987. I respect your grit and tenasity to do what you did your 1st year in 1992. I also respect your family back in Kentucky, especially your in laws, who must've believed in you. That helps. In my case, being a single woman who was raised by an over protective father, who strogly influenced me that the world fell off the map west of the Mississippi River. . . . Looking forward to more of your videos. You're messages ring true to my core.
Cut rake and bale hay. god I love it. Nothing better on earth.
Volume is up! Thank you!!!
Great channel, watching from Colombia 🇨🇴
I really like what you say. I wish you good luck with your wrangler school this spring. I am sorry that I and my horse not can visit. Its a long way from Scandinavia.
Thank you, i had bought a little race horse, who had also been broken as a battle cutting horse- he never requiere a tie down.
Love the cigar and coffee talks
100% agree with your take on tie downs.....
Thanks uncle love you
you remind me of Shaun Johnston [Jack Bartlett ] in series Heartland!!! Enjoying your videos to the core, keep it rolling!
Really like this q&a stuff hope you do get a Wrangler school there Dwayne even though I'm 74 I'm sure I could still learn some stuff might hurt though physically or my feelings LOL 🐝
Appreciate you Sir
Wow, and just a year later..... 😊 Every dream begins with a thought.
I wish I lived where you lived, it looks so beautiful. I live in countryside ireland, and it's beautiful but just not the same as the beautiful sun and grass.
Thanks.
I must come to your school! Asap!
Love your videos
Love the channel. New subscriber!
keep up the good work
gDAY DEWAYNE enjoyed the video, when you have a fixed wrangler school - love to come spend some time with y'all
Baby power works good on hardwood floors too
Great videos man if you made a school I’d come from Georgia to be there
Tonight, an AF Hemingway Best Seller. Good show

Niiice! I just fired up a Brick House Maduro Mighty Mighty
I just can't praise you enough for your facebook evaluation, Dwayne.
Right on the numbers!
People do sell their souls to it.
No honest person should support this festering ulcer of a "company" in any way.
Ever.
Right there with you about Facebook.
I really enjoy your videos i have found great content in all I have watched. you talked about the vest what about the shirts . Thanks in advance
Re the hold down you were asked about, that devise is properly known as a MARTINGALE.
I’ve never done Facebook. I don’t Tweet or any of the other media on-line. And I’ve practiced social distancing for the last 7 years because I’m more comfortable isolated.
Blessings on your endeavors to get the DCWS a place! How cool! :)
i would love to be apart of your school.. i have been a preacher for the past 9 years and right now i own a church and thats where i live.. but its people like you all that wish to cling to.. people of like manor faith and respectability.. i am a hard working man and i dont know shit about horses but i do love elk hunting and i hate big cities.. but when you have a opening i believe i am willing..
You should link to Filson's so folks can order and you get a cut for sharing!!
I agree on the tie down theory too.
In the training. My Dad didn't like 'em either.
So glad I found your channel couple weeks ago.You have so much knowledge and wisdom.I have never rode a horse or been around cattle but feel like its my calling.How does one get involved in ranch life.I hear ppl say if you weren’t raised on a ranch then ranch life is not for you.I think there wrong any suggestions on how i can get started
Watch his video on exactly this topic: “How I got Started in the Wrangler/Packer Life”.
Amen on the Facebook garbage. That's social media in general. I stay away from it. This is all I have and sure it's for entertainment purposes but it's for learning stuff from people like you as well. Car fixes and things of that nature.
Same here, I quit facebook long time ago back in high school never look back. The only i use now is TH-cam cause it's useful but the censorship is getting on my nerves!
@@justliketree27 I agree.
Good on ya about Facebook.
Thumps up fot 'I abhor .. facebook'!!! I too!
I just found your channel today. I own a small horse rescue in Arizona. Unfortunately the area we are is growing and it's getting more crowded around here. I was watching your coffee making video and Q & A Videos. Can you tell me where those filming locations? We are looking to relocate.
Nice video
You're right
Them vests are nice
And extremely warm
Biggest blessing
Seamstress in-house
I'm really enjoying these videos and Boots O'Neal's videos where he speaks, on different pod casts, about his life.
Bootz also confess' Christ as Savior- very nice.
i just want to say your a man of honor saying face book is evil... thank you and i fully respect you... God bless you and your family..
Based Dawyane!
👍👍👏
Lekker man lekker
so you are still a video school ...1:30
now that i saw this video, i looked very stupid trying to find your class on the internet for where, when, & how much.
keep it up, we will be comfortable like so on and for as long as needed.
Dwayne can you make a video on Thoroughbred horses. Bought a 4 year old off the track and just began his training. I’m a beginner in the horse world but would love to get your feedback
You are better off not being on Facebook you old ways that you are doing now are awesome 👍
What boots do you wear on a daily? (Brand,model and style)
In most of the videos I've seen he's got on lace up hiking boots.
They might want to get some cornstarch that also helps not the saddle but it will make them walk easier if you know what I mean
Humid and damp areas, spray your saddle with colloidal sliver.....done
In your next Q&A could you maybe recommend some good using saddles. Can’t afford the customs and trial and error is getting expensive.
That’s a good idea, sir. I’ll put it on the list.
Duane, love these questions sessions! What type of groundwork do you suggest for a 15yr QH mare that hasn't been ridden in a year. She is slightly swaybacked and high withers and a bit spooky
That’s a tough question to answer, not knowing the mare. For a truly broke horse, a year off really shouldn’t matter much. If she’s a little jumpy, like you say, she might just need a little flag work all over to help de-sensitize her. A bit of circles around you on a lead rope, changing directions several times at a calm walk. Just moving her feet in a calm, controlled manner, NOT the traditional lunging most folks do. Unless there is an actual problem that needs addressed, that’s what I do.
Ciao from Italy
Filson gear is top notch, worth every penny
If you started a school please let us know I would show up in heartbeat
What cigar do you like?
Thank you. My question, I have only rode a horse once and I almost got killed. It tried dumping me off in the middle of a river and I stayed on. I had one leg over the back of the horse and my one hand on the horn. It took off full speed, was trying to rub me off on trees and fences. Took a couple miles until the "guide" caught up and stopped the horse.
Can you tell us about all the commands and using the reins/legs to ride a horse. How to back up, stop them erc. Do different styles of riding train these commands differently?
I am.thinking of going again next year and trying again.
Thanks for your videos.
Hi ron> PLEASE take some time and ride more than once a year,,,you need experience,,saddletime,more familiarization,even if it just riding laps in a pasture on a deadhead,that will help you.
Mold will grow on dead things. I know because I installed furnaces for years. Many times I had to kill the mold on sheetrock before I could install a furnace.

Hello Dwayne do you know or any zorse that have made a working mount thanks Dean
