So here is the real deal. A ranch cowboy who happens to be an excellent horseman. That's a rare combination. I've been training show horses since 1975... and I've trained national champions in the performance category... reining, cutting and working cow horse. If I was to recommend any horseman to study, it would be this man.
Thank you Larry, I used to breed, and train horses, it was the joy of my day after working crazy hogs all day, that was 25 years ago. I lost the farm financially. Now I was donated a couple rescue horses that were starved and neglected. I thought I knew it all, but watching you guys as a refresher, I learned that I got a lot to learn. Thanks
"You didn't get robbed...you're just a pitiful rider" LOL! Pure gold right there. You remind me a ton of my grandpa, he cowboy-ed in the western Dakotas along the Montana border in the 1940s, and 50s.
AndyTheCornbread i got cracked up at that too!
t love that you are so concerned with safety & humane treatment of the horse.
Its for my bride to carry her binoculars.
Sir, you are a gentleman.
I love that.. “you didn’t get robbed, you’re just a pitiful rider.” 🤣🤣🙌
Great video. When I did it this for the first time I didn't have an actual ropers rope...I was just learning my ground work ok. But I had to get some trees I cut down in my buddies place (where I kept my horse). SO I got him used to the chain saw and we packed it down the field. I used a 1/2" marine grade rope. I tied a tarp to it and then just put it around the saddle horn and while I was on the ground I just walked him backwards so he could see the tarp (he was tarp confident but we had never tried this). Then I just lead him forwards and did the same thing basically making sure the rope touched both side of his rump...if he blew up I could just let the tarp rope go. All good so I did a small piece of brush then a smaller tree and then finally a bigger one...then I got on and did it in the saddle right from the beginning.... He was great and we ended up hauling 4 cords of fire wood that weekend to my buddies place for winter.....PS this was in the winter too so it kept the wood from getting all dirty for the chain on the chain saw and there were NO BUGS...perfect.
He said from bungie cord all the way down to hay string and I really took that to heart because I’m all the way down there at hay string
Thank you for posting instructional videos and details on Cowboy tricks and tips. (Draggin logs, roping tips) Pat is a great teacher, hilarious and I cant stop watching and learning. Keep em coming! Thanks again!
Love your videos Pat. So instructional.
Love the horse talk but can we hust appreciate how pat talks about his wife? I love it
I'm starting out with horses and of course go to you tube to learn as much as I can out of the saddle. As interesting as your videos are, I just had to stop and take a moment to commend you on your Video content and style. You and your wife make exceptional videos. You offer these "opinions" up for us to learn from based on years of experience, giving us the benefit of your wins and losses. I especially appreciate that you do not try to sell us on a product. Just instruct and offer advise. Your teaching is interesting and to the point. I hit the subscribe button to show my appreciation. And now I will continue to enjoy the next video by "Deb Puckett".
Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
I love these videos, everything about them
I have a Percheron that I take trail riding and he’s good with vines and such around his feet but your rope around the leg under saddle was a great idea that I think we need to do with him. He doesn’t blow up, but he does get aggravated by it which could be damaging to the horse behind him someday. I don’t ride your discipline, but you give me ideas on how I can make my horse better for me. For that I thank you for making me a better horseman.
I HAVE NEVER WORKED A HORSE, BUT RIDDEN ON THE ODD OCCASION , THIS IS FASCINATING .
This video was fantastic for explaining to a beginner. I'm not a roper but I can use some of these tips for pulling a log in competition like cowboy challenge. Thanks!
Pat you are so patient with us and I thank you. And thanks for sharing your life with us.
Thanks Pat! I have a solid trail horse that I need to teach how to pull some downed trees to clear trails. Want to teach them safely before I get them out there pulling in water etc. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
good exercises, You break it down so well that I realized that I do those things and didn't know I did. lol
Growing up in central Alberta on my Dad's purebred outfit I never learned this at an early age. My Dad, not seeing this done wright, didn't want anyone roping his cattle. I knew there was a better way but there was no one around up here that could teach it. Now it seems there's a lot of ranch roping jackpots around the country. Its a new trend.
I get a lot of enjoyment out of your videos and I learn something too. Thank you for posting them.
thank you sir , are not only a teacher but a damn good student
These videos are GOLD!
so much wisdom....thanks for another fine lesson !
I just love you for your knowledge and how you convey it so well. Please keep the videos coming! ❤️
I have only ever been schooled by team ropers you guys are changing the way I rope with every video I really want to attend one of your clinics as soon as I can
Keep visiting our website for information on upcoming clinics...www.thedisciplinedride.com .
I had to chuckle. I was always told when the boss shook his rope out, you better get your loop built. My boss built a loop soon as he set his horse. Till he come back to the trailer/barn. That was a brilliant exercise. Thank you
Love your videos keep em coming. Chesterton/Valparaiso, Indiana
Great video!
Died of disappointment....hah! Love all your moves even though I don't have a cow to rope. I could so get into roping.. Is the bosalitto only used with spade, and western bit, as a get down halter, or has it other uses? And can you perhaps show us how to attach the rope to it, and neck, correctly? A bowline knot? I love, long faced, Lusitanos, so elegant, and usually biddable. I am working my Hispanoluso to the bosal. I made two hangers, from reins, thank you for the design, very nice and flat on head.
I was just about to comment that this horse really reminds me of chinaco and looks like its got a lot of lusitano in it, when you said this horse is lusitano lol. Beautiful!
This is Lola…Chinaco’s dam.
El que pueda estar cerca de usted tiene suerte!!! Es un maestro!!!
She looks to be a good size gal, maybe pushing 17 hands, strong too !
Yes sir you're right, good hands might pick on ya a little bit but if you need some help, they WILL be there ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Lola’s size is deceiving. She’s just shy of 16 hands.
@@PatnDebPuckett , Lola is Beauty-Full !! .... What a Glorious Breed ! .... She looks like a Battle Horse. .... Strong , Proud neck and head carriage.
@@PatnDebPuckett her laid back shoulder and high set neck base make her look taller.
Great video would love to see more on the get down rope your the real deal thanks for taking time to share
Another great video, thanks Mr. Pat
Nice job cowboy. You are right on the money with all of that. J.k.
Almost like he's done that before ! 😊 😉

Amazing!
Pat and Deb thank you so much for showing all your knowledge and added wisdom it helps you all weather you are brand new or have been a horse person forever I would really like to how to order one of the link bit hope u can help thanks
thank you sir
Very great idea from you. Do more videos again.
Hello John! Pat has been on the road but he is back now and we will be posting some new videos this week...
Thank you so much for answering with a video to my question on collection!!! love every single one of your videos. would you have time to make one on and rollbacks (and maybe spins)?
arthur beaudelot me too x
That...is a good lookin horse
Thank you Pat for the great videos. Curious on hobbling a horse at the splint bones versus the pastern. One better than the other? Also, would love to see some time directed at cowboy etiquette in the pasture, ie. getting off and opening the gate if your the new guy, not swapping places with the guy next to you on the drive, and the like. I realize in different parts of the world things aren't the same, but would like to hear what you have to say.
We will definitely walk through some cowboy etiquette in the future. Pat ties the hobbles around the canon bone simply because he doesn’t like bending further down. Sometimes he hobbles a broke horse above the knees. It’s just a matter of flexibility! Also rope hobbles are designed so you can do that. If he has a tough horse that will fight the hobbles or...Rainbow the mule!...he’ll hobble around the patterns. Thanks for the keen observation!
Very, very intrigued with this mare--gorgeous mover. Is she your only Spanish type horse?
We have her colt, Chinaco, and we’ve owned a number of Aztecas in the past.
I want that horse
You are such a gentleman< I love how you call your wife.
You’ve mentioned several breeds of horses throughout your videos. Can all this be applied to any breed? Such as a foxtrotter or a walker?
Any horse can benefit from this style of horsemanship. One of the nicest ranch horses that Pat turned over to me was a gaited Morgan...
Beautiful horse! What is her breed? Maybe you said it but I didn't catch it.
She’s a Lusitano.
Would it be possible for you to do a video with the bay mare, on one man doctoring in the controlled environment ? I'm sure you have a compliant 600 weight calf that needs doctoring...
When the mare is ready, we’ll get that done. On a side note, when Pat doctors by himself, i.e. one-man doctoring, I’m not around 😆😆😆
Is there a video for disengaging the hip and turning like he did in the video?
Pat just started teaching this to the bay mare... czcams.com/video/_mpUz5gYUG0z/video.html .
How many bones have you broken? You mentioned a hip replacement. Was that from years of riding or injuries or both?
It’s easier to list the bones that Pat hasn’t broken. The hip replacement was the result of an old injury.
@@PatnDebPuckett Oh no! Cowboys are so tough!!
I put them in a harness collar, hanes, and all replace any trace chains with cotton rope use a single tree start with a litte weight just turn em loose in the pen. After about 3 days it dont take much to get them dragging from the horn.the'll be desensitized to a rope .if you got a long pen put the water on one end and feed on the other the"ll train themselves wont be long the'll drag whatever's back there. While your doing other work that needs to be done.
wise words pilgrim.
Deb, I have a horse that throws his head and fights the bit constantly when any pressure is applied. I know pat has said that that all goes away with time, but it’s been quite a while now and no matter how soft and quiet my hands are he throws his head and does all but rear. Any suggestions?
If he fights the bit ride in a halter ,get a vet to check the teeth.
That’s absolutely correct. The first step is to have a vet look at his teeth and examine his tongue. After he gets a clean bill of health, you have to determine is the horse is afraid or disrespectful. And that will determine your course of action.
What brand of saddle pads/blankets do you use? Size? Thanks!!
We used to get Coolback pads but recently we’ve just been buying the cheaper orthopedic pads that you can find at most tack stores for under $50. We got our wool blankets at Brighton Feed in Brighton Colorado years ago. They last a long time. The Navajo woven blanket was a gift from a friend. Most blankets and pads are 32 x 32 or 34 x 34. If you have a little horse, get the smaller one.
Pat & Deb Puckett thanks so much. Appreciate the advice, video, and entertainment!
Just curious, is your horse a Lusitano? If so, is that your breed of choice? You answered the first question in the video.😄 guess I should have waited.
Lola is a Lusitano. We prefer the Iberian breeds because they are naturally on their hindquarters unlike the modern quarter horses that are now being bred downhill.
@@PatnDebPuckett yes I know what you mean about the quarter horse! They have been ruined over the years. I hate riding a horse that is "built down hill".
That good mare looks like she can walk the legs off of most ranch horses. Probably has a nice long trot too.
I did this today & yup, totally let the rope slack and get around my foot. Pitiful indeed.
I experienced some bad schooling when a more experienced person would set ya up for a wreck instead of lesson. Their pride wouldn't let them be upstaged by a new guy. Some people are just stupid. I do good on my own.
Don't you just love humans ... Im with you @ semtech30
Do you train your horses to be “Ground Broke “ such as dropping the reins to the ground and walking away. I had a conversation with a friend on the Mounted patrol of Indianapolis, she was head of the mounted patrol and when I asked how many of the horses were ground-broke. She said none . No one on the patrol knew how to train their horse to be ground-broke . Then Imsaid how in the world could they get off their horse and arrest someone without dragging their horse with them .
The term isn’t “ground broke.” It’s “ground tied.” It’s not something we teach because we teach our horses to hobble. With most of our horses, they get so gentle that you can drop the reins and walk away from them for a short period of time. They wouldn’t wait for you overnight though. That’s one of the uses of a mecate or get down rope. You can tuck it in your belt and you have your horse with you.
Two half hitches hold the devil in place!
You can make tortillas on that saddle horn
Dead calf still a months wages?
depends on the size of the calf.
No it depends what a cowboy is getting paid these days
Now Pat is an awesome roper, but you have to think there was some luck catching that log in the dirt, first try, with a turnover.
What kind of horse is he? Same head as Chinaco
SHE is a Lusitano and the dam of Chinaco.
Look at this horse "bridle up". That doesn't happen unless in the hands of a true horseman.
In through your nose out through your mouth cowboy.
If you rope a mountain Slide rope your horse should never know he can't pull a mountain
So this man talks about hiring on with a big cattle outfit. The guys good enough to call themselves real qualified cowboys are few and far between. If you happen to have the skill and knowledge, there are plenty of jobs to be had.
