Getting the Feet Right

- Pat recently began working with a young man who lives close to us to teach him how to start colts. In today's video, we check in on one of the colts, a roan mare, to watch Pat work her on the fence. The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that he can influence all four feet, along with having the horse yield the hindquarters and the forehand. This mare was range raised so she is very different than what many people are used to seeing. We'll check back in with her on a regular basis to keep track of her progress. So stay tuned!

If you want to show us the same process on another colt, that would also be great. Heck, I could watch this all day. It's a pleasure.
I feel like he could be my grandpa...teaching me how to start a colt. So enjoyable. I feel like I treasure my time with him.
That is a very fine looking roan.
I’d like to see the knot he tied when tiring her up. Love the videos thanks for helping me over the years. I’ve learned so much. Because you don’t know what you don’t know.
Sir, your knowledge is so valuable. I've grown up riding and training, but you are the ultimate mentor. You are the whole package, age, wisdom, kindness. I wish I had a way to put all your CZcams videos on a DVD and keep forever.
"I don't believe in runnin' 'em around like a flock of quail', Amen to that! I stopped doing that (even though I had a very well respected horseman telling me that is what I suppose to do), the day my horse looked back at me as if to say, 'what did I do wrong, now?'
As always, watching you work with colts is fascinating. Much appreciation from Nova Scotia. Finally we have good weather to get lots of saddle time in, way up here.
"We are not in hurry, we don't have anywhere to be!"
15:47 Start to finish.. lucky them..
Great instructional video guys.. excellent
Another great lesson! Thank you!
Thank you
Thanx 4 the video ...u are much help cowboy 🤠 God bless
Muuuy buen trabajo amigo Pat! En esa rosilla . Son muy buenos esa raza de caballos, like ranch horse or cow horse. Saludos y bendiciones 🙌👍🙋desde Sonora. Mex. Para: Pat and Deb...
Nice. Thank you
Thank you master
Always nice to see Pat's work. How long of a lead rope are you using here?
You do a good job Pat seems to me flags sticks and whips just add more work not less. Like you im old ànd try to do as little as i can and get the most from it. My opinion flags should be blowing in the wind sticks should be in the fire and whips not seen. Thanks for Video
👍
I am
Curious how old is the roan mare when they brought her in ? Thank you
I think the rancher has had this mare for a couple of months. She's a 3 year old.
Interesting vocalization she makes when she's suspicious of what you're doing.
You have a lot to learn
When you flapped the flag and the horse moved the left hind, you kept waving the flag so she didn’t know that was what you wanted. The only choice was to flee.
He wanted her to yield her hindquarters and step closer to the fence as she has been taught to do and has proven that she understands in previous sessions. He was past the "reward the slightest try" part. This was an example of the roller coaster of training young horses. They can sometimes go backwards and say "I don't want to do this today." The horsemen has to know when to ask for more and when to insist on more.
@@PatnDebPuckett thanks for your response. I have never seen your videos before so knew nothing about the trainer. I guess my problem was that she was hard tied and clearly anxious and “up” so when she thought she needed to flee to “survive the day” she wrenched her neck and may well have been injured. I’m sure his intentions were good but I’m also sure he wouldn’t want to harm her. I don’t know what happened because I had to stop watching. I was afraid to see what happened next. Just so you know, I wasn’t trying to criticize but rather help in case he didn’t realize about stopping the flag when they get it right. Anyway, wishing you all the best, truly, and thanks again for explaining.
I have loved all of Pat's videos up to now BUT I do not see any reason to tie the mare hard and fast before that totally predictable freeze and blind bolt she did that first time. Fetching up that hard at that angle with a rope halter tied hard, it's just too easy to cause serious long lasting damage. Folks, even though our beloved teacher did it, DO NOT set it up that way. The consequences can be just too horrible.
Well considering your account has no content… and a horse has a mind of its own.. and no matter how good you think you are… things like that happen even when we offer the best deal from the start.
I respect your opinion but I want you to focus on the fact that Pat told everyone at the start of the video that this mare has been roped ALOT. She has also been worked on the ground and taught where the end of the rope is. I would also argue that her response was not, in fact, predictable as she did the exercise perfectly during a previous session. What you also need to remember is that I could have edited this part out but we pride ourselves on showing the good and the ugly and the unexpected so that people might learn how things really work when training horses. Most horsemen on CZcams never show you what happens "behind the scenes" so to speak. So, I made the decision to show this session in its entirety, blemishes and all. It can be pretty discouraging to be judged by people who probably have a lot less experience but a lot more opinions than we do. But there you are. Take it for what it's worth and try to become better horsemen.
Undoubtedly an anthropomorphic wannabe. Used to teaching horses to pull back by tying to baling twine. The mare is fine and better for the experience.
Your horse dont trust you,or like you.
Thank you
