Pat’s a great teacher and horseman. I really enjoy the lessons that can be learned from Pat!
I bought Pats' rope halter & 12 ft rope years ago and that's how I ride my horse . The transition from bit to bitless didn't take long....did groundwork & arena riding, then on to the trails. Happy horse, happy rider.

Sadly, the lighting is so bad that I can't see any of his bridles. This the 1st video by him I've seen, and I get a good feeling from it, although I have heard that he, like all of the big male horsemen, is very arrogant. I will judge for myself though. If there are any videos on his training methods, I look forward to checking that out.
Wonderful 😊
When thinking of the welfare of the horse, I do not understand why Vaqueros will transition from a traditional hackamore to a spade bit. That is just crazy.
I agree! Their thinking was still really messed up. And with some it still is, but thankfully most people are coming around. You can do anything bitless as long as your horse is trained for it. The highest jumps, and top level dressage among them.
As much as reining can be cruel, and barrel racing definitely is, they can also be done bitless. There is no longer any excuse for people to be hauling on horses mouths.
Beginners are famous for pulling very hard on them! So the half dead plugs they are often put on, especially in the trail ride environment, are the ones that would benefit the most from a bitless bridle. I'm so tired of seeing those poor things being tortured!
A spade bit is literally just for looks; the horse just packs it. A properly trained bridle horse should never need the reins even touched. They work completely off the seat and legs
@@casdragon_5939 No. It affects the horse even if it is not engaged. Should not go into a horse's mouth at all.
I love them too Pat! Ever since I was a little girl. My Grammie took me to the polo show when I was six. I got to lead a horse around and I was HOOKED. I thought, "Look at little me leading this big animal around..." After that, every birthday, every Christmas all I wanted was a HORSE. Finally, when I was 12 my daddy bought me the meanest, rank horse I ever met. I thought he was great! It is a miracle he did not kill me. LOL...Anyway, I am 60 now and still have a horse :) I learned my daddy probably spent a months pay on that horse for a little girl that never, ever gave up on her dream....Thanks, dad!!
What a beautiful memory! You are so blessed! ❤
I have a question, can you use a hackamore on a racehorse? Like thoroughbred racing. It's just been bugging me for so long because I haven't found anything on hackamores and racing apart from barrel racing and endurance. Please reply! Thank you!
I haven't seen it either, but I do jumping and stuff with my horse in a hackamore. His name is Pi. :)
You can use a hackamore for any purpose. Racing like thoroughbred racing don't like them because it doesn't cause any pain and pressure on the horse's mouth making him go faster to release the pressure of the bit.
@@keeslover777 It's a great question by the OP! And you made excellent point about the bit. One that is likely rarely considerred.
First, racing is inherently cruel in every aspect. It needs to be stopped. But once that's clear we can move on to discuss the bits.
Have you ever seen an actual race horse ridden in any environment? OTTBs, or Off Track Thoroughbreds, aren't as high strung as horses that are in racing, even if they were raced at one point, because the race horses are very young and have been trained in a VERY strict way. It rarely includes any kindness. To the people that train them, a fraction of a second faster or slower can mean a fortune in payoff.
Once you have a high strung 2 year old that has been raised to think his life depends on running as fast as he can, it's possible they will run themself to death if not stopped by mechanical means. Even with the metal bits many of them are only barely under control when ridden for exercise, racing, or being moved from the barn to the track. Changing the bits means changing SO MUCH more about the thinking. That is the real roadblock! The poor horses need to be trained in a completely different way. People whose livelihoods depend on it will resist very hard.
We need to see actual research with real racehorses in bitless bridles that they have been trained to understand. That will be hugely expensive. We need a new Bob Barker. Somebody rich, who is willing to fund the research. (RIP to the animals' greatest friend. Bob, you are so sorely missed! ❤)
If they merely run on for longer, but then stop, that's just a minor inconvenience. So what if they have to be ridden back to the finish line to be taken to cool down? I suspect that is the only actual problem, and to me that's nothing, but the proponents of metal bits in racing always use the claim they can't be stopped at all, so that needs to be disproven, and we can't say a thing until it's been done, because the safety of the jockeys is always used as the reason. (Though we know they don't really give a damn about jockeys.)
We need real proof. It will come, but sadly it will take a long time, because that's a VERY expensive experiment.
Very soon we will get rid of Big Lick, including the far worse bits they use, with 6 and even 8 inch shanks on them. We also badly need to get rid of or drastically change rodeos, with their obvious cruelty. That will come soon too.
Then the pressure will really be on racing, as the last one of the cruelest of so-called sports, to prove their claims or change. At that point the attention will be laser focused on them, and there will be no more wiggling out of it. They will be forced to prove their point, or change. It's going to take that proof though, because it's an international sport with BILLIONS of dollars behind it.
@cattymajiv bitless dressage is becoming more popular. If there's GOOD communication between the rider and horse, bits simply aren't needed. However, FEI claims it's puts the bitless competitor at a disadvantage, though I don't know how. Considering how much training dressage horses and riders get, it's been shown that even without a bridle, the horse will still "run" the dressage or jumper course on their own.
As far as Big Lick goes, don't EVEN get me started on THAT cruelty.
Racing- ugh. The last horse race I watched was the 2014 Kentucky Derby. Then my eyes were opened to the science of the pain and life of these horses. Stalled up for 22+ hours a day, the bits, chains, whips, spurs, etc. They're raced until they're no longer winners and then either sent to claiming races to be sold or worse... to the slaughter houses.
Am I only the only one who thinks Pat looks just a bit like Jack from Heartland? XD My horse gets ridden in both a hackamore and bit, primarily hackamore. :)
