Very nice , I have been practicing some ranch roping with some friends on some of the roped out calf roping steers and heifers they pick up cheap and have a rusty ol 15 year old horse that I own and put the break away on a old rope so I don't get into trouble and love putting on a slow calf then troughtin and coilup and dally and stop .. fun stuff.

I put mine in a bench vise and use a hand saw to take out a saw blade width, faster and easier than a rasp in my opinion. Great videos and information, Pat. Thanks for sharing it with us who haven't been around as long. Darcy from southern Alberta, Canada.
Thanks, Pat. Sure has caused me to duck a time or two. Solution is worth the weight in gold. Still have some unpaved roads around here and hope most stay that way here in south central MT... Happy New Year.
Hi Folks, it's me again. I have one of those break a way hondos someplace, the black bent over one, never did like it. Central Coast California . Thanks
So questions from prince George British Columbia Canada. I am having issues with teaching my 4 year old Appaloosa mare to canter in the arena. She will canter on the hack and in the field. And she is almost fancy broke off the leg and I can rope her and off her but as soon as she is in the arena she is only trot. I would love a suggestion
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. Thoroughly enjoy your videos and great humour. I’m enjoying your history lessons as well. Am about halfway through reading Two Years Before the Mast. We don’t have much Western riding knowledge down here, so anything more you could add, perhaps a historical timeline on the Vacquero Way would be most appreciated. I’m also reading De Deb Bennett’s book, Conquerors, history of the New World. Waiting for your and JSR dvd to be delivered to my friend in England, who will bring it for me. Have a fabulous weekend.
We are proud to count you among our viewers. We’re in Australia at the moment (our hosts are from South Africa) and will address more historical videos when we get back home. Thank you for watching...
I love these tips! Thank you! Your added comments are comical too.. “ before the streets were paved”! Lol I’m in Northern Illinois , in Harvard, on the Wisconsin border. Originally from Chicago, born and raised.
How do you install it? Just bought a breakaway rope and filed down the plastic hondo. Do I cut the end with the original hondo and cut the original hondo off to put the new plastic hondo on? I live in north Mississippi and am from central Minnesota. Thanks 😄
You can just slide the regular hondo off the end of the rope and slide the breakaway hondo on. If your rope has a knot at the end of the rope, wrap electric tape around the rope next to the knot and cut the knot off. Then burn the end to keep it from unraveling. You don’t want a knot on the end of your rope.

I’m moving from the city in California to rural land I’ve been practicing my hondos knot. I’ve gotten good with it. And no I’m not a Democrat and I don’t want to change where I’m moving to. I also don’t want to get rid of gun rights. ❤️🙏
I've asked a couple folks without much luck, what do you call the crease/shape of the hat you wear? I really like that style with a telescope crown crease, flat brim and a slight down crease in front and slight up in the back. I've just never heard a name for it. --Phoenix, AZ
A lot of people call it a flat top popular with californio vaquero buckaroo style. Along with other variasions. It says alot about who you are and your view on life horses and livestock handling.
Hey Pat and Deb loving the videos, here in the UK we can only use breakaways! I'm in Chesterfield Derbyshire England. keep the videos coming, and I'll keep watchin em! ;)
I was just using mine last week on a two that has never been touch. I was practicing my soft feel had her leading with it can’t apply to much pressure with it. “Montana”
amen to that! Pat, can you comment? I did this exact thing to a freshly roped youngster in less-than -40 ft corral with said break-way. Used the breakaway rope in case I got in over my head in a situation (not handy as you). Still got to the feet and taught a lead to said colt without being haltered yet. After seeing the Chinaco videos I would not have needed to do it that way, but it still seemed to work on a youngster in small pen.
In this video, Pat was talking about the breakaway hondo as a tool to be used by beginner ropers. Not as a tool for making a horse light. Training a horse with a breakaway hondo is just teaching that horse that if he pulls hard enough he can get away. If you’re in a round pen and get in a bind, let go of the rope. Don’t use a breakaway hondo for training. People think that to make a light horse, you never pull hard. That’s not the case. Making a light horse means you pull as hard as you need to pull to get a response and RELEASE as soon as the horse moves in the right direction. So I think there’s a basic misunderstanding here of what lightness means and what a soft feel is. Here’s a link to a video About Collection: czcams.com/video/rhaEfa57ASU/video.html . Also watch our older videos where Pat ropes horses. You’ll see that he never uses a breakaway hondo to teach a horse to be light.
I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, I agree with you if you rope your horse with the break away and your horse pulls away and it breaks away the horse will learn to pull away and you are if fact a “dink” lol. When she wanted to pull away I would get her attention again with the rope still on her. The break away was more for my own hands to not be so heavy. It’s been real icy here and I was just seeing if I could get her leading with a break away it was the first rope I happened to see hanging on the wall when I got this colt in and I got a bright idea I had her leading after a little bit.
One more thing I forgot to mention, if things get fast in the roundpen and the horse is running around, cut him off. Walk to the edges of the roundpen and cut the horse off. Don’t run. Walk. Now turn around and walk to the other side of the roundpen and cut the horse off. Keep calmly walking to the edge of the roundpen so the horse doesn’t just blindly run and run and run out of fear. I wanted to clarify this because Barb mentioned using the breakaway in case she got in over her head. The breakaway isn’t the answer in that case. Some people don’t realize that it’s ok to slow the horse down by turning him back until he re-engages his brain.
Hey, my name is oded, im a dog trainer from isreal, i love watching your video's and the rope skills i learned from them help me work escepe dogs at shelter and dogs that have a problem being tached ( some can be pretty bitty).

Hey Mr. Pat, I’m from northeast Louisiana. I was wandering if you could show me how to install the plastic breakaway on the rope? Thanks
