The “California” style of vaquero horsemanship is no other than the Mexican style of horsemanship whether white people like it or not. If white people like it or not that’s irrelevant, they can cry about it and say whatever lie or misinformation they want. After all saying a lie many times does not make it become true it would just be a repeated lie. Every time there is a white man saying the “California style of horsemanship or vaquero” is just a person that is still bitter and sour, has not matured enough to say the truth and recognize that in fact it is the Mexican style of horsemanship and cattle handling ways. But until the truth is being recognized and things are acknowledged and credit is given to where it is due there would be people calling out what is not correct.
These training techniques did not develop in California. They developed in central Mexico. From there they spread to all Mexico not just California which was part of Spain and Mexico.
The truth has been told This wrongly called “California vaquero way” are not Californian, they are Mexican. It is absurd to say they are Californian when the horsemanship and cattle handling techniques moved up north from Mexico, they are Mexican in fact. To say they are Californian is so absurd like to say that number 4 is before number 1. These same “California” techniques are used in the state of Jalisco and many other states in Mexico, far from Alta California.
@@NB-sy5gb no, I have been to Spain and I have friends who build Spanish saddles and the saddles are very different than saddles of Mexico . The saddles that were brought from Spain to Mexico had to be modified because new techniques were invented. The head ( erroneously called horn) of the saddle was invented in central Mexico to hold the long reatas. The long Spanish garrocha (pole) was not good enough to handle cattle. Team roping was invented, bull riding, bull tailing etc. All this is perfectly documented.
Love the video. First time seeing your channel. I've been watching knot-tying videos lately and one thing I noticed here is that you are taking the bight and putting it over the top of the rail. All the other bank robber knot videos I've seen they come up from the bottom and then over the top toward the handler. Idk if it makes a difference in how the knot works, but it's easier to see how the knot is tied when you do that. 😀
Good videos! I see you graduated HS class of '72. Same here from Thousand Oaks High. Worked at KNJO FM radio during high school years. Have had horses for more than 45yrs and always learning. Living in NE WA state. Happy trails!
So easy and fun to watch and listen to! I have been taught a quick release knot lots of times but just cannot tie one. Maybe watching a few times will print it in my brain! Thanks!😊
My horse has a lump on his knee and I had xrays done and he was diagnosed with left front carpal lameness, soft tissue arthritis. I'm looking for a treatment that will make him feel better.
Nothing wrong with your video, I happen to like you repeating the steps it made it where I didn’t have to go back over the video again because you did it with good timing. I hope your still making the video series I’ll find out shortly. Thanks for taking the time to impress some of your wisdom on the younger generations
At the beginning don't just take off the halter and walk away. With seasoned or older horses, you should still do the same. A lot of times we just take off the halter and walk away, but does it really matter. Good video. Thx
I remember years ago, doing an event were there were rings hanging and the rider wiuld have to hook the rings with a stick. Has anyone seen this event? Thanks.
Hi, I just subscribed to this channel and this video is a working wonder 🥰 although my Horse, he's an Old man and pretty chill but I love to see different knot's to tie your Horse 🐎
The only thing that stops me from sharing this important video is that he took six minutes to explain what could have been explained in two minutes. Keep in mind, too, that viewers can do replays and can slow the speed. So, repetition is not important.
I lived on University just a few houses up from River Blvd across the street from "Gutter Park." I was only about 5 years old but I remember a fire truck driving down the street and the water was higher than the wheels. There was also a man that was floating down the street with a guitar. My mom tried to throw him a water hose which was the only thing she could find but he was unable to catch it. I always wondered what happened to him.
