@@blaydeshearer5610 I apologize for not seeing your comment sooner. It was hidden under another comment. Have you watched our video about roping a horse if you don’t know how to rope? This would be a good place to start. Please email us direct if you have any questions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mTmdJD6Fgxs.html

Where Poloxalene works best is breaking down the foam in legume (alfalfa) bloat. While i've never had to trocar one, I've used a 5/8" hose (plus Pat's Bloat stick (r) as a Speculum and deflated a bloaty heifer like a balloon. The Chronic bloaters often has respiratory infections that damaged the Vagal nerve so they couldn't belch effectively anymore.

I second that . Mine has too . Thank you Pat and Deb .

That is awesome! Thank you for commenting.

I would like to say thank y’all as well. After having a double hip replacement in 2019 I had to find a safe way to start riding again. By luck I found u guys and realized how much I did not know. Pats Philosophy on horse training is priceless. He is truly changing the lives of riders and especially the lives of so many horses with his shared knowledge. God bless

Some horses - Phil and chinaco maybe, had some good fun behind you! Great video - lots of humor and saavy👍

@@guillaumevalat8061 I agree the horses in the background put some further training on display. Gray never tried to whirl, paw, nicker, check out to buddy up to the horse activity around him.

I remember when my dad used that word in teaching me at age 13 (yep) to drive a standard VW bug. He talked about working the clutch so nicely that no one else even can tell it's not an automatic.

Yes flat hats give better sun protection

With this particular horse, it would be a waste of time. He had already been ridden many miles poorly and had learned to lean on the bit and gap his mouth. It isn’t that he didn’t understand how to back up. He just wasn’t connecting riding off of the rider’s body instead of being pulled backwards by force.

It’s our Missing Link Snaffle: www.thedisciplinedride.com/store

1. Lots of ground work, so he's used to moving with you. 2. In a round pen or fairly small space, get on him when you have plenty of time and take it real slow. Loose rein. Get a step or two and then let him stop. Don't keep bugging him, but don't give up either. 3. Take him away from the barn or wherever he wants to be and then get on and ride him back. Again, he'll get used to going with you and you want to make it pleasant. I don't mean a beeline for the barn or his friends. Do turns, zig zag etc. That said, a horse that won't move may have issues.-- mental or physical -- and at some point his response to your prodding may be to explode on you. A good trainer could help you rule that out,. So could a vet if you haven't had him thoroughly checked over. Now I'll defer to the experts.

Also, get him gelded. You shouldn't be riding a stallion unless you're experienced

@@kidstuff44555 Yes! That should be first.

@@epona9166 Yep :) Then all your suggestions were good too

No. It’s just a Stetson. I wore an Akubra when we were in Australia…Deb

Solid shank quarter horses shank - will appreciate your experience - GERRIE

THEY BOTH GOT THE TONGUE ROLLER - SAME LOCATION ( BUT DIFFERENT) FORM

@@fixxpertsemergencyservices4402 I would have to see a photo of the bit you’re asking about.

Yes. A good harness horse works off of voice commands.

Yes, this can be applicable to a younger horse if you are failing with pressure and release.

Put the poles parallel with a fence and put the horse's hind end agains the fence. When the horse is comfortable with that, roll the poles further and further away from the fence.

It’s an English noseband. We don’t use tie downs. If you haven’t done so already, check the horse’s teeth before you do anything else.

@@PatnDebPuckett Thank you. I have had his teeth floated a couple of months ago.

We hang our horses after we ride them so they won’t associate getting home with being immediately put away. It also gives them time to dry off so they won’t get so dirty when they roll. We never feed our horses treats.

@@PatnDebPuckett thank you for your response. Merry Christmas to y’all.

Because he wasn’t making any progress and continued to be very heavy as a result of poor riding in his past. So he needed to learn to find his own release.

I don’t know your background but on this channel we encourage positive discourse and honest questions. That type of dialogue encourages open discussion and the ability to dive deeper with explanations. We don’t appreciate “drive by” comments by people who probably haven’t taken the time to watch our other content. We work many different horses. They are not all the same. The people who like our channel appreciate the fact that we are willing to show the good, the bad, and the ugly unlike many people who post videos of finished horses only and not the way that the finished horse was trained. Not all of our subscribers approve of all of our methods but we all are respectful of each other. I look forward to you asking a direct question about the part of the video which you don’t approve of or understand. Regarding the dark side of dressage, I hope we can agree that much of main stream dressage depends on horses with their mouths cranked shut with roller buckles and their heads behind the vertical with overflexed necks that do not allow the horse to move in a way that will ensure long term soundness, both physically and mentally.

One more thing that comes to mind that you might not understand. Many of the horses we have did not benefit from a classical foundation. They were ridden poorly for much of their lives. Helping them to understand that they don’t have to brace their entire body against the rider is not always a pretty process. I encourage you to watch our playlist on Pat’s personal horse, Chinaco. He’s a 3 year old Iberian that is going really well in the bosal. ru-vid.com/group/PLqolZu7D-bMMdARnpbtdDvrpdyc932e4y

@@PatnDebPuckett nice! What region? I like the terrain there. I had assumed Nevada or Arizona.

@@Paradisecountryinc Lake Isabella

Vet Also said garden hose down the throat but I havent had luck with it. We also tried bloat blocks.

A heater hose works better because it’s more rigid. You bevel the end that goes down the throat.

Kinda like when you and your car are on ice spinning out of control and all you want to know “should I turn my wheels to the left or to the right?”

Any form of horse training takes time. Sometimes a lot of time It depends on the results, and how long it takes for a horse to learn the lesson.

First, there is more than one way to teach a horse to back up. We don’t use our legs to initiate the back up because our goal is to have the horse back up off of our seat. We use our legs to correct the horse if he starts to get crooked. In a finished horse, we pick the horse up in our hand, lean back, and the horse walks backwards. The noseband is a temporary fix for a horse that has learned, through poor riding, to gap at the mouth. So in this case, it was needed for about a week.

Shelley. It sounds that you related legs and backing to english riding. In westernriding you dont use legs in backing, only correcting them in the right way.

@@sheeptrix66 There is no difference. You use your legs when you want him to go forward.. why wouldn't you use legs while asking him to back up? Legs.. release with hands, go forward. Legs, hands hold, he moves back. Simple. English or Western. ( I ride Western) It's logical, no riding style.
