My regular dose of sanity and reason in an increasingly crazy world. Thanks, Dwayne!

Thank you momma for getting us a video! Nice to see the classes going.

@curtislow6018 2 года назад

Very good point, consider the equine first; anatomy and physically first. Look forward to all your horse sense and knowledge always! Thank you Sir 🇺🇸🦅

Another little trick I use to do to a saddle I'd put a small metal ring under the blood knot on the front left string then loop a rubber band made from a inner tube then any thing you hang over the saddle horn you then can lock it down buy pulling the band up over the horn .

@Vrindavan82 Год назад

Excellent advice about horses health and which size saddle bags to use and which saddle bags to use and when to use them. Thank you very much for explaining what a horn bag is used for now I know. I have both of them used in western movies and country movies tv series

I am a 39 year old chef who lives in the big city and only rode a horse one time when I was small. But I watch every one of your videos. They calm me.

@hhlagen 2 года назад

I really like those smaller saddle bags on your saddle. Makes sense when you talk about the horses kidneys.

@Donboyd100 2 года назад

Good to see a new video,been missing them. Good to hear school is doing well 👌.

Hey Dwayne, I just came back from a 7 day cross trail with my horse and three friends in Germany. I want to thank you for all that effort you put in your channel. I'm always looking forward to seeing the next weekly episode. I like your stile, your approach and the way you look at the world ! And of course all the information you share so willingly. kind regards Manfred

Horn bags are great for short rides. Easy on easy off, cell phone and one water bottle on one side, halter on the other. Good for an afternoon

@tracyjohnson5023 2 года назад

They're great for some. I don't use them because I've got enough going on in front trying to ride coltsrehab behavior horses and ponying another horse. They just get in my way. But that's just me personally most of my riding buddies use horn bags and love them. They are more convenient for sure as it's easier to get stuff out.

@thecapone45 Год назад

Very relaxing to listen to and watch. Like seeing videos on leather and bags.

@adamlemons7909 2 года назад

I’ve missed you my friend, thanks for the video! :-) Prayers of peace and blessings for you, Mama and the school!

@nicolaslane7451 2 года назад

Could you do a video on chaps how to size then, take care of them, choosing a good pair. That sort of thing.

@tracyjohnson5023 2 года назад

Love your videos the only thing I disagree with on this one is phone in saddlebags. Always keep your phone on your person just in case you and horse get separated. I always have my knife, my phone and my pistol on my person and yes I have been "separated" from the horse more than once 😂

@bunnygaffney2765 2 года назад

It's all on what you can afford at the time .my son was 14 and worked for a horse trader .we all were ranch hands in the 80s.he would take rides out for this guy to work his horses. He would just rig up what he could . We got him a used saddle for his 12th bday .he worked his tail off .but made money to buy a new roping horse .

@deanjenkins4716 2 года назад

Actually a great subject that gets over looked by many people! No matter how well they think their horse is trained or bomb proof

@tracyjohnson5023 2 года назад

Great point! I've seen some wrecks on "broke" horses with loaded flapping saddlebags lol. Why I always put loaded saddlebags and a slicker on a colt during that first 30 days, both before first ride and after. I also make sure I put slicker on and take off while riding. After desensitizing on ground first lol. Sadly, training for saddlebags, hobbles and getting a horse good for farrier training have fallen by the wayside for many "modern trainers" even those that bill themselves as colt starters.

@russpeters4477 2 года назад

as long as you are talking about don't forget to remind them about cowboy hats and tree limbs. had some green ones come unglued....

@lessiewood5812 2 года назад

Great video . Thank you. Stay safe and healthy happy trails.

@MrBearbait75 2 года назад

Always good stuff! Thank you.

@deniseandstevej5396 2 года назад

Just the answer I was looking for. Thank you!

@tracyjohnson5023 2 года назад

Great advice as usual Dwayne. Only thing I'd add is if somebody needs full front and rear saddlebags add a pack mule to your string to carry it all instead of your horse.

@evelynwaugh4053 2 года назад

What saddle is Tony's? Is it an A fork? Looks comfy and is attractive.

@beeamerica5024 2 года назад

Good class 👌🐝

@kellywalker8407 2 года назад

I found that packing a saddle bag is kind of like a mini version of packing a mule. If they are even in weight you don't have to straighten your saddle all the time. That's why I hated packing a rifle unless elk hunting or something. Much preferred a handgun for routine chores. I always rode with the cinch just tight enough to do the job. Might as well make it as comfortable for the horse as possible.

@edwardchild7989 2 года назад

Enjoyed thank you.

@johnwayne524 2 года назад

Great channel! I’m a 30 year old engineer by trade but I’m seriously thinking about taking the pay cut and changing to the Wrangler lifestyle. Your videos are full of wisdom and knowledge. I hope to go to your school some day if I can convince myself to take the leap. God Bless!

@KA-qw5cv 2 года назад

Not going to encourage you to make such a drastic change, but will give you a couple of things to consider. One is you are young enough to make a change like that & then go back to engineering if the change does not work out. The other consideration is once you reach a certain age & have not tried something you really wanted to try, it is near impossible to then give it a try (ask me how I know 🤨). Think on it and maybe go to the Dry Creek Wrangler school to see if it is worth pursuing. I am of the mind that a lower paying job is not bad if you love what you are doing!! Best wishes for whatever you do!

@tracyjohnson5023 2 года назад

@@KA-qw5cv great advice! Do it while you're young because sometimes it really is too late because of responsibilities and physicality required. My dad told me a long time ago, if you have a profession you love you will never work a day in your life. Yes he borrowed the quote but it really made an impression on me thus a lifetime of horses.

@kdranchaz3240 2 года назад

LOVE your videos Pard! I’ve got a set of smaller, well made leather saddle bags that line up perfectly to my rear saddle strings. My question is what type of not is best? Looks like you tied a double overhand knot? I thought of a shoelace knot for easy release but don’t know if that’s secure enough w/o loosening on the ride? Your preference on string knots? Thanks Pard!

@DryCreekWranglerSchool 2 года назад

I just use a double overhand knot. Keepin’ life as simple as we can 😆

@kdranchaz3240 2 года назад

Less is more I have discovered as well…I appreciate the quick reply. I’ll give that a go next outing. Thank you Sir! 🤠

@justinmercer1244 Год назад

Your small day ride sized saddle bags are really nice looking. Good practical size. Are those Triple K as well?

@laurelsayer7557 2 года назад

Another great video. And if all your wrangler school sessions are this good (and I lived in USA!) I'd certainly want to sign up. 😁

@nitronick103 Год назад

From someone who’s newer to 2-3 day horse trips I sacrificed an older saddle pad to put under my rear saddle bags, cut them down to the size of the the bags to add additional relief and padding on the kidneys. Do you think that’s a good idea or dumb or overkill

@westinroueche406 2 года назад

Where would you put your bed roll and\or tent if you are going on a multiple day trip.

@kren1101 2 года назад

I would say over the bags, under a slicker!

@kwev4773 Год назад

How do you keep the contents dry when it rains?

@arthurleslie9669 2 года назад

While watching the video, I couldn't help but wonder if anyone's tried using Velcro yet to keep the saddlebags on. LOL

@colewiekeraad438 2 года назад

I am currently looking for a smaller set of saddle bags that will hold up to daily use. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

@DryCreekWranglerSchool 2 года назад

Those smaller day-bags of mine, mounted on that wade saddle, are made by Big Bend Saddlery, and are really good.

@colewiekeraad438 2 года назад

Thank you. Your videos have taught me a lot and are an invaluable resource.

@williammatzek4660 2 года назад

A laugh for you. Spring turkey hunt. I was 6 ft from the edge of a corn field, behind elm saplings. Breeze in my face. I squeaked my call once. To my left a crash in brush. A few minutes later on the edge of the corn field. A coyote walks by a few ft behind another coyote. It stoped to sniff in the corn. I looked around the elm sapling. In a low voice I said hey. I think the second coyote jumped 10 ft. Just a minute later couple hundred ft out in the corn stands a coyote is looking at me. It turns it head to right!.
