Here is my stab at the "once;" in Spanish, "once" means eleven, so I gather the "once" refers to a slide stop. In the slide stop, the hind's leave a track which resembles an eleven, or "once". So the maneuver of the slide stop took on the name of the tracks. Just my two bits, @Pat & Deb Puckett. Sure enjoy watching Chinaco's progression, and have incorporated a lot of what you teach in working with my young Lusitano gelding. Chinaco's tongue habit is just like my gelding's, in fact, I stick my tongue out quite often when I am thinking hard, maybe it is a Portuguese thing for horses and humans, HAHA.
Yes - I sit and watch, and then I go out to my young horse and try to remember all the instructions about weight and pressure and flat hands - and sometimes it works and I never quite know what I did right! But it's all good - sometimes my clever little horse just does what I was thinking about anyway! Many years ago I was given a ride on a western-trained horse and I was astounded. at what it would do without my asking! I have been trying to achieve the same results ever since.
Hi Pat and Deb.Thanks again for sharing the journey to bridle horse with Chinaco.It's amazing to see how his body is changing as he learns to carry himself with a rider on board.Looking forward to the rest of the trip!
'Oh by the way, I am done!' You Rock Pat! Thank you for breaking it down to simple step so someone as non-fast as me can follow. Still waiting to hear from you. James in Chino Valley
I learn more from you Pat in 10 minutes than from others in months. Deb, you are a good sport but when you showed us the beautiful belt you mentioned, years. So you understand Pat's humour. The talk about the forests and the fire is exactly what went on here, Canada, and we are in exactly the same place you are in California. I have no idea and never will understand why city folks think they know more than those who not only live on the land, some live IN the land. Thank you so much, (gosh rereading this I note I am starting to sound like you!) for the great teaching and stories and often just good entertainment.
And by the way a the forest service gets paid for acres burned by our government. They are worthless here in Texas. Our local fire department is way more interested in actually putting fires out
@@trwhitr my husband is a retired CALFIRE Fire Captain. he is absolutely beside himself because no one can figure out why the State can contain and put out fires, and the second it is turned over to a Fed agency, then the fire burns for MONTHS. Now I know why. Do you know where to find out more information on this policy?
@@lisag378 I’ll see if I can find a link. My son flies helicopters and has flown to help out out fires and one of his best friend flies for the forest service. That’s how I knew those 2 told me it’s all about the money and acres. After they have their “safety meeting” and make a plan they determine if it’s safe or not. Good grief it’s a fire! How safe do they think it can be? Our government is stupid but the bottom line is the lawyers have ruined this country
@@trwhitr my husband is a helitack fire captain and wonder if he knows your son! it is a small world in the firefighting/aircraft world. You said it right too. Lawyers are about the only ones with a guaranteed paycheck these days!
@@lisag378 my son only flies locally but Luke Boedeker has a contract with the forest service. I’m not sure where his planes are prone to fly. One time we had a fore here in the panhandle of Texas. The forest service wouldn’t use Luke who was local but called for planes from Canada. 🧐 it’s a wonder what kind of folks make these kind of decisions certainly not the good ole country kind
The way I was taught to remember the dressage letters was: All Kind Elephants Have Cuddly Mothers Big Fathers. That makes no sense either but there it is! I love watching the progression of your horses. It is lovely to see Chinaco doing so well with another rider. Good job, Deb!! Oh and Pat too for the training!
Starting to understand to a different degree - how it takes quite a while to get the horses/humans trained or out lasted so a person and horse understand each other so much better - like a centaur!!! The clinic was really enjoyed - to be watched a number of times as bits and pieces from other videos get put together:) Thank you
Well ... Deb said something, Pat says, "That's a good point." But, we never did hear what the good point was. Another great video and I liked the new music. Thanks.
what a service..thank you both for the videos..cant wait to watch them all..im not the clinic type, like to work out my own problems but thanks for the tools..
You both ride very well. Its sometimes a challenge to ride another horse that's used to someone else. It looks like Deb's horse is used to her and the way she asks for things, whereas Pat is a bit more demanding and has higher expectations. Pat had him better in the back up with clearer signals. Deb's stop on Chinaco was awesome :)
I meant to add this to another informative video you gave on grazing, the molasses licks and baling wire. Baling wire, I think every farm in the country was held together with it!
Love the method. I’m going to try and explain what I’ve learned from you Pat and Debbie because it’s my honour to listen to your lessons. 1) excuse me, 2) hear it comes 3) thankyou (release) breathe. Today I had an awesome ride . I was extremely deliberate, very soft but meant what I asked of my horse. It’s is a refreshing thing to first think .. I’m going to do something.. by the time you say “hear it comes” , your horse is already ready your body language and you need only the lightest touch . Can you expand on what I’ve heard you say “ don’t school your horse on the road home. I’ve more confidence in the working yard than I have on the way home even tho my horse has never done nothing .. it’s just me . Do you have any advice?
You don’t school a horse on the way home because his mind is on home, not on you. Regarding your fear level, that is something you have to address by riding outside. Staying in the arena is not the answer.
@@PatnDebPuckett oh wow thank you so much for replying, it’s such a highlight for me. I love your videos I’m watching them all, sometimes over again.. I started riding out and the best decision ever. Thank you sooooo much. Send you all gratitude from Australian. Thank you so what u do.
LOVE "in the marriage world" asked to critique and happens once a year lol. Pats attitude probably has a lot to do with the longevity of their marriage and the mutual respect evident.
The ban and block environmentalists have had their way now for a very long time. They need to step aside and let the sensible unemotional environmentalists take the wheel. I read a great book called APOCALYPSE NEVER by Michael Shellenberger and he speaks of what you just described and more. I think you would enjoy this book.
iIn 1959 I worked for the Forest Service in ORE . And we fell a lot of dead bugs, killed trees and burned them, it was the dumbfucks in the calf that went nuts and let them destroy all thm ! in 61 i quit them, theBest move i very made !
Best and clearest video you have done on seat position. I will have to try it out. Also noticed that the horse trots when side passing! I think even hard core environmentalists agree that putting the fires out for so long was wrong headed. My issue with logging is the roads. They're just an excuse for offroaders to tear up the forest after the logging has gone and need to be reclaimed. It would also help with grazing if there was a cowboy always tending the herd.
My horse backs up ok with a little persuasion. He likes to toss his head when I ask with a bit and go behind the bit. Should I go back to the missing link?
Yes you need to go back to the MLS and ride better. Release with each step. If the horse’s head is too low, lift the reins up. The subject of the three hand positions is covered in many past videos. You also need to check your horse’s teeth.
@@l.d.b.r5141 whenever a horse starts slinging his head, you have to ask yourself if he has something wrong with his teeth which causes pain. Make an appointment with your vet.
