Sometimes, We Just Don’t Know 

Dewayne is part cowboy, part preacher and part poet. A good old soul.

TANK!!! My dude. I had the pleasure of riding him all week at the school. He definitely made me learn. A mirror of myself. I hope you can continue to use him

Tank stamped so happily when you said you weren’t selling him. Maybe Tank could be a therapy horse for children to learn how to take care of a horse.

Part of being a man, or woman, is admitting fault or lack of knowledge. It doesn't mean you're weak. It actually means you are strong. Cheers Dewayne!

Wow. I'm impressed. This shows the gentleness, strength and intelligence of a true man to show kindness to an animal and think about what kind of life it must have had before it made it to your hands. I am not even a fan of horses but hearing you talk about this horse with such understanding gives me a new perspective and a new respect for them and yourself as well.

Had a horse like that…started over. Itrainedhorsesforyears. This guy needed fun. Put him in dry lot so every time he saw me he did something interesting. We learned to fetch…started with my dropped glove. I really just trained him like a dog. He turned into a fantastic horse. Short short sessions of interesting activity. Took him out and saddled up. Unsaddledand gota good grooming after not before etc

Sir, I grew up with horses and some old cowboys in the early 70’s. I left that life in 76 when we moved away. I’m 59 now and somehow stumbled on your channel a few months back. My goodness, just listening to your wisdom is flooding me with some wonderful memories. You sound just like those old cowboys who spent years on the hurricane deck of some wonderful broncos, with hours upon hours, to pursue life’s wonders. I really appreciate you posting these videos. Thank you sir!

I would love to see a video series on Tank. Maybe you could do a beginner restart series. You make a great point about holding onto something when it’s tough to accomplish. Nowadays our time is so precious that we let go of the things that are difficult because we always need a quick and convenient.

I’m somewhat of a lost soul right now, im working a job I hate to support a daughter I love and trying to be the best partner to my woman I can be. And I found this channel by chance, all these ‘professional self help’ or ‘I wish I’d knew this…’ etc videos are so insincere and impersonal, but this man speaks with a knowledge, wisdom and sincerity that I find comforting. One can apply what he says to a whole manner of challenges. I’m a subscriber as of this moment

Please keep us updated on Tank's progress, as I'm sure with patience and thoughtfulness you will find the key to unlock all of his potential.

I will be very interested to see how things progress with Tank. Watching him standing quietly waiting on you while you talk makes me feel like he has a lot of potential and wants to figure out how to fit-in. He may be smarter than average and easily bored with routines just like many people. Who knows? I bet he'll let you know in time.

He’s a pretty horse. The way he holds his head, he looks bored. Sounds like he is really gentle too. I’m thinking y’all got a good pet there, and maybe he can become a therapy animal. Horses are intuitive and intelligent; he just needs a purpose and like you said; to find enjoyment in life. Just my thought. Another great session of real life wisdom and perspective on life. Very good boss. ❤

I truly believe Tank is just where he needs to be 🥰…. Such a beautiful thing to learn from each other !

I don't own horses and hardly know anything about them but your videos are amazing and are a breathe of fresh air.

Could not have been stated better... there are multiple lessons in what you explained. I have some experience with horses, but much more experience with dogs. One is much bigger than the other, but there are many similarities between them... at least in my view. Each one is different, just like us, and requires a unique approach from time to time. In the end, time, patience, consistency, and some nurturing along the way leads to bonding and a quality outcome.

This brings to mind several famous horses who were literally given up on and afterwards became famous for their achievements (there are undoubtedly countless more), the common thread was a person took the time to understand the horse and their circumstances in life. Gotta think God gave you both an opportunity. Blessings and Shalom in Him

The attention you give to these horses, and how you alway do your best understanding the other side. If its a horse, or even another person. I have alot of respect for you Dwayne... Keep up the good work. Thank you brother.

Thank you for having the wisdom & the kindness in your❤heart to not give up on 🐎TANK, and give him a fresh start on a brand new journey! 😊

Needed to hear this today. I recently tried to “help” a friend with her situation and I made snap judgements about it and started telling her how she needed to solve it, and it wound up driving her away. I just need to step back and realize I just don’t know and maybe keep my mouth shut and my ears open.

Now we're all rooting for both of you. Please keep us updated Dewayne.

Would love to see more tank! He's got a soft spot in my heart now.. I feel him, life can be boring and if everyone just gave up on us for feeling off, the world would be pretty bleak.. we all need a fresh look on life and tanks lucky to have yous to help him!

My dad has a cancer and never had no time to really teach me about life and stuff. He worked his ass off for me and my family, so I’m thankful to him for being such a strong minded and powerful example for me. But, i’d like to thanks you too. As I said, he never had the time to teach me stuff, I never spoke about girls with him, we never had a beer together, I mean, he was out there making my family prosperous. So thank you for being such a good replacement, such a good voice, I feel like its him speaking, you both are guys with a lot of background, and a lot of valors. Thanks Sir, thanks a lot from a Frenchman trying to dig itself a honorific life so I can show my dad he raised a good guy before he goes. Thanks sir

I really appreciate you old man! I say old as a word of endearment. You remind me so much of my grandpa who died when I was 12. I'd give anything to be able to just sit and talk with him now. You know God says we should look at age as a blessing. Someone with lots of wisdom. This society has made us all obsessed with being 20 forever, but I think the older the better. I'm going to take life advice from a gentlemen like you not a 19 year old or someone trying to stay 19 because I know your words hold way more truth in them. Thank you.

He is perfect!!! I love him so much!! He is sweet!! Please don't sell him, he love you. I love this Channel. It's literally changing my life. Thank you.

Life is painfully difficult right now but it helps me tremendously to watch these videos everyday.

Nothing, but pearls of wisdom here… and I’m all 🦻🦻! Just the way you, Dewayne described Tank I love him already! I have no doubt under your care and patience Tank will be an amazing horse to ride and a joy to everyone for many many years!

Tank Looks Like Such a Kind Soul, I’m Glad That You Both Could Teach Each other Something, animals have a lot of emotions too!

From the UK but lived worked and travelled in the US, southern States mainly. Great talks, the absolute best of that classic southern attitude. Like a tree which will bend in a storm, when another will break its roots by being stiff and resisting. Quality. Honesty. Acceptance. Remarkable and fires my faith in the legendary American spirit. Hard as nails, gentle and polite.

When I am asked medical questions I don't know the answer to, I have learned to speak truth and tell people " I am not a doctor and don't play one on TV." Another great lesson.

I just ❤️ you want to give this horse a chance. It's amazing and I hope the horse has 10 or 20 more years to love his life thank you for sharing

Hi Dwayne.. I rode a penchecking horse at a feedlot one time that was soured... you are right. These can be sensitive introverted horses that will only take what they perceive as drudgery for so long..then they start passively resisting.. the horse I rode had been rode with a correction bit and spurs ( to try and get him to respond snappier).. I started riding him with a rope halter and letting him make choices instead of forcing him to do what needed to be done..in 2 weeks that horse had spark of life showing in him and had stopped balking at every dead steer carcass and stopped trying to crush my foot on fence posts.. sometimes all it takes is looking at it from their perspective..thanks for the great vids and good luck with the horse!

Greay video, I love that you're sharing this with humility. It isso important to get to "I don't know" with horses. I'm a trainer and have a similar horse who I rescued from going for meat last December. Very similar attitude, breed, size, age, but she's a mare. The way the training progressed at first was similar too. Currently she can be trail ridden, but she's slow and not happy about it. Even though she's living a great life on acreage in a small, happy herd of mares, she is generally not happy. I'm starting to feel it's a gut issue. She had parasites, and we're still dealing with that. Ulcers are also common. I think it's a combination of past experience with harsh methods, getting away with a lot, and not being comfortable in her gut, which makes her grumpy generally, and sometimes not interested in moving.

It feels so incredibly real, so genuine true...if all people were like you, the world would look different, neither to the left nor to the right, it would be a humane, decent society❤️

Ok sir you are so spot on. We have to look at things differently. 🐎 Free to live.

Great video! And about the acid reflux, I feel you. I’ve had acid reflux my whole life (I actually thought the amount of reflux I had was normal). A year or so ago, we were chasing down some medical issues, and in a esophagus biopsy they found I had the ever-so-slight beginnings of Barrett’s Esophagus (pre-cancerous condition). Not too much, though. But yeah, I get it. I hope things have gotten better! (I can’t tell, since this is an older video)

Excellent video!!!

Dewayne, I know that a fresh new start and taking an out of the box approach with this special horse will work and the bond will be like you have never had with a horse before. It’s called faith in God to lead you down this fantastic journey. Please keep us posted on how this goes as we want to keep up with this special journey. Thank you.

Amen, Sir. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. God bless.

Dwayne. Been following awhile now. You show the love of Lord in you; but I would describe you as the SOCRATES of the saddle. In Socrates line; " You cannot live better; than seeking to be better". I have no doubt, that you & Tank will have a deep undertaking. This old man really appreciated your dialog tonight.

Dewayne, I only found your channel a day or two ago but I have been having such a wonderful time watching your videos. You are an amazing font of knowledge and wisdom, and are a very well thought out person. Pretty much every video I've watched so far has had some sort of deeper message, or maybe something that makes the internal dialogue start brewing. Watching your videos, I have been taught some genuine, good lessons. Keep on moving man.

Thank you for the video. I once heard, if you always think what you always thought, you will always get what you always got

Finding your channel has been in a way life saving for me, your kind words of advice and guidance have really been helping me maneuver through this very arduous season in my life..... thank you Dewayne

3:32 I am so glad you're not going to sell Tank! He's beautiful. 11:40 so true! Please keep us updated on Tank. Thumbs up!

Very true , we need to be humble and accept our faults and work on them if need be ,

Love your advice Dewayne. always solid.

Well said, it's much harder to say when your wrong from when you aren't. Also my dad smoked for many years and when the Dr. or friends would say you should stop smoking for the various reasons he would reply I do it cause I like it. He enjoyed smoking and irrespective of its impact he wanted to do what he enjoyed...last he checked it was legal......just keep doing what you enjoy!!!

Thank you for your philosophy this morning. I needed to hear this. 🙏

Just wanted to share something I learned recently about high blood pressure. Found out from a medical doctor with a natural health degree that low potassium and/or low electrolytes can cause high blood pressure. Take potassium in the form of potassium citrate to lower high blood pressure. It's even better if you take electrolytes with it because if you only take the potassium, it can unbalance your potassium salt and magnesium levels after a while. The best form of electrolytes is Dr Berg's electrolyte powder. Also a pounding heartbeat is often caused by a B1 deficiency. Take vitamin B1 in the form of non fortified nutritional yeast if you have this issue and it will clear it up within a couple of minutes. You will need anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon. I had been having this problem for years and was always given medication that had side effects until I was told the root cause of blood pressure which is a lack of eating plenty of vegetables and leafy greens.

oh Dwayne ,, you hit the exact point which i’m suffering from it .. a snap judgment ! i’m REALLY feeling comfortable of your honest , decent and straight forward words 🌟 your new friend from kuwait .

this channel has became one of my favorites to watch

Just found your channel today! Really love the content so far! I grew up on the outskirts of St. Louis MO, in the country but not on a farm or ranch or anything. More like trailer park and shell gas station type country rather than cowboy country. Anyway, my dream is to own my own ranch one day, but obviously I have a whole lot to learn. So, I appreciate the knowledge you're sharing on your channel!

Found your channel a week or so ago. I’m all about it, loving the content and the wise words. 👍 our wisdom, knowledge and maturity never stops growing.

Love this channel.❤

Just a suggestion-(as I have had to think way outside of the box with many horses)-try to learn how to get him to join up at liberty in an area you can ask him to go around and over obstacles when you ask from a distance first and show him how little pressure can be used and then have him go with you through this somewhat an obstacle course with you as a leader-get him to feel his job is to be with you and lead--this will keep boredom down-then ride him as light as possible out in the open away from other horses--as for easy tasks in riding-if he will not keep his gait then get him to move his feet in a way that is fairly difficult and unwanted by him--then rest him and ask again your original task--patience is key-but you must be a leader-assertive yes-but not aggressive--he is built for ranch work-so find ranch type things to do-he may show you he is a lot quicker on his feet than you realize-I would also try some bare back riding if you are up for it-in an open area where he thinks he is free

I have a horse just like this. And this resonated with him and my life! Thank you.

This channel is going parabolic great work Dwayne.

Enjoy having fun with Tank! 💚🐎 Thank you for the video

This video hit deep man and I really needed to here this.

Wonderful as always. Thanks Dwayne

Great! Thank you for the exemple.

Your story is amazing,and your purpose is life is to reach so many of us out here in the world with this wonderful tool called the internet,God bless you in your journey may we have many more years of your wisdom 💯🙏💞

I love what you are doing with this horse. Time will tell you. Keep up the good work.

dam I really needed all your words of wisdoms !!!!!

Thank you for relating working with horses to life. It really helps to understand things ina different way.

Such a beautiful video Love the humanity & compassion

Another good message, thanks Dewayne

Hey Dwayne, thanks for keeping it real and humble

LOVE what you're doing for your horse!!!!

Love your insight and council your videos help my day to day with life your examples are calm and soft spoken easy to hear. Thank u buddy👍

My uncle owns Tank now and he’s doing great! we love him, he’s just stubborn and I think he always will be❤😂

Tank is very relatable. Thank you for determining that you will work to figure him out. He is blessed by that attitude.

Really really enjoyed this wisdom.

Always great advice. Appreciate it.

I really like how you expressed your thoughts in this video, really insightful

I hope you continue to update us with you and Tanks progress.

I'd say offhand that Tank is pretty good at standing there and looking good. Maybe he could model horse blankets or something.

I really enjoy your videos. Lots of good info learned the hard way. My last resort with Tank would be take him out on his own for a couple of days and let him do his thing. Maybe needs to get away from the crowd to have fun on his own. Thanks Dwayne.

Thanks Dwayne good lesson in this video. Take care my brother God bless

Love hearing health stories and how we overcome it. Take care and God bless 🤙

All I can say the green scenery around you is beautiful! New subscriber…love the channel!

You just made me smile, Dewayne. You are a good man! (And, teacher).

I'm happy your going to do that. It will be an rewarding experience for the both of you.

This the way of life, making mistake and trying to improve every time. You can do 99 mistake on 100 but 1 good shot will be the best of your life. congrat on not giving up on Tank

Greetings from Costa Rica! Thank you for caring and sharing.

Thank you Dewayne for the wisdom you relate in your videos. I began watching various videos on your channel only a few weeks ago. Finding that the content helps ease some of the anxieties that have crept in over the past few years. I will continue to tune in and listen to what you have to say. Much appreciated. Looking forward to see how Tank does in the near future. JV.

I love to hear such a wise leader mr.Dewayne ! God bless you mr.!

That's a very deep thought right there. Thanks Dewayne!

So true and well said. Excellent.

Thank you so much for this, Dewayne. I recently had to say goodbye to some close friends of mine. I realized I was trying to convince myself that we got along, but it always felt tense and weird around them. I just didn't mesh. I'm going to send them this video because this is exactly how I'm feeling. Thanks so much and God bless.

"TANKS" for not selling him and for all of your videos! You'll both feel great in Wyoming. It is the 2nd happiest, healthiest state in the USA.

Every time I watch one of your videos is the same to get a punch in the stomach. Keep doing this, we need wise men around.

Good luck in your journey I’m sure it will turn out well

That was a smooth encircling of the wagons

Thank you Mr sir for sharing. I really needed this. It is a lesson I have learned from. :)

The things you said about that horse gave me goosebumps. You are a great man.

Dwayne I don’t comment much but I really like your channel and approach in life.I am a pastor married m high school sweet heart and we have 3 wounderful adult daughters and one granddaughter and I AM ONLY 45 but I can tell you this world needs a lot of this common sense living. I don’t much about horses but I believe you have a lot of wisdom to share. So I want to encourage you to keep up with the cigar talks or (whatever you want to call them ) And thank you.

He loves the sound of your voice!

Hank is a handsome horse! I'm glad that you came across my videos, especially the one with you and your wife, talking about marriage. Ya'll are awesome!

I like this video! Subscribed. Sometimes you need more information! Great that you got this horse to learn from.

Love your videos keep them coming good job
