The Higher Education of Prieto 

Prieto has a really good temperament. Thank you for sharing this video. Laura

Sure is a good minded boy. Great job Pat

Loved every bit of that, especially the "birthday cake looks like a brushfire" part.

Nice job

Such a great video, as they all are. Your patience and wisdom is something I can watch over and over on any horse you are working with. I also enjoy your sense of humor and the little history lessons. Thank you for enjoying this enough to keep 'em coming.

I have maybe 100 videos and several thousand of hours on You Tube watching horseman in all disciplines. Most are pretty talented but yoe are exceptional. Thanks for the clear teaching and showing how to do it in a way almost anyone an understand.

Thanks 👌 Pat

Thanks Pat! Another million dollar lesson! I so appreciate what you are teaching.. wish I was taught this years ago! Hope you realize how much you are teaching and helping the people & horses.. Thank you.. YOU are the “Diamond In The Ruff”! So glad I found you!

My birthday cake looks like a brush fire. I am 5'6"" and my Hancock blue roan gelding is nearly 16 hands. I usually get on him from a fence, pile of rocks, or park him in a ditch or on the lower side of a hill from me. On flat ground it's a feat for me to get on him, but I still can. I appreciate the stretching tip and I'm going to work on that! Thanks for your great videos! Keep up the good work!

Oh well said about twisted bits. Love that you see horse's potential. You're a fine horseman, you have the best character to work horses.

Dad told me, "an expert is tough to find but instantly recognized." Thanks for sharing your expertise.

My heroes have Always been cowboys and you' re one of them!

" brush fire " , yeah my last birthday there was one of those fire fighter planes from California and a whole squad of jumpers come racing to my party ! 😊 😉 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

Awesome

Love the way you ❤explain your teachings Pat thank you 🙏

👍👍 He seems to have a nice, quiet mind, yes.

Thanks for part about stretch out. Combine the brush fire (70 yrs), bad shoulder & wife's good cooking & i needed that idea.

When you posted that video "three horses and a mule," Prieto was the one who caught my eye! I could s he was a "diamond in the rough!" He was the sort of horse I tended to pick out when I was a youngster. The other two 52 and Chavela are nice too, but Prieto, has what it takes to make a really nice horse! I used to ride a buckskin paint mare who was alot like that, she loved to travel yet, she could stand still when needed.

Thanks Pat and Deb, I will be watching the transformation of this horse intently. I would never have believed it possible to take a six year old ewe necked horse and have him break at the poll.

I'm learning so much from your videos from horsemanship to roping! Thank you for all you do!!!!!

Being from Wyoming, I can tell you Pat is absolutely accurate with his statement @ 5:50. This morning it is 12 degrees in Cody and about 6 inches of snow on the ground. Thanks Pat and Deb, as always, for the great content!

Another great video. I have learned a lot from your videos from roping to riding and training. And yes I'm one of those with a brush fire Birthday cake 🤣

Great stuff as usual, like watching PBS for horseman ship...

Watched this several times. Great explanation about collection and teaching it. Thanks Linda in Okla.

Very good video, he'll be so much more comfortable too, and looks great when he bridles up.

Thank you for sharing old traditions 🙏 Sooo many good and useful videos 🙏 You combine good old ways of working with horses and new ways of teaching us people 👏 I live in Europe (Slovenia) and I come to California almost every year to learn from my friend Jeremy Dunn. I hope we will meet one day so I can thank you in person 🙏🙏🙏

Well, I don't think I can give another compliment that hasn't been already given! Thank you, Deb and Pat, for these videos. Not only did my cake look like a brush fire but my memory went with everything else so where do I put my notebook from all the notes I've taken! :) Don't stop the videos you are so needed.

Mr. Puckett thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. I am always trying to lean more about making myself a better hand/horsemen. You have taught me several things and I appreciate it. Joshua, Raton, New Mexico

Youre right about Wyoming! It's snowing, blowing and heading for below zero as we speak!

Very helpful video. I am looking forward to working with my young mare who is very similarly built. I was just discussing with a friend the other day as to how I could get her to muscle up on her neck and carry herself properly. You have answered this for me. Thank you.

Sir ... you are just splendid to watch & listen to ...peaceful pleasant patient & funny as all get out ... I just loved the birthday cake like a brushfire ! Thanks for showing us how to park the horse for mounting . Sending you thanks & best regards all the way fr sunny Spain , where I live ... I ride a Lusitano up in the mountains ... have been practicing yr horsemanship ... keep those videos going , you are amazing ! Gracias 😊 Gracias 🙏🏻

you two are doing a great job connecting people with your knowledge i have watched all your videos. ever since i attended a clinic in upstate ny i always pass my horse between me and a fence or barn wall before we ride and it seems to turn my horse on to what im asking of her cant wait for next vid

Brilliant. A bush fire hahaha...

These videos you two make are absolutely amazing!!! I watch them over and over again constantly. Do you all ever travel to Florida? Thank you so much for everything you do. 🐴💖

I am so grateful for you helping people learn to help their horses. Could you explain over bridling? I think I know. But want to be sure. Amazing video

Sure Deb will tell Pat that is a caveson nose band and not a drop nose band. I use a Monte Foreman drop nose band. Respectable yours, Shelia. ☺️. Thank you for you wonderful education. Please keep it coming.

👍

Hi, what a wealth of knowledge. Question, I know you referenced the size of the bit being a bit larger so as to act as a pre-cue. Wondering, would if the addition of slobber straps would compliment this concept? Thank you for sharing this information!

thanks for your efforts Pat & Deb I enjoy watching knowledgeable horsemanship and your approach is very good, entertaining - especially your one liners, and full of great tips. Much appreciated, from an old cow hand in the hinterland north west of Sydney Aust.

Excellent video! I am in AZ and bought a gelding from the O RO Ranch in Prescott. Rojo and Prieto are built the same with the plank neck. I have gone back to doing snaffle work with Rojo but was considering doing bosal work instead. Can I ask why you did not put Prieto into a bosal before doing the snaffle work? Thank you. Keep the videos coming!

Thanks Pat and Deb! Matt will be using that ax for the stiff water up here in Idaho this week too. Can you tell us about "salting the bit" please?

No grass ..you aren't kidding! I have wondered about this since I started watching ( from New Zealand)..a LOT of hay/ hard feed??

Whoever josh is, I'm an hour and half north of kc. Lol

it is a pleasure to learn from someone with experience that has produced practical knowledge. for years i have soaked up everything i could find on horsemanship and horse training. until now the only real learning i've gotten has been from the horses, and god forgive me for the ones to whom i didn't present myself correctly. thankyou both, for these powerful gifts to our horses and the gunsels that own them. i've never seen the salt trick. do you salt the snaffle too?

Deb, is there any way Pat could give us some tips and tricks for handling large horses for those of us who are shorter in stature (and a little older)? My boy doesn't like to put his head down for grooming, haltering and especially bridling. He does stand quite well for saddling but I'm having difficulties getting him to 'stretch' as I'm a little short for pulling and pushing on the saddle AND bumping the back of his hooves. Any and all ideas are welcome and thank you in advance.

looks like a Nevada big circle horse

Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!! I live in a small town in the southern part of Sweden. Do anyone know If I can buy this bit in Sweden?? Hugs from Anna 😊🤗🇸🇪🇸🇪

Where can I buy your snaffle bit? I’m in Canada.

Prieto is the color of the horse in Spanish

Why do ya get a horse to stretch out be for you get on him ?

Mi nombre es Sebastián vivo en Inglaterra me gustaria trabajar para gratis solo comida y cama

So,Let me change outfits…..so dry.so funny

Hey Pat and Deb! How come Prieto will get a half-breed instead of something like a Sliester? - Benard

the jaw flexions used throughout the centuries are spelled out here in two chapters: 1. lateral 2. direct. i think the page numbers are 96-108 and 44-65. you've got most things right but some of your terms' definitions are just a hair off and getting them squared away will work wonders. May I send you the horsemens' glossary? archive.org/details/breakingriding00fill

Please Pat Shorten it up Im a trainer ok and love your take but don’t have time for a 30 min clip ☮️
