Dawayne, Ned 29 year old young father here. I’m sitting out the front of work about to go in, left my coal mining job to start a trade- plumbing, not enjoying it the most but doing what I have to, to set up my family… it’s hard but worth it. have a 1 year old son and a beautiful wife- I lost my father two years ago, I’ve missed talks with him, he guided me a lot. These talks from you I can hear my father through your words, and I feel a little less alone. Thanks mate!

@@dgilroy26 I’m 24 and thinking about how far my career is gonna take me in the railroad. It’s great money but politics and policy as well as the insane pleasing of the shareholders is killing the railroads.

Your wisdom is so profound. And this is coming from a tattooed girl with dread locks, with a huge dog, 2 cats, who people judge all the time, until they realize what kind of person i am. Im a single mother, with a 13 yr old severly autistic son, whose father is MIA, and its ok. I nearly died in a car accident in 2017, fractured my spine and neck, and walked away 23 days later. I have a masters degree, and i dont care. Im more educated than all of the state welfare workers who dictate my life and treat me horribly. Things change when i tell them all of the letters i earned behind my name And i struggle. I really really struggle. Alot. I was a very successful Emergency Room therapist for 20 yrs. Now i pick up dog poop to earn money to pay for my autistic sons horse lessons. I take care of a womans house and cats, who is a literally rocket scientist, and I have no shame. Why? Because i hustle. Because i take care of my people. If a man showed up for me and my son? I would make him breakfast every morning. Id pack his lunch. Id wash his clothes. Id be like i will be your badass bitch. What you need? I am 100% ok being alone. I've raised my son all by myself. I've honestly never met a man who isn't either scared of me, or who isn't trying to manipulate me to get thier needs met in emotionally unhealthy ways. No man is responsible for my situation. Men love me for the same reasons they end up fearing me. I'm the safest place a man could be. I used to be an athlete who would walk by men and have them say "DAMN." But my body died in a car accident, and eventhough I ran a 5k a year after, have a significant spinal cord injury, raise a severely autistic 13 yr old son by myself, and have never looked to a man to take care of me, for some reason men are intimidated me and want to be my rescuing hero. I don't need a hero. I need a man who is as brave as me.

Everyone needs a inner Duane in their life. Seriously, I can listen to this cowboy all day long. Came across this channel by accident and am working my way through all the previous vids. What a stand up guy. Thank you sir.

I'm a regular guy don't got a horse don't own land. The only thing I have in common with Dewayne is that I wear cowboy boots and that I enjoy cigars. The amount of joy and value I get from his videos I can't put into words.

I’ll tell you what. I’m not a horseman but I love sitting down and listening to you sir. It’s kind of my motivation. The little kick in the ass we all need to stay focused and moving in the right direction. Thank you for your wisdom and time.

anyone else say "hi dwayne" after he says hi?

Thank you, Dewayne for your insights into horse training. I used to subscribe to the thought that "I'm the cowboy and you're the horse, so I get to drive", and then wondered why my mare and I never really bonded and became partners on the trail. Your talks have helped me to understand that if I want my horse to be my partner, then I have to listen to what she is telling me and give her a voice in what we do while still achieving the same outcome. It's working, and I'm calmer and she's calmer, and we are BOTH having more fun!

For starters, I greatly appreciate you taking your wife to the theater. Your YT channel is growing very quickly, and I am glad to see it. Wisdom is a light that should not be hidden. All the best.

and another excellent video! I preach often to not push them so far over threshhold that they feel the need to escape! That doesn't mean you don't challenge them. It means you don't teach them to have bad reactions to pressure and/or fear it. I think that goes along well with "set them up to succeed". I also often say slow and steady wins the race. Little by little they get broke - without anxiety :) I love the analogy of sabotaging the calm. So true!!

I can't believe that I just came across your channel to see one video about cigars and I've ended up watching most of your content - it's super cool to see the real Cowboy in his daily routine, getting information about hat etiquette, how to make a breakfast on fire, coffee, etc. Thank you Dwayne for that. Greetings from Sopot, Poland ( I think I'm the only one of your subscribers from Poland :D ) Marcin

DeWayne you quoted Woodrow from Lonesome Dove in this video. My faborite quote from Gus that went under the radar in that movie was. "What's good for me, may not be good for the weak minded."

Love the way you pause to take a toke off your cigar..love it. You’re not in a hurry.

You are a breath of fresh air in a troubled Society. Thank you for your positive words.

What a breath of fresh air you are, sir. Good to know you're out here talking sense. I'm a new subscriber, and I figure I'll stick around a good while. God prosper you in all your ways.

Sweet, when she did See The Light.about those cattle. A good discussion! Happy Birthday Mama

Love that line too, captian Woodrow Call was a fantastic character. I don't know if such a man ever existed but if not there ought to have.

Happy birthday, Deanna!! 🎉 hope you enjoy the theatre, I love Sound of Music too 😊

Hope you all have a lovely time watching Sound of Music🌺🌺🌺. Happy bday momma.

Lots of wisdom packed into this video. It reminds me of the saying, "You can lead a horse to water....". You do a lot of leading. The wise ones will drink.

I hadn't ridden in almost 50 years. My wife (Olympic level rider) found me a horse. the horse makes my riding look good (I grew up riding western. I'm having to learn English) Tomorrow we go for our first trail ride. It's going to be fun.(we are newlyweds both of us lost a spouse to cancer)

They’ll setback against that lead rope.We had a blue-blood $30,000.00 bbl horse mare on a ranch I worked at. The owner hired a young girl to keep her in shape.She tied her to a horse shoe we had welded to the outside of the tack room door,something spooked her,.& she set back on a concrete floor and when she slipped,she went forward and knocked her 2 Top center teethe out.

First, Happy Birthday to Momma...Second I don't usually comment much but I feel like i need to say thank you. I love your life advice, its helped me a lot, not only in life my personal relationships, i love the horse knowledge that you share, i love that you re honest and raw with us, makes me know that if i do the work things will work out. I just wanted you to know that there is more than just nasty ppl around here and that your videos mean something to a lot of folks! You've changed my life for the better and i cant thank you guys enough, hope to meet yall one day. Until then God Bless you and Momma both!!

"Set yourself up to succeed." Wise advice. "Just delete them!" Even wiser! Lol, Love it!!!

I am about to turn 16 years old and I sit and think about planning my future. I write down different jobs, look up what payments I will be able to afford with that job, Look up the company of the places to see if they are located in other places I would like to live. The crazy thing is, is that I am almost 16 years old about to be a sophomore in Highschool, And I don't see anyone else doing what I am doing. I went from sitting around all day everyday playing video games, to getting up and doing things productive to set me up for success. Most people will sit there and tell me that I am just 16 and I need to live my life this way and do things this way, But they don't understand that while they are worried about what I am doing , and are worried about telling me the way I should do things differently their way, they are getting weaker themselves. While they are talking and talking about the way I do things, and how they don't like it because they are most likely jealous and wishing it was them, they are wasting time. Wasting time. They could be trying to better themself, but instead they can't because they are to worried about someone else. And that is a huge problem in the world today.

Thank you, Dewaine!

I'll pay to walk that ranch and smoke a cigar with Dewayne and talk life and philosophy 👍🏿

One of your best videos yet. Protect that calm!!!!!!

This man must be protected at all costs. A dying breed and America needs all of the Dewayne's she can get.

Duane is like having a long distance man cave neighbor…at first all I wanted to do is challenge his perspective. But I could not stop tuning in…I came around to just having an open ear and just listening…if I didn’t see eye to eye…I did begin to see man to man. When something rubs me wrong, I need to be quiet, examine what it is that is creating the annoyance and settle it out within myself. I don’t have to like everything at a buffet, but if I take the time to try new things they might not taste good, but they might just be the nourishment I need. So I continue to listen and sample Duane’s buffet…and I tried Mama’s biscuit recipe…be careful where you light your pit if the grass is not high and dry !👍

Great job! My rule is that I never go near a horse to train if I'm upset and on the negative side; in no position to set the horse up for success.

I’m a dad of a 31 year old son, when we were raising him I was pretty tough on him. I’m a Gulf War veteran and I knew I needed to teach him that there is no free meal. He had the usual teenage resentment to me but I always told him I loved him. He started college and he partied and had a good ole time, he failed a couple of classes so I told him that I’m not paying my hard earned money for him to waste. He decided he would join the Marines, after boot camp and infantry training he came home for a few days. He came to me and said he understood why I was tough on him. I explained that I was trying to teach him that I was wanted he to be set up to succeed. He is now very successful and at an older age he appreciates everything I was trying to teach him. Thank you so much for your videos. I really enjoy watching you and listening to your thoughts. Thanks, Steve.

I don’t have a tv so we get lot done around here. My phone plays KZread while it’s plugged in in my kitchen so I can watch you and bake n cook and clean!

Good morning, I pray you and momma are doing well. I would like to thank you for starting your channel and for what you do. My grandfather and my dad raised and worked mules on their farm in Fountain Run KY, and showed their mules at state and local fair's so I have always loved Horses, Mules. But unfortunately for me I was born in 1970 which was to late in their life and by the time I was old enough to get involved, my grandparents had were in bad health and had to sell all of their livestock. With the economy of the 70's my dad found himself trucking which means long hours, so I never got the chance to have horses But, thanks to you and momma, I get to live vicariously through you. May God bless you and your family! Tracy Stephens Shepherdsville KY

Dwayne I have written before, but just want to say again how much I enjoy your show. I have never been on a horse, but love the cowboy way of life, love western history to. My favorite movie of all times is Lonesome Dove "I hate rude behavior in a man! won't tolerate it! love all of Larry McMurtry's western books and movies. Hope you are reading the books as well as watching the movies, lots of stuff in them thats not in the movies. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watchin. Bob in Concord NC, Home of J.B.

I can't imagine someone being negative to you or your talks they're so beneficial to me and alot of people!

Dwayne - respectfully, if you always set your horse up for success, how does it learn to deal with failure? I love your story where that filly locks onto the cow work. She all of a sudden forgot the tall grass tickeling her belly, and the newness of it all because her attention was entirely taken by the cow work. That is up lifting. I always ascribed to the "Make the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult" way of horse training, that way the horse learns that if it chooses the wrong way, things are quite unpleasant for it. If the horse makes a mistake, and finds that it is pretty unpleasant, maybe it will realize at some point not to do THAT anymore!

Thank you for the question, and it is a good question. Setting your horse up to succeed does not mean that they will succeed. If I had taken her out to work cattle later after more time spent with her where she was more settled and more self-assured she would have still had the opportunity to be introduced to cattle. Setting them up to succeed does not mean you take away any chance for failure it just means that you make failure more difficult and success more sure.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAMA!!! Dewayne, I don't have nearly the horse experience that you have and am happy to sit at the feet of a master such as yourself at every opportunity I can. Some years ago, I can't remember if I got this from a book I read by Monty Roberts or John Lyons or maybe some trainer or clinician I know, but the gist of the comment was to know your horse, break down whatever was needed to be learned to its smallest parts, and to make whatever we want them to do easier and more pleasurable than them doing whatever they want to do. Give them an easy way to achieve the desired goal and make the undesirable as hard as possible and hopefully less pleasant to do, which all echoes your wisdom to set our horses (and ourselves) up for success. I can relate to your experience with your filly. Again, I don't have nearly your horse experience, but after working around and riding upwards of two hundred horses in my life, I have gotten good enough to just "know" what I'm sitting on within seconds to minutes of observing their behavior. Which isn't to say that I can't be surprised, but in general, if I'm working or riding a new horse, I can just get a feel for that animal immediately. One time I was helping out this older (age 74) man who was a Standardbred owner and driver with and ran a Jewish camp trail riding herd he had. We had just about closed the adult camp weekend and were putting the horses away when some adult camper there for the Labor Day vacation weekend said that he wanted to go on one last trail ride. I wasn't inclined to do it, but my friend, this old man, said to me to ride his Appaloosa gelding out on this trail ride and have this other guy on this other horse who was about as motivated to go out on trail as a wooden post. Long story short, the Appaloosa gelding gave me a the "hairy eyeball" as I walked up to him and I just knew that this bastard was going to do something unpleasant. Sure enough, the SOB reared up on me halfway through the trail ride and dumped me on my entire right side next to a wire fence line of an open pasture while I was trying to help this novice rider who couldn't turn his horse to save his life to follow behind me. The Appy dropped to his butt after dumping me, sitting on my legs (which were wrapped in carbon fiber knee braces from old knee injuries), and then got up and bolted for the trees back to the barn. Annoyed with myself for letting this happen and being grateful I wasn't hurt, I told the other fellow to get off his horse as he was unsafe up there by himself though his horse stood there like a post while I got dumped right next to him. Meanwhile, I hoped the owner of the Appaloosa wouldn't get nervous wondering what happened to me and this rider when the horse returned back to the barn. Well, I sure was surprised when we got to the edge of the woods and there just 30 feet down the trail was this Appy with the guiltiest look on his face saying "Sorry about that." He was just standing there with his head over his shoulder looking back at me. I had never seen a horse with a guilty look before. I wasn't about to get on this horse again and risk getting dumped on a rocky trail, so I gathered him up, and gave the other fellow back his horse and we walked back to the barn. I later learned that night from the Appy's owner that this SOB was a known spooker, would turn on his heels trying to dump his rider and run, and also ran my friend's older brother (76) into the trees banging his brother's knees up badly. Sorry for the long story, but it's just to point out that it's important to understand what we're dealing with when we work with a horse's mind. And it's only through time and experience with a lot of horses that we'll ever learn exactly what to do in a given situation.

And of those Appaloosas I've worked around or ridden, at least one ran away with me and one dumped me (the one in the above story). Yeah, as nice as they look, they are definitely a "thinking person's horse." I thought Arabians were a "thinking person's horse", but I think Appaloosas are that much more so.

Its encouraging listening to a man talk. Seems like a lot of people these days are out for attention rather than knowing who they are and being that.

Thank you for your wisdom sir.

I'm going to work harder at setting him up to succeed. My trainer is allot like you what I would classify you guys as cowboy trainers. I don't want to give up on this Mustang he is a great horse. My trainer loves him. The problem is all me. I think your message will help me. Thanks

My husband shared your video with me and I’m really thankful for the wonderful tips! The stuff about letting the horses graze when not hobbled is something I needed to hear. Took probably 3 times of me letting my new 3 year old graze while I was doing this and that and now he wants to try when I am riding. So now we must relearn we’re both not doing that! When you talked about removing the negativity, also a good reminder! Thank You 🙏🏻
