the man who never fell has no glory the
man who fell and got back up that's
where his glory is the man who fell 20
times and got up 21 times that man has
even greater glory wow everything in
life that has any value is balance
there's a balance there has to be a
balance what is the point of being a
masculine manly man if you're a stupid
man and and but what is the point of
being a brilliant studied educated whatever
whatever
uh if you're weakling horsemanship and
raising children both is like holding a
soap wait I suck at that hold on I hope

yeah welcome to the chasing mountains
podcast we are in a different location
today than usual we look a little
different we're here at Dry Creek
Wrangler School in beautiful Wana
Wyoming just outside of Sheridan we've
come a long way to visit with our friend
Dwayne yep couple days to drive here a
couple of days to get here if you spend
any time at all on YouTube Instagram Tik
Tok you have seen this man you have seen
his content a lot of wisdom resonating
with uh you know I think young men in
particular um but just kind of everybody
he's got some some uh wisdom and a whole
lot of experience uh that he's shared
with the world and has really kind of
blown up and uh the the last year too
right uh yeah um it's blown up mostly in
the last year it's the biggest year and
a half it's been the biggest jump
600,000 Plus on YouTube right 620
620,000 today wgat
congratulations we are of those who
believe that by the end of the year
you'll have a million subscribers and
but I want to go back to the beginning
when you posted your first video number
one what was it about and what did you
expect views wise or what did you expect
at all
I don't remember which video was the
first one exactly but it was I had two
things that um I wanted to I wanted to
do I love wrangling which is where
mostly young people these days take
folks out on dude ranches and take them
horseback riding you know in strings and
I've been doing that for years and it's
it's weird but I love it it's one of
those things you'd think I wouldn't but
I do and uh but there just wasn't a
whole lot out there to help young people
who are wanting to go into that life I
mean I there wasn't anybody to teach me
I did everything by trial and error so I
wanted to start putting videos out to
help them and the other thing was I just
I wanted to
to
provide a legacy for my grandkids just
something you know when I'm gone my
grandkids could say hey that's that's
grumpa you know leave something and we
thought you know if we get 200 subscri
subcribers we're going to hit the big
time there was no such thought of
monetizing or I mean I didn't even know
that was a thing when we first started
you didn't at all no no wow um so that
wasn't a concept building the channel
that none of that was what we were
trying to do it was for Heritage so your
kids could know who you were your
grandkids 200 subscribers was success to
you yeah and here we are 2 years later 600
600
20,000 people what's going through your
mind the first time a videoos
skyrocketing what did I do
wrong what what's going I didn't I
didn't understand it I I didn't know how
it worked I didn't understand and I
still don't all I didn't understand
algorithm I didn't understand this I I
didn't understand any of it what video
was it you know I think the first one
that went
big for us was like just the simple one
we did maybe campfire cooking outside or
making a pot of coffee on a campfire I
think those were the one of the first
ones that really took off dude why are
people watching in the millions and on
those Tik toks tens of millions so like
why is it resonating with the young I
think that this shallow modern uh media
driven Society I think there's a lot of
young people that have woke up and
realized that this is empty and there's
nothing real in it
uh the people aren't real I mean you
know there's somebody and you guys
probably from your background you know
somebody's doing their hair somebody's
doing their makeup somebody's writing
their script you know it's all green
screen and wires and there's nothing
real and uh and they look around and
there's nothing real in their life you
know and so the only thing that I think
that we've offered is just realness it's
just Simplicity in a very complex society
society
in a very loud Society in a very shallow
flashy Society just Simplicity and
realness I mean that's the only thing
that's what I figure I I feel it's the
same way and one of the things that I
know Dave and I were wondering is when
you started the channel what were people
telling you CU we know we we've worked
in YouTube for many years we know what
everybody says you have to be to be
successful right um what's your thoughts
on that like what did people tell you
you're doing wrong oh oh yeah um I was
supposed to do all this complex stuff
and these cuts and music and you know
and be Lively and be this and be that
and I'm like if that's you know if
that's what I have to do to be
successful then I won't be successful
because I mean from the very beginning I
didn't if this makes sense I didn't
start this with the goal of being
successful you know that's probably why
it was successful you know you see a a
lot of you see a lot of YouTube content
that to me it's like they didn't really
have a heart for anything they're just
I'm going to be a YouTube Star so what
do I need to do to be a YouTube star and
so they they create a
Persona and so they you know and they
chase that down and my wife and I that's
not what we were about we're like we we
don't we don't care about it you feel
like authenticity is so valuable right
now because of a world of fake the world
is propped up like you said it's all
wires and makeup and it's just it
doesn't feel real when I first saw your
video and I mentioned you this before I
was like wait is this is this guy real
like is this a real cowboy is this wait
is this scripted like this stuff is
hitting hard and really successful then
I started digging in I was like this guy
is has a real Wrangler school like this
is an actual cowboy and I got a hold of
Dave and I was like hey man we got to go
talk to this guy like I think he's like
a a legit Cowboy cuz I I I grew up
around around guys like you where it's
just like um like they mean what they
say and they say what they mean and if
they say they're going to be there and
they're they're going to be there rain
or shine or snow and I I and then I
started looking at the actual views and
the success of the channel and I was
like this is this is this is incredible
um but it goes back that this is an
actual Wrangler school can you can you
just like elaborate like tell me about
this place well
so it's a school and I started the base
Foundation dream for my wife and I with
the school is we want a means for young
people who are like we're not buying
into you've got to go get $100,000
College loan if you want to do that
that's fine you know we're not going to
go get a college loan and then get a
degree and then wind up in a cubicle and
have a job that we hate um it wanted to
provide a means for people and it's not
just been young people who if they want
to actually Chase and follow their dream
uh they can first go to somebody who's
had a lot of experience and just teach
them the basics of horsemanship the
basics of wrangling the basics of all
that I mean you can only teach so much
in a week but um I fit 30 years of
experience into a week here as much as I
can wow and so we've had last year was
the first year this year is our second
year and we've had a number of students
that they're out working on uh oh so
they they graduated and they're on they
spent a week here and went and and got a
job wrangling doing well I got one
working for a Outfitter up in idah Hope
elk hunting outfitter and I got some
that are working on dude ranches
wrangling dudes and so w we're uh we're
accomplishing what we set out to do we
had a young couple come through last year
year
and uh they came through went through
the school together went home quit their
job sold everything came out west got a
job together wrangling on a ranch and
they're absolutely just in heaven that's
what my wife's going to try to talk to
what's that what's that life like for
people that are kind of uninitiated to
this whole this whole world of cowboys
and Wranglers and horsemanship I mean
how would you describe in in kind of a
nutshell which maybe is really difficult
to do but like what for for someone
that's just never been exposed to it I
mean is it like the movies like what
what is that like no it's not like the
movies so John Wayne was a lie are you
John Wayne wasn't a Wrangler dang it
that's true yeah so wrangling now
there's there's
cowboying and I have Cowboy but I'm
not I've worked on a number of cattle
ranches but I don't consider myself a
cowboy I'm a terrible Roper you know and
and so there's but there's cowboying
there's uh wrangling and there's packing
which is three different things
cowboying is just working cattle it's
cattle wrangling is is horses now as
it's used most today and understood most
today these are the folks who take care
of horses and then take guests who want
to go on horse back ride and take them
out and guide them and take care of the
guests and take care of the um the
horses and then a packer is someone who
works normally in the mountains and so
when hunters or whoever whatever the
situation is come in they have mules
with pack saddles they put all the gear
all the camping gear all the supplies on
these mules and so they're transport up
in the mountains and and and then
transport like if they get game elk or
whatever transport it back out so
there's three different things there so
a Wrangler normally they work on a ranch
it's usually young people um and on a on
a Guest Ranch and so you get up over the
morning and you've got to feed the
horses so the horses have a chance to
eat before they go to work and uh so it
varies but so you'll feed the horses
then you'll go get your breakfast while
the horses are eating and then you'll
come out and they'll tell you your first
ride how many people you got going out
and so you'll go catch that many horses
and start saddling them uh and then when
the guest start showing up you know
you're told okay these guys they're
going on two 2 hours or 3 hours or 4
hours and so you get them on the horses
and a good
Wrangler knows how to pair the guest
with with the right horse and put the
right horses in line uh with each other
and then just they go out and try to
keep everybody alive out there and
having fun uh wrangling is most people
think of of it as a horse job it's not
um and that's where a a lot of the
Wranglers that don't succeed that's
where they don't succeed it's it's a
people job if you can't communicate with
people if you can't deal with people if
you can't handle people um then uh you
won't do well at wrangling uh so it's my
I've said here in the class several
times the worst Wranglers I've ever
worked with were
Cowboys wow now you would think that
these are the folks with the most uh
horse experience so they make the best
stranglers but they're the worst with
people so Cowboys are some make some of
the worst Wranglers because just they're
not good with people yeah yeah I mean
you know I'm painting with a broad brush
sure but yeah they they don't do the
people part well and you know it's it's
the people who pay to go on the ride
people come here they come stay a week
they come stay in this beautiful house
it's from what year was it 1898 right
1898 22in thick rock walls yeah um
basically it's a bomb shelter so the the
location is breathtaking I rolled up I
think the first thing was like I'm
jealous I want to live here
too um but people can experience not
just here's how you throw on a saddle
but it's like taking you almost back in
time well it's so we're not one thing
that we make sure that folks understand
if they want to come out to the school
um we're not a writing
School uh it's a horsemanship school so
there are a lot of class that are not on
Horseback because there's a lot of
people who have spent a lot of years on
Horseback and they don't know anything
about horses cuz you don't learn about
horses from horseback if you learn the
proper things about horsemanship from the
the
ground you can apply it in the saddle
but everything that happens in the
saddle has to happen properly on the
ground first and so we teach
communication with a horse understand
the Instinct the horse communication
with the horse uh we teach very in-depth
class on
Saddles cuz a Wrangler rides
professionally all the time but there's
a lot of hurting Wranglers out there
because they don't understand Saddles to
start with so we have very in-depth
class on Saddles we have a we have a
class on bits and head stalls and stuff
uh we have a class on uh the uh
digestive system and diet on horses we
have a class on basic first a on horses
uh we have a class on basic hoof care
for the horse owner we don't teach
uh frier work but what you need to look
for to know okay I need a faer out here
this isn't right and just to be is a
faer is someone who horses someone who
put shoes on horses yeah and so you know
and so we ride you know we do ride but
it's not that's not it's not a vacation
spot it's it's a school it's a school
it's a school I you know I've seen I've
been to some seminar Horsemen ship
seminars clinicians
of guys that were way better Horsemen
than I am okay there's it's not a
question no no problem admitting that at
all but I've watched and I've
seen the uh their the folks out there at
the clinics and their faces are just
blank and they're lost and I'm like
they're not ready for this like there
are some there are some Kindergarten
Basics that your average person never
got about horses and so it's like trying
to teach somebody
algebra without teaching them addition
first and so we teach the basics to
start out just what is a horse what
makes a horse tick you know what makes a
horse react they do you know I
appreciate that you do that because I
feel like I know so little about horses
right I'm coming up here just to do a
podcast with you and I was already like
hey man I haven't read a horse in 20
years don't don't laugh and you were
like we do not laugh we we're here to
teach you and I was like I appreciated
that right off the bat we we have folks
come through the school here who have
never been on a horse
before not a problem sometimes it's
easier to build a new house than is
remodel an old one no bad habits no bad
habits some of my most not all okay but
some of my more difficult students I
don't mean difficult uh attitude wise I
just mean to teach are ones who come
from a horse background that just it
wasn't right and so they have to unlearn
what they know things that just will not
go out here it just won't work I hate to
interrupt you I've heard that sound on
your podcast and I didn't know what that
was I was like is that um is that coffee
kicking in like something hidden just
for anybody who's listening he's
lighting up his cigar and I I I listened
to his podcast and I was wondering what
that was that's what that is never stop
doing thate my I love it were you
starting the YouTube to launch Dry Creek
Wrangler school or did you start the
school and think I'm going to start a
YouTube channel well the YouTube channel
definitely came first okay my wife and I
tried to start a school something like
this 20 years
ago and it just we couldn't make it Fly
couldn't get it off the ground and uh so
we kind of put it on the back burner and
gave it up the YouTube channel took off
um and and I started getting comments
from folks on there saying man if if
you'll start a school I'll come
and I was working I was wrangling for an
outfit in Texas that so I'm one of those
overnight successes that took 30 years
to happen yep yeah two years ago I was
making $11 an hour wow wrangling on as a
dude on a ranch wow um and but it took
off and uh the channel did and so we
said you know
what we're going to close our eyes and
jump off the cliff we're going to do it
I love that and and uh and so we we were
living in a little motor home she and I
had a little Class C 1993 Ford motor
home we were living in and uh we uh you
know things started falling into place
and we wound up we someone made
available a small piece of property in
Tennessee and so we went there last year
and started the school and but we knew
pretty quickly that was not a long-term
stop we didn't expect
uh to be able to do
something so quick um but then this
place a series of events um became
available so we moved out here in
April and uh we just finished our fourth
week of class this year and by the way
within the first week of class starting
we're booked all the way through the
year this year all the way and we have a
waiting list we've got people on a
waiting list that if that if anybody
calls and says I'm sorry sorry you know
I can't make it they're like you call me
and I'll take that spot any spot wow so
yeah that's a good a waiting list is
like the best thing yeah oh man what's
what's it like running a business now
like doing this like you've been a
Wrangler you've been a law enforcement
as well I mean you've had kind of a
pretty diverse career but I mean you're
now in the entertaining business in the
you know Hospitality business he's going
to smack you for saying
that I mean what's what's that that been
like that Adventure
I it's it's bizarre I don't like the
business side of it I don't like
business I I'm not a businessman never
wanted to be a businessman but I did
want to do what I wanted to do
without people who did not know what I
know as much as I know telling me what I
can and cannot do and paying me pennies
for it there's a lot of people that
start businesses yeah that's a I love it
yeah so a big motivating factor the big
motivating factor is just working for
myself doing things the way I want to do
them yeah and
then what I don't want to do I don't do
I love it yeah there's a lot of people
that lack the courage to do that you
know to take that leap it it is a leap
cuz it's like hold your breath in your
case you said hold your breath Mama
we're jumping yeah and I'm I'm so happy
that you took that leap of faith because
it's it's something that most people are
too afraid to do but I'm too afraid to
live the other way well you know if if
you hear you know you hear stories and
the two main ones when they talk about
the subject that come to mind uh is Colonel
Colonel
Sanders and Abraham
Lincoln you know how many times did he
fail yeah and Fa and Colonel Sanders
failed it and he was an old man by the
time he succeeded and so this success
comes on the hills of years and years of
failures um so it's not it's not just a case
case
of you can't can't be afraid to
fail you can't be afraid to fail again
can and
again and again it's getting back up
some people are afraid of falling that first
first
time well then but it's if you know if
we had
quit getting up you know 10 years ago so
it's just getting up again and again and
again and every time you fail you learn
from it
you know so that failure was necessary
that failure was positive that failure
taught you
another piece of the puzzle that you're
going to need when you finally succeed
you're only going to have what you need
to succeed because you gained it from
your failures and if you don't have any
failures you don't have anything to
build your success on because you didn't learn
learn
anything wisdom comes at a
price and sometimes
we don't want to pay it anymore it's
sort of analogous to I think how you've
described horsemanship where there's a
lot of people in life and in their
career they just want to jump on the
horse and ride they just want to go and
they don't have the patience to learn
the foundational stuff you know they and
they get out ahead of their skis a
little bit and and don't have the the
background and experience and wisdom to
to back it up they don't have the
patience but they also don't have the
humility um and that's what it takes
it's it's humility
horsemanship is a lifetime of
study I mean you never you'll never
learn it all you'll never get it all um
but it takes it's like anything else
that you want to master you've
constantly studying it you live it you
sleep it you eat it you breathe it you
study it you dream it uh you humble
yourself and learn from anybody you
humble yourself and get out there and
make mistakes and learn from your own
mistakes mhm sometimes you get up and
you go over and you apologize to the
horse for being an idiot and you get
back on and try again and uh and yeah
it's it takes patience it takes a
a a
vision I knew and and I'm not anywhere
near I'm not halfway there I knew years
and years and years ago what I wanted to
look like as a Horseman I wanted my what
I wanted my horsemanship the level I
wanted to be at and so I have to have
the humility and the common sense to
look at myself consciously and say son
you ain't there yet you're not even
close to there yet you know and and just
and just keep studying keep learning and
you know keep riding did you have like
figures in your life mentors people that
you sort of look to as maybe folks that
set the
bar I mean personally or public figures
uh personally I guess um there's there's
been there was one fell years ago
that he taught me more than anybody else
personally um and I haven't I don't I
haven't talked to him in years but there
was a there was a cowboy in Kansas that
helped me start Colts years ago and he
taught me more than anybody else
personally about
horses um and so there was him but
outside of that on a personal level no
um and I've watched you know seminars
and gone to clinics and read books and
watch videos and and all that you know
studied on my own for years you you kind
of just set that bar for yourself to be
set the bar for myself you know there
there's been things about horses that
I'm like you know a particular something
whatever it is and uh I've been doing it
this way for years and I'm like that's not
not
right you know and I keep doing I'm like
that is not right and I just I would
just chew on it and meditate and think
about it and just keep trying and one
day it's like a light would come on I'm
like oh it should be like this and it
seems like every time that
happened wouldn't be long after that I'd
watch a video from some oldtime Horsemen
I mean some real Horsemen and he would
lay it out and I'm like well there it is
so I was right you know um and uh but
it's just keep scratching just keep
scratching keep clawing and uh you know
and have the humility to say I don't
think I'm
right do you think you know you've
you've talked since we've been out here
and you talk about it a lot on your
podcast about how for you it's important
to just kind of take time to just
reflect um like you said kind of chew on
some of the things that are going on
things that you're you're doing and not
doing um I feel
like most of society we don't we don't
take that time we don't just sit and be
quiet and reflect um it's just go go go
go it's it's consume um we just
devour we don't really stop to to think
it through um can you talk a little bit
of just just why that's important for
you um and if you think that like it's
something that can be um like should
others be doing that yes um there's in
my opinion I
mean how can we
be the best version of us
if we don't know who we
are you know and how can we know who we
are if we never stop sit down and
realistically honestly look at oursel
and how can we sit down and honestly
realistically look at oursel if we're
glued to a phone or a television or a
computer game or or or reading books I'm
I'm big proponent of reading all right
um but even when you're
reading and I'm not in any way knocking
reading long as you're reading good
material but you're listening to his
words there's times when you just need
to sit down and listen to your own words
because maybe your words are foolish but
you never realize that your words are
foolish because you never stop and
listen to your
words you know and so it's just there
just there has to be there has to be
periods of solitude and silence and uh
you you can't be you cannot be
happy anywhere in the world with anybody
in the world if you're not happy with
yourself I mean you can't cuz you're
closer to yourself than you are to
anybody and so yeah I
think um Solitude and reflection and
silence is is lost but I think today
that's that's one of the biggest things
that we've lost that's that's playing
such a huge part um in the destruction
of society today I mean
men I'll get in trouble
here and so this there's a lot come on
say that I I talk to men a lot so I I
grew up I'm going to take a rabbit Trail
here yeah go please so I've got three
younger sisters I was the only boy so it
was me and my three sisters my three
sisters were very we were raised in the
house they were very
um they were very feminine okay and I
don't mean that in any kind of bad way
um but they were
not tomboys they were not outside you
know and so I was by myself all right
and so I didn't hang out with my sisters
I didn't hang
out and so I'm most comfortable talking
to guys relating to guys and so it's by
and I you know I get a lot of comments
about this on the channel it it's not
that I'm saying this doesn't
apply uh it's just that's just how I
relate and that's how I communicate and
come across um and then so I chased that
rabbit and forgot what I was actually
after what we were talking about like
nowadays it's almost like seems like
it's a sin to be a manly man yeah well
it it's in some circles it is but in
other circles it it's it's um a complete
ignorance of what being a manly man
consists of what is the point of being a
masculine manly man if if you're a stupid
stupid
man what is the
point okay and and but what is the point
of being a brilliant studied educated
whatever uh if you're a
weakling everything in life that has any
value is balance there's a balance there
has to be a balance and today men have
lost the balance you know they can go
out you know you you have men who can go
to the gym and they can and they can
work out and they're very strong
you know and they can drink a lot of
booze and before they get drunk you know
or whatever all these manly traits but
they can't read a
book they can't sit down and and have an
intelligent discussion about a
deep subject that matters to people you
know so we've we've lost our balance um
you can't have all
noise and no silence
but then again you can't have all
silence I mean we can't shave our heads
and go live in a cave in the mountain
and that's not helping anybody right you
know so I mean there has to be a balance
to everything and you know we talk about
that everything goes back to horses when
I was young you know I didn't come up
with this it's just somebody else said
it I'm like yeah that that was me too
you know we're 90% braa And 10% brains
you know but as I get older I'm like man
I'm 90% brains and 10% Braun and uh you
know try to find that balance in horsemanship
of getting the horse where I want the
horse but listening to the horse where
the horse wants me you know that's a
that's a New Concept for a lot of folks
but it's just everything's balanced
everything should be balanced and I
think we've lost that so is this like a
passion of yours to let people like know
that like why did you put this you're
you you got a A Wrangler school and you
got YouTube dry pre Kingler school what
made you want to just like I don't just
talk to the camera like about struggles
was it comments was it like why did you
like that first video that so content y
I mean that that was that was it so you
know we did there's times I don't always
have a horse available and there's times
where I I don't have like the weather's
bad you know or or just whatever and one
of the things they told me it's like if
if you want your channel to do anything
you've got to be consistent with content
so there was at one
point we had I think Dean and I were
coming out to Idaho last summer uh and
that's where we came to this place the
first time and so I was on the
road and I didn't have a horse didn't
have a saddle didn't have anything I'm
like you know I need to put something
out I need content and I had a thought
you know I we my wife and I we've raised
seven children and you know they're all
grown now all good good upstanding
adults and um but you know I and there's
young people in our life and I had a
thought in my head and so and I don't
remember which one it
was um but I just cuz I needed content
and this was on my heart anyhow so I
just sat down and and just talk talked
to the camera about it and it went
boom I'm like well that wasn't a plan
you know that that wasn't and but then I
started getting comments on the channel
I started getting young people asking
questions and emailing and saying look
I'm having trouble with this man that
really resonated I I don't know what to
do and I'm like well the answer to that
one is actually pretty straightforward
so I'd do a video answering
that and it boom one just dog tailed
after the other and that and it just it
it wasn't intended it just happened one
of the videos that I saw of you I think
the first video I saw of you was someone
had taken it and put it on Tik Tok of
you talking about um you know there's
nothing wrong with women I love women I
respect women but I'm a man and I do
man's stuff and that one there were
thousands of different versions out
there and I was just like that that's
when I first came across you and I was
like that's interesting and you talked
about there being an all all out attack
or I forget how you worded it there's an
alloud attack on on uh masculinity at
least in this country um and uh and that's
that's
just nonsense it's just it it's
self-destructive is what it is
um and folks will stand up and say and
I'm not going to deny you know women
have in a lot of ways
you know women have been not treated
well by men over the years um but I talk
about that
pendulum you know a pendulum swings this
way so somebody gets
reactionary and so they react against it
but they react against it so strong that
the pendulum swings too far back this
way and we're just swinging crazy
there's where's the balance you know
where's the balance um
but and there's a the family's been
under attack I've been saying that for
years I'm like fix the country by fixing
the family it's been so destroyed the
family has been under attack which well
you look at television we don't have a
television but I see stuff here and
there for years now on television dads
are depicted as the biggest idiots you
know it's a direct attack and so you
take a small child who's sitting there
watching the TV and his entire life from his
his
cartoons up through the sitcoms up
through the drama series up through his
movies his entire
life every dad he's ever seen portrayed
was a complete idiot in a buffoon how is
he going to maintain respect for his own
father and how is he going to maintain
in respect for himself as a man wow
because he's been taught his entire life
that he is his gender is the cause for
all the problems in the world and he's a
failure and he's a fool uh and and he's
he's abusive just based on what his
gender is if he happens to be masculine
about it you know and so then we wonder
what in the world's happened out there
and there's a lot of young men I think
that are waking up and
saying no I don't think this is the
truth I don't know what the truth is I
don't know where to find it I don't know
what to do with it if I do find it but I
don't think this is the truth and so
they're searching you know and so in
this deal it's just kind of happened it
wasn't what I set out I just kind of
want to be the calm voice of reason you
know um there's a lot of raging Maniacs
angry angry people out there lobbing
Bombs over the other side and I just
want to be that that calm voice of
reason you know hey guys it's all right
you know we talked about that last night
over the fire about how it's kind of a
little sad that
people don't have that in their life
there's not someone around them showing
them the way how to be a good man how to
be strong how to protect your family but
also how to be kind and it's beautiful
that you're able to come in and and like
kind of share your wisdom things you've
learned things from horses and how
horses relate to humans how to how to
talk to a horse how to you know train a
horse and how to train yourself in a way
um it's like I said it's a little sad
that it's we have to go to the internet
to find inspiration and but however I
also find it it's beautiful that one guy
now can be influencing millions of
people um does that weigh heavy on you a little
little
bit it it weighs it my wife would tell
you it weighs really heavy cuz this is a
like I said this isn't what
I set out to do um you know I didn't I
there are guys who go to school I want
to be a u a psychologist I want to be a
therapist therapist I want to be this I
want to be a counselor you know they go
to school and they pursue it that's what
they want to do you know that that
wasn't and so when I get and I you'd be
surprised how many uh when I get a
comment from someone to say I was
sitting on the bed last night getting
ready to end it all and for whatever
reason I saw this video and it gave me
the hope and the courage to carry on
that's and I get a lot of those and that
yeah that's heavy
what do you do with that you know like
I'll make another
video I mean if
if
if if the situation
much I'd shut everything down go to the
mountains and disappear you'd have to
burn the stump and sift the Ashes to
find me I mean it that's but I'm like
and then I read one of that I'm like
well I guess that's not what I supposed
to do that's so I keep doing I just keep
doing what I'm doing I just find it's so
interesting you're a guy who's living
kind of like someone did in
1800 and you're loving it um but yet you
have this YouTube channel you're
reaching millions of people and it's
weighing it weighs heavy on you but you
almost it's almost is it a calling right
now to to keep this going with the
school and everything obviously is is
your passion but the YouTube
um I don't I don't know if it's calling
I don't know I do feel like right now
it's an obligation and it may be the
same thing I just know right now it it's
something so we've got the
school uh which is um the the students
show up school starts we have
orientation on Sunday night and then
they leave on Saturday morning after
breakfast and then the next Bunch comes
in in on Sunday
afternoon so it's
fulltime had the podcast I was doing two
podcasts a week and it just got to be
too much and then we have the YouTube
channel and then all the business that
goes along with all three of those so my
wife is actively trying to get me to cut
back on something she says just too much
and uh you know but right now I'm like
you know I don't know what to cut back
on I'm behind a week on on the YouTube
videos I got to get one out but I I feel
like there's there's an obligation there
somehow you know if somebody needs a
little bit of encouragement and we can
encourage it but we're like I'm tired I
don't feel like it we turn around and
walk away you know who wants to be that
guy you know I
don't I don't know right now we're just
doing what we're doing and it's a lot of
work Ben yeah it's a whole family
operation too your your family has been
wonderful we've been here a couple of
days and your your daughter's your Chef
for folks to come through you know your
wife is so involved in the business
aspect and um you know you've got your
so my runs the business runs okay so
more involved she is the business she is
the business all right when I said while
ago I hate the business side of things
yeah there wouldn't be a school without
her uh she takes all the calls she makes
all the bookings she does the paperwork
uh then she mamas everybody everybody
calls her mama and uh yeah and then my
youngest son will he's been here he'll
be here for another couple months he's
been helping with the horses and stuff
and he's been a cowboy and Texas and I
think has he been involved a few other
locations too or is it just Texas no he
he has he's he guided with me in Alaska
and he cowboyed with me on a ranch in
Colorado for a while okay yeah we got
this see him up on top of the mountain
little ways down that way actually a
it's a long it's quite a ways up to the
mountain we got to see himed well he was
trying to teach me how to R uh rip a
horse yeah um that went
well rer you got iter you got it well it
was a massive steer that was moving very
fast or it was a bucket station it was a
bucket yeah I know was that little
plastic head over there it totally was
on a bucket um it might have been that
milk carton right over there well we
it's kind of interesting I mean so our
wives are here behind the cameras uh
doing their thing we came here with our
families but um we both Jacob and I are
in business or multiple businesses with
our wives as well so like we understand
the um the great journey and adventure and
and
joy uh as well as stress and pressure
and uh you know difficulty that that
comes with having your family be your business
business
uh and vice versa and uh it's it's not
something everybody can do you know it
takes a lot no and and there I mean
there's there's
no mistake or or if something happened
to either one of us at that moment Dry
Creek rangler School's
done I mean it's just it's the two of us
doing this this following this dream uh
doing this together but if the good Lord
took either one of us home to school at
that minute is done the the dream was
accomplished we did what we set out to
do but there's not somebody going to
come in and buy this and carry on Dry
Creek Wrangler school not going to hire
a manager I wouldn't carry on and hire
somebody to run the business side it's
it's us or it's
nothing and this has truly been a
30-year dream 20 years 20 years yeah uh
we tried to put together at school um
several years ago I mean I had
the shes made up we had stuff and I just
I couldn't is this the one you're
talking about in Africa no that that was
a different one okay no this was before
this was a long time before that okay um
and uh and I just couldn't but you know
to if and my wife and I have both talked
about this if I had succeeded if we had
succeeded when we first tried to start
this school 20 years ago it would have
bombed horrifically really yeah because
I wasn't ready as a person uh my
temperament my personality my growth my
maturity I wasn't ready
so that had to
fail before this could succeed and I I
think many times we don't realize that
that our failures when we start out to
do something our failures are blessings
and disguise we failed at it cuz we
weren't ready to do it it doesn't mean
we're not not supposed to do it it just
means we're not the solid mature calmer
experienced person who can actually make this
this
work and so yeah it was it was a good
thing it was a good thing that that it
failed back then that's that's crazy to
say yeah it's a good thing it failed and
I want to point out this I feel like I
see a lot of people well this is just
who I am and just it's G you're going
have to just deal with this is who I am
as if they're never going to change
thank God I'm not the same guy I was
when I was 25 and I hope when I'm 60 I'm
not the same guy I am right now right I
hope actually then I can ride a
horse um we're going to get you on a
horse tomorrow oh that'll be nice yeah
he's got a match you're not allow to
laugh I got a pony about that
time I don't don't ever dare put sugar
in your coffee around Dwayne he's like
it's in there in the flower in there
sister sister yeah
um I I love it man this is the I like I
told you before I get Giddy and excited
and I've said that maybe this is a flaw
in my character um but I love when other
people are successful too even when I'm
losing I'm like you know what I can do
that you know that's not a flaw though I
mean that's that's a more people need
that you know more people need to be
excited for others excited for their
success and so without even knowing you
and reading his by he's got seven kids I
I'm one of seven I'm the oldest boy like
when you're the oldest kids you're kind
of also like helping raise a lot of the
kids um I was like you know we we family
businesses we've had some succeed some
fail and I was just like I felt such a
kinship with you and I'm sure a lot of
people do as well but I I I loved some
of the videos that you had where you
talked about just that where just like
it's okay to be wrong it's okay to you
know but evaluate change and move on
never never forget that you're a
human just I mean just try to be the
best human you can be but at your
best you're still just a
human yeah you know and and we don't and
again a lot of this today I'm going to
put it back at the feet of Television
you know because people have grown up
with an
unrealistic depiction of what heroism is
of what courage is of what kindness is
uh of what wisdom is you know and so our
heroes are
spotless you know they're without
blemish they're without fault on
television you know we got Superman we
got the Lone Ranger you know how he Lone
Ranger caught all these bad guys in his
suit never got dirty you know and and
you know and so we grow
up thinking that's what it means to be a
good guy and I don't measure up
uh so why try you know what's funny you
you love history as well right
absolutely and I love reading as well I
grew up watching documentaries about
history and you see some of these movies
where you see these guys they're Heroes
they're Flawless guys they got that
jawline they're just I mean they're buff
and they're the hero they come in and
World War II gear and they they you know
fight off you know the Japanese or or
the Germans and then you go actually
look that guy up in history and he's the
shorter kind of a gremlin looking of a
guy and you realize oh this man like
stormed Normandy beats you know went and
took out those guys that were mowing
down all the guys and this is the guy
who got you know it's like he doesn't
look like the hero but he was yeah you
know I mean so some of my biggest heroes
in history are Winston Churchill and
Theodore Roosevelt you know Winston
Churchill was gargantuan yep you know
and his appetites were gargantuan go
they were you know his schedule his yeah
it was crazy it was crazy but look at
what he did you know and I've had people
get on the channel when I've talked
about how much I respect Churchill and
they say he did this he did that and
they look at this I'm like yeah that's
the beauty of it he was a flawed human
being and he still accomplished all this
you know um Theodore Rosevelt you know
same thing if you get in and really
study he was a flawed human being well
nowadays that just that negates
everything you messed up once I'm sorry
yeah but so and and you know you take
now you take they're erasing all of our
founding fathers because they find that
they were humans they were flawed you
know and they don't look at look at the
tremendous things that were right that
they did changing the course of the
world the world the world you know but
today it's like somebody does something
that's a least bit flawed and they're
cancelled Y and they're canc so people
like you know I can't measure up so I
won't try God that makes me so mad like
what happened used to like failure used
to be a thing like okay you failed and
then you succeeded good on you but now
it's just like oh you failed that's it
move on next person so I just want to
you know I just try to encourage people hey
hey
you're you're
Humanity that is your
glory you know that is your glory your
failure and then you're getting back
up the man who never
fail the man who never fail has no glory
the man who fell and got back up that's
where his glory is the man who fell 20
times and got up 21 times that man has
even greater glory wow that man has more
courage way more courage than the guy
who was so strong from birth that he
never fa there there's no glory in that
you know it's it's
not and so I just you know I just try to
encourage guys to say hey we're humans
and but we have inside of us we have a
courage and we have a
determination and we can have a strength
and a gentleness at the same time
uh and that's our Glory our Glory comes
from our faults
accomplishing what we accomplish in
spite of our faults and without the
faults there is no glory because there's no
no
Victory and uh so you know the all the
failures in business all the failures in
everything you know as a husband as a
father all that stuff but you know we
look where we are today and say we
didn't quit we kept on and and so it's
like yeah and I had
someone um
I did a I just did a
short um Instagram reel you know just
the horses riding enough and some guy
commented this is not a poke against him
he was just making an observation and so
I'm just conversing back you know he
said some of us don't have the resources
to live that
life none of us have the resources to
live that life my daddy was a Baptist
preacher I was born in Kentucky I've had
glasses since I was 14 I weighed 125 lb
my gradate high school I was not an
athlete did not grow up with horses
never had a
horse all right we were poor as job's
turkey all right so when you don't have the
the
resource to accomplish this you build
the resource and you start building
resources my dad was a tremendous auto
mechanic and I've seen him stand there
looking at a vehicle and he needed a
specialty tool to work on this vehicle
and I've watched him go and take a
wrench and take a blowtorch and start
twisting and and bending that wrench and
then cut part of it off and then take
another piece of Steel and get a welder
and weld it he didn't have the resource
to fix the car so he went and built the
resource first I love it and then took
it and fixed the car and if you have a
dream of where you're going you don't
look at I don't have the resources to
get there none of us do
man so you start building the resources
in order to build the dream you build
the hammer and you build the nails with
which you're going to build the
house if you sit there and say well I
can't build a house cuz there ain't no
Hardware stored nearby you don't want a
house very
bad you know so it's not a lack of
resources it's a lack of
Courage wow that's that's good stuff
powerful stuff I man I didn't know your
dad was a Baptist preacher my father was
a Baptist preacher um and so I grew up
in that World
um so I mean God do do you believe in
God I mean do you feel like it plays a
role in our lives I do um I mean I'm I'm
I'm born again I I believe that Jesus
Christ um you know is the only
Redemption for mankind and uh I believe that
that
you know his death on the cross paid the
price for our sin and it's the only way
to the
father uh and yeah you can't you can't
leave out the role that God and his plan
in our relationship with him plays um
but I have a I have a very
um troubled past with organized religion
and so I'm not much in that Arena
anymore I'll just put it like that well
just to you fill you in I feel like my
father and my mother put in everything
into this these churches that we worked
with and it felt
like it just chewed us up and spit us
out broke and broken
and we felt like a PRI to the church
people and then we felt like regular
people didn't like us or we were you
know those people the Christians and and
I made a choice young to not turn from
that um I would agree organized religion
I have a kind of a hard I I have a
problem with it right
but a lot of my friends turned away they
don't go to church they don't believe in
God they don't believe in Jesus and that
was something I was like no I actually
truly do believe in a God I was like I
look at the world I look at the universe
I'm like I just don't think just just
came from nothing man right and I
appreciate the fact that you talked
about it because a lot of people are
afraid to talk about God yeah no I didn't
didn't
lose I didn't lose my faith you know
nothing like that it's just
um somehow over the years the church has
lost its ability to get out of its own
way yeah and to get out of God's way and
I just didn't want to be a part of it
anymore I I 100% agree with that because
a lot of times I felt like the religion
got in a way of me actually having a
relationship with God I was so worried
about what that person would think that
person would think that I wasn't
actually reading the Bible I wasn't
praying I wasn't I was so worried about
what man thought and I was like this is
this is this is a religion yeah and some
people I feel like they do need some
structure to help them but um and that's
not every I mean that's not everybody's
experience and that's not every Church
you know like we we all go to you know
our church and I think um that Faith
Community for me is a big reason why I
keep going you know it's the people it's
the you know it's the that um you know
support system and I think that um you
know you're a pretty solitary guy and so
you know for
you that certainly may not be you know a
necessity but this church is the horse
and the Wilderness yeah that's right
yeah you know for me I I need the I need
the group and I you know so it but it's
not to say that
um the the church Community is isn't um
like there's plenty of opportunity for
bad things and bad people and you don't
you don't it's like anything anything
else in life you don't want to paint
with too broad a brush yeah you know um
and I by no means I don't all of all of my
my
children uh you know they all attend Services
Services
regular and uh you know and we fully
support it and so it's not an attack
against anything or anybody it's just
where where we got yeah I mean I'm I've
been relatively open you know that I'm a
man of of faith on there but I don't
talk about
that and that's a conscious decision and
my dad and I had this discussion he
wanted to know why I didn't you
know discuss it more openly and actively
on the channel That kind of bothered him
and but I'm like
like
there's There Are Places all over this
planet more or less where you can go and
somebody will be happy to tell you about
Jesus you know but you can't go to
church at least the churches I've been
in and be told how to be a good
man there's a lot of quote unquote
Christian men out there that don't know
how to be good calm solid Dependable
Dependable
men and it has nothing to do with
religion and so I'm like here here's a
message that needs to be out and it
needs to
not be
filtered um it needs to not be filtered
you know and I have and and then you
know I have Christians that get on the
channel and they kind of uh reprimand me
really yeah the Christians reprimand me
more than anybody really yeah those
Christian it's it's Dave and I were on
there like I know I know I was like I
could see the signature there no but but
they're like you know all this is
foolishness all you need is Jesus you
just need Jesus we get that sometimes
too and but but I you know I'm like well
listen so if you're saying that that
means you believe in Jesus and you
believe the Bible all right so God the
father had Jesus born under the tutelage of
of
Joseph who was a Godly and honorable man
why because God needed to be taught how
to be a good man by another good
man and if
God now I'm going to get hung for this I'm going to be burnt in effigy for this
I'm going to be burnt in effigy for this okay but when God became man I believe
okay but when God became man I believe that he was Jesus was God all God and
that he was Jesus was God all God and all man when God became man if his Gods
all man when God became man if his Gods side wasn't enough how in the world can
side wasn't enough how in the world can us just knowing god be enough if all we
us just knowing god be enough if all we need to do is know God we don't need the
need to do is know God we don't need the Proverbs we don't need Ecclesiastes we
Proverbs we don't need Ecclesiastes we don't need the parts of the Bible that
don't need the parts of the Bible that tell us how to live right Jesus didn't
tell us how to live right Jesus didn't need
Joseph Isaac didn't need Abraham they didn't need good Godly
Abraham they didn't need good Godly fathers good solid men teaching them how
fathers good solid men teaching them how to be good solid men we can just be
to be good solid men we can just be flippant you just need religion you just
flippant you just need religion you just need God well I've been in church I was
need God well I've been in church I was 8 days old my first service I went to

got a clue on how to be good men and they've been
on how to be good men and they've been under the Bible their whole life so I
under the Bible their whole life so I agree with that I don't buy it yeah and
agree with that I don't buy it yeah and I just got fired up a little bit well I
I just got fired up a little bit well I I I get fired up with that too because I
I I get fired up with that too because I I've been in churches where um I've
