One thing I love about your videos is the absence of ego. I subscribe to and help support a couple of rescue channels (one for dogs, one fo lions) run by amazing and conscientious people who put up new videos regularly. But I’ve stopped watching them because nearly all the running time is a talking head and I want to look at the animals.
Also try videos by HERD, the elephant rescue group that has a herd of orphan elephants and a new orphan just six months old. Their Almost daily videos, accompanying the elephants into the bush, and explaining who the ellies are and what they do are great. A wonderful non profit
@@ruthbrewer466 Yep, I'm a supporter too, currently keeping fingers crossed for little Phabeni. Like CC's site, Herd is as you say also full of information.
Itis my experience that introverted people often feel other people’s stuff too much and naturally turn to our relationships with the gentle creatures sharing our world. They freely share their souls with us needing the energetic exchange as much as we do. Your husband and sweet horses, Huckleberry and Tiny, are all the community you need to follow your purpose. You gratefully fill your purpose as a caretaker of the Earth. There is peace, love and healing on your farm and the world is just a little bit more balanced because of you. We broken down old horsewomen live vicariously through you, remembering the days horses of our youth. Thank you for posting and sharing your horses with us. ❤
It's going to be 1am here in Western Australia, it's worth staying up for! I hope there are going to be a couple of new horses, Ziggy and Prim will be moving to forever home soon. So we need a full stable load to watch! 😂
Fellow insomniac here. I watch CCs videos when I can’t sleep. Lately, the ASMR of the evening feed and sunset has helped me slow my mind and fall asleep or fall back to sleep. Ii know it is not good sleep hygiene to have the tv on and sometimes the junk in my head needs something more pleasurable to focus on.
Get the Burro CC!!!! Mine kills coyotes, Walked my blind horse around and saved my mare when she lost her mate. She almost died of a broken heart until Jimmy Jack showed up.
Girlfriend You are just the Best... I had my Beloved BLM Mustang mare for 32 years. She was the Best ever !! I Miss her so much :( She had perfect conformation, and was the Baby sitter for all my GrandChildren ♥ She ended up being an all around Horse, and was also Herd Mare. Love that Girl , she was my best friend xoxoxo
I loved seeing this particular BLM auction. It gave me a whole new positive appreciation for the BLM workers. They were so kind and well choreographed. Thank you!! 🙋🏼♀️💕
I’m not too surprised about how wonderful the BLM crews are. I’ve met a few some years back and they all seemed great. They have nothing to prove and usually really like/love their jobs. Great to see them in action and the care they take.
Sadly the BLM receives many angry comments from cow-calf livestock owners dealing with restrictions of grazing and blame BLM for the poor prices they are offered when they sell their cows. The politics has blurred the BLM’s work to preserve the rangeland for the rich resource that it is. ⾺
THOSE HORSES SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ROUNDED UP AT ALL!! SO sad and so many costly externalities to these friggin BLM practices. PLUS they are breaking the law = Wild Horse Annie's wild mustang and burro protection law passed in the '70's. It's insane and shameful. From an adopter of 2 BLM burros who I'm sure would rather be back free in AZ!!! Sorry, I feel strongly about this guys. Glad you were there to help the BLM out with their overstock of captured, once-free, mustangs.
Are you kidding me. The BLM rounds them up, usually by helicopter, running them so hard some get heat stressed, injured, foals injured! They are SHOT by the people who are paid by the BLM to round them up. There are 3 families who are paid to round them up & to keep them penned up, costing taxpayers millions of dollars a year, forced to live in their own filth without shade!!! The blind & elderly mustangs & burros are shot. The herd normally takes care of their entire herd. The elderly & blind mustangs left behind die because they no longer have the herd to lead them to food and water & are killed by predators because their stallions are gone, stolen from the wild by the Bureau of Land Management! The Killers buy the Mustangs and Burros and take them across the Border to Mexico to be SLAUGHTERED. The three families involved in the roundups make a percentage from the Killers. They have a huge Scam Operation, making money from the Killers, making money from keeping them penned up on their ranches, & roundups. Taxpayers are paying for the Slaughter & Abuse & Terror!!! Tracy Manning the BLM Director, the three families & the Killers involved with the three families, belong in Prison! They take too many Mustangs from the wild, threatening their genetic diversity. Horses survived the Ice Age. Therefore Mustangs are an endangered species according to their low numbers. The three families & the BLM & the Dept of The Interior claim the Mustangs are overgrazing the public lands. The three families remove the Mustangs and then release cattle and sheep, stripping the land of the natural resources! These corrupt families just wanted to get rid of the Mustangs so they could put sheep and cattle on the land, destroying it!!! Letters, Pleas & Protests from Americans including children & First Nations to the Biden Regime BLM & Dept of Interior went Unanswered!!! Abolish the BLM! Arrest the 3 Families & their Killers & the Corrupt Conservation Officers & Arrest Tracy Manning & Arrest Deb Haaland!!! They keep trying to block journalists from taking video of the roundups & the shootings & the pens!!! If they weren’t doing anything wrong, why ban the media! FDEMS! FJB!!!

"He is a short little meatball that is a little bit apprehensive." I love that this is the description of your kind of horse. Just makes me admire you all the more.
I really enjoyed your covering the BLM adoption. Last summer my BLM heart horse had reached his end. He was adopted as a stud colt which I gentled and saddled and was used for trail riding. He was awesome. When anywhere, through anything. Mud, water crossing and the deadly spooky tree stumps, no complaints. After 22 years he left with a piece of my heart. That stocky bay roan was 😢 an important part of my life. Thank you.
Yes, I remember well when I lost my palomino mare. It hurt for a very long time. When we went out by ourselves I would sing to her. My favorite was This Old Man because it had 10 + verses. She was a beauty, very calm & kind.
I am very pleased to hear they are doing checks on anyone who wants to bid. That's very responsible. It's also lovely to see well fed, healthy horses being handled nicely and gently. It was nice to see them gently putting head collars on and expertly loading them into the trailers. Auctions are stressful but they really try to make it as easy for the horses as possible. All in all it's been very enjoyable to watch.
CC, I admire your restraint. I’d be bidding like a fool which proves that I am that! As a retired farrier, I can’t help but admire the hooves on these animals.
Life has already treated them like sh-t. They're run by helicopters, being injured (broken legs, necks), run to death, mares separated from foals, stallions from their families, then locked up and often auctioned to buyers who then resell them in other auctions where they're often sent to slaughter. I live in Nevada and what is done to the mustangs during roundup is a crime. They no longer allow the news stations to film the roundups because of what happens - a foal with a broken leg, an adult mustang with a broken leg, a mare who broke her neck being driven into the trap, a foal whose hooves were literally destroyed by the running and had to be euthanized - these are just a few incidents that were captured on film.
I am not a horse owner myself, but I love horses and follow some horse channels here on YT. This auction is actually the nicest one I have seen so far - so much less stressful and less noise. Although they are wild horses they do not look to stressed out and that makes me happy. The regular auctions with lots of noise of whips and voices is stressful for me as a human - and I am only participating online! I always feel sorry for the animals in those noisy environments. I am also happy to see that the horses in this auction are well taken care of, looks glossy and healthy and wellfed. And it is a good idea to show them in groups because horses are herd oriented and is happier and calmer within a group. I wish that that would be the norm at other auctions as well.
I agree, this is the kindest treatment I’ve seen in any horse auctions on RUclips.😊These horses looked pretty calm all things considered, and I was happy to see how gentle the BLM folks were when haltering the mustangs for transport. I don’t have the knowledge to train one either, but I hope they all land in happy homes with trainers like CC who won’t rush them to saddle (seeing the scars on Pete from a previous ‘trainer’ was heartbreaking).
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I mean...I guess with well trained horses, the noisy atmosphere is a good test for the temperament of the horse. But it seems cruel to subject animals to it, who just aren't equipped to handle this kind of environment.
Love all the information you gave in the video. The general public is extremely misinformed about the blm and adoption procedures and methods as well as requirements. I have 3 mustangs and they are amazing animals.
You are correct, you cannot take a donkey home. YET. You will, though, need to take TWO donkeys as although they make excellent horse companions, they very much appreciate the company of their own kind, and are often easier to handle as a pair rather than a single. Two donkeys broken to harness would be VERY useful, especially when you get a place of your own ...
That comment did mess with my brain a bit... I was a bit hungry too, so thought "meatballs" ?? "With mash and gravy"... "Where" ?? "I can only see horses" !!! Love from Norway 😅❤
I love your videos, because you are so good at explaining so many important topixs around handling horses, and I love your reflections on how to handle horses. I have learned so much from you and you are a big inspiration to me - a thousands thanks from me! A funfact about me; I have an arabian mare (same colour as Ziggy) and a yearling after her named Ziggy (he is red thoug). Lots of love and greetings from Denmark! 🩷♥️🎠🇩🇰
Now why did I break out in a huge goofy grin when that first group of burros trotted out? But I certainly did! Thank you so much for taking us along with you! It looks like a pretty exciting, suspenseful and fun event to be attending. Horse people seem like a good kind of people to hang around with. I'm so happy to be vicariously enjoying these adventures with you and the rest of the Clever Cowgirl Fan Club here. Hey Everyone! 👋🏻
I love that you go to auctions and don't buy anything, you're not just collecting animals for views, you're genuinely thinking about whether or not you have the time and energy for a new horse. It's so refreshing to see and one of the many reasons I keep watching.
Honestly, I know you’re shy but you’re doing an amazing job! Love your content and passion for horses. Love the energy and educational content that you throw in there.
Thanks for the information about the incentive program. Have often wondered how so many mustangs end up at Horse Plus Humane Society after being rescued from the slaughter pipeline. Thanks again for the information. 👍😔🙏❤️
I'm old now but back in the late 80's when I was 'transitioning' out of managing a 1,000 cow dairy our hoof trimmer Toby Richner, was developing the freeze branding option. He'd done a video following young stock over a couple of years as the tatts grew with the animals. Then he took that video and his stats with him to our state capitol and presented it so as to legally offer freeze branding over hot iron branding. Bless his heart; the law was changed, and he started an entire line of employment for people IDing critters. I worked with him on other dairies as they took advantage of the new tagging system over ear tags, what fun. Good to see it's used for these horses. Gave new meaning to tag team as it just takes 30 seconds of pressure to create the tattoo pair. Way less pain and the info is then in white hair, growing larger with the animal. Great idea comes to fruition.... Love your videos. Lets us know what we never learned when we too were horse owners.
You're right, Scarlett would be a fabulous English horse. Hopefully, she'll go to a home where the owner has a very active riding schedule to keep her mind and body occupied. Scarlett is gorgeous. You have such a great eye. They're all really nice horses.
It's refreshing to see an auction that takes great care of the horses under their roof. I've been seeing emaciated, broken legs, and diseases at other auctions.
Hard not to be a kid in a candy store at an event like this. Beautiful horses. Thanks for taking us along...hope they all get adopted and go to good homes. CC, you demonstrated great restraint today 🤭
As usual I'm late to the party but did a quick rewind and enjoyed this so much. If my dear old dad could've picked another life he would've asked to be a cowboy but he was born and bred in the North of England (a proud Yorkshireman mind you) and grew up dreaming of Mustangs while watching movies on the silver screen, because of him my childhood dreams of 🐎 pony ownership came true and watching this video today made me think of him. 😍 Those mustangs were in stunning condition and to see the people working with them so considerately was a pleasure. Sorry to go on but thank you for this glimpse into another world! 💕
Gosh the green hills and blue skies are a tonic to see. It’s a rainy winter Sunday morning here in New Zealand, this is perfect content to watch with a coffee in bed ☕️
I think bays are beautiful too! One of the many reasons I love this channel - it is not all flashy color and fad breeds. Yay for plain brown ponies! ❤😊
@SunnySunshineField Right ✅️ I don't understand people who judge a horse by its color. First real horse I rode as a really young girl, was a bay thourobred mare and her name was Chance , she was probably one of the best horse I ever rode. She did anything I asked of her. And I rode her bareback and when she would canter , it was like I was in perfect Rythem with her . She was a great horse 🐎 👏 👍 😀
I am SO glad to see how the process actually works! I have a BLM Mustang from outside of Winimucca (sp?) NV. I live in Upstate NY. I got her from a friend who got her from the original adopter who lives in TX. It's a long story...but I feel so blessed to have this wonderful mare...American Honey. ❤️❤️❤️
My favorite is the one at 7:02 in the video. The brown one, with a three white feet, long black tail, black mane and white on his(?) forehead. Beautiful! This was all very interesting and well explained. First time for me watching a horse auction explained. It’s unbelievable how inexpensive they all are. Less than $500 for a beautiful horse like these? Thank you for posting.
Oooooh! I love horse auctions. Best horse I ever got was a two-year old spotted Bay National Show Horse stud. No one in Cedar City, UT was interested, so I got him for $140. Took him to the vet down the road and had him gelded before taking him home. What a joy to work with and ride English.
This was my first auction, thanks for taking us along with you. I appreciated your take on how and what you look for in your horses and even the burrows. Those were some beautiful Mustangs. 😍
Watching this back-to-back from the *Very Expensive* horse auction really is a whiplash experience! I must admit though, the horses in this one tugged at my heart strings more.
I was at this event too but after the auction. There were many decent, promising horses still available for adoption. As horses and burros were adopted and loaded into the waiting trailer you could hear and feel the gratitude among those in the area. It was remarkable to witness. And yes there were a few that caught my attention but I didn't take any home. I have owned my Mustang for 10 years now and wouldn't trade him for anything. By the way the big gelding you see the guy riding is a Mustang and was absolutely amazing to watch. He literally held the ones loose in the alley while the guys sorted without a rider and by a gentle touch from his human moved enough to let the other horse pass through. It's always fun to watch a great partnership.
Big smile on my face when I seen your video pop up, hello cowgirl, beautiful horses fur babies❤ I always enjoy your videos no matter what you’re doing. I learned a lot about horses😊 thank you for taking us so long. I really enjoyed it.
Tuned in towards the end so will watch it from the start again. Hope the adopted Mustangs and Burros got forever homes with equine savvy committed adopters.
Oh my... I am kind of thankful I live on another continent...I would probably be a horse hoarder if I lived close... So thankful that I can watch through your eyes.
The camp I went to as a child rented a gelding for the summer who turned out to be proud cut and would routinely jump a 6-7 foot fence to get out with the mares and fight the geldings
Sigh…. “If wishes were horses…”. I can’t find it now, but I saw a documentary of a Swede(?) who adopted 3-fillies & one colt from BLM, went through a very long and pricey-process of bringing them to Europe to start a herd. He did a great job of giving the Mustang-history, speaking to natural-selection, called our wild horses one of the best breeds nature could make. Nice to see these horses get global-recognition.
Out of all the horse channels this channel the woman is so kind and gentle. Zero ego despite.being an extremely educated and experienced horse woman. New subsciber.
In mid 70's, in Adelaide South Australia, I was fortunate to meet a Horse Trainer who saved Brumbies from Culling in the Victorian High Plains. Bub O'Donnell. Brumbies are Intelligent & Nimble, with similar Dexterity to Quarter Horses. The opportunity to ride & interact with these Horses was a Privilege.
I’m a very new equestrian. And I go to a lesson later today! Seeing how you take care of your horses. Give them a good makeover is just awesome. I’m a Huge fan, I really enjoy your videos and your channel! Those horses were just gorgeous!
They were beautiful. Good decision on waiting. She will be there waiting for you when time is right. It has always been that way for me. Your love is heart warming. Great job cc.
I really liked that sorrel gelding in the first group of geldings. The one that only had a white sock on his hind foot. He seemed alot more calm than the rest of his group. And seemed alot more curious about his surrounding. More independent from the others in his group. Hope he got a good home.❤
I love how gentle and carefull they are with the horses. I thought it was super stressfull and they'd just chase around the horses and be really forcefull and unkind. This was so nice to watch and I'm so hopefull for all these horses to become a great companion. I loved seeing this auction!
This was the best horse auction video I've seen to date. Some of them are so sickening you can't even watch. I admire your restraint in not buying one of your several lovely choices. 🙂There's always the next time!
I really like how a fence requirement is stated ... Horses can clear most things esp if they are scared , saw my mares field mate clear 6 foot and she was 7 months pregnant , had the whole yard running , scared the xhit out of us that day
Watching this brought a tear im not gona lie im 58 now from the UK ,in my 20 s i bought ponies off the welsh mountains and penines and new forest and trained em i hate the term broke to ride n drive my life took a different tack an i havnt had a horse for a long time but i miss em so much i can smell em when ivwatch thanks hin from an emotional ol fart haha wondetful
I am so jealous that you get to go to these events. There is no better way to spend your day outside in the mountain air looking at all those gorgeous animals. Enjoy!!😎
I just loved your whole series on halter training Scarlet. I learned so much (even on top of everything I learn from every video you produce). I recommend the whole series, it’s so well done.
I will probably never own a horse, but I greatly enjoy going along with you and seeing the whole situation of the sale, from the kids in the audience, to the guys managing and moving the animals through the sale, and of course, the horses. I make picks, and see if I match your more experienced choices. I am a man of the sea, but It is great to be a horseman for an hour, tagging along with you. Thanks for a great video.
I think your personality might be a lot like mine. I spook easily too. I really don't like being around a lot of people but put me around 20 dogs or a barn full of horses and I'm in my happy place. I used to manage a kennel with 67 German Shepards and I used to train dressage horses. But I became legally blind in 2017. Between my blindness and PTSD I get the sneaking up thing. I love watching you (I still have 25% of my eyesight) you truly take the unwanted and give them love and heal their souls.
Many of us feel the same way. Being among groups of people is a relatively recent part of humanity and modernity. Before the use of fossil fuels starting with coal many of us worked with animals or in small groups.
Something I really appreciate about your videos is how thorough you are with explaining everything without taking for granted that we know something. I'm not from the US and blm is a complete mystery to me. Your videos are super interesting!
Hello, So many horses nice horses went though that auction. It just breaks my heart that they all could not find good homes. I know it's not a walk in the park to to get them tame and able to be ridden, but what a joy they must be. Love your videos. I get my horse fix through you because at 77 I can no longer afford a horse. Take care
Lovely to see how conscientious and ethical this organization is, with so many requirements and rules to try to protect these animals! I thought I knew quite a bit about horses, but CC offers a huge wealth of information, all very interesting. OMG, I was thinking of Nigel when I saw the little baby burro! 😍🥰

I don’t have the knowledge to train one either, but I hope they all land in happy homes with trainers like CC who won’t rush them to saddle (seeing the scars on Pete from a previous ‘trainer’ was heartbreaking).
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I mean...I guess with well trained horses, the noisy atmosphere is a good test for the temperament of the horse. But it seems cruel to subject animals to it, who just aren't equipped to handle this kind of environment.
And even an older lady like me learns lots of new things!
Love all the information you gave in the video. The general public is extremely misinformed about the blm and adoption procedures and methods as well as requirements. I have 3 mustangs and they are amazing animals.
That sorrel with the flaxen mane and white socks was super gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was my favorite of the bunch as well. I literally gasped.
@@larrymages9304 Right, omg 😲 they were gorgeous 😍 💖 💗
You are correct, you cannot take a donkey home.
YET.
You will, though, need to take TWO donkeys as although they make excellent horse companions, they very much appreciate the company of their own kind, and are often easier to handle as a pair rather than a single. Two donkeys broken to harness would be VERY useful, especially when you get a place of your own ...
"He's a short little meatball that's a bit apprehensive" 🐎
She knows what she likes 😂
That comment did mess with my brain a bit...
I was a bit hungry too, so thought "meatballs" ??
"With mash and gravy"...
"Where" ??
"I can only see horses" !!!
Love from Norway 😅❤
I love your videos, because you are so good at explaining so many important topixs around handling horses, and I love your reflections on how to handle horses. I have learned so much from you and you are a big inspiration to me - a thousands thanks from me! A funfact about me; I have an arabian mare (same colour as Ziggy) and a yearling after her named Ziggy (he is red thoug). Lots of love and greetings from Denmark! 🩷♥️🎠🇩🇰
HOw cool!
That tall black mare was gorgeous. Mr. Fuzzy burro, too.
Now why did I break out in a huge goofy grin when that first group of burros trotted out? But I certainly did!
Thank you so much for taking us along with you! It looks like a pretty exciting, suspenseful and fun event to be attending. Horse people seem like a good kind of people to hang around with.
I'm so happy to be vicariously enjoying these adventures with you and the rest of the Clever Cowgirl Fan Club here.
Hey Everyone! 👋🏻
I love burros.❤
I couldn’t have said it better myself 💫
I love that you go to auctions and don't buy anything, you're not just collecting animals for views, you're genuinely thinking about whether or not you have the time and energy for a new horse. It's so refreshing to see and one of the many reasons I keep watching.
Thank you so much for this knowledgeable and loving view of the whole mustang/adoption/auction process!
Thank you so much for your knowledgeable, compassionate view of the mustang, auction, adoption process. We hear such negative things.
Thank you Vanity there are lots of us who feel the same way... we love CC
Honestly, I know you’re shy but you’re doing an amazing job! Love your content and passion for horses. Love the energy and educational content that you throw in there.
Thank you!
The stewards horse is so gorgeous, showing the newbies which way to go 💖
A mustang as well!
Yes he's beautiful.
Thanks for the information about the incentive program. Have often wondered how so many mustangs end up at Horse Plus Humane Society after being rescued from the slaughter pipeline. Thanks again for the information. 👍😔🙏❤️
I'm old now but back in the late 80's when I was 'transitioning' out of managing a 1,000 cow dairy our hoof trimmer Toby Richner, was developing the freeze branding option. He'd done a video following young stock over a couple of years as the tatts grew with the animals. Then he took that video and his stats with him to our state capitol and presented it so as to legally offer freeze branding over hot iron branding. Bless his heart; the law was changed, and he started an entire line of employment for people IDing critters. I worked with him on other dairies as they took advantage of the new tagging system over ear tags, what fun. Good to see it's used for these horses. Gave new meaning to tag team as it just takes 30 seconds of pressure to create the tattoo pair. Way less pain and the info is then in white hair, growing larger with the animal. Great idea comes to fruition....
Love your videos. Lets us know what we never learned when we too were horse owners.
So happy you took us to this auction and explained so much about what is going on. So many beautiful animals.
You're right, Scarlett would be a fabulous English horse. Hopefully, she'll go to a home where the owner has a very active riding schedule to keep her mind and body occupied. Scarlett is gorgeous. You have such a great eye. They're all really nice horses.
Most of them seemed in good condition too, even "well-groomed", although that's doubtful as they're described as unhandled.
So nice to see an auction full of well cared for and affordable horses to adopt/buy.
But very sad to see how few of those gorgeous animals were sold.
@@gloriasueb
They may have been adopted or sold post-auction?
@@ElysetheEeveeI hope so
That black gelding was gorgeous ❤
It's refreshing to see an auction that takes great care of the horses under their roof. I've been seeing emaciated, broken legs, and diseases at other auctions.
Hard not to be a kid in a candy store at an event like this. Beautiful horses. Thanks for taking us along...hope they all get adopted and go to good homes. CC, you demonstrated great restraint today 🤭
Thank you for taking the time to show us and educate people about the BLM mustangs..
As usual I'm late to the party but did a quick rewind and enjoyed this so much. If my dear old dad could've picked another life he would've asked to be a cowboy but he was born and bred in the North of England (a proud Yorkshireman mind you) and grew up dreaming of Mustangs while watching movies on the silver screen, because of him my childhood dreams of 🐎 pony ownership came true and watching this video today made me think of him. 😍 Those mustangs were in stunning condition and to see the people working with them so considerately was a pleasure. Sorry to go on but thank you for this glimpse into another world! 💕
Gosh the green hills and blue skies are a tonic to see. It’s a rainy winter Sunday morning here in New Zealand, this is perfect content to watch with a coffee in bed ☕️
There were so many beautiful horses at this sale!!! Thanks for taking us along! I've never seen this type of sale. It was very interesting. ❤
Looks like I missed you while you were there, I took home 2858, the buckskin pinto mare!
Now that I'm thinking about, You sent me the auction video. Thank you! It was super cool!
I was shocked she went so cheap! What a good buy
Congratulations🎉So wonderful
I love Bay horse's ❤️ My first horse was a dark Bay. I Think Bays are beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think bays are beautiful too! One of the many reasons I love this channel - it is not all flashy color and fad breeds. Yay for plain brown ponies! ❤😊
@SunnySunshineField Right ✅️ I don't understand people who judge a horse by its color. First real horse I rode as a really young girl, was a bay thourobred mare and her name was Chance , she was probably one of the best horse I ever rode. She did anything I asked of her. And I rode her bareback and when she would canter , it was like I was in perfect Rythem with her . She was a great horse 🐎 👏 👍 😀
No such thing as a plain bay! Love bays! ♥️
Thank you for taking us along! Enjoy all your content!
Wow, I had no idea how these auctions worked. So interesting.
I am SO glad to see how the process actually works! I have a BLM Mustang from outside of Winimucca (sp?) NV. I live in Upstate NY. I got her from a friend who got her from the original adopter who lives in TX. It's a long story...but I feel so blessed to have this wonderful mare...American Honey. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m obsessed with wild mustangs at the moment. There were definitely some amazing horses at that auction. And the burros were adorable
My favorite is the one at 7:02 in the video. The brown one, with a three white feet, long black tail, black mane and white on his(?) forehead. Beautiful!
This was all very interesting and well explained. First time for me watching a horse auction explained. It’s unbelievable how inexpensive they all are. Less than $500 for a beautiful horse like these? Thank you for posting.
Some stunning Mustangs and some sweet Burro's ...I can't believe how cheap life is in the sale ring....I'd have bought the Burro with the bent ear...🐎
Oooooh! I love horse auctions. Best horse I ever got was a two-year old spotted Bay National Show Horse stud. No one in Cedar City, UT was interested, so I got him for $140. Took him to the vet down the road and had him gelded before taking him home. What a joy to work with and ride English.
This was my first auction, thanks for taking us along with you. I appreciated your take on how and what you look for in your horses and even the burrows. Those were some beautiful Mustangs. 😍
I don't even have horses and live in the city of Philadelphia but I'm addicted to your channel!
Watching this back-to-back from the *Very Expensive* horse auction really is a whiplash experience! I must admit though, the horses in this one tugged at my heart strings more.
I was at this event too but after the auction. There were many decent, promising horses still available for adoption. As horses and burros were adopted and loaded into the waiting trailer you could hear and feel the gratitude among those in the area. It was remarkable to witness. And yes there were a few that caught my attention but I didn't take any home. I have owned my Mustang for 10 years now and wouldn't trade him for anything. By the way the big gelding you see the guy riding is a Mustang and was absolutely amazing to watch. He literally held the ones loose in the alley while the guys sorted without a rider and by a gentle touch from his human moved enough to let the other horse pass through. It's always fun to watch a great partnership.
Yes! That mustang is from Stinking Water HMA in Oregon. He is sooo dreamy!
By the sound of it, you are the perfect owner for sensitive horses. Thank you for your insights.
They are my favorite!
Big smile on my face when I seen your video pop up, hello cowgirl, beautiful horses fur babies❤ I always enjoy your videos no matter what you’re doing. I learned a lot about horses😊 thank you for taking us so long. I really enjoyed it.
Cant believe the high bid on the flashy mares wasn't more, that is crazy, they were all stunning
I know you're already a busy cowgirl but I'm kinda hoping we end up seeing you with a little brown cow pony named Meatball. 😂❤
Studman's name was almost meatball🤣
Tuned in towards the end so will watch it from the start again. Hope the adopted Mustangs and Burros got forever homes with equine savvy committed adopters.
Oh my... I am kind of thankful I live on another continent...I would probably be a horse hoarder if I lived close... So thankful that I can watch through your eyes.
FANTASTIC HOŔSE AUCTION VIDEO. TJHANK YOU. IT WAS AWESOME!!!🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😂😂😂
All these horses are beautiful. I'd be so lucky to own any of them.
This was so interesting!! I hope it helps get some new adopters out to those sales!
Me too! Sounds like they may have more adoption events in Montana next year!
“I spook really easy.” I know the feeling.
The camp I went to as a child rented a gelding for the summer who turned out to be proud cut and would routinely jump a 6-7 foot fence to get out with the mares and fight the geldings
Hellooooo CC Horse Lovers!
Hello!!!❤❤❤
Sigh…. “If wishes were horses…”. I can’t find it now, but I saw a documentary of a Swede(?) who adopted 3-fillies & one colt from BLM, went through a very long and pricey-process of bringing them to Europe to start a herd.
He did a great job of giving the Mustang-history, speaking to natural-selection, called our wild horses one of the best breeds nature could make. Nice to see these horses get global-recognition.
Out of all the horse channels this channel the woman is so kind and gentle. Zero ego despite.being an extremely educated and experienced horse woman. New subsciber.
I’m loving all the Burros. I was eyeing the little shaggy when you said you liked him. So sweet.
what an absolute score on the buckskin mare!!!
In mid 70's, in Adelaide South Australia, I was fortunate to meet a Horse Trainer who saved Brumbies from Culling in the Victorian High Plains. Bub O'Donnell. Brumbies are Intelligent & Nimble, with similar Dexterity to Quarter Horses. The opportunity to ride & interact with these Horses was a Privilege.
I’m a very new equestrian. And I go to a lesson later today! Seeing how you take care of your horses. Give them a good makeover is just awesome. I’m a Huge fan, I really enjoy your videos and your channel! Those horses were just gorgeous!
Those horses were beautiful!
They were beautiful. Good decision on waiting. She will be there waiting for you when time is right. It has always been that way for me. Your love is heart warming. Great job cc.
Love learning the ropes about auctions and seeing it through your seasoned perspective.
Enjoy all your posts. God Bless You.💜😊💜
I really liked that sorrel gelding in the first group of geldings. The one that only had a white sock on his hind foot. He seemed alot more calm than the rest of his group. And seemed alot more curious about his surrounding. More independent from the others in his group. Hope he got a good home.❤
I love how gentle and carefull they are with the horses. I thought it was super stressfull and they'd just chase around the horses and be really forcefull and unkind. This was so nice to watch and I'm so hopefull for all these horses to become a great companion. I loved seeing this auction!
This was the best horse auction video I've seen to date. Some of them are so sickening you can't even watch. I admire your restraint in not buying one of your several lovely choices. 🙂There's always the next time!
Thank you!
That group with the 2 greys I'd bid on all of them they were my types of horses, the chestnut that was in the 3033 group really caught my eye
I really like how a fence requirement is stated ... Horses can clear most things esp if they are scared , saw my mares field mate clear 6 foot and she was 7 months pregnant , had the whole yard running , scared the xhit out of us that day
Watching this brought a tear im not gona lie im 58 now from the UK ,in my 20 s i bought ponies off the welsh mountains and penines and new forest and trained em i hate the term broke to ride n drive my life took a different tack an i havnt had a horse for a long time but i miss em so much i can smell em when ivwatch thanks hin from an emotional ol fart haha wondetful
I am so jealous that you get to go to these events. There is no better way to spend your day outside in the mountain air looking at all those gorgeous animals. Enjoy!!😎
Great video!!! You've got to be commended for your show of self control!!! 👍🏻❤❤❤
I just loved your whole series on halter training Scarlet. I learned so much (even on top of everything I learn from every video you produce). I recommend the whole series, it’s so well done.
There are some *lovely* horses at that auction.
CC, you make the best videos! Easy to understand, focused on the critters, interesting topics. Thank you!
I will probably never own a horse, but I greatly enjoy going along with you and seeing the whole situation of the sale, from the kids in the audience, to the guys managing and moving the animals through the sale, and of course, the horses. I make picks, and see if I match your more experienced choices. I am a man of the sea, but It is great to be a horseman for an hour, tagging along with you. Thanks for a great video.
I love watching these. I learn so much! Thank you, CC.
I so Appreciate...your Calmness...and True Love...💗 for HORSES...!!👍 BLESSINGS... 😊
Thanks heaps for taking us along to see all the beautiful horses....I know what you mean about spooking easily, me too! 😊
Those are bay bay horses how beautiful
I agree to that statement .that,s why I watch the clever cowgirl.❤🎉
Ooohhh, I hope that gorgeous liver chestnut is your latest rescue 🤞
Me too, she’s gorgeous 😍😍🧡
Baby robins moved out so there is a trailer available 😂
I think your personality might be a lot like mine. I spook easily too. I really don't like being around a lot of people but put me around 20 dogs or a barn full of horses and I'm in my happy place. I used to manage a kennel with 67 German Shepards and I used to train dressage horses. But I became legally blind in 2017. Between my blindness and PTSD I get the sneaking up thing. I love watching you (I still have 25% of my eyesight) you truly take the unwanted and give them love and heal their souls.
Many of us feel the same way. Being among groups of people is a relatively recent
part of humanity and modernity. Before the use of fossil fuels starting with coal many
of us worked with animals or in small groups.
Something I really appreciate about your videos is how thorough you are with explaining everything without taking for granted that we know something. I'm not from the US and blm is a complete mystery to me. Your videos are super interesting!
Thank you for your informative posts.
Hello, So many horses nice horses went though that auction. It just breaks my heart that they all could not find good homes. I know it's not a walk in the park to to get them tame and able to be ridden, but what a joy they must be. Love your videos. I get my horse fix through you because at 77 I can no longer afford a horse. Take care
Lovely to see how conscientious and ethical this organization is, with so many requirements and rules to try to protect these animals! I thought I knew quite a bit about horses, but CC offers a huge wealth of information, all very interesting. OMG, I was thinking of Nigel when I saw the little baby burro! 😍🥰
