My god the legs on that boy. Hes a stocky man. Hes a doll. I cant wait to see more of his story. Just found you, so luckily, I get to binge
Bringing home my first Mustang. Leaving in an hour and a half...learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing.
It's been my dream since I was like 4 to train mustangs and I can't wait intill I am older to START!!
I was the same. It took a lot of hard work, but anyone can get there if they want it! Good luck!
Appreciate the dialogue during the video. It gave good insight into how your using you body language to communicate with him. And how you read his body language. I really liked the part where you read his "cues" and would look away to show your not a threat and to show respect. He seemed "to get it." I don't know why. To me he seemed to kinda like formality in initial greetings. Thank you for sharing the food link. What a great looking horse pen!
Thank you! I am trying my best to make videos that if I could, I would send back in time to my past self. These wild horses have taught me so much.
wow...thumbs up !! you definitely understand horses......!!
Thank you for your kind words!
Gorgeous horse!
Wonderful narration. This is a fabulous video. I can't wait to see the end result after he gets some grooming. He's so well put together and his mane and tail are fabulous.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I am planning on getting a DG Mustang this year . Your teaching is fantastic 🐴 Laura from California 🇺🇸
There are a few still available that need homes at the Double Devil Corrals! They will also be gathering more in the fall that will be available the beginning of next year. They are incredible animals and you will have so much fun!
he is so beautiful!
I can't wait to get him cleaned up and get some weight on him. 😍
Oh he's handsome. Definitely has some draft blood in there!
He's gorgeous, I love him! :)
I have such a soft spot for these chocolate brown guys.
Love the narration!
Awsome work this is my dream wish I could have worked with you on the horses
Adopt a mustang! It's a great experience.
Such a cutie. Will you keep him?
I am not sure yet, but if he gets along well with me and my geldings, there is a possibility!
👍👍👍
Thank you for these wonderful videos. I just brought home my DG gelding. He has been with the same trainer for the past year. Halters, saddles, and rides. I have spent time riding him. However, now at home and away from his person he is experiencing stranger danger. I can get him to smell my hand, eats hay out of my hand, and follows me around the pen..but he still will not allow touch so I can not "catch" him. Any advice!!??
It does take time for these guys to trust new people, but it sounds like you're off to a good start. With touch I give the horses very small goals and work on one body part at a time, and make sure they are comfortable and trusting before moving to the next. If you find he gets upset about being touched in a particular spot, retreat back to the last spot he was comfortable, reward when he is relaxed, and try again. Food rewards help tremendously and you can trade touch for food so that they have an incentive to tolerate it, and will eventually "catch" you! Horses don't generalize touch, so being touched by different people and on different spots are all separate events to wild horses, which is why they get an unfair reputation for being "one-person horses", but this is easily overcome with patience. Hope this helps and good luck! 🧡
@@BreakHabitsNotHorses Thank you so much for responding. Wish you were here in Central OR :) ... Been watching your videos over and over and today major break through!! He allowed me to touch his muzzle, and touch him under his forelock!! He still does not want to touch his neck, but maybe tomorrow. He comes to me for his hay, and does not move away now when I bring it to him.. I could not have done this without your videos!! Thank you!!
@@anna-lenavikstrom2761 Oh, that's great news! I've found that small 10-20 minute sessions once or twice a day gets things moving faster than longer sessions, so small progress is perfect!
@@BreakHabitsNotHorses That is what I have been doing.. baby steps! Again Thank You! Wish I could send you a picture of him! He looks quite a bit like Griffin!
Is he penned adjacent to other horses? Do you feel being able to see other horses would help or hinder their progress? Trying to plan a paddock setup where I'd bring home a mustang where my mare lives.
Yes, I have two pens side by side, one horse in each, and the main herd can also walk up to these pens. They relax a lot sooner and can focus on training when they don't feel alone.
How soon after you bring them home do you start working them like this?
Same day or next day usually. The sooner they learn what to expect, the easier it is on them.
So I tried training with rope to get him to work and move but he won’t make contact at all now. He used to eat alfalfa out of my hands now he barely does. What do I do to fix this. He doesn’t face me unless I bring his bag of food and follows me when I hang it. How do I regain trust?
Neat! How do you clean their pen? Do you have problems with it?
No problems! I just use a stall fork to clean up what my roosters haven't already spread.
Is it possible to do this in a smaller space? The mare i am working with is in a double stall and there is no way to get her into a pen until she is halter broke.
It really depends on the horse. Some horses can get dangerous when they feel trapped, some do well in smaller spaces.
You and ryan rose should meet.
If I were you, I'd work in a round pen so he can have better escape routes, and not feel cornered so neither if us get injured 0-0
Different people train with different methods. This is what works for me and many others.
@@BreakHabitsNotHorses I understand, it's just an opinion of mine, it bothers me personally when you have corners but yeah, to each their own
You will notice the lesson of this video is to draw him towards me and off the fence, so corners do not matter. For trainers that immediately go in and push their horses out onto the fence, it would matter more.
