You can see such a difference between the yearling born in captivity and the gelding who was rounded up, he had so much spirit. God bless these people for working with them
first time horse owner with absolutely zero experience but i manage to gentled and train a wild mustang. you can't imagine the connection you get when you train a wild mustang from day one. you become super attach. I can't imagine having to let it go.
@@Tita09Tx I have to admit at one point I thought I bit off more than I can chew. no mentors, no book, I didn't even know anyone that had horses. I watch a lot of utube on a specific topic. I didn't follow one specific channel because there so many false information. the secret is build trust without scaring then and for my mustang it literally happened over night. once she trusts me, I was able to train her.
A lot of ignorant people in this comment section that clearly haven't spent time with horses but think they know everything because they watch a few youtube videos
Shayla Brynn sorry I honestly thought you were just trying to be ignorant. Don't mind what I said o thought you were about to argue about how bad they are. 💀
Breacchee lol I’m like that to when it comes this kind of debate, people just don’t like to have an open mind. I personally won’t use a bit but don’t mind them😂
I'm sure the hardest part of this work that you do is watching them leave. I nearly teared up when you said you could keep him for a bit longer! You clearly love this horse and did an amazing job with him!
I love the way the guy understand the horse, pressure and release, dominance and submission is a perfect example of how the heard works. Love it! Don't exactly love the bit and spurs but still very educational and knowledgeable video.
I had a friend who had a little Mustang that looked almost exactly like your Rambler. He was the sweetest horse that ever lived and wanted to please in every way. He even had a natural running walk. He was the most pleasant little horse I ever rode.
Great job by everyone involved. It was wonderful that someone paid a good amount of money for adopting a horse at the end but then allowed the trainer to hang on to the horse for some time to come. These folks did a fantastic job and obviously took great pride in their task. Remember, these people are volunteers and are doing a lot of work and spending a ton of time with these animals. Excellent video that will hopefully bring more attention to this wonderful cause. Thank you all and God Bless.
@@notsosilentmajority1 Yes especially mustangs. It's a big event, the same like in the US. We have enough warm bloods and quarter horses, but a Mustang is a Mustang. I think 5 or 10.000€ is the minimum you have to pay when you buy one in the Mustang makeover.
I had a Mustang years ago, she came out of Lovelock Nv... Easiest horse we ever trained! Back in the 80s they did Satellite adoptions but they were pretty much untouched. We picked her up in Whately Mass. She was an excellent parade horse and a good one to put less experienced riders on
To everyone in the comments that are complaining about the bits you should know that their goal is to sell these guys and no one is going to buy a horse that can’t take a bit! Most people in the horse world use bits, going bitless doesn’t work for everyone. Have you tried riding a right off the track thoroughbred? I can’t imagine you have if you think that bitless is the only answer for every behavioral problem.
Folks, a snaffle bit in the mouth is the very, very least detrimental experience most of these horses have or will ever go through. These horses we "meet" in these makeover competitions are the "lucky ones" . They get to become amazing working horses, companion animals or pets. Most of their other herd mates just barely exists in BLM holding pens or are shipped off to Mexico and Canada to be slaughtered for human consumption in Asia and Europe. So, please, bits are the least of the worries here! If anyone commenting here can do better, put yourself up to the challenge of completely transforming a wild horse in three months. Do it bit less or bridle less as some of these competitors have. Best of luck to you!
jennifer sawyer Well said. I love animals and have adopted and trained many different animals in my life. It seems that a lot of people have began this "holier than thou" attitude when it comes to animals. The funny thing is that a lot of them are just keyboard cowboys and know very little or nothing at all about the actual tasks at hand. There is no magic wand that trains a horse or other animal and training has become so much kinder, gentler and smarter than it has been in years past. Instead of know it alls telling everyone how things should be done, they should be doing them themselves. The best thing to say to these people that are volunteering their time and expertise would simply be "Thank You".
I agree with you a loose ring snaffle is super gentle in the mouth. Not sure why people are being so negative. I thought these horses did great. I was sad that rambler got hurt. It makes me sad to read that Canada is still part of the horse slaughter trade. I thought we would be better than that kind of behaviour. SIDEBBAR - if they did bitless and used a hackmore that could be more detrimental to the horse and give it problems.
@@Polopony20. where do you get your info bc 8yrs ago they were definitely "culling the population". I worked with mustangs for yrs and most people that got them at auction or for free couldn't handle them...and most ended up at slaughter houses. 1700 were bought by one person and all slaughtered a few yrs ago
Like one of the other comments, the horses are better off being rescued and trained because of the world we live in is not what it was 50 or 100 years and some of them are sick and need treatment, this couple is doing a wonderful job. BTW those bits might be a little uncomfortable but its not really hurting the animal. GOOD JOB.
I love the Mustangs, all horses. But if i was able to do this....there probably would be many I would keep just because i would get very attached to them, depending upon their disposition or heart. These trainers know what they are doing with their horses entrusted to them.....HIGH 5 to them and God bless their efforts for their part in helping to keep the Mustangs from becoming another statistic of destruction and death. I'm with them on this matter. Training horses isn't an easy matter, it requires a lot of patience, love, and most of all building a trust between you and your horse. Horses are very sensitive and can sense fear or anything else emotional coming from you....I know because i was around one which did so and he was a 4 yr old Appaloosa stud colt and loved to run. God bless these trainers and their efforts to help keep the Mustangs from becoming destroyed or killed. HIGH 5 to all the trainers.
I love when people comment but yet they themselves don't do This. This takes a tremendous amount of skill. And people need to not say anything unless they do it
those two are just so awesome trainers, so confident and relaxed despite what the horses were doing. I wish i could be so confident and relaxed on horses.
I own two Mustangs It's a mare and her colt who were abandoned by their heard ,the mother was extremely sick and passed due to her sickness a week after we found her,the colt was starving so we bottle fed him and called him Opal he was later put with a mare we had who was greiving after the loss of her white paint foal (the foal is in pain when it's born white but supposed to be a paint ,they suffer and we put the foal down afew days after his birth) and it worked out wonderfully It's been a month and Opal is doing great,well fed and is such a joy to have around,it's always fun seeing a once fragile weak foal now running in the pasture playing with all his friends (the mares and their foals are outside all day then inside at night) and doing great in general...saved one life which is all that matters The mare I named Licorice passed but had a happy two weeks of being in a nice cozy stall (she couldn't walk well and had a hard time standing and caring for her colt so we made the decision to put her down once we realized she wasn't getting better at all even with weekly vet visits)
My Mustang came from Eli, Nevada via the BLM who trailered him to Louisville, Kentucky for the adoption. He was a two year old stallion with a dark red coat, Mother of Pearl blaze and socks. He had a heart of gold. This young couple who so very successfully trained their two Mustangs are to be commended for their dedication and hard work. The buyer of High Plains Drifter was smart to ask the trainer and his wife to keep the Mustang for another year. A Win Win situation.
overall a lovely job.one thing i would love to see is for those horses to develope a bit more topline before they are ever ridden.the Horse looked happy and healthy.and you both have a super attitude.
I completly adore this mustang challenge. Kudos to those organizing the event and training these amazing horses. So many bleeding hearts out there want to cry over this, "American, iconic breed", but offer nothing really helpful. I hope one day to do the challenge myself. Maybe just adopt one? I dunno. I just love mustangs.
At the end the buyer bought him/donated top dollar to the BLM so the rider/trainer could keep Difter. Now if THAT's not love then I don't know what is. Blessings✌
I think it would be super cool to do this, I want to do exactly this when I'm older. I want to get young horses from auction and retrain them so they don't need a hard kick or spurs or even bits. I want to train horses that you can ride bareback and with just a neck loop (extra safety), who you can run and jump around in the arena with and they'll play with you, who will feel comfortable around all sorts of animals and objects. I'm liking how these people are being gentle, not rough.
Some good things...some not so good things..and a couple great moments. Pleased to see these were less abusive than many of the "mustang breakers" out there....
Oh man I so truly love ranches like this And despite the severe neopathy (nerve damage) in my legs - I would absolutely love to train horses, Because I absolutely love horses with all my heart and can be around them all All day long :) :) :) :) :)
I believe that the normal life of these pets, especially horses, undoubtedly loves familiarity and daily care from the owner of experience in this field.
I love it, .I want a mustang, gess I should learn how to ride first..lol baby steps..love that he did the cowboy action traing, shows you how far the drifter came, love it.
To gain more security in the saddle, practice figure eights, bend, straight down the center, bend the opposite. Do serpentines, spiral in, spiral out. Transitions. Walk to trot, to Whoa, to trot off, turn, straighten halt, walk off. Keep the heel long, without clothespinning your thighs. When you get tense, your horse thinks you have spotted something, they haven't, they don't know you're worried about what they might do. So get out out of your head.
The woman is a good gentle trainer, but personally I wouldn't start riding until after two months. Ground work, ground, ground work will get the horse understanding much more under saddle.
So funny, because I was thinking... If I had the money I'd try to buy these horses for the trainers to keep. I got a little teary eyed when I leaned at the end that is more or less what the winning bidder did. Kudos...KUDOS!
now this is how u train a mustang. I love mustangs and dream of training them in the future. hoping i can learn some stuff with my rescue Welsh cob pony
Andrew s what? Helps keep the horse safe? No. The bit is for humans who can't ride or is scared of the horse so they can use pain to keep the horse under control. Bits are bad, but because everyone uses it that makes it ok. Stop listening to what everyone wants you to think and use the brain you got.
Karoline Arnii if you’re using bits for pain then you shouldn’t be riding. If you know how use a bit properly it shouldn’t be painful whatsoever and there’s are so many types of bits out there you have to know which one works well with you and your horse together. I use bits on my one gelding but never have I yanked on him I only use slight signals and neck-rein. You can’t assume bits are bad when you probably don’t know all the types of bits out there. Bits aren’t abusive, it’s the people behind that don’t know how to use it that make it cruel.
Great Job! To bad your other horse was injured, although doesn’t that give you the option of keeping that horse too, since your wife got along so good with it!
I'm based in UK - can I just ask - you say go to auction after training - I'm assuming no meatmen will be present ? You all have done an awesome job. It just shows what wonderful horses these guys make. Just maddening that so many beautiful horses seem to end up with likes if the slaughter trade. I can't imagine you would allow this but as I say I'm from UK!
Only about 2 weeks on and they're already shoving a bit into the horses mouth? Shit. I personally hate bits and believe they're unnecessary, but damn. It's a wild horse. You need to take things slow. I'd say to bond with the horse instead of breaking it. Sure, it's a longer process, but it's worth it.
I don't hate bits but I do think they aren't needed. I do think they introduced them to them to early. I am happy they are snaffle bits not some crazy thing that just rips up the horses mouth and is way more then the rider would ever need.
I see lots of arm chair riders in the comments... I understand that the topic of bits and gathering wild horses is a contentious one. But if you resort to threats against other people, you're only hurting your own argument. Take a breath and debate rationally and it might have a better chance at changing someone's mind, instead of you know telling people you hope their families are kidnapped or calling them slurs like several people below are doing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
THANK YOU! Its okay if you like and use bits, its also okay if you dont like bits and ride bitless. I hate how everyone just instantly starts fighting about the subject. Let the peoole have their oppinion and dont fight like some angry toddlers
You're right. It is difficult to make newbs understand, that it's saddle, bridle, start these horses, or many will be destroyed. It shows others, that they can do this, as well. The bit activity will settle, as they respond to the rider's seat more. Sometimes, if you have more than 100 days, bitting work, prior to under saddle work, can help develop "yield" in the green horse, before throwing a leg over the horse.
@@liss2504 It is diffucult to gain collection, balance, and engaging the hocks, in a bitless bridle. Qtr horses, often have that easy low head, which keeps the topline supporting the entire length of the saddle. But, many breeds, have a steeper shoulder, and if the head is high, the back is hollow, the saddle is bridging. The back pain, caused by hollowing out is worse than a bit. If one gives a pre-cue, prior to touching the face. The horse will begin the stop, at the seat drop, and you won't have to touch their mouth. Nice to have in an emergency. One has to be strong, to bring a horse that tries to bolt around into a circle, with bitless bridles, hackamores, or bosals.
I totally agree rogue . If you threaten these poeple what if they decide to not do this anymore . Then you just sent more horses to a horrible life and end . They make a difference even if you don't like there method of training .
Any thoughts put towards a boast or bites method? Even towards the end and in the competition you could see that they both were not liking the bit and gaping their mouths with probable pain.
Great video! Incidentally, this year a bunch have been taken to Germany and a Mustang Makeover competition and auction is being held there in early August 2017, with progress reports being put up on RUclips. See contributions by NativeHorse and MyWildHorse for one example (the videos are superb); without bits and spurs, with liberty and tackless training thrown in.
So what they do is get you to take them home tame them and then at the end they sell them and give you only a bit of the money that's how it works hope that helped
I just came to the comments to see if they said why they had to get rid of his first horse.....and all I find is people talking about others making nasty comments! Dang! These people are doing a great job!! Some horses are just ready for things faster than others...calm down folks. As for the bits...it's not your horse, so you have no opinions that actually matter. End of story!

Except the bit. I've seen quite a few trainers lately who don't need to use one. All it is is painful.
@@deenibeeniable Bits are only abusive in the wrong hands. A hackamore can be just as abusive as a bit
@@briaschalesky6628 you should watch Mia lykke Nielsen. Bits are Intended to cause pain.
@@deenibeeniable they aren’t. It’s simply a different type of pressure. Some of my horses actually prefer bits over hackamores

I own two Mustangs
It's a mare and her colt who were abandoned by their heard ,the mother was extremely sick and passed due to her sickness a week after we found her,the colt was starving so we bottle fed him and called him Opal he was later put with a mare we had who was greiving after the loss of her white paint foal (the foal is in pain when it's born white but supposed to be a paint ,they suffer and we put the foal down afew days after his birth) and it worked out wonderfully
It's been a month and Opal is doing great,well fed and is such a joy to have around,it's always fun seeing a once fragile weak foal now running in the pasture playing with all his friends (the mares and their foals are outside all day then inside at night) and doing great in general...saved one life which is all that matters
The mare I named Licorice passed but had a happy two weeks of being in a nice cozy stall (she couldn't walk well and had a hard time standing and caring for her colt so we made the decision to put her down once we realized she wasn't getting better at all even with weekly vet visits)

@11:30 is there some way to not use a bit. I could not imagine.

@ReviewCam actually no you wouldn't that would be a hefty fine from the BLM maybe even jail time. Plus that horse would die in just a few years.
Same. But I know I'm not ready.

Brooke Boyko they have 100 days to make the horse rideable. I’m sure they would’ve taken more time if they had more.
To gain more security in the saddle, practice figure eights, bend, straight down the center, bend the opposite. Do serpentines, spiral in, spiral out. Transitions. Walk to trot, to Whoa, to trot off, turn, straighten halt, walk off. Keep the heel long, without clothespinning your thighs. When you get tense, your horse thinks you have spotted something, they haven't, they don't know you're worried about what they might do. So get out out of your head.
The woman is a good gentle trainer, but personally I wouldn't start riding until after two months. Ground work, ground, ground work will get the horse understanding much more under saddle.
So funny, because I was thinking... If I had the money I'd try to buy these horses for the trainers to keep. I got a little teary eyed when I leaned at the end that is more or less what the winning bidder did. Kudos...KUDOS!
Great job with the horses!
Thats so sweet that they both got to keep their horses!❤️
i really enjoyed this, well done film, thanks!

I can't wait to have my own horses!
Some of the training clips were making me cringe... mainly the guy. He has the right idea but hasn't quite got there yet..
Lenny Llamaa lol ya I saw that too.
I’m sure U know everything about training horses
Your average Savage and you do?
Lenny Llamaa oh so please tell me, God of training horses, what he’s doing wrong?
Lenny Llamaa yeah, care to explain what he “hadn’t quite got there yet”? And why don’t you go adopt one and do a makeover with it
now this is how u train a mustang.
I love mustangs and dream of training them in the future. hoping i can learn some stuff with my rescue Welsh cob pony
I’m a horse lover I enjoyed this !
All these armchair experts
It doesn't hurt them at all it just helps keep them safe
Andrew s what? Helps keep the horse safe? No. The bit is for humans who can't ride or is scared of the horse so they can use pain to keep the horse under control. Bits are bad, but because everyone uses it that makes it ok. Stop listening to what everyone wants you to think and use the brain you got.
Karoline Arnii if you’re using bits for pain then you shouldn’t be riding. If you know how use a bit properly it shouldn’t be painful whatsoever and there’s are so many types of bits out there you have to know which one works well with you and your horse together. I use bits on my one gelding but never have I yanked on him I only use slight signals and neck-rein. You can’t assume bits are bad when you probably don’t know all the types of bits out there. Bits aren’t abusive, it’s the people behind that don’t know how to use it that make it cruel.
And I'm 100 percent with that I use a Mexican bosal on my ranch horses and if I ever use a bit at the most I use a soft snaffle
thats absolutely beautiful call me a big sap at the end I started balling well done guys .....
off grid Phyllis mathison same
Thank you for posting this!
Oregon has some of the best looking stock. Many I feel are run offs from cattle ranches. Some good bloodlines there.
Great Job! To bad your other horse was injured, although doesn’t that give you the option of keeping that horse too, since your wife got along so good with it!
Giving these horses a second chance. ♡
Beautiful!! I cried at the end tho.
Wow wow wow, can you imagine where he is now. How about an update post?
I'm based in UK - can I just ask - you say go to auction after training - I'm assuming no meatmen will be present ? You all have done an awesome job. It just shows what wonderful horses these guys make. Just maddening that so many beautiful horses seem to end up with likes if the slaughter trade. I can't imagine you would allow this but as I say I'm from UK!
Great job to all 4 of you.
I love this video. I will be looking into buying one
Only about 2 weeks on and they're already shoving a bit into the horses mouth? Shit. I personally hate bits and believe they're unnecessary, but damn. It's a wild horse. You need to take things slow. I'd say to bond with the horse instead of breaking it. Sure, it's a longer process, but it's worth it.
they didn't even shove it in his mouth. my horse is the same way every horse I've worked with is like that.
Fatal 0utKastt
Yeah.... shoving.... people need to stop getting triggered easily
Fatal 0utKastt can u sub to my channel
Ok I agree bits arent the best but they didn't shove it in he/she's mouth. They are pretty experienced and know not to shove it in its mouth
I don't hate bits but I do think they aren't needed. I do think they introduced them to them to early. I am happy they are snaffle bits not some crazy thing that just rips up the horses mouth and is way more then the rider would ever need.
I see lots of arm chair riders in the comments... I understand that the topic of bits and gathering wild horses is a contentious one. But if you resort to threats against other people, you're only hurting your own argument. Take a breath and debate rationally and it might have a better chance at changing someone's mind, instead of you know telling people you hope their families are kidnapped or calling them slurs like several people below are doing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
THANK YOU! Its okay if you like and use bits, its also okay if you dont like bits and ride bitless. I hate how everyone just instantly starts fighting about the subject. Let the peoole have their oppinion and dont fight like some angry toddlers
You're right. It is difficult to make newbs understand, that it's saddle, bridle, start these horses, or many will be destroyed. It shows others, that they can do this, as well. The bit activity will settle, as they respond to the rider's seat more. Sometimes, if you have more than 100 days, bitting work, prior to under saddle work, can help develop "yield" in the green horse, before throwing a leg over the horse.
@@liss2504 It is diffucult to gain collection, balance, and engaging the hocks, in a bitless bridle. Qtr horses, often have that easy low head, which keeps the topline supporting the entire length of the saddle. But, many breeds, have a steeper shoulder, and if the head is high, the back is hollow, the saddle is bridging. The back pain, caused by hollowing out is worse than a bit. If one gives a pre-cue, prior to touching the face. The horse will begin the stop, at the seat drop, and you won't have to touch their mouth. Nice to have in an emergency. One has to be strong, to bring a horse that tries to bolt around into a circle, with bitless bridles, hackamores, or bosals.
I totally agree rogue . If you threaten these poeple what if they decide to not do this anymore . Then you just sent more horses to a horrible life and end . They make a difference even if you don't like there method of training .
Wow. This is great to watch!!
All the horses so cute now they just need care.
0:38 Oh my gosh the horse on the right is bEaUtIfUl 😂
I would like to know why the didn't try to work with the one they took back?
I loved this video/story! Is there any update? Did Rambler's leg heal up nicely? Thank you!
Any thoughts put towards a boast or bites method? Even towards the end and in the competition you could see that they both were not liking the bit and gaping their mouths with probable pain.
That horse the guy is training was not ready to be ridden .. he needs more ground work before he jumps in the saddle.
Lill SportyShorty Let’s see you do it
I have so many questions. How did it go day one? Why did you return one of the mustangs and receive another?
Great video! Incidentally, this year a bunch have been taken to Germany and a Mustang Makeover competition and auction is being held there in early August 2017, with progress reports being put up on RUclips. See contributions by NativeHorse and MyWildHorse for one example (the videos are superb); without bits and spurs, with liberty and tackless training thrown in.
Spectacular work
do you have to enter the competition to adopt a mustang?
Tadanielle no cause at the end they put these horses they tamed for sale hope I helped
So what they do is get you to take them home tame them and then at the end they sell them and give you only a bit of the money that's how it works hope that helped
This was just beautiful
I just came to the comments to see if they said why they had to get rid of his first horse.....and all I find is people talking about others making nasty comments! Dang! These people are doing a great job!! Some horses are just ready for things faster than others...calm down folks. As for the bits...it's not your horse, so you have no opinions that actually matter. End of story!
