Thanks so much for this video. Watching it I finally realized why my mustang is still so nervous around me. I was looking him straight in the eyes and faced him. So today I looked down and turned my body away from him pretty much the entire time and was able to pet him all over and he exhaled and finally lowered his head. Great success! Keep the videos coming!!!

I do NOT agree with BLM policy either, but take your grievance up with them, not with the people who are actually helping horses.
For someone who doesn't know horses, this is an amazing video. Your body language on approach is telling her that you are polite, not threatening. Frequent releases tell her you won't ask too much of her. Returning to her over and over tells her that you are a new presence in her life, so she needs to get used to you. Your calm and steady way of working with her tell her you can be a leader she can trust.
I really love how calm and patient you are with them and I really like how you show a good portion of each part of your process. A mustang came to my barn about a year ago and I was asked to help gentle her for her to be rideable and I remember using some of your tricks to help and it worked!!! I really love watching these videos it’s amazing to see how a wild animal can gain your trust
Hannah Hanimals you and a handful of other people probably younger than me are keeping me on these comments so if you want me off this chat you'd want yourself to stop!
Wow, I can't believe how amazingly she handle all that noise around her & you in there with her!! You did a very good job of picking this girl out! Can't wait to see how she comes along.
I know y'all are gonna go so far. Your patience, taking your time and not rushing her, keeping her confident while also introducing direction combined with her contemplating and complying demeanor is such an amazing pairing. I love how y'all are even starting to get the beginning of "hook and draw" on this first day! That trust and communication is so, so very important to establish from the start. Don't listen to the negative Nancys out there. Keep doing what you do, cause they are right! These mustangs and horses are so lucky to have you, especially since you are some of their first inclinations of humans. "Saving just one horse will not change the world, but surely it will change the world for that one horse." -Unknown. You are an inspiration to many :)
Hannah Hanimals I do not disagree with everybody who hates her I disagree with you and your bullying, baby I was just stating my opinion then you turned it into a fight
@@summerpottruff9217 No i didnt! Im not the one going around and cusing in some comments! Im trying to stop you guys from all this. This is out of hand! I cant belive your gonna blame me for starting a fight?! Now im just sad and really mad that you blame me for starting a "fight" thats not even a fight. Im trying to understand how this is all abuse?
She's a beautiful mare and very level headed, glad to see there's still trainers out there that take there time and not to rush the progress you are a awesome trainer and we sure need more trainer's out there like you. Keep up the great work..
@@Clodsodclod When a horse licks and chews, it is releasing tension. It is a sign that the horse experienced something stressful or frightening, but is calming down again.
@@summerpottruff9217 I mean that's cool if you want thousands of horses starving to death. The land can't support the number of horses currently in those regions. Food and water are getting even more scarce and horses are destroying the landscape and making it hard for native species to survive. The BLM program is a humane way to control the population and maintain the land for all species (including horses)...but you go ahead and keep your uninformed opinion.
Shes beautiful💖her personality seems very sweet. She really seemed to like having her face and neck scratched, when you pulled it away she was like hey! That felt really good! Can't wait to see your progress with her.and the mustang in the next pen cracked me up lol. I hope he was taking notes🤣
She's so pretty to watch. I think she did beautifully this first session with all the racket going on close by! In a way it was probably good because she was able to put that distraction aside and focus on you. So, with that in mind, I think she will be a great horse. She stayed focused on you despite those men talking and welding. That was a major teaching/learning experience for her!!👍👏😊
Nice first day !! She is beautiful and calm, even with all the noise . This will be fun to watch you work her . Hopefully you'll get a larger pen to work in, she not a mini ;)
I was interested in the comment about her not having much room in that little enclosure. I wondered about that before you brought it up. I know a little about dog training. A dog on a short leash is likely to be more anxious than the same dog on a leash a few inches longer. Short leashes deprive dogs of options to flee, so they have more of an edge than when they're on a leash that gives them more room to escape.
Oh my god, the noise! You maintained your cool! I haven’t gotten a read on her yet, but thought the session was great even with the teeny tiny space you had to work in. She sure is pretty. Another name thought...Toasty. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. So happy to watch video! Thanks!
It’s amazing seeing the transformation on these beautiful creatures! I’m glad there are people like you who have the knowledge, patience, and love to work with them! Keep it up!
I’m amazed how relaxed she was the whole time. There’s something about her a sweetness and gentleness. I’m in love with her already. As soon as I saw her face. She just seems extra special. She’s blessed to have you in her life and it seems you’re quite blessed too. So excited for the next video. It’s sounds so silly but I just want to gv her a big ole hug. Early for that. Idk I just love her.
She is gorgeous! I also agree with all the positive comments - you do a great job training them and have so much patience and consistency. You also communicate with them in a way they understand. It's no wonder they build such a bond with you! Great work! The mustangs are lucky to have you in their corner. :)
Hannah Hanimals actually I do not disagree with this video lmao 😂🤣 I disagree with some of the positive comments and my mom is a certified horse trainer and a darn good one lol she uses some of the same trickles as Sam!
Now I remember why I'm not into horses, man that's a lot of work. Our family used to deer hunt with horses, until those damn 4 wheelers started tearing up the cojntryside. My pops owns a few still, you are a patient lady.✊
Thank you! Is that typical for you to get that far the first day of training? It seems like you two got far. I look forward to observing someone because timing and feel is essential. Sharing your experiences is a great way for me to observe until the right time. Thanks again, Laural
You have done really well, despite the noise and work going on. Lovely horse. How long is the challenge? Also it looks like as the day goes on you get more sunburnt 😂
@@SamVanFleet Hi mam❤💖 sam I'm a🌹 boy Zayed from India🌺 I want to join in your life💘🌺 for your support for your horse yard for your help plz🙏💖❤ you call me to you❤💕 plz🙏
Aww, so calm, especially being your all’s first day and all the noises and building going on all around! So...how’s your skin feelin?! As the video went on, you could tell you weren’t used to the Texas sun, lol. Hope ya have some Aloe Vera or somethin cooling🌞🔥 😉😊❤️
Obviously, she knows what she’s doing and she wasn’t using the “stick” as you called it to harass the horse. I was surprised the horse wasn’t spooked by all the noise of the equipment.
Apparently, it wasn't that big of a deal, but I can't imagine trying to start a mustang on the first day with all that noise and other activity going on right there. Although it looks like she handled it fairly well, it seems like it would be really distracting and stressful. Would you prefer a slightly larger round pen to that square pen? It was nice meeting you last Friday there at Pauls Valley. I didn't realize you were shooting video when I said hi and it was a surprise hearing myself on the video you posted the other day. Didn't mean to interrupt anything. Best of luck with her. I'm sure she'll turn out great!
Mark Dunlap Hi! I’m lucky I got one that was able to think through it a little bit. She did have about two days of sitting there getting used to it before I even went in with her at least. She was a little distracted but I was able to grab her attention for a bit! I’ve worked her in the roundpen since this video
This is great, I love seeing the process and that you describe what you’re doing. Is this all just in one day? How many hours did you sit with her? Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge.
I have a quick question: At the beginning around 1:25, when the guys are talking and they kind of bang on the bars. Is that a part of desensitization before they continued working on the fences or were they not supposed to really do that? I'm not trying to make trouble, i'm just genuinely interested if it was a small desensitization practice?
I love your training method it is helping me with training my horses maybe one day I can get a mustang too. Also I think a beautiful name for her would be Zoe pronounced Zo she is drop dead gorgeous and VERY smart I think she is going to be a fantastic horse
You made a good choice she's beautiful . I used to have a Dun mare to and I also owned a great great grandson of the famous wimpy he was a stud and he was fantastic and beautiful. He was very gentle 4 stud. I used him for a lot of breeding and pleasure riding I even rode him in our Christmas parades and did a lot of racing with him he was very fast. He was the kind of horse that would rather die than let another horse get in front of him . he was a fantastic horse and I wish I still had him but that's been a long time ago in the late 70s. I started training police dogs for years and retired now but still love horses more than dogs and I was very very good with dogs but never had a chance to learn how to train horses. I wish I could have because the lord gave me a gift 4 animals. Not to brag or anything but I have a fantastic gift and still do it just comes naturally what to do but needed training with someone 2 start me off like I did with dogs. It's a long story but an amazing Story how I went on to train police dogs knowing more than the trainers did. how to train them it was amazing how I knew all these things that just came like common sense. I myself don't even know how I don't know knew all that came natural to me how to train them but I did I just call it a gift from God
Pretty amazing, nice work. I have no education in horses but curious why another trained horse is not used in pen next door for wild one to learn from?
Hard to tell just from these clips, she seems to me a headstrong calm. She composes herself quite well despite the stress. Of course, this is just a fraction that we see and she might not be headstrong and composed at all and might be her true colors wont even shine through just yet.
She is such a pretty mare. I was wondering how long do you work with them each day. P.S. Love your videos you inspire me so much to also work with mustangs someday
@@summerpottruff9217 Actually im not!😁 I dont like small spaces or stalls where a horse cant move around. That horse can move around plenty. Have you ever seen a tiny area people put horses in which is discusting. This area is only temporary like she said.
Hi mam❤💖💖💖❤❤ Hannah I want to join in your horse journey plz🙏 in I'm a boy Zayed from India🌺 I'm still single and good human I'm 32 year I'm really very excited for your support💪💖
I know you said this pen is too smll for your taste. What size pen do you prefer for them? I know I've seen your other videos, but don't recall off the top of my head. Thanks!
Rebecca Cox hey! This is cool for her to hang in while she still isn’t 100% gentled, but I don’t prefer to work them in this size pen. I like a roundpen, around 40-60’ in diameter to start them in. Once their gentled I’ll work them anywhere and they can live in any size pen/pasture!
I'd call her Jasper or Jasmine for her color. Or Lana she reminds me of a lion and a star. Or Pia, I just like the name. She has kind of an exotic eye...
Hello Sam. I have a question for you or whoever. I have a horse that rears he just started under the saddle but this is I don't want to thing. Is there anything I can do to stop him? In all my time I have never seen someone stop this stupid action. So if you have anything that I can try please help
I love the video! Maybe you can figure out how to mute the audio so sounds aren’t and issue and voice over? Just a thought I know it takes a lot of time :)
Honey Mint Hey! I wasn’t sure what to do for this video... I was thinking about muting it but decided to leave it. My next videos won’t be even near as noisy :)
I don't know anything about horses so this is a legit question..does wild mustang mean that horse was running out in the wild before this and was caught or something?
Hi! This horse had been in holding for 3-years. Prior to that, she had been in the wild. With an increasing wild horse population, resources have become limited. When a certain herd area runs out of food or water, they gather the horses so they can feed them in a contained pasture. It also helps slow the population growth down... there's currently 60,000 more wild horses than the appropriate management level. Programs like this one, the Extreme Mustang Makeover, help get these wild horses gentled and accustom to the domestic life :)
Serious question because I don’t know that much about horses but is she overweight or is this what you want? I guess I was expecting something more skeletal for a wild horse. It’s a testament to their good treatment I guess! Thanks for educating horse ignorant folks like me.
She looks like she’s a good weight, for an untouched horse this is fine. If she were already being ridden for a while before this, it would be a little concerning but that’s a normal weight for a horse that hasn’t been touched.
Jessica Spaid hey! I actually like when they have a good amount of weight on them when I pick them up- it means I can get right to gentling/work with them without worrying about them losing too much weight from stress :) I really like her weight though.
Thanks so much for this video. Watching it I finally realized why my mustang is still so nervous around me. I was looking him straight in the eyes and faced him. So today I looked down and turned my body away from him pretty much the entire time and was able to pet him all over and he exhaled and finally lowered his head. Great success!

She's an interesting color, looks like a champagne. That's got to be pretty rare in the wild.

I myself don't even know how I don't know knew all that came natural to me how to train them but I did I just call it a gift from God
She is so smart and well mannered! I think she's going to turn out amazing!
love the video
lol looks like you're gonna need some Aloe vera for those sunburns
Pretty amazing, nice work. I have no education in horses but curious why another trained horse is not used in pen next door for wild one to learn from?
That really only works works if you have an adult and a baby
Still voting for Melly/Mellow for name. This mare is a gem :)
Oh I Love this for her! She really is so mellow and calm natured!
Speaking of gems, I like the name Amethyst
Hard to tell just from these clips, she seems to me a headstrong calm. She composes herself quite well despite the stress. Of course, this is just a fraction that we see and she might not be headstrong and composed at all and might be her true colors wont even shine through just yet.
@@ohsillymelly so I was not the only one who saw the head toss which says "move back". It will be interesting but I would bet your right.
A gem for abuse!
She is such a pretty mare. I was wondering how long do you work with them each day.
P.S. Love your videos you inspire me so much to also work with mustangs someday
I was wondering the same thing
@@summerpottruff9217 Actually thats a pretty big "stall"😂 how is that to small?
Jenna Clark Hey! I’ll answer this in another video :) but I do short frequent sessions. I’ll try to get an exact number for the next video!
Hannah Hanimals I didn't say 'stall' also do you specialize in standing up for to small spaces I'm starting to think so...
@@summerpottruff9217 Actually im not!😁 I dont like small spaces or stalls where a horse cant move around. That horse can move around plenty. Have you ever seen a tiny area people put horses in which is discusting. This area is only temporary like she said.
She is a very smart and beautiful mare!!! You guys are goimg.to.do amazing!!!!
Hi mam❤💖💖💖❤❤ Hannah I want to join in your horse journey plz🙏 in I'm a boy Zayed from India🌺 I'm still single and good human I'm 32 year I'm really very excited for your support💪💖
Can you show us how you help them to not kick when picking up their feet
Is that stick from Clinton anderson?
How did you learn how to do all this training with horses
Great choice Sam. She is so sweet:-) Marion
Ok so I’m just wondering, but what are some really good tips to training a horse?
put the horse in a river and hold onto the halter the horse isnt going anywhere and will be broken very quickly
I know you said this pen is too smll for your taste. What size pen do you prefer for them? I know I've seen your other videos, but don't recall off the top of my head. Thanks!
Rebecca Cox hey! This is cool for her to hang in while she still isn’t 100% gentled, but I don’t prefer to work them in this size pen. I like a roundpen, around 40-60’ in diameter to start them in. Once their gentled I’ll work them anywhere and they can live in any size pen/pasture!
How can people get involved in training or buying mustang makeover horses?
looking a little crispy there girl might wanna double up on the sunscreen
I feel like the name Webb is very fitting
Did you name the mare 🐴yet ?
I love you channel
Why didn't you start this video after you finished building the mustang pens?
Will you keep her? Lovely horse
No
You could see it on her face when she decided you guys were friends.
Nice job! Do you plan to stay in Texas for awhile? Where is that place? I hafta wear longsleeves, cap, and sunscreen or I turn into a lobster...
Smart girl with a great thinking mind!!
Thank you
I'd call her Jasper or Jasmine for her color.
Or Lana she reminds me of a lion and a star.
Or Pia, I just like the name. She has kind of an exotic eye...
Pull away quicker even if an ear twitches. Round your shoulder. You might get a quicker response.
Your doing well with her
Hello Sam. I have a question for you or whoever. I have a horse that rears he just started under the saddle but this is I don't want to thing. Is there anything I can do to stop him? In all my time I have never seen someone stop this stupid action. So if you have anything that I can try please help
Do you get to bring them home to train
You look exactly like my horse trainers sister or her that’s weird but cool by the way great job and yes I’m late
So what color is she? Buckskin? Beautiful horse...very good choice in my opinion
not a buckskin a chestnut
@@beverlya6338 Interesting- she didn't look like a chestnut to me, but maybe the lighting was just off
@@beverlya6338 pretty sure she's buckskin.
Buckskin
Sorry if this comes out mean or rude) Are you very tan or sunburnt
Both! Lol
How about Lila (short for lilac) for her name? Pronounced Lie-leh or kinda like Isla but replace the i and s for L and i
She is beautiful
I love the video! Maybe you can figure out how to mute the audio so sounds aren’t and issue and voice over? Just a thought I know it takes a lot of time :)
Honey Mint Hey! I wasn’t sure what to do for this video... I was thinking about muting it but decided to leave it. My next videos won’t be even near as noisy :)
I don't know anything about horses so this is a legit question..does wild mustang mean that horse was running out in the wild before this and was caught or something?
Hi! This horse had been in holding for 3-years. Prior to that, she had been in the wild. With an increasing wild horse population, resources have become limited. When a certain herd area runs out of food or water, they gather the horses so they can feed them in a contained pasture. It also helps slow the population growth down... there's currently 60,000 more wild horses than the appropriate management level. Programs like this one, the Extreme Mustang Makeover, help get these wild horses gentled and accustom to the domestic life :)
She's actually super chill.
I've worked with some 'rideable' horses that would have absolutely lost their minds with all that noise going on.
Serious question because I don’t know that much about horses but is she overweight or is this what you want? I guess I was expecting something more skeletal for a wild horse. It’s a testament to their good treatment I guess! Thanks for educating horse ignorant folks like me.
I was wondering the same.. or if she accidentally picked up a pregnant horse lol
She looks like she’s a good weight, for an untouched horse this is fine. If she were already being ridden for a while before this, it would be a little concerning but that’s a normal weight for a horse that hasn’t been touched.
Jessica Spaid hey! I actually like when they have a good amount of weight on them when I pick them up- it means I can get right to gentling/work with them without worrying about them losing too much weight from stress :) I really like her weight though.
She is so calm!!! Wow!
OMG Sam is a complete badass! 😀
