- While I did touch my new wild mustang on the first day, I wasn't too sure if it really counted!😂 Either way, I was happy to touch her and happy that she was ok being in such a close proximity to her, and so soon! Tag # 2637 (Not yet named) is my newest wild mustang. She is a 4 year old from the Goshute HMA, in Nevada. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss her upcoming videos of the gentling process! She will be available for adoption to a loving home after being gentled. Go to www.projectequ... for more information on how to adopt.

My name is Britta and this is my experience as an everyday person learning how to train mustangs. I’m what I call a “project equestrian” This is not training advice or recommendations, and many of the methods you see will be changing over the course of time as I continue to learn and grow.

I love your method here its LITERALY gain trust, then train same thing works with dogs, you first get trust if needed, then you train I use negative on my dog top, same way pressure and release I actually did it to stop her from pulling on her Haiti head harness....yeah needless to say a pop in response to slight pulling stops pulling after 5 times repeat multiple occasions and BAM no more pulling, also with dogs once older 6-9 months + deppending on the dog then you set em up to the bad behavior and do the negative and BAM the dog gets the hint do it multiple times with a few items and unlile a horse you dont gotta do it with every item but deffintly a few to get the command/behavior solid
That touch definitely counts!
haha! It was some amusing first touches to be sure😂
This is just a suggestion, but I thought the name Mockingjay for her is pretty cool! She is so cute to watch, I am excited to see more progress!
oh that is pretty! Thankyou!☺
This is an AWESOME thing u do for animals that, otherwise, would be sent to the glue works. It's a rough road for these wild ones! Such an awful plight...
On a lighter note... I like Ebony! Shorten to Ebby or Ebs. I think it works!
I like Nightingale (new sub)
@@GingerNinja1 Yeah that's a really good name too!
I never tire of all the snorting 😂 And yes! That touch totally counts! I envy whoever eventually adopts this beautiful girl, she's such a looker!
I love what you do! This is how I used to tame animals... food, outwaiting them and, when they allow it, touch. And yes, it counts. She can't be unaware of you, she was smelling you when she was pulling alfalfa out of your hand.
Weather you went to her or she went to you, first contact was made. And she absolutely knew it was you when she pushed on your arm. I doubt you’ll ever do two exactly the same, but you will find what works for you. Not sure it matters which road you take as long as you get to the destination.
Black Mare is a beauty my friend! Yes, I would say that the first touch counted when she touched your hand, sure! Great job! 😍😚😙🐎
Yes it counts.
She’s a real beauty!🤎I’m looking forward to watching her transformation!!!
Quick name suggestion!
Sapphire?
I named a horse sapphire that looked identical years ago and I thought she suited it very well. Can't wait for more updates!
Girl… YOUR LIVING THE DREAM, what a wonderful way to spend your time and money! Both you and the mustang mare- Go Girl Go.
It was a first touch, this is a delight to watch, thank you!
She's beautiful. Congratulations!
Beautiful mare. Good luck with your efforts!
What fun!! I'd love to have a Mustang. Did you know you are actually using positive reinforcement even though you may not know it? She gets alfalfa for approaching you. ☺️ I do like her brain!
Yes..patience is the key. You and she are doing wonderful.
I really love the name venture for her it’s so pretty and she seems pretty curious ❤❤❤
She is a real beauty!!! ❤️
SHES SO CUTE. She has a similar build to my mustang.
You do great work keep it up the good work Love your videos
of course that counts! she's such a little beauty. she may spook but she comes right back. for some reason my cat is fascinated with this horse video! 😸
Those flies are driving her crazy.
I would certainly count it as a first touch! And she even came back and nudged your hand out of the way. 🥰👍
You speak much like another channel.
Really Graceful.
If you are RG double cheers to you;
3:19 so cute!!! And I think that counts❤❤❤ also I would call her Melisa, Luna, Eva, Saffron or Willow
Oh those are pretty! I'll. have to add to my name list☺
@@TheProjectEquestrian Awwww thank you❤❤❤❤
I am sure you already have a name for her, as you have had her a while now, but if you do need any ideas then I adore these black bird names;
Jackdaw, and Magpie! I just love how Magpie sounds, and Jackdaws are the most gorgeous birds! Good luck with your journey with her!
Great work. I almost adopted one of these mustangs.
my favorite thing with new horses and building that trust was just taking naps by the pin and pile of hay......i would go from sitting or napping at the outside of the pin right by the hay pile and the water bucket to leaning up against the water in side the round pin till the point the horse would start sniffing and nudging me after that things were pretty easy even if that stage could take up to a month it led to alot less fights when it came to saddle training because the horse already knew i wasn't trying to hurt it.
That counts 🙂. I enjoy watching your videos. She beautiful ❤️
Because of her coloration, you could always call her Evening Star or Night Star. Star for the mark on her forehead evening or night because of the rest of her coloration. Star for short. Because I see a star in her, and she is going to shine brightly. She's a smart mare
Oh, she's a lovely horse! Yes, that was a first touch. I think she likes you already!
i cant wait to see her personality pop out!!
Your still shows she has a good eye
There are really cool names for a beautiful black mare: Black Rose, Interstellar, Ninja, Charcoal, Batgirl, Black Panther, Black Pearl, Storm, BlackBerry, Star, Pepper, November, Night, Thermosa, Arrowheart, Mirror, Raven, Ballerina, BlackSwan, NightQueen, Shadow, etc…
I live near the Goshute HMA and drive through it frequently. Do you know when she was gathered or how old she was? I'll start looking through my pictures!
That would be cool! She was born in 2018, and her capture date was 8/12/21
She's absolutely beautiful ❤️ here's some names I thought of relating to her grace and beauty..... Amara, Arabella, Alina, Astrid❣️
This is an awesome thing you do for animals that would, otherwise, be sent to the glue works. These wild ones really got it tough!
I've a name for her... EBONY... shortened to Ebby or Ebbs.
CAN'T WAIT to see her properly shod and filled out.
I think Blackmare is quite a good name , but because of the white sock maybe you could call her Little Blackie after the True Grit horse ?
She is so SWEET!
My suggestion for a name is "Gypsy" from a 50's movie about a black horse named Gypsy. I think it was called Gypsy come home. It was one of my favorite childhood movies ❣️🤠
Love it!
I actually named my own horse Gypsy. 🤗 She's a bay, but I loved that movie so much.
She’s beautiful
I would name her Hekate or Nyx. Both dark goddesses. And both gorgeous beyond measure ❤️
That definitely counts! She is so lovely. I think you should call her Ebony or Beauty 🥰
Name suggestion: Unity
to me she looks like a pitch black raven
.... I thought it was me who spooked her, as I had moved my finger, to give the thumbs up, and she turned away ... LOL 😂 ... 🤔 ... 😳 .....
😂😂😂😂
I was thinking like milky or mocha
How about halo? Or raven or amity shadow? Lily
If you need a name suggestion I always loved the name Dakota or Onyx. Also Dio is a cool name.
I think she knew she was touching your hand. Sneaky!
Also, she has a really advanced stomach ulcer. Note the bite marks on her left rear stomach
How about Shady Lady.
Why does she do the nose snorting stuff?
Omgosh loving this- and subscribed!
I think a very feminine name-
Bat Girl
Raisin
Black Beauty Cutie
Midnight Maven
You’ll have to discover her personality first and then the name will come?
Raven
She is going to be a pretty mare.
Joy
so cute
hii, i lov ur channel! ❤
since this cutie hasn’t got a name yet, here some ideas
- lain
- curry (don’t ask, i think it would suit her)
- franz
- jo
- amie
It’s too bad the bugs are driving her nuts. She might be a lot more calm without them, but not much you can do about it at this stage.
what about honey for her name
Names: Black Diamond...Jet..
I have a name for her, Lunaire ^w^
Sadly not a wild mustang anymore
she's beautiful (other than needing a good bath lol)
It's either 'leery or 'wary'. It is never 'weary, which means tired or fatigued.
It Must be such a horrible Trauma to be seperated from your herd. Why Americans are doing that? Is it because of appropriation of land? I am European, so I would like to unterstand. Thank you! 🤗
I personally love changing the method per horse! Great job with your horses! I think that counts as a pre-first touch! That way you can celebrate it twice! 😂 She seems pretty brave!
Thank you! Im trying my best to be adaptable. Mustangs are so much fun - they really do make you problem solve! Haha and I love the way you think! that's a good way to put it😂
@@TheProjectEquestrian Haha! Thanks! They sure are!
It makes perfect sense to me to use a different method with each horse due to the fact that they have their own personalities and character traits.
@@Michele-rt5he Exactly!
She’s beautiful and seems to be really sweet. I can’t wait to find out what name you decided on.
Love this video. (New subscriber here.) Looking forward to your journey with "the black" (words from The Black Stallion). Love horses when they snort. Reminds me of the scripture at Job 39:19-21 (God questions the man Job): "Are you the one who gives the horse its strength? Do you clothe its neck with a rustling mane? Can you cause it to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is terrifying. It paws the ground in the valley and exults mightily; It charges into the battle." (the movie Secretariat quoted these Bible verses). She's beautiful. Best wishes on gentling your new mare. 🐎
yes, the touch counts. I admire your persistence. Most of us could not sit motionless for that long. She'll be a good horse in no time.
A horse’s thought process differs from it’s reacting to stimuli. Range horses follow “flight or fight” in open spaces, but when confined to smaller spaces (just like a domesticated horse) they will display F I C A, fear-ignore-curiosity-acceptance. This is their “school” of learning how to think about a situation. I find this display of behavior profound in figuring out a horse’s strengths and weaknesses. Individual demeanor based on genetics and environmental exposure will influence the amount of time it takes to transition from one stage to the next. Equus is an active work of art in progress!
Hats off to you for embarking on such a worthwhile cause and much needed help in managing the wild herds of America.
The fact that she is dependent on you as her sole food source recreates the opportunity for bonding that happens between a foal and its mother, whether natural or adopted. The long trip and weight loss will be in your favor in this regard.
Oh she's so lovely! It's wild how such a small movement like adjusting your neck spooked her..
Makes sense that she's from Nevada - drove through back when I was a kid and we saw a herd near the road, almost all we're super dark colors like her! Black or very dark bay.
I think she's my new favorite of your mustangs 😄
I know, right! They are very on edge when the arrive. I so wish I didn't loose the footage of Sparrow in during this process :( She was pretty mild compared to Sparrow😅
Hi! I love your videos and your horses! i was wondering about the name Nova or Eclipse for her? I think that could be quite fitting 😃
Edit: or maybe Blackbird?
I like Eclipse a lot! I think she's going for bird names though (Sparrow, Jeager, hopefully I spelled that right, and Merlin)
Yeah, i did think that, i also thought of Starling but didnt think it would fit
You've got all kinds of great name ideas!☺
@@Mustangsinfinity yep! I am ☺
Looks like the hooves need management and the bugs ! But, she’s brand new so looking forward to her journey
Rogue chicken!
😂😂
She’s really pretty , takes alot of patience . I had a horse named Mandy and I loved that name . She passed two years ago. I miss her so much .
With my first mustang - and second and third - I'd just go out and sit by or in the round pen with them to read a book. Just ignore the horse completely and move naturally, and invariably they got curious and comfortable with it. My first one also wouldn't take treats until she saw me eat them first, the latter two learned to eat them by watching the first. The first one never would eat carrots, though... my dog loves carrots, so she'd take them and give them to the dog. Instead, her favorites were bananas (with or without the peel), cinnamon gummy bears and old-fashioned peppermint 'puff' candies'. She insisted on trying everything else she saw me eat, too, but she never did like oranges no matter how many times she insisted on trying them. Personality really makes a difference with them. My first two were chosen because I liked their attitude and confidence, and both were hands-on within three days. The third... my father chose because she was pretty, and the BLM threw in for $25 to go with the second because they couldn't get anyone to adopt her. Hare-brained red-headed pain in the... well, suffice to say that the red dun took a few weeks, rather than three days, to be reliably hands-on. Fortunately, she was later placed with someone who was a perfect match for her, and they still adore each other. Sometimes, it's finding the right person for the horse. It's not a generic fit.
I adore her!! ♥ What a gorgeous girl. Two names came to me - Raven and Magpie "Maggie". All the best to you and your new Mustang 💞
I guess well see. I favor a name that suggests the place where she came from. I would just call her "Goshute" or "Goshute Raven." Simply "Raven" is seems pretty good.
Name ideas;
Dahlia
Fay
Nero
Calypso
Be interested to see what breeds she from her long barrel that narrows at the back. You dont see that very often.
She's gorgeous😍 How about Raven for a name?
Love that! And it fits the bird theme!
I love too!!
Love it!☺
I love your vids and I think black jack or Kylo
Awww I'm from Vermont and she's so pretty!
Мне нравятся методы, которые не повышают стресс а стремятся к его снижению при первом контакте. Это только на первый взгляд может казаться дольше, но если спешить некуда - зачем спешить? :)
call her spookey or Raven or even Velvet there pretty just like her
Ooooh, Raven! Nice!
Thank. you! love it☺
@@TheProjectEquestrian your welcome
The way I started with a badly abused mare. 5 years to turn her into a 4 time state champion and 5 time honor roll horse. I'm on her in my avatar
She has to be the pretties mustang mare I've ever seen. Also in my opinion I think Raven might be a good name for her.
She IS lovely and you are adorable ❤ can’t wait to know her name ❤
How about "Raven"? I thought of how dark haired women used to or still are? referred to as "raven haired".
And it just sounds strong, you know?
I've been watching Steve Young's videos who works with difficult to handle horses. He discourages feeding horses from your hand. His believe is that it makes the horse dominant. Obviously you have experience with these wild horses. I've heard the best horses have some wild Mustang mixed in. It's said that they have more horse sense. It's going to be interesting to see how you get the bridle on her for the first time.
Steve Young works in the UK with horses who have been handled since birth as they do not have wild horses there and every horse is microchipped to show where it came from. Steve Young's advice and this is a general barn rule is because horses that are incredibly comfortable with people and then are fed treats from the hand can learn to expect them and become very pushy and fingers can look a lot like carrots so I've seen really nice lesson horses bite kids when they would never have done that if a person had not been over feeding them with treats. People from riders to owners also don't understand behavioral science so a treat or positive positive reinforcement like food can only happen when you mark a certain wanted behavior. If the horse does a task and you then choose to reward that task w/o the horse being pushy into your space or attempting to go into your pockets then it's safe to reward. I would say 99% of the equine people in the industry don't know when it's OK to treat and when not to and they give treats because the horse is pretty when the horse is actually invading their space and being disrespectful and the person doesn't realise it. The rule of thumb is for people to not treat because so many do it wrong and reinforce bad habits.
I ride 4 horses every day but I have never had a wild mustang. Animal,behavior is super interesting. For I time I taught all my horses to,lie down with me in the saddle and then stand u[ again with me there. Let me see if I have the video somewhere. Found it: ruclips.net/video/-FqiW1mo4xU/видео.html 😊
The short-legged beach chairs would help you remain more comfortable whilst sitting on the ground! She’s a beauty, good luck!
"Bellamy." French for "beautiful friend." "Bell-la-me" Drag out word softly.
You showed great patience to “Blackie”. Good luck with your training. It’s nice to listen to your enthusiasm in your voice describing this mare.
Thank you☺️☺️
wow i am INLOVE with her. i can’t wait to follow her as you work with her. i’d call her blackbird, keeps the simplicity of blackmare 😂, and bird since she’s a little “flighty”. goodluck with that gorgeous girl ❤.
New sub...I love the name Nightingale for her 😊
Name suggestion: I like the Shoshoni names...I also like 'Fudge'! She touched...and she knew it...and, she's going to be hard to part with once trained, imho. Good luck!
Black is Eswid in Arabic. She’s beautiful and I’m thankful she has survived such a long journey. I hate it that they have to be separated from their families and friends but I know that it’s next to impossible to keep them together. I wish you success and I will be praying for her forever home.
I found a mare once that had been allowed to run wild with Her Herd mates on a 500-acre horse ranch. She was 5 years old without any human contact when I purchased her. I use to sit under a tree reading a book in her pasture. I would also lure her with bearded oat hay and alfalfa. Her name was Misty Morning Magic, and she became one of my favorite horses. I find it's better to gentle a horse than to break its spirit. Magic for short. When I first saw her, she slowly trotted through low-lying ground fog. Slowly appearing like magic on that misty morning. My beautiful strawberry roan horse
This program was and is a great idea.Its just sad we didn't realize how hard working with them would be .For a spell of time because in truth people didn't work hard enough and in some ways it was a fad,and the results weren't as productive as B. L M wanted,they didn't stop the program,but felt more justified to cull the herds for meat production.Whatvyour are doing has far more potential to help the herds and spark progress in saving them.Don't ever forget that,because this is something we have to get right.
