- "The outside of a horse is good for the inside of the man."
Winston Churchill
That adage is being played out every day at Stewart Conservation Camp next to Northern Nevada Correctional Center in Carson City, Nevada.
For the last ten years inmates have been training BLM wild Mustangs taken off the range to eventually be auctioned to the general public. What many do not know, in the past two years the program has been expanded to now include training Mustangs for the United Stated Border Patrol. For eight months KOLO 8's news crew was given uncommon access to inmates and horses for an in depth examination of how this program works and what changes it produces in not only the animal, but the man.

Two Fisted Great news! Is he a farrier now?
Who are you Aunt B? You know my husband, David?
I love this video and how it is so positive. What a great program. I cannot think of a better way to help humans into a better life path. Horses are great teachers.
Thank you for a wonderful video showing just how wonderful mustangs are!
Keep up the good work!
❤️
Wow looks like a great program, what a great thing for horse and man!!!
I hate these horses being ripped out of their natural environment for wealfare rancher's.....or slaughter...
But happy to see prison men and mustang s given a second chance....now they should put woman's inmates in a program just like the guys...
I really liked this. It gives the inmates a future. Nathan Wilson was due to be released in 2013 I hope he is doing good.
Doing great!!!! Thanks
@@wilsonnate5670 did you ever get an update on Hollywood?
@@wilsonnate5670 Hollywood is retired from Border Patrol and is in Alpine, CA. He's at Saddles in Service. I met and rode him yesterday. He's such a great horse! There are other retired BP horses there too. They are therapy horses. Well loved and pampered. They sent me this video so I could learn his history. Great work with him!
That’s Awesome! I’ll have to go visit him!!
This is an excellent program and I thank you for the information. A wonderful use of tax money!
Geez these criminals do better with horses than a "professional" trainer
Some creeps cross the desert loading horses with as much as 300 lbs of contraband then leaving the horses in the desert to die. These are some of the types of people the border patrol has to deal with.
That Appaloosa is beautiful 😍
I trained him

Its sad these inmates have no idea the horses they are messing with are the same ones who if not good enough, end up on a Mexican or Canadians dinner plate.
Your Crazy !!!!
Jena Jewl I rather be crazy then be retarded :S
wingedwolf56176 I still believe it is ridiculous that wildhorses are caught due to BLM corruption and rancher greed and then put in holding pens for the rest of their lives if they aren't adopted. WildHorses are not overpopulated, they are underpopulated, their bloodlines are beginning to mix (incest) and that is a cause for concern, it causes a number of health concerns for those animals. How fair is it that a business created to manage the lands (even manage them FROM cattle) is being corrupted by ranchers due to them waving money in BLMs face? Yes Domestic horses are also being sold and for what? If the damned BLM didn't waste tax payer dollars on rounding up needlessly, then people could have more room for the domestic horses that need taking in. But no... people feel sorry for wildhorses so they adopt them and ignore the fact they have OTTBs and other great horses that need adoption or they will be slaughtered. This is pathetic and the BLM is pathetic. It is sad that an American icon is being wiped out and destroyed due to greed and corruption.
Awesome.....
My spirit animal.
Good movie Jacob.
I _refuse_ 2 use ites or shoes. IMO bits/shoes cause pain. I 💙 mustangs. We have 1. Best 🐴 I've ever had. He was captured in the Nuvada hills. Me named him Montana (Tanner/Mr.T.)
I like seeing the border patrol get good horses but if you keep culling out the biggest and strongest you will soon ruin the wild heard. I notice you select dark horses with little to no chrome for the BP. That is wise they do not need high maintenance horses. This is what I would pick for myself :))
Farriers are in short supply, All over America, think about it
The hardest part for these must be letting the horses go...
I would love to train horses, just like the inmates do!
Should I commit a crime in order to get a job like this...? 😉
Why in the world would you breed more wild horses? For one thing, these aren't technically wild horses. They're feral. Many, many, many years ago, these were domesticated Spanish horses. There are so many horses in the world already, and many of them are unwanted. There's no way that we as people, or the environment could handle breeding the crap out of mustangs. Do you know how much horses eat per day? 20 lbs. or more depending on the horse. Horses with access to food all day, eat all day. It's kind to give them a loving home. I find it extremely obnoxious when people try and put human emotions into an animal and boo hoo about how we're cruel for taking them out of their homes. Horses can be just as happy in a caring home, if not happier, than in the wild. They are extremely good at handling changes in life as long as they are given time.
What was once wild and free is now tame and pinned, such a shame! With all the ex racehorses this just isn't necessary!
wild and free isn't all it's cracked up to be. wild and free means: no hoof care, no vaccinations, no feed, no care for the sick and injured, slow death for those that are, usually by predators or starvation because that's "natural". Natural stinks.
Trained, broke and cared for is far better than culling herds. The plains can’t always support large amounts of horses, especially with free range cattle.
A horse generally likes to work, and enjoys running, and if you have a good relationship with your horse, they’re very happy.
Instead of taking the wild horses out of there home why don't they instead try and bred them more often? Wild horses are decreasing and with things like this they're bound to be lost sooner, there are perfectly good horses at shelters that could do with this training, and the whole "But these people are being able to redeem themselves" is a lie. They could redeem themselves by helping bred the wild horses and/or helping neglected horses who need help. People should understand that if we keep on taking these beautiful creatures away from there home Wild Horses will be no more.
your information is way off. The "wild" horses are often once domestic animals released into the wild by owners who can no longer care of afford them. These animals are then rounded up by the thousands because they decimate the sensitive desert landscape and end up starving to death in winter. It costs American tax payers $50,000/day at each BLM facility to feed these animals. If they are not adopted, they spend the rest of their lives in holding pens.
Time to make their lives miserable. Set them free.
They cancelled the program!!!!! 1100 horse's gone! HORROR , for the horse's . Horrible! They the government should have Left them alone in beautiful Utah! No worries human's. We are deffentlly next! Population control of course
Those horses should be free in a herd! But no we can't just let them be we have to round them up, ride them in a bit and saddle for 5 hours and then put the horse back in a stall!?
their survival rate is higher.
+MoonMoonFang - at what cost? the horses were happy, they are not anymore!!
Kinda doubt he rides that horse 5 hours a day, but okay lol
Rob someone and get sentenced to summer camp…
