Mustang and "Cinderella" perform bridle less-Mustang Maddy at 2017 Mustang Magic Freestyle

- Meet Mustang No. 1236, now known as “Amira.”
126 days ago, Amira was wild-one of the BLM’s 46,000+ mustangs in holding waiting for adoption. The “U” in her brand marks Amira as a “3-striker,” meaning she was passed up for adoption-unwanted-three times by no fault of her own.
Mustang Maddy trained Amira for the Mustang Heritage Foundation's Mustang Magic competition, in which trainers have less than 130 days to train a wild mustang.
These competitions serve to showcase the trainability of America’s wild horses and raise awareness for the some 40,000 mustangs currently waiting in holding pens to be adopted. After the competition, the trained mustangs are auctioned off to the public to be put into caring homes.
Maddy and Amira captivated the sold-out audience with her freestyle performance, earning a standing ovation and the championship title. Maddy used the money she won in the competition to bid on Amira herself.
She was successful in adopting Amira and will be giving her a forever home. Amira will join Maddy and her team of trained mustangs to travel the country and raise awareness for the mustangs still awaiting adoption, as well as to educate the public on equine behavior and communication techniques to achieve more successful horse-human relationships.
In their fairytale freestyle performance, Madison showcased the incredible talents of Amira-a horse once cast off and considered unwanted. The lesson of Mustang Maddy and the amazing Amira ring true: there is greatness in us all if we choose to see the beauty within.

This is what horsemanship is all about. Being able to earn the trust of a frightened and scared animal and turn it into something truly amazing. This is truly beautiful
And the rider’s spurs never touched the mustang!
And what about a saddle to protect the horses spine?
It’s hard to watch and remain dry eyed
She brought me to tears. You can see her kindness and love for the horse. It was beautiful 👸🏼🐴🇺🇸💋
Kitty Kitty Meow Meow same 😍🐎
Djk34😍💖💝 is single how old you are
I've never seen a domestic horse stop on a dime without stepping slightly or sliding forward like this mustang did!... very athletic responses, I was in AWE! To go from being wild to performing an amazing routine completely out of his normal environment in a loud crowd and music, and an enormous arena & learning everything from scratch in just over 4 months is absolutely a miracle... such is a bond of trust of safety & of patient love.. This was absolutely beautiful in so many aspects to witness... God bless her for adopting a beautiful, once roaming free Mustang, possibly destined for slaughter (which angers me), instead of purchasing a domestic horse... giving the Mustang his LIFE back... I strongly feel that if a Mustang isn't adopted, that crazy inhumane and unjustified 3rd strike...like the horse is a crime, that Mustang should be returned to a protected habitate to roam FREE once more... it's their God given right & we, humans, should respect that!...As I watched him run... I imagined him without a rider, running wild & free... a beautiful Mustang, yes... a Cinderella story from destitute & literally being rescued by a beautiful Soul who believed in him...🦋
What I heard about mustang makeover is that they do this because the habitat where they live in is not capable of providing enough food and water to keep all the horses alive and there are too many horses in the wild for people to feed them so they founded mustang makeover to give them a second chance or else many of them would be already dead ( though I don't know if this is related to mustang makeover or if this is another program)
And also I didn't know about the 3 strike system, maybe that's really not from mustang makeover 🤔
This horse has changed from being scared to being trained and amazing
This girl is incredible for what she believed in
Maybe she believed but look at her heels
So sad for every horse's eyes tears come in there eyes they sit on their back and ride might be legs hurts to much.
Viola old comment ik but if you were talking about the spurs-if used correctly they dont harm the horse and instead can give clearer signals/cues bc theyre thinner than your lower leg.
@@puransharma6392 What? she's not hurting the horse..?
I am so glad I got to see this performance in person. Absolutely beautiful display of the bond between man and animal. Just lovely Madison! So glad you got to keep her!
Love the team work and trust the horse has in you, everyone commenting about the spurs they are not hurting the horse, she has them on because it's easier that way when she's bareback and no bridle, she's using them properly so it shouldn't hurt the mustang
I'm very much all about avoiding the use of force on animals, and I can say that people dismissing this incredible performance because of the very presence of spurs are lacking in reason. She communicates with the horse via gentle touch. I don't see her kicking the horse or even using the spurs much at all. I have to wonder how many people criticising the spurs have put several times as much pressure on a horse by squeezing/kicking, just not using spurs. I'm sorry, but it makes no sense. I truly believe the horse is far more comfortable with her occasional use of the spurs than pretty much any horse is with a piece of metal in its mouth the entire time it is being ridden. I'm not calling bits evil or anything, I understand why they are used. I'm just pointing out that you can't be hurt by something that barely touches you...so if you think her spurs are cruel, surely bits are, also? And how many critics commenting here use bits...?
@@cassofstupidity5168 The BLM rounds up Mustangs off the range to control the herd population. These Mustangs are in holding and need homes. Mustang Makeovers like the one above are one way to bring more awareness to this issue. Should these horses have been rounded up in the first place? We can debate. Probably not. But they are rounded up and they need homes. I adopted one myself. Yes, I would prefer for her to be running free, but the home I give her is better than being stuck in the pens.
Used correctly Spurs are a training and riding aid . They are only cruel when poeple.uae them with out knowing how .and they are still not sharp .and out of darkness would you rather see them slaughtered using cruel practices.
spurs are a great training aid if used right but people just automatically diss them because some people can’t use them correctly. i have short legs and my horses where much better + happier when i rode with spurs. same with whips/crops. they aren’t for beating the horse to go fast- it’s and extension of your arm a
or leg. Bits are really controversial. I use them because that’s what works best and have never caused any of my horses problems. honestly the most problems i have had is bitless horses being really heavy in their heads and not engaging their hind end.
Honestly! I hate riding without spurs, I can give a good kick, but squeezing tight enough for a response is tough, and it just feels like too much to put on an animals side when i can easily do the same with a simple tap
She has spurs on, lol
This a beautiful performance, I can’t believe she was able to do this with a once wild mustang
This is and old post, but the comments about spurs bother me. If she’s completely tackless, do you really think she’s using the harshest spurs ever? I only use spurs sometimes, and I roll them up my hand and arm with the same pressure I use on my horse, and if anything it’s a massage, really not painful at all. They are an extension of her leg, to make it look like she’s not doing anything.
Thank you for reading
Thanks for caring enough to love her and rehabilitate her she obviously trusts you fully, very nice performance!

This made me want to cry! In a good way! Such a great transformation.
God Bless you for all that you did to help this Beautiful Majestic Creature...you can see the trust and the love that you share...very beautiful and very touching performance
Amazing how you transformed this horse
Not even halfway through this yet, and I'm already crying. The song this lady chose to do as a first performance with this horse was an amazing choice. I love it.
I love the way she pets the horse
I love the music and video WOW
God bless you for helping this beautiful horse!!!!!!!
A true Cinderella Story ...... A tale of love and transformation
God Bless you and all you do. I’m so proud of you.
Why are people flipping out by spurs? Why can’t everyone face the fact that woah this mustang used to be wild af and now look. She’s doing amazing tricks TACKLESS. This is so cute and I’m happy to see someone not give up.
Heathers Life well she is still using spurs I mean she doesn't NEEED them and it shouldn't be used they stab the horse but yes it was a beautiful performance
Like me and my mustang
misses Ich kommentiere yeah right
That is not how spurs work AT ALL. You may want to learn the mechanics of them before making that sort of claim...
BuddysMomma5 then tell me how spurs work?
Was having a rough day and decided to watch this to cheer me up. I'm so impressed with this young lady and horse. What a beautiful pair they make. Chokes me up every time.
Thank you for transforming this wild gelding into a gentle and beautiful beautiful performance horse
Mare..
There is no such thing as wild geldings. There are wild stallions though. All male horses are born as stallions, but if humans want to, they can 'geld' the horse so he will be less aggressive/excited and he cannot make foals. Maybe you already know this, but anyways... This mustang in the video is a mare.
literally every little detail of this video and its story makes me heart so incredibly happy
Reminds me of my mustangs I rescued them from an illegal slaughterhouse... they are now at least 17+ years old and have 2 year olds ride them that’s how tame they are... I never used a bit or spur on them and trained them off love and trust they are the sweetest and come running when someone comes to the gate... this video also shows that no matter the age,breed or background any horse can change with any amount of love
Absolutely a beautiful connection and communication between horse and rider!!! Way to go young lady!
Thank you for saving a Mustang. They are amazing horses, I hope more people realize that soon as they are lingering in holding pens..
I love my Mustang, Last Chance. She saved my daughter from a rogue cow.
I think you are an amazing young lady and this mare would jump threw hoops of fire for you. You are inspiring!! ❤🏇❤
It just goes to show all animals deserve a chance. Such a beautiful horse and bless this woman for believing in her x❤️x
Damn this video makes me cry every time!!!
You are my inspiration. Thank you for believing in her.
So beautiful it touched my soul
I could barely believe it was the same horse! You can really see she trusts her owner and her owner trusts her
that was breathtaking
The bond and the trust between them is breathtaking 🤩💗
OMG what a great bond
That girl has a true gift with horses.
So beautiful!!! Thank you Mustang Maddie for being such a wonderful advocate for the wild horses. I have five mustangs that I’ve adopted and they are the best part of my life!! It’s an experience like no other!!!!! May God bless!!!
the horse is beautiful and the performance was amazing
I love watching horse videos I've always wanted a horse I said my parents and they finally let me have horse riding lessons I don't think I'm going to get a horse anytime soon I love watching horse videos so cute especially horse tiktoks
Such raw emotion. I cried
God bless them all...what a statement ! Have three mustangs on the ranch I'm at and there so smart and loving...Luke is like a puppy who's right there by your side or over your shoulder ☺️so sweet! So people take the opportunity to adopt,sponsor, or just give a home to till there adopted...such a wonderful breed!
Omw I was about to cry, it's really crazy how this was a wild af and the horse performed as if it's been training for months and the horse was tackles omw, she trained the horse well, I love this🐴❤️
this honestly brought tears to my eyes. the amount of trust that horse has in you and to see how amazing your bond and partnership is is truly inspiring. From a horse who thought that it was destined for the meat truck without a loving hand to show her the way, you were there.
In tears. I wish I could have even a glimpse of what you showed with Amira, with my filly.
This is amazing
The horse has the same name as my but spelt different! I have always loved horses 🐴
Absolutely amazing. There's no words- she and the beautiful little mare are just amazing! This- THIS is something one can only dream of! ♡
Most beautiful and inspiring🥺❤️
All I have to say is
Beautiful
Maddy, thank you !!! Beautiful soul, brilliant talent, great humanitarian. Thank you for making the world a better place through your gifts and compassion. So hope to meet (and train) with you some day, as I have joined this journey of natural/emotional/relationship/attunement/liberty, after walking away from competitive dressage, and waking up to the magic ! Bless and love :)
THIS IS AMAZING!! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE!!! HOW???
I assume you have never heard of Stacy Westfall then?
Crying!! I watched this twice in a row. OMG! You are so amazing. What a beautiful story!!! thanks so much!
This reminds me so much of Heartland
Amy + Spartan 4 Liiiife
For those of u who don’t know:
Amy and her mom were rescuing Spartan from his abuser and the truck went over the ledge. Amy’s mum died and Spartan was badly injured and traumatised therefore was unrideable.
Amy put her faith into Spartan and had him trained in about a year. In season 7 she performs a liberty routine perfectly with him and another horse.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful! This shows that you don't need a painful bit to perform with and ride a horse.
This moved me to tears. Such a beautiful partnership.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this is.
Wow, just wow
I am in tears.... I have horses I saved from the meat truck and your story is simply amazing.
Awesome performance and super well trained horse
This is so beautiful I’m crying
What an amazing transformation
Wo.w made my night.
Magnificent! Absolutely beautiful and full of respect. Thank you! ❤️
That's so amazing!
So beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! You are Amazing! I have watched this and shared it with so many people and everytime I get tears of happiness seeing you and her work together in perfect harmony!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lynn Harrington
This is still one of my go to videos when I need a pick me up. Thank you Maddy 💜
Oh this is such a beautiful thing. I love how the horse came from a wild mustang to a well trained, excellent horse. You did so great with the horse!
Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it!!! Awesome awesome awesome!!!!❤❤❤❤
Wow😍 love it👍❤️
This is amazing! Congrats on the win!
Wow. Beautiful. I have 2 rescues. My boys are spoiled.
I'm never at a loss for words until now. Wow, holy crap, BEAUTIFUL, pure patience and skill. Great job.
Nice job!! Both Beautiful and talented horse and rider!!!
She stopped so well u almost went flying ! This makes me so happy good work !!! Thank you for not giving up on her 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
Maddy is such an incredible trainer. ❤️. If I ever am able to adopt one, I’ll look for the U. It is so disheartening to know too many don’t find wonderful homes. If I had money, I’d adopt them all.
This is amazing❤❤
So amazing ❤️
How beautiful! Thank you!
Brought tears to my eyes! What an extraordinary performance!!!!!
You are an absolutely amazing women watching this I was just wowed so much it's so beautiful the way you believed in this horse and earned her trust when no one else could.
I have watched this video so many times and everytime I'm just amazed. I hope one day I can be half as good as you with horsemanship. You are truely incredible and very talented.
Maddy, I too love Mustangs and have adopted three beautiful ones. We live in Ridgway, CO and am looking forward to your Norwood training clinic in June. My black mustang adopted from a Nevada herd near Battle Mountain, was prison trained in Canon City, using the Anderson method. He spooks at everything! And he really hates gates, maybe PTSD from his round up. Shadow is the best horse ever, I just wish he would not spook all the time. Looking forward to your stay in Ridgway this summer. I live on Loghill and pasture them up here during winter, and they stay at Eagle Hill Ranch at pasture during summer.

Ask Rick Gore/think like a horse he has a mustang called Mr. Tanner. He doesn't like how Clint Anderson trains horses either. I love to watch Rick Gore's videos because he understands horses and he is funny to listen to.
Beautiful!!!
We need more people in the world like her
I am learning horsemanship and trust me it is not easy , I’m working with a beautiful horse that used to be in depression ever since I started learning the Mare was getting happier . So now I see and visit also train with that mare almost every single day . This performance is so heart warming ! I love it .
Wow amazing she must be an amazing trainer
I don't get why everyone is complaining about the spurs, but doesn't see that Amira is not running clearly. Canter is supposed to be a three-beat gait... The trot is also very stiff and the horse is not stepping under it's center. I guess she has serious pain in her back and should definitely not be ridden without a saddle. A saddle is not harming a horse. When it fits properly (which it always should) it's spreading the weight of the rider and protecting the horseback from the rider bumping into the back. Maddy definitely is a good rider, but during the sliding stops she is bumping into the back.
Most amazing video I’ve ever seen the horse and girl and amazing
Beautiful performance, Maddy!
OMG that was awesome. Fantastic work.
They have to make a movie of their life I really wanna see it
Oh Maddy I cried all the way through your Video! My Heart once again is Touched by the Gift God has given to YOU Sweet Girl 💗🐴🕊 I speak much Love back to YOU 💗💗💗 this is Laura , Jesus’s Girl 💜
This horse is actually super Beautiful
i adopted 5 around 4 years ago at a local mustang magic auction
Amira is so Beautiful, And I am so Glad that this Young Lady did not give up on this Beauty.
I have a mustang I love her she jumps
This is genuinely impressive, especially considering some horses who have been ridden for years aren't even this responsive and this horse was only trained for a couple of months. wow
And, she trained the mustang completly tackless from the beginning!
This is what horse riding is about🥰
Absolutely beautiful! ❤️
This is soo cute!!❤❤
If there's 2 things I love it's mustangs and liberty work. I don't know if I could get my mustangs to perform like this, but they do it alone in a round pen and I do brideless drill team with jumps, and it's literally magical being able to ride like that. There is nothing like liberty
