This is such a busy trail system through a neighborhood. This mare rocked it! No drama here :) I can't wait to ride her on these trails if we get to that point before I leave! I also filled some of the time (right, it would have been so fun to watch 40 minutes of us just walking... not) by answering some of your questions from Instagram!
I'm staying really busy with clinics and lessons now so we haven't worked every single day, especially at the next location we go to, but she's doing great. This is just a little reminder that if you want to ask questions or have them answered in videos, try to be active on my Instagram because I'll occasionally ask on there. I may answer KZfaq comments/questions in a video as well one day, so make sure to leave a comment as well :) I love reading all of them!

OMG y’all... for those of you who have an issue with the name Snooze, please read my latest community post. (And because I’m a little salty, maybe I don’t like YOUR name, so maybe you should change it 😉)

Lady, you don't need to justify the name you choose for her. I think the name is adorable, and I've very much enjoyed watching her project, and I'm considering doing the mustang makeover in the future because of your videos. Thank you for your detailed videos of your work with these horses, and I'm going to be an avid watcher in this mares progress.
@tarasweeney9242 3 жыл бұрын
Let's be real. The people commenting about her name are all 9 year olds with opinions bigger than they are and attitudes because you aren't doing what they tell you to do. Her name should suit her and you know her far better than anyone can from just watching a few videos. 👍

I think you’re doing an awesome job. With all the exposure, traveling, new locations, different surroundings getting her used to everything is great. Just luv her demeanor, how quiet and well adjusted she is. Probably make a great 1st time owner a great companion, English or Western ....
@TrixyTheWonderDog 3 жыл бұрын
Honestly this is probably my favorite Snooze vid just bc I LOVED watching her head/ears! She's checking things out and taking it in. But, she's sticking with the herd, her focus comes back to you and the horse in front. (At least from these clips her focus seems to return quickly. I don't know about the other 30 odd minutes lol) Every time her head perked up and she kept walking I imagined her saying 'what's that? eh, the herd doesn't mind, we're okay' That made me think she would be an awesome trail horse some day. Maybe not a competition horse bc she's lacking the git up and go...though, with her demeanor and intelligence there's no telling how far this little mare can progress.

Wonderful! This coming week I should find out about returning to the Therapeutic Riding Center for individual Natural Horsemanship lessons. I enjoy the individual more than the group because I get to try Mustang training on these stacked out horses which is perfect for my inexperience. I excell in confusing the horse for now lol but I'll learn. The scenery along with her/your work was so enjoyable I'd be happy to see the extended version. Have a great evening! Laural

I wish she had a different name! Snooze just doesnt' describe her. She is so calm and yet elegant and serene.. and it's so unusual to see a horse that takes the noises so calmly like she does. She's just so "together" and unphased by things. Wish she had a name that described her better. I bought a horse once named "Chubs" which I hated.. I think it was because he was a little overweight, but it didn't do him justice. I renamed him Jubal.. as sounded kind of like "Chubs" and yet I think just calling him that made him feel better!
@SamVanFleet 3 жыл бұрын
Snooze is meant to be a cute name, not boring. I think I know this horse probably better than anyone watching these videos or commenting, which is why I'm the one naming the horse :) I also waited about a month before naming her so I made sure it fit. That's like you telling a mom that she gave her kid an ugly name... bet that makes her feel great!

I disagree. It wouldn't benefit Snooze being handled & ridden by someone who isn't able to give her clear cues or understand how to communicate with her as she's still going to be somewhat "green" even after all the hours Sam has put into her training. It takes years for many horses (mustangs or otherwise untrained, un-handled equines) to be able to "teach" a novice rider. Maybe someone who knows a bit more about how to support Snooze in continuing her training experience. Just because she's extraordinarily laid back doesn't mean she's suitable for a beginner. I feel that would be a disservice to her in reality.
