He's a very lucky horse, with a bright future.

He's a keeper. Smart and quiet

This is a great example of gentle communication with the horse.

Anyone else think of “get offa my back and into the game” when they watch these videos 😂

Love how he wobbles his ears all around when you stroke him. Definitely thinking it over!...I’ve been following you & Sam for a while now, and I can really see how much better it is to work without food rewards. When I see someone less experienced bribing a new mustang with treats it’s obvious the bond doesn’t develop as well.

The great advantage you have is that you raised and trained all those other mustangs from the ground and got to learn all those little nuances these horses give off that others may miss because they need to push a little harder to get on their backs. Fun to watch and learn from your methods.

Just found your channel, this is so intriguing to me and my 6yo daughter loves horses as well. Looking forward to more! Thank you for sharing. Nice to meet you Stitch!

he is so nice! love his looks and how he reacts in the video

You’re so sweet with him. He has been through so much trauma being rounded up taken from his herd mates and all the unnatural clanking metal sounds at the corrals and you are showing him that you can provide soothing with your taking pressure off and also rubbing him.

When you are trying to make first touches, do you talk to the horse? Or are you quiet? I just discovered your videos and really really appreciate all the explaining you do. I have a lifelong dream of having my own experience with a wild mustang. Before you got a wild horse did you study natural horsemanship? Or did you already have a background working with horses? Thank you again for making these videos.

He's going to be a delight to work with!

Great job on this little gem!👍😍 Guess we'll call you Lilo from now on😉

Just got my first horse after working with them for a few years. I’ve come across green horses and foals/youngsters but have all been handled from day 1. My yearling has basically been wild in a herd with both his parents and half siblings until transport to us - definitely “tamer” than a mustang but still a learning curve for me. Revisiting your videos on this guy after I first watched them a year ago is so helpful - was playing around with your pressure release method today and got my first touch and scratch on him (36h after arrival). Hoping to get a head collar on and leading within the week but taking it slow as I know I don’t have the same experience! Just wanted to say thank you as I’d definitely be a bit lost if I hadn’t found this video in the back of my mind.

One thing when you hold a rope that's attached to a horse: gloves. Friend of mine had the whole inside of her hand shredded by her horse when he bolted on her unsuspectedly while leading him.

I've always been interested in animals Learning their body language to understand their moods and need is fascinating to me Of course, I've only ever interacted with pets like dogs, cats and birds, so it's fascinating watching you interacting, explaining and reading his moves.

Beautifully done, thank you for being slow and gentle and listening to what he wants

Yay I’ve been waiting for this video since the other one🥰🥰❤️ can’t wait for more to come absolutely love your channel😌

Love this guy, looking forward to seeing your progress 💕🦄💕

You are amazing! This video is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Your description of what was being done and why were spot on. Congratulations on your future with Stitch...this looks very promising. Do you ever use verbal commands? I couldn’t really tell from this video. Looking forward to viewing your progress! Thanks for the education...can’t wait for next one.❤️

im learing so much!, i think its great your teaching people how you work with wild horses in a nice a quite way!

Love your style of video and the way you explain what you're doing.

Excited to follow your journey with this guy. 😊

Hello Stitch... I look forward to seeing you in the future ...

He's cute,loving, and lucky! He is lucky to have someone pick him out!😁

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Your voice is so calm and soothing. I may listen to this video the next time I have a hard time getting to sleep. Best of luck with Stitch. I’m sure you’ll do great.

OMG YAY TY MY PRAYERS WORKED

What a cute smart mustang! 🙂

AAAAAAAAAA FINALLY! im new to this channel so i really want a new vid lol

*coming from a place of concern...nothing else* wonder if its just his feet but he seems low in the fetlock joints all the way around....you really see it where you take the number off...wonder if it's just his feet or the angle maybe😯he's such a smart standoffish guy...once he finds his person it will be a huge bond! good luck with him!!!

He is way to calm! My mare has climbed out many times with just a look at her!

I love these videos. He is such a good boy!

love your channel

Aww really cool how built trust

Hey Cat! I just wanted to say your work is so inspiring. I want to be like you! I want to train mustangs and do mustang makeovers. You are an inspiration. My old dog, his name was Beau to. He passed away though. I’m glad him memory lives on with that mustang. You are such an inspiration and so are all your horses. I am one of your biggest fan. Thank you for all you have done. 🐴

I dream of training my own mustang one day.

Welcome Stitch

I love this video. The progress is amazing. I have a question…Are you talking to him throughout this process? If so, what are you saying to him? And if not, why?

Love from india ❤️ best of luck for further journey 👍

Fantastic first day in the muck!!! Am curious (I’m from California, we don’t get rain like u get) have you ever had first day training while the pen is super muddy other than with this one? Cuz he was super chill. Question 2. Do you use calming speech and clicks right from the start? I’ve found that using “Constant” talk, sounds, clicks both calms and keeps the animals attention and curiosity. It works with dogs as well. Btw, am curious, where did the chestnut gelding in the pen of eight shown right before you brought your boy home rank? He would have been my choice, based on what I believe will be superior athletic agility and overall balance of head to tail, over the other 7). Someone you know select the chestnut? And, what one thing, made you want this guy. Small head, short bodied, great for polo ponies, but, could be lacking in endurance. Would love to get your thoughts to these questions. Other than that, you had a Great first day with your new friend. I look forward to seeing the progress of your horse and all the others adopted, and Can’t wait for the Competition in 99 days! You face some stiff competition as there are other very talented trainers doing wonderful work with these beautiful animals!!!! Best of luck!! Karl from Cali.

I can't understand everything (I'm French) , but very nice video, thank you ! What is the size of your round pen ?

He is a special horse

Very interesting

This might be a weird or dumb question. But do you stick with these techniques even with a trained horse? For instance the relieving of pressure if they pull away?

Mustang is wondering where all this mud and cold misty weather came from. Paisley desert to Missouri, huge difference.

I really wish it was possible to adopt one of these horses, but I’m from Sweden and I’m sure the move would be too traumatic for them

He’s such a cutie! 😍

Kind of random, but my gelding has been really strong lately when I’m taking him in and out off the pasture. He will start trotting and walk really fast, this morning it got so bad that he started cantering and I lost him. I used so much time getting him back into his pasture and ended up being late to my zoom class. Any tips or ideas are appreciated!!

Do you talk to them when gaining trust?

Love his name!

When you are going up to touch them are you talking to them in a soft voice or just silent?

this may be a dumb question but can you adopt a mustang and not compete in the challenges?

What do you feed your mustangs besides hay??

He’s looking nice already. Is this the virtual Kentucky EMM ?

Do you talk to the horse while you're working with him?

Mud mud glorious mud lol

can you still do it this way if you don't put a halter on?

Do you get to keep them afterwards? or are you just helping gentle them so they are adoptable for someone else?

Does this trick works on introverts too?

hi , Have you ever had one that is afraid of the rope dragging ? If so, what did you do ?

Interesting. I'm working with a QH Palo mare 20+ yrs old. An ex rodeo mount that was given up to someone else when his money and luck ran out following the circuit from Texas. The current owner got her from the guy who bought her from the Texan. This mare is a horse who as put succinctly from the movie Horsewhisperer is one with lots of people problems. Fear aggressive, food aggressive, always on alert. In other words an abuse case. As I have described her: a bomb with a smoldering lit short fuse. There are times when she can be very sweet and just as fast her hooves are flying in all directions. I've ridden her several times and is great under saddle. To me she will be along term project to show her I'm not like her previous 5 owners. Between owners 1 and 5 she was really screwed up. If nothing else I'll give her a soft place to fall.

Do u have any videos of stitch on the first & second week?

I'm a newbie here but fascinated. Are you talking to him as you're gentling him?

I am learning how to train a baby horse right now. Do you have any tips?

Sukses kedepannya sis...

Hello, I´m from Germany, at first , sorry for my english. My question, do you talk with it, when you start to contakt it?

do you use your mustangs for jumping ?

Do you use your voice around him while you are doing this?

I LIKE DID VIDEOS CAT 👍👍👍✨

He looks like a sweet boy with a good mind.

Maybe it would be easier if you would have ask him to follow you first. I think the pressure of the pulling rope doesn’t make any sense for him. Yeah but probably im wrong.

Does it cost you money to buy him like other horses?

*He’s a handsome guy.*

He really looks like he’s handling this quite well. 👍 give him a carrot for me.

Why are there so many mustangs waiting for adaption?

Me saying good boy through the phone

what a cute boy

Hello I'm from INDONESIA

How long do u wait u til gelding them

Isn’t the pressure and release philosophy negative reinforcement?

Horse: "Why tf is this hooman drag a**ing around about fixing this darn bridle!?"

✌😍

If he starts eating left shoes... you are in trouble. :) see who gets that one.

I have a question, why is the lead rope so long, he can easily step in it and get strangled. How do you prevent him from hurting himself?

How old do you think he is

Being English, it's really weird to see long boots under jean 😂😂

First!

Nobody: Clinton Anderson: Immediately starts hitting the horse

Love the name, seems to suit him well. Btw maybe try speeding some parts up? It's a lot of repetitive work so once you make the comment you want, just speed the rest of the same exercise up until you want to comment on something else, that would shorten the video considerably :)

I don't get why people take wild horses out from the wind and keep them in a pen until someone will come ad take them

Hello madam please give me job you are horse farm work please give me

Poor horse being taken from the wild and leaving his family with not saying good bye he will never see them again and that is awful 😢 but he has a great trainer 😜

It’s sad what the BLM is doing to the mustang. There is plenty of land for the mustang but the cattle n ranchers are taking it over. The BLM gets money n kickbacks for the grazing leases from the ranchers. It’s all about the money.
