Thanks so much for this video. Watching it I finally realized why my mustang is still so nervous around me. I was looking him straight in the eyes and faced him. So today I looked down and turned my body away from him pretty much the entire time and was able to pet him all over and he exhaled and finally lowered his head. Great success! Keep the videos coming!!!

Looks like a really nice level headed mare- great start! But please do take care of yourself and put more sunscreen on !

She's incredible, so calm! I would give anything to be able to bid on her in January.

I love that she is licking and chewing through the whole proccess. That lavender color is amazing on her too.

Not sure how this ended up on my feed but glad it did. Interesting the amount of work and patience, curious to see the progress now. New sub.

For someone who doesn't know horses, this is an amazing video. Your body language on approach is telling her that you are polite, not threatening. Frequent releases tell her you won't ask too much of her. Returning to her over and over tells her that you are a new presence in her life, so she needs to get used to you. Your calm and steady way of working with her tell her you can be a leader she can trust.

She is seems to be very easy going and intelligent. I think that she's going to turn out great!

Always amazed by the way you handle those wild horses !! Amazing job, keep up !

She's a beautiful mare and very level headed, glad to see there's still trainers out there that take there time and not to rush the progress you are a awesome trainer and we sure need more trainer's out there like you. Keep up the great work..

I cracked up when the other mustang decided they wanted in on the training session

Boy is she going to be fun to train (and for us to watch!). Calm, level-headed, but clearly smart. Good job picking her, and lovely start!

Nice.. enjoy watching her slowly gain trust in you. Got to feel very rewarding to accomplish taming a wild horse.

Shes beautiful💖her personality seems very sweet. She really seemed to like having her face and neck scratched, when you pulled it away she was like hey! That felt really good! Can't wait to see your progress with her.and the mustang in the next pen cracked me up lol. I hope he was taking notes🤣

I really love how calm and patient you are with them and I really like how you show a good portion of each part of your process. A mustang came to my barn about a year ago and I was asked to help gentle her for her to be rideable and I remember using some of your tricks to help and it worked!!! I really love watching these videos it’s amazing to see how a wild animal can gain your trust

I always get so emotional when I horse gives its trust, tears of joy , she has done so well,go miss thing😍

Lilac would be such a pretty name for her 💜

She's such a sweet and brave mare! x

She looks like a mare that is so friendly once you get to know her!🥰

You have such amazing patience

Nice first day !! She is beautiful and calm, even with all the noise . This will be fun to watch you work her . Hopefully you'll get a larger pen to work in, she not a mini ;)

oh wow she's being so good !! what a gem

Oh my god, the noise! You maintained your cool! I haven’t gotten a read on her yet, but thought the session was great even with the teeny tiny space you had to work in. She sure is pretty. Another name thought...Toasty. I’m sure you’ll figure it out. So happy to watch video! Thanks!

I was interested in the comment about her not having much room in that little enclosure. I wondered about that before you brought it up. I know a little about dog training. A dog on a short leash is likely to be more anxious than the same dog on a leash a few inches longer. Short leashes deprive dogs of options to flee, so they have more of an edge than when they're on a leash that gives them more room to escape.

Wow, I can't believe how amazingly she handle all that noise around her & you in there with her!! You did a very good job of picking this girl out! Can't wait to see how she comes along.

She is a beauty ❤️ Cant wait to see more of her

Yaaay! have been waiting eagerly for this vid! Awesome little mustang

Your a natural, it went well considering all that racket! ... LOL ... it does give you an idea of the horses demeanor though.

I’m amazed how relaxed she was the whole time. There’s something about her a sweetness and gentleness. I’m in love with her already. As soon as I saw her face. She just seems extra special. She’s blessed to have you in her life and it seems you’re quite blessed too. So excited for the next video. It’s sounds so silly but I just want to gv her a big ole hug. Early for that. Idk I just love her.

Now I remember why I'm not into horses, man that's a lot of work. Our family used to deer hunt with horses, until those damn 4 wheelers started tearing up the cojntryside. My pops owns a few still, you are a patient lady.✊

She is really very pretty...i Like her color..🐴🐴🐴

I like the name amethyst for her, not sure why, but it seems to fit her, and you could nick name her amy 😂

Aww, so calm, especially being your all’s first day and all the noises and building going on all around! So...how’s your skin feelin?! As the video went on, you could tell you weren’t used to the Texas sun, lol. Hope ya have some Aloe Vera or somethin cooling🌞🔥 😉😊❤️

You have done really well, despite the noise and work going on. Lovely horse. How long is the challenge? Also it looks like as the day goes on you get more sunburnt 😂

Would love to see how these mustang pens were constructed!

This is great, I love seeing the process and that you describe what you’re doing. Is this all just in one day? How many hours did you sit with her? Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge.

I feel like the name buttercup, or something food related suites her. She is such a beautiful color♥️

Thank you! Is that typical for you to get that far the first day of training? It seems like you two got far. I look forward to observing someone because timing and feel is essential. Sharing your experiences is a great way for me to observe until the right time. Thanks again, Laural

Wow you are great at it :)

I know y'all are gonna go so far. Your patience, taking your time and not rushing her, keeping her confident while also introducing direction combined with her contemplating and complying demeanor is such an amazing pairing. I love how y'all are even starting to get the beginning of "hook and draw" on this first day! That trust and communication is so, so very important to establish from the start. Don't listen to the negative Nancys out there. Keep doing what you do, cause they are right! These mustangs and horses are so lucky to have you, especially since you are some of their first inclinations of humans. "Saving just one horse will not change the world, but surely it will change the world for that one horse." -Unknown. You are an inspiration to many :)

She's so pretty to watch. I think she did beautifully this first session with all the racket going on close by! In a way it was probably good because she was able to put that distraction aside and focus on you. So, with that in mind, I think she will be a great horse. She stayed focused on you despite those men talking and welding. That was a major teaching/learning experience for her!!👍👏😊

I love watching your work!!!! Truly inspiring ♥️

love the video lol looks like you're gonna need some Aloe vera for those sunburns

Remarkable. Haven't seen any of your first day videos. You must expect this result but I'm blown away! Wow Sam, you are really something. 🐴🎨💕

She was a very nice choice!

Nice work! Slow and easy

Apparently, it wasn't that big of a deal, but I can't imagine trying to start a mustang on the first day with all that noise and other activity going on right there. Although it looks like she handled it fairly well, it seems like it would be really distracting and stressful. Would you prefer a slightly larger round pen to that square pen? It was nice meeting you last Friday there at Pauls Valley. I didn't realize you were shooting video when I said hi and it was a surprise hearing myself on the video you posted the other day. Didn't mean to interrupt anything. Best of luck with her. I'm sure she'll turn out great!

u r amazing i love the way u react with the horses welldone and keep going much love and respect for u🌹👌😍

Aww she’s so cute! You work so well with her and other mustangs!

Great choice Sam. She is so sweet:-) Marion

I think that Lilac would be a great name really pretty mare!

It’s amazing seeing the transformation on these beautiful creatures! I’m glad there are people like you who have the knowledge, patience, and love to work with them! Keep it up!

i love the name amethyst for her.i’m sure she’ll turn out amazing.

so intelligent. Lovely head.

You could see it on her face when she decided you guys were friends.

I love the way you work with horses. It is so natural, respectful, and intuitive. You make horses want to communicate and work with you.

Sunscreen!,......great work with the horse too

She's an interesting color, looks like a champagne. That's got to be pretty rare in the wild.

I love you channel

Pretty amazing, nice work. I have no education in horses but curious why another trained horse is not used in pen next door for wild one to learn from?

I got my eye on that horse, when you were picking up 🤗 what did you name it😊

She is so smart and well mannered! I think she's going to turn out amazing!

I've been riding horses since I was 5 and love them with a passion, and I got to say this was awesome to watch. 10/10

I know you said this pen is too smll for your taste. What size pen do you prefer for them? I know I've seen your other videos, but don't recall off the top of my head. Thanks!

Can you show us how you help them to not kick when picking up their feet

I feel like the name Webb is very fitting

Great job her color reminds me of pumpkin spice or ciniman she is butiful

Nice job! Do you plan to stay in Texas for awhile? Where is that place? I hafta wear longsleeves, cap, and sunscreen or I turn into a lobster...

You made a good choice she's beautiful . I used to have a Dun mare to and I also owned a great great grandson of the famous wimpy he was a stud and he was fantastic and beautiful. He was very gentle 4 stud. I used him for a lot of breeding and pleasure riding I even rode him in our Christmas parades and did a lot of racing with him he was very fast. He was the kind of horse that would rather die than let another horse get in front of him . he was a fantastic horse and I wish I still had him but that's been a long time ago in the late 70s. I started training police dogs for years and retired now but still love horses more than dogs and I was very very good with dogs but never had a chance to learn how to train horses. I wish I could have because the lord gave me a gift 4 animals. Not to brag or anything but I have a fantastic gift and still do it just comes naturally what to do but needed training with someone 2 start me off like I did with dogs. It's a long story but an amazing Story how I went on to train police dogs knowing more than the trainers did. how to train them it was amazing how I knew all these things that just came like common sense. I myself don't even know how I don't know knew all that came natural to me how to train them but I did I just call it a gift from God

I don't know if this was on purpose but the color of the horse's halter and your shirt match:)

She is beautiful

Ok so I’m just wondering, but what are some really good tips to training a horse?

How can people get involved in training or buying mustang makeover horses?

looking a little crispy there girl might wanna double up on the sunscreen

She is gorgeous! I also agree with all the positive comments - you do a great job training them and have so much patience and consistency. You also communicate with them in a way they understand. It's no wonder they build such a bond with you! Great work! The mustangs are lucky to have you in their corner. :)

👍 That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

Thank you

Still voting for Melly/Mellow for name. This mare is a gem :)

Pull away quicker even if an ear twitches. Round your shoulder. You might get a quicker response. Your doing well with her

She is so calm!!! Wow!

You look exactly like my horse trainers sister or her that’s weird but cool by the way great job and yes I’m late

I have a quick question: At the beginning around 1:25, when the guys are talking and they kind of bang on the bars. Is that a part of desensitization before they continued working on the fences or were they not supposed to really do that? I'm not trying to make trouble, i'm just genuinely interested if it was a small desensitization practice?

I'd call her Jasper or Jasmine for her color. Or Lana she reminds me of a lion and a star. Or Pia, I just like the name. She has kind of an exotic eye...

Did you name the mare 🐴yet ?

Do you get to bring them home to train

I love the video! Maybe you can figure out how to mute the audio so sounds aren’t and issue and voice over? Just a thought I know it takes a lot of time :)

Is that stick from Clinton anderson?

How about Lila (short for lilac) for her name? Pronounced Lie-leh or kinda like Isla but replace the i and s for L and i

How did you learn how to do all this training with horses

Smart girl with a great thinking mind!!

OMG Sam is a complete badass! 😀

Will you keep her? Lovely horse

Hello Sam. I have a question for you or whoever. I have a horse that rears he just started under the saddle but this is I don't want to thing. Is there anything I can do to stop him? In all my time I have never seen someone stop this stupid action. So if you have anything that I can try please help

So what color is she? Buckskin? Beautiful horse...very good choice in my opinion

She is such a pretty mare. I was wondering how long do you work with them each day. P.S. Love your videos you inspire me so much to also work with mustangs someday

She is a very smart and beautiful mare!!! You guys are goimg.to.do amazing!!!!

Why didn't you start this video after you finished building the mustang pens?

Nice mare!

I don't know anything about horses so this is a legit question..does wild mustang mean that horse was running out in the wild before this and was caught or something?

10:45 hello camera xD
