Leaving the Pen w/a Wild Mustang on Day Two | Los Angeles Extreme Mustang Makeover
Рет қаралды 165,093
3 жыл бұрынWe left her pen! First big moment done... Yay! She handled it like a champ. But I did recognize her limit and honored that so we finished the session back in her pen. We achieved so much today.
No, she does not have a name yet (I also don't need anymore suggestions, thank you :) for them on the last post!)

That's really awesome I hope she does good for you I have 4 horses (2 mares 2 boys) and I'm training one of the boys that happen to be a huge massive Wild Mustang/Thoroughbred Stallion, he's 18hh nearly 1800 lbs it was a pain in the ass to train him but at least I challenged myself and so far he's became a pretty good horse even though he's still a Stallion. 22 years old with high functioning autism and I'm not trying to brag but I've been busting my ass off lately, but besides that it's incredible how you're starting to become friends with that wild mustang mare. They sure are incredible believe it or not especially the ones from the wild. Amazing mare right there.

Please DO NOT mute your mike -- I like hearing how you use your voice to reward them, and keep up a steady contact while training. If anyone is bothered by repetition they can mute you and not deprive the rest of us learning via your voice along with your body cues, etc Sweet of you to consider it, though. Wow, she is coming along quite quickly -- only day 2 -- your work is amazing. I could definitely see the "kid" was more relaxed learning back in her pen. I love how fair you are in your work with these wild horses. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us.

She's a very nice mare, with a good brain. I like that even after she exhibited nervousness, she immeadiately looked to you for reassurance, showing that she is looking at you as her leader. Very nice mare, I look forward to her progress. If you haven't named her, I like Valentina, which is related to the Latin, 'valor' for brave. Also because she so red.

I have an Arab with this temperament .... he is 11 and I just got him a couple of months ago. I am an older rider, learning dressage so I needed a horse that was calm and curious. I feel like I was gifted exactly what I need. He is so patient and sweet. I am learning to read his horse cues which is amazing. He is trusting, smart and willing as this girl is. Excited for you but it is going to be hard to let her go....maybe you won't! I get so much out of your videos on how to train a horse with kindness, still achieving the respect needed to stay safe. Thank you for doing this for us!
