So good to hear you say these horses aren't started till 4, in the UK we never start lungeing before 3, put away and then bring back to start properly at 4 and are shocked at Americans starting at 2.

Those foals where so relaxed, laying in the hay eating. What a nice auction.

Such nice horses at this sale! Whoever bought that paint foal got a really good deal! The baby roan was gorgeous, too! Thanks for taking us along with you! Your videos are much appreciated! ❤

I think this is an auction that I would be comfort with to buy a horse. I like the calm presentation. Beautiful horses

Loved this sale and the way the horses were presented. They gave you time to actually look at the horses and showed them in a manner that allowed you to see their natural dispositions and movement. I also learned about mountain horses that are not common where I grew up. Our preferred trail horses were much smaller and gaited but these guys with their calm dispositions and willingness to work seem to be a great choice as a trail horse.

Approx. 2:54 mark - WOW - that vintage page out of the Sears catalogue !! Not only could you buy a pony saddle from them, but also a LIVE Shetland pony or burro to put under it ! I guess that was either a very old catalogue page, OR it was the one my Mum ripped out of the 'Sears Christmas Catalogue' before my pony loving hands, as a kid, could see it - or she'd have NEVER gotten any peace ! LOL

That was a great video. I love chocky, stacked, big, sturdy horses. Seeing all of them in beautiful shape was a real treat.

That was really interesting. Had a very pleasant athmosphere about it. Thank you for taking us along.

I'm glad I don't live anywhere near Montana! If I had gone to this sale, I would have come home with a horse!! Such gorgeous animals in this group...my kind of horse, user-friendly. 😉 Enjoying the heck out of your channel. Thanks CC.

Love some of these horses, especially the draft crosses. My two best jumpers EVER were draft crisses, one TB-Belgian monster who lived to be 30, and never once stopped at a fence in 25 years of jumping, first for me a junior, then for many years of students. The second was a pink appy ~ about 16.1 ~ with a bald dish face, tiny pricked ears & Arab-looking neck. He was a rescue, bought off a drunken cowboy down the road for $250 & a VW carcass. Funniest looking horse who wasn't afraid of anything but spooked at anything the way Arabs sometimes do. He wasn't broke at all. never gave me any trouble except that he refused to rein back. He learned on our 10th or 12th ride, trail ride. Riding along an old ranch road by the train tracks. Train came along. Appy froze, looked at the train & began running backwards. I pretedned that's what I wanted, applied appropriate aids, & by the time we got back to the barn, that horse ~ no joke ~ would've jumped a picnic table backwards. He felt like he could jump ~ you know, that athletic, swinging feeling all athletic horses have at the walk, even when green broke. I was in my dressage saddle, talking to a friend on the other side of the fence. Something spooked hime & he jumped out of the ring from a stands... anyhow, a good draft cross is always fun,

1st time I ever heard about these mountain horses - thanks for the lesson. They look great. I love to trail ride.

6:18 HOLY CRAP THIS HORSE IS BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤❤

As soon as I saw the gravel road leading from Gardiner, I knew you were heading to my favorite town, Jardine. It was an old dream to retire there. Lol. Loved watching your visit to this auction and the advice for those interested in attending one. Very enjoyable!

I genuinely have no clear idea why I like these videos so much .Probably because the horses rather speak for themselves ,such wonderful creatures as they are but also the information, explanations,and stories of each horse capture one’s imagination and frequently one’s heart.

I’m learning so much about raising horses here on your channel. It’s therapeutic to watch. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful horses, beautiful scenery...thank you for taking us along for another interesting auction video...💜🐎

As usual it was most interesting to see what you were able to show us and listen to your thoughts and explanations from being at these sales. I was also impressed by the attitude and general behaviour of the folks visiting this sale - none of the silly razzmatazz and blatant showing off of some of vendors at some previous sales you have attended!

…The scenery was gorgeous, and I am glad that you safely found your way there. So many adorable babies. 🥰 Thank you for the video. 🩶🐴🩶

Great to see Montana represented. Thank you.

Beautifull country. Seems like all the stock was in pretty good shape.

Thank you so much, CC, for your detailed tour of the mountain horses. They are stunning! Every horse-girl should buy one for the back country as they may be our only way to get around. My dad had Appys so I am partial to them but love the bays! Awesome report!

Lovely video. I wish you could’ve taken home the pinto weanling - he looked stellar.

Those were very nice horses. And an excellent group. I would not have been able to leave empty handed.

You are the first person ever that I have subscribed to! I’m guessing that means I will be notified when you have a new video. Your auction videos are fascinating because we don’t have horse auctions in New Zealand with very rare exceptions. Even to purchase from our small wild horse population you have to apply because your property is checked out in advance to ensure you have the proper facilities and knowledge before you are allowed to purchase - these are for horses that are only $250, so that isn’t an auction process like what you attend. The 'normal' horse auction for you is very foreign to me. I like the parts where you are checking out the horse for conformation and signs you look for in temperament. Your clip showing the trailhead where you can camp for free at the end of this video I was swooning with envy at the vast lands not covered in fences and gates.

I loved you sharing this horse sale and talking about the saddles too . The Horses were beautiful ! Great advice taking a screenshot for directions before losing reception .

Thank you. What beautiful healthy, horses. They seemed to like people too. More wholesome than a bowl of oatmeal. ❤

That lil paint was gorgeous

This was really enjoyable to watch. A very different kind of horse auction. Loved the casual riders.

You are a Lady of many talents and much knowledge.👍👍👍👍

Thanks for taking us along .enjoying this a lot

I was shocked to see that blanketed appy filly went So Cheap at only $2000! She was the image of my girlhood dream horse.

You are an amazing person. Thank you with all my heart ❤I

Love your videos and how kind and loving to horses you are, thank you

WOW beautiful horses!!!!! And country

Great sale and really showed off these beautiful horses. That paint baby ❤

Beautiful horses!!!

Those Mountain Horse's Are Beautiful & All Had Nice Tempermant's. Never New Anything About Them. Thank's For Taking Us Along !

What a bunch of gentle babies.

It's always good to revisit any of your videos. I watch you while I do self care in the morning and it is always a treat. Namaste'

OMG.....All of these backwoods trail horses looked well fed & cared for! Very impressive......thanks for sharing! God bless.....

Hello @TheCleverCowgirl, I started watching the wonderful horses today, ❤❤❤, those mountains are beautiful...

Great video and horses ty for taking. Me with you

wonderful gorgeous horses beautiful scenery and people

Really interesting video. I laughed when you said you might pick up a saddle "for a project" like you need more to do! Enjoyed the baby snuggling the most. It was also nice seeing a sale where the horses looked well taken care of. 😀

You do a great job putting these together! And you build saddles too? What a skill set you have! Wowza! Thanks for being an inspiration!

I was completely captivated. I felt along for the ride. I'm glad you take is with you. Who would have ever thought we'd be able to travel the world, into other people's experiences of life. You're a delightful human. I'm so pleased animals and you have each other. Big sky's, challenging country. Queensland Australia.

Great video - I enjoy learning about horses and auctions. Thanks!

It wasn't meant to be this time but just going out and seeing somewhere new is always an adventure 🏕️

Absolutely love Montana!!! Inwa blown away of the beauty! The road you took to the auction was the road we rode on to Sturgis! We made many stops! Floored by the beautiful motorcycle or horseback

What a lovely part of the world 😃 It's a shame that you didn't pick up the coloured foal, he was a beauty. Oh well there's always another auction! Thanks for taking us along 🦘🦘🦘

Montana.Wow! beautiful country plus beautiful horses .it's my dream to see wild horses running.

WOW.......I really liked these back-country horses that were big & solid.....always have like Cobb type horses around 15.2 hands.. Thanks for sharing this auction. 😊 God bless.....

Omg the little black Appaloosa foal I would love to have ❤❤❤ Just beautiful little foal ❤❤❤

Wow, I love these horses! To bad you didn't get that paint foal she/he was perfect. Thank you for the video...

Beautiful scenery. The horses were gorgeous. Like you l liked only one horse. Nice auction. Out of my price line too. Thank you for sharing.

My dad was born in Butte, and on my mother's side, my great great grandparents, John Craig, settled Craig, Montana. We love it there!

Love that they start the horses at four... I raised and showed Arabians and Appaloosas for over 40 years ...did the prep ground work at three...and put couple of rides on them then let them just be horses until 4 and then finished them....amazing how quickly they remember the start at three...agree you missed a buy on the paint baby....will continue to watch your channel.......enjoy ít

I always learn something from your commentary. Thanks.

Beautiful country!! 🙏🏻

Beautiful horses 😊

Love these mountain horses! ❤

Great video! ❤

Fun to see all those beauties! Too bad you didn't get one.....very enjoyable to see all those horses, hopefully, they all go to good homes. It's so hard to watch the auctions where you know the horses are going to be killed if they don't get adopted! And so unfair. We consider our own lives to be so precious, but with other species, we don't understand that they very much value their own lives, and want to live out a long and comfortable life too.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice bunch! I rode at the Nine Quarter Circle Ranch and they had nice Appies as well.

Nice sale, thanks for sharing this video. My favorites were the big mare, the app, and of course that paint foal.

That little filly @14:00 made me perk up. She is beautiful! I sure hope her new people appreciate her and are good to her, but I hope that about every auction horse I see. She is special, though...

That paint colt was a keeper🎉

What a wonderful life you live. Im happy for you. ❤

I am a new subscriber- really enjoy your videos! I am moving to Montana, so that made it even more fun to discover your channel 😁

Yes!, Howdy howdy howdy.omg I'm doing glad I saw this wonderful horse and his beautiful journey with a little ❤ the results amazing. Good for you the horses are very lucky to have you. P.S.--If Pete would like a new home he is most welcome with me, I am without horse for a first time in my life and well I'm very much like you I could tell you a story about my Trigger Joe whom I never let go once I saved him at age of 16 he passed when I was 37. Am 42 now. Sry to ramble on but seeing your video I got super excited.Anywau nice to see you enjoy your days. Bye 4 now luv me Linz

Montana looks spectacular. It would be a lovely place to visit especially on horse back through the Bach country.

I ride jumpers, I want one of these lovely quiet pack horses. One of my horses hates being in nature. Not kidding, will stand up on his hind legs when I suggest a walk in the woods. However, he lives for horse shows! He’s been there done that, so there’s no pressure at home. Get him to a show and he puffs up and moves like a rocket. I love him. But a trail horse would be awesome too.

Great video! It is both entertaining and very informative.

I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Those are beautiful horses. I learn so much watching your videos.

Paint mom and baby were the stars of the show!

This ismy 2nd video of yours I watched. I love your presentation exceptionally great. I love how well you went through all parts of this auction! I am so sorry you didn't get that mare & that adorable colt. I love also how low key everything was, all the area to roam around in. You made me want more to see, since there was so many gorgeous horses & babies left to see. SO SORRY YOU HAD TO LEAVE, I WISH ARRANGEMENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN MADECSO YOU COULD HAVE STAYED LONG. YOUR $25.00 baby (NO ONE WANTED) DREW ME INTO SUBSCRIBE. So happy I did You just are special & caring, but you just have that (SOMETHING ELSE) which I really love about you. I am in New Orleans & owned 2 horse at 16, kept down the road at my BGF Daddy Creole Tomatoes farm.I am really looking forward to the next auction, GOOD LUCK I WILL BE WITH YOU❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊DONRIS

A lot of tail swishing going on! Loved the little pinto baby. I'd be hard pressed not to have bid on it. Mom was nice, too. You have great horse sense. Glad you spotted the trail head. That will be nice to come back to. To me, the prices were insane, but then I realize trails horses with good temperaments and sturdy conformation are worth it.

I love that you and free spirit don't start foals until they are 4 years old. I mean of course grooming and leading them and haltering and picking up theyre feet to train is ok. But bridleing them and saddleing and riding No wait until they are grown 😊

That Palomino colt is gorgeous.

Wow...some really fine horses. Sorry you didn't buy that little paint colt or the baby appaloosa. Having them and their mamas would have been primo. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see these horses land in the hands of good owners ..

That dunn was gorgeous

What!? You build and restore saddles? You are amazing, girl!

I love your channel

So many nice horses❤

I loved that paint colt, wish you could have brought him home. Or that beautiful appaloosa.

That Appy Filly is My Dream Pony... Awwwwwe! ♡

I stumbled on your video by sheer accident but I enjoyed it very much. I'm french and it was very interesting seeing the difference between what is looked for in a horse here as opposed to what you look for in a working horse. For example the same horse will usually sell higher here if it's a mare than a gelding because she can reproduce but isn't as hard to manage than a stud. However I can imagine that if reliability and calm temper is one of the most important factors a mare who'll go in heat many times a year is not ideal compared with a gelding.

Love this!! I haven’t seen you take a horse home for yourself on your channel yet. I hope you do soon!

Thanks for an informative vid

I personally liked the dun mare great video!

So cool!

I get the tack “fetish”. I love browsing tack stores and any time I’m in a country store like TSC I have to go check out the tack aisle, even though I haven’t owned a horse in 40+ years.

Can't believe you didn't bid on some of thies horses!! Beautiful and good prices on lots of them.wanted that applosia baby so bad!❤

Aww, that little paint foal was so lovely. I’m sorry you didn’t bid on him & get him. I guess the high price his mama fetched put a few people off bidding on him too in thinking his $ price would be pricey too. I’d like to think there are lovely horses in store for you; just waiting for the right time.
