Watch as we go through the Ridgecrest Holding Facility and pick out mustangs for two different TIP challenges:
SoCal TIP:
/ socaltipchallenge
Sacremento TIP:
/ 1108928929290035
www.isidroespinozahorsemanshi...
If you're interested in competing or just following the events, click the above links!
*Yes we are using "cute" and "pretty" to describe the horses sometimes... and yes we are all trainers... this video was not meant to go in-depth and tear apart every single horses conformation and temperament... it was laid back just showing the cool facility and awesome mustangs. Sometimes less detail is more, and it leaves room for you to make your own judgement on the horse. Relax people, it's a fun video for anyone who wants to see what a holding facility is like and how the sorting is done :)

I would choose the one to adopt by doing that. Walk into the pen and let the right one choose me. It shows the right combination of more curiosity and less fear.

Cloud's herd is in the Pryor Range in Montana/Wyoming & many of his family members are rounded up & removed. He was an official ambassador animal & was rounded up all the time but always released. He has not been seen since 2016 & is presumed dead

@MrPerfect1986 I understand your concern and thank you! It’s good that you’re raising awareness about how hard it actually it. Even though it will be my first time, I’ve been working with horses for 10 years. I’ve read hours of videos, documentaries, read books, magazines, and articles about gentling a mustang. I will even get professional help if need be. I’m going to do a private adopting so I can choose a horse that feels calm enough for me to start with. Thank you for your concern! I’ve got it figured out :)

The ones coming to you would be the perfect ones to adopt. They're already showing signs of curiosity about what you are. Getting them to buddy up with you would help get them to trust you the quickest. That would help put you ahead in training.

OMG!!! I'd soooo love to meet you. I'm in Phoenix, AZ. I'm wanting to adopt a wild Mustang. I have so many questions. I'd LOVE to sit down and get answers from you since you have hands on experience. I've owned many horses and I'm knowledgeable with what's involved with caring for them. However, it'll be my first go around with a wild Mustang. Do I need to wait for an Auction or can I go to a holding facility like this one a pick one?

@amechelb 4 жыл бұрын

I think it depends on the specific facility. You should go to the mustang website. They show where all of them are and the contact info so you can call and inquire at each for yourself.

Yes, as long as the mustang is labeled "sale authority". Instead of adopting, you buy the animal outright and there's no year-long waiting period.

@emilymullerthibault4321 4 жыл бұрын

@@Horseyast yep! You can still purchase them through the BLM, you are just slightly limited as to what you can pick from. 3 strike horses are $25, and the strikes dont mean that they aren't good horses! It just means that they were either passed up at 3 adoptions, older than 10 years old, or adopted and returned. (the BLM people will be able to tell you which) sometimes the whole facility will have an adoption day, and only a handful out of hundreds are rehomed. The rest get strikes put on their record. I've seen 2 year olds with 10+ strikes on them, due to no fault of their own!

Maybe they do, but so do a lot of animals around the planet. Seeing the adult horses coming up to the girls, I feel like is a huge testament to the enriching lives they can have when adopted and gentled. When you get people to stop building sprawling highways in every bit of open land, then we can talk about giving these beautiful creatures back their land.
