He's got the magic touch. He amazes me.

Same here, I sure miss the "old days"

I tried to adopt him months ago but the person on the phone said i had to be experienced with mustangs when his bio says that you could take him to a trainer- 👁👄👁

@@fairygodmomma2313 obviously you know nothing about training horses or you wouldn't make such a asinine comment!

@@debiewers651 Wow. You are so rude! Maybe it’s yourself that doesn’t understand. I retrain rescue dogs for service dogs and I’m sure it’s a bit different but there are many similarities and one thing you never want to do with an abused or untrained animal is to “flood” them. This just sets you back so far, that you are causing more damage than you are fixing! It’s not like the horse is not being socialized if it not in a formal training session! It is being fed and interacted with every day. We have much better training understanding now, than we used to have and we understand something called “latent learning”. This means that the animal continues to learn and remember after a session. It’s so much more effective to do a short train and then let the dog (or horse) do something else for a bit and then bring them back in, than it is to do a full hard training sessions. Until the animal has learned to LOVE training, you are just going to sour them. Too much training, too fast, is not the way to go with these guys. An unhandled animal needs time to process what’s happening to him and change his attitude from fear and “fight or flight” to eagerness for more contact. Horses and dogs CAN NOT LEARN!! if their brains are not relaxed enough to use their frontal cortex instead of their limbic/reactive back brain.

No the problem is that the mustangs are on public land and the policy is to keep the numbers down by rounding up groups of horses and removing them. The authorities do not want them there. If they were released, they would just round them up again and there are many of them in holding pens, around the country, (sometimes for years), eventually the state just auctions them and the kill buyers get them. In my opinion, it’s a flawed strategy because we disrupt their natural ways of balancing their numbers and we have some better strategies, like going in and neutering and vaccinating then releasing them. That way they stay in their family groups and keep other herds from increasing to fill the territories created by removing random groups. We have done this with stray dogs in some countries and it’s very very effective. If you just keep removing them, more just move into the area. If you neuter and leave them in place, they control their territory and keep it stable. This really cuts down on fighting and injuries and wandering into other areas. A stable group will set its territory and stick to it, causing less damage to neighbours properties.

Cattle ranchers want all the horses gone because they eat the grass....they pressured for laws to remove the horses that end up slaughtered for meat.....There has never been "too many horses"......

I disagree. Felix brings to mind felines. Stealth, nimble and beautiful. Wondering what type of experience you have had with an old man named Felix in your past 😂. Regardless, to say it feels like abuse is just odd.

The animals are typically named by our Facebook fans.

I think the name fits him just fine beautiful horse ❤❤❤

That was my first thought, what a terrible name for this beautiful Mustang.

@@fairygodmomma2313 I’m glad that you like it, but we are all entitled to our opinion and my immediate reaction was what a horrendous name for a Mustang.
