Day One With A Wild Mustang | My New Project Horse

It appears the wild horses are use to using their brains more than domestic raised ones. Which makes sense. Nice looking animal, alert, handsome.

I’m so happy you chose him. As soon as I saw him in that pen I fell in love with him. I’m so impressed with how sweet and curious he is right from the get go. I think he’s going to learn fast and he’s going to fall in love with you. He looks like a lover in the making. Can’t wait to see his progress.

I admire your work. So patient and calm. I’ve seen too many people try to rush things and end up hurting the horse. Thank you for setting an amazing example of what genuine horsemanship is

I like him. You picked the best one. He’s gonna be worth a packet when you finish him.

In a sense, it really is quite simple. Unfortunately most people are so unaware, and make it about themselves and not the horse. You are so calm and patient and considerate with Lucky. He is picking up your requests very well. It is a pleasure to watch the two of you working together! As for the breathing into the nose thing - my farrier is an Indian. He does that with every new horse he meets. He says his tribe has done this for decades/generations, so it is a "real thing". And ... the horses and mules and donkey just love him! His daughter followed in his footsteps, and now her kids are. Knowing and working WITH the horse is such a beautiful sight! Especially when the youngest of the family farrier line is a 12 year old who started when he was 10. I want to go adapt another one now! I miss this. I look forward to watching Lucky's journey.

I absolutely cannot wait to see his journey! You guys are doing absolutely amazing. As a viewer I appreciate seeing all the parts. I feel as though some people only show the highlights. It's not all rainbows and sunshine... especially when you're dealing with a wild horse. Thank you so much!

I love this video! He is so handsome I don’t know why but when I look at him the name Caspian comes to mind.

"He doesn't like kisses yet ... he'll learn" made me chuckle

Lots of distracting noises. He is still learning to chill. He is very smart.

I love his colour and he seems calm

Blown away you got him to this stage in a day!

I'm beyond amazed at the progress. While I've seen colts started, they have been handled from birth, and not born wild like this handsome boy. I can't wait to see more work with him.

He’s an awesome Mustang! Love him 😁😍 I’m excited to watch the rest of his journey into a new home❤️🤗

You and Samantha VanFleet do an amazing job I also watch the Espinoza’s my son rode with them on his first endurance ride you guys all have the same gentle touch and respect for them and you guys just do such a great job I love watching all your guises trainings💕💕💕💕💕

I know all about those white wild mustang's. I had one and it made when of the best horses I ever owned! Went from destroying the horse trailer bringing it home to making a great riding horse, to the point I could sit my children on it and it would walk em around and bring em right back to me! Just takes time and patience

One day I will own a horse again and if I have to start from scratch I will. I will learn from you. (New subscriber)

I'm really liking this horse! He seems really smart, nice legs and neck. He's going to be a great mover too. I bet he would be great at reining or cutting! Smart and quick

Thank you for the wonderful and strenuous work you do for these horses. YOU are making a difference and helping with a much bigger problem. Keep up the good work. I was surprised to see negative comments but in today's world....everybody knows everything 😜😜😜 Keep your head up, seems though you have been trained extremely well, though still young there's always room for learning more. You are going to be an even more amazing trainer as the years pass.

Great first day. The nostril blowing is something I learned from an old trainer I had (he was in his 70’s back in the 1980’s). It has always worked for me even with other types of livestock. Great day. Congratulations!
