- From the HorseTV Global Archives- Wild Mustangs have been a part of the western U.S. for hundreds of years. Learn about steps being made to both manage the wild Mustang herds, and provide an opportunity for feral horses to become useful citizens with desensitizing and formal training.
Horses are such beautiful, graceful animals. Never get tired of watching them.

Me too...I have a small rescue herd..I'm retired...I prefer them to people...I hate what America is doing to these animals...its barbaric...its about cattle rights...maybe a rethink is needed. I can't watch this as the beaurea of land management has broken previous promises to set aside land...ie reduces more and more of the land to allow grazing....its sick.
Ten years ago, my sister, nephew and I visited our aunt in AZ. We went to the Grand Canyon and when leaving we were able to see a small herd of horses running across the landscape. What a fitting sight.

They are not safe from slaughter, they end up at auction and in the slaughter pipeline.

What a treat to see!
Just Wow !!!! Those horses are beautiful. We got a little horse from a guy that saves them from going to be killed 🤨 he had only had a rope thing on his head. We had a friend that picked him up to train him. Awesome guy, he flat out knows what he’s doing. That little horse was so good. The boys were little when we got the horse, he let them little kids do everything with him.
I have been a horseman all my 76 years and this program has impressed me immensely. Congratulations and God blessings to you all for an exemplary job and your love for the Mustang. ❤
Did you ever milk a stallion 😛
And here I am seeing a horse makes me happy 😅

If anyone ever checked the would find it to be so
The wrangler at 18:00 sharing his observations /wisdom about why wild Mustangs have such naturally good hoof health 'good blood flow to hooves, no lumps, worn naturally, issues develop when man messes with them' ...horse owners usually know this, but it makes so much more sense now, good observation ..thank you.
Can’t agree with “horse owners usually know this.“ I see too many misshapen and unbalanced feet around nowadays due to poor shoeing. It is true that if you look at 50 mustangs their feet will all be worn off the same with the doso-palmer angle correct, the medial lateral correct, and the frog on the ground. Quality of farrier‘s over the years has declined. There are too many guys out there with shoeing tools but a lack of knowledge of both horses, and feet on horses. There are still good ones out there of course, but you see too many problems caused by poor shoeing that have to be “remedied” by adding clips, wedges or other devices on the shoe. There are of course practical applications for all those things, but it should not be caused by poor shoeing.

Stop messing with mother nature
maybe men should leave them the hell alone. Nature sorts itself out
I've got two of these beautifull Mustangs - Everythig I learned about horses , they taught me. Great Movie-
Mustang, borrowed from Spanish Mustango or Mesteño. The best Andalucian horses brought to the Americas. The same that Cowboys, typical Andalucian horse ryders. Cheers from Spain (Malaga), my American friends.
Thank you! That''s good new story about these wild horses. 😊
Horses are one of the most majestic animals on earth
elephants
And HIGHLY INTELLIGENT!
I would have loved to have learned the skills of Steve (the horse whisperer) when I was young. I would have loved to have made a career out of working with horses like that. What a rewarding life. This was a wonderful program.
My favorite horseman is someone I can't even understand!: Martín Ochoteco, el Domador de Caballos, in Argentina. Even when available, the subtitles don't always make sense, and are distracting, so I've needed to watch multiple times, then... without sound. 😏 He hasn't posted anything to TH-cam lately, but the older episodes are probably still available. That said, Ryan Rose is amazing, too. I imagine there's many good horse people around the globe (they love their 'unstructured' horse racing in Outer Mongolia, too. 😊
Love the wild Mustangs. My horse of choice. Wish I could adopt a couple. ❤❤
You can
People forget wild horses. fight many wars. in history. Brutal wars. So many of this horses blood line fight brutal. I have much Respect for this beautiful animal. 🙏🙏🙏
Jesus will come back again someday soon. Prophecy says He will come back with an Army on horseback.....glowing white ..
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story ❤
I was kid with parents in Montana seeing horses on hillside next to restaurant we were just leaving. Dad had horses at home so we were around horses all time. Locals were shocked we got horses to come too us across fencing. They were saying they were wild!
I'm no horse whisper, but I was raised an worked on horse ranch for vet an human doctor. Vet saw me laying across horse in stall like body in movie. Master (they called me master) What an how are you doing that? This horse never been ridden? I showed her brush in my hand. I was just brushing other side where he had an itch. We have agreement, he has itch I scratch it! Vet left barn laughing!

Stop killing my MUSTANGS!
It’s wonderful❤what you doing to find good homes for the ❤BEAUTIFUL❤ Horses ❤I hope the adoption be for LOVING ❤BEAUTIFUL❤❤HEARTS❤
I'm really fond of the wild horses of the Arrowhead Mountain range in Montana ! They are some of the strongest and smartest horses to ever roam wild !
As much as I love horses, they are an invasive species in all the Americas. No different than Wild Boars , and Pythons.
I remember when I tried to purchase a horse during the Covid Quarantine, but was disappointed to see how expensive a decent horse costed. I decided to travel to North America with my brother to "purchase" a Mustang in the wild. We contacted some cowboys and got the job done. The biggest difficulty was shipping it back home. Great horse and It now has a beautiful foal! :)
What country you from? And how much did to cost to by the horse and also the price to ship it to whatever country your in?
I’m on that page right now it is ridiculous, even adopting one is so expensive. I have the land, money and time but refuse to pay that much for a horse absolutely ridiculous.
@@godzilla6490 Bulgaria
@Notmyrealname0 Adopting a wild mustang is only $125 .... unless you get in a bidding war.
So you stole a wild horse ... that's illegal. They are federally protected in the United States.
That 5.0L V8 sound of those mustangs are incredible!
What about the Camaro? Kidding
I've loved horses my entire life.These Mustangs are BEAUTIFUL.Saving these wild Mustangs is like saving a soul!! Thank You for sharing this video.😊❤🐎🐎
Horses are so beautiful and the smell better than cows and some humans. The program is well done. Thanks.
It's exciting to see such a round up! Glad your organization is saving so many animals. We have mustangs in the bootheel of Missouri. They are protected!
I've had a Spanish Mustang, they're amazing!
Then you might enjoy our TV Episode on the Spanish Mustang. You can find it here:

@@HorseTVGlobal Thank you I will!
It’s beautiful what you’re doing for these magnificent animals God bless you
Great documentary. Credit to the program management and participants for their unselfish efforts. Human interaction with horses, is part of evolution. Its an ancient relationship, that has provided for the progress of human development. Horses are an intergral part of human existance.
I want that Appaloosa I caught a glimpse of. Beautiful Red and White. Add some blue and its an all American horse.
What a beautiful horses !
I am glad to watch.
This was a beautiful documentary of Wild Mustang Horses, I was glued to the screen the entire time! I wish I was there to adopt a few of those horses. My dad would be chomping at the bits to get a few.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful horses. They all need good homes, beautiful run and free.
😮 boy is that an oxymoron, needs a good home, run wild n free. :( ... they had a home and ran wild and free!!! 😢😢😢
wow! this is a pretty dangerous job! magnificent
I think wild animals fared well before human intervention as nature often takes care of itself, it’s human that throws things off with our actions, horses are majestic and beautiful and I like seeing them in the wild, I didn’t know wild horses were still out there so very interesting documentary
Watch the movie wild Beauty, Mustang spirit of the west.
Nature is heartless and cruel. This fantasy is just that.
Pjjjj@@horselady65
Man kind screws up nature. Only the Native Americans respected all of nature.
@@avelinaosborne32
The rounds ups are cruel. It's not necessary. For yesrs these horses lived free.
Now ranchers want the land. Big business wants the minerals from the land.
great movie
It is heartbreaking to see this even if for their own good overall. So majestic and beautiful!
Don’t know much but always wondered that if left to their own devices, would they not extend their territories thus bettering their chances for survival?
💯🤌🔥 Exactly
It’s been studied and the majority would not fare as well as they do and can here. 👍
Yes but the problem is, they don't have enough room to do so since man, cities, etc. have taken over so much land.
Gee, let's think about the mustangs that end up in the slaughterhouses. That's where some end up. We are not helping the mustangs but hurting them. Leave them wild, let nature handle their life. You are lining someone's pockets. The public will start realizing this is not good. When humans get involved it is money motivated. People educate yourself on this and all the other crap they do to these animals. What about the pregnant mares that are confined for their urine. Money all the way. Animals have no voice, we need to be that voice. Help them to be wild. Stop using all defenseless animals.
@@Bebold94 yes, this is easily seen in what happened to the wild horses of Canada. the horses were destroying the landscape and throwing off the ecological system and they had to all be removed to save the land. all because of the lack of territory from the settlement of man.
Many of the horses are injured in these round ups but they have taken 45,000 of these horses and put them in holding pens all around the Country.
Thank you. This is a beautiful fairy tale but nothing like the round ups I've watched. Wonder if the holding facilities are shown in reality , how people would feel?
@@dianapodrovitz3067 what is the alternative tho? allow them to reproduce unchecked and destroy the environment?
The alternative is really simple. Get the ranchers livestock off the areas legally mandated for the horses. We shouldn't be subsidizing private land owners livestock feeding costs at the expense of wild horses and what is left of heritage /historical assets. There would be plenty of room then and also appoint a board of wild horse advocates to manage the ranges and adoptions if they deem them needed. Their habitat and natural predators do a pretty good job of keeping them in check. Mother Nature and our Creator seem to know what they are doing. Land legally mandated for our wild life should never be leased to private land owners to graze their animals. @@cshepard09
ummmm destroy the environment. What do you think about all of the cattle that are "destroying" the environment, or agriculture with our mono crops......they don't need good homes,,, they need to be allowed to run free....that is my opinion. I know it is ot shared by many. Namaste'@@cshepard09
@@cshepard09 the environment is theres not ours, and most don't over breed , they breed according to the food and water in there surroundings
Wow, that was magnificent! Thank you & God bless you!! 🐎🇺🇸🐎
Absolutely heart breaking viewing! Hate BLM with great passion. They r destroying the last icons of Northern America using taxpayers money and lame excuses...go and watch real heroes struggle to save them - Skydog org....amazing sanctuary for mustangs and donkeys...
😊😊😊😊
The beginning, looked like an PBS station i.d. commercial from years ago. 🐎🐎🐎🐎
Outstanding Achievement in the Mustang and wild horse management Organization !!
TYSM!
False info. Visit the holding pens unannounced.
@@equine2020thank you. It is horrific what I read. @wildhorses.wildplaces has an extremely sad post on ig of what went on on Sept. It makes me mad and sad.
@Awesomedogs47 Do some research, this is NOT the norm. The mustangs suffer great abuse from a lot of bad actors. The reason they remove them from the land has more to do with big cattle ranchers wanting the grazing land for their cattle. It's more about the money. While there may be a few people who genuinely care about the mustangs, most just view them as a money wasting nuisance.
I'm not even going to watch this. Might like it. Might not. I had a mustang. His name was Bob. He was..as follows.He didn't like his head messed with. Every time I took him out, I had to "catch" him. I used to be a real cowboy on a real working ranch my parents were partners in. He was my favorite horse and I loved him so much. It broke my heart when I decided to find my own path outside of farm/ranching and couldn't bring him with me. I don't want to know what happened to him because I honestly think I was the only person who understood him. He was ground broke. Great roping horse. Could run through rock flats so fast you weren't sure if you were going to live and cut like a $20K well trained horse. He had a neck as thick as an oak, hooves of steel, stamina beyond extreme and a heart of gold. I just hope I get to ride him again in the afterlife. I was in my 20's then. I'm in my 50's now. I'm hoping he's waiting for me and forgive me for leaving him to lesser horsemen.
Der Mustang ist das beste Pferd 🐎 der Welt fa ist jede Rasse drin deswegen ist er der beste
Thank you for ensuring that the adopted mustangs are truly well taken care of. Thank you for coming up with a win win program that hopefully benefits all involved.
Visit the holding pens. Horrors.
So many mustangs are mistreated because people just want the money they can get for adopting them.
So being penned for life beats freedom with your herd.
Come on. Some are sent to slaughter.
Don't believe everything you see. There is so many bad actors and a lot of abuse going on. They put them on overcrowded dry lots where the weaker starve when they are all forced to fight for hay. Then some are bought by people looking to make a quick buck. As a prey animal being rounded up by a noisy helicopter, theysuffer trauma, that some times causes behavior issues that people aren't willing to work with & endup send them to auction where kill buyers snatch them up for shipment t to slaughter to Mexico for dog food.
Whom the son sets free is free indeed.
It was sad to hear them say 'if we could find them' regarding the foals left behind and couldn't keep up with the herd while being herded with the helicopter! I hope that they find ALL of the foals!
Mustangs are not a breed. Most of them are offspring of poor quality horses turned out because they were no longer wanted.
Mustangs are now a breed of horses, I know I own 3 of them. These horses are so different from domestic horses. They don’t trust easily. If you don’t have a bond with them you will get no where with them.
No they don't find all the separated foals. So the babies die alone.
What beauty seeing the mustang horse in the wild and the presurvation of their lives.
I'm agree with u 😊
I've always been in love with horses since i was a kid.
There was a core memory with my grandfather when i rode a brown police horse. There were 2, it just happened that they walked past my grandpa house, and he asked the cop if i can ride it. The cop said yes, but the cop was the one who handle the rope.
I live in area where there are not so many horses here.
I've always in love with them, i've always want to have them.
And there's also this good movie titled Spirit : Stallion of the Cimarron that is soooo good. It's my favorite movie because it's about horses.
In the end i just want to have a piece of land for me to live with these horses and farm.
Because farm life is the best life.
As a person who was raised on horseback and on a farm-godspeed my friend it's the best life
и я бы хотела там жить с лошадьми
❤️ our Mustangs
Mustangs are not prima donas....but hardy and resilient....
Animals are really cute and lovely❤
He is so beautiful and intelligent
I could read that in australia ther are 400.000 wild horses
God bless these people for their exemplary work very talented. Stunning beautiful horses, I could live and breathe horses being born on a stud farm , but nothing is quite as beautiful as as freedom
Enjoyed every minute of this video. Thanks for posting it.
Funny how, as each horse is being rounded up and sold, that land is being replaced by cattle and sheep. Capturing them is really hard on them also. Being run as fast as they can for miles, injury happens, it's extremely sad how our wildlife is disappearing in front of our eyes. SICKENING
You fail at pretending to care
I would like to own one atleast once in a lifetime😢
Wow, I'll seen some wild horses in the USA, there very pretty! John P.
Brilliant doc on an animal and human interaction. Amazing how kindness builds trust and a life long bond. Wild horses respond to kindness so why we don't try it on wild humans beats me.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Unfortunately only so much room for so many mustangs. 😭😭. Special thanks to guest speakers sharing personal knowledge/information pertaining to the life styles of horses.
plenty of room for the million cattle though!
So beautiful , watching them run free
To run like a horse you have to let your soul feel free like a horse and forget about everything and let the wind blow through your heart and your body
How beautiful, hopefully i get to see them one day!
I hope there is always wild horses.
I have seen many americans who get wild mustangs and tame them and then sell them on.
Wonderful
❤Wonderful❤what you doing for the ❤BEAUTIFUL❤ ❤HORSES ,I hope they will be with ❤wonderful❤loving Families❤
I like horses very much.
Give me a 1964 ford's mustang and I am one's happy 🏕 thank you for sharing love video music 🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘
I love horses,I had one,that was a lovely to watch😊❤
Absolutely wonderful animals that deserve everything that we can give them especially the respect and comfort that they would want....
Absolutely shocking viewing...go watch Skydog rescues of these mustangs...see what really is happening to them...hate BML...from 2mil horses down to 40th??...and even that is too many for them...monsters founded by tax payers of America...shame...
@@Nitka022 : it must be political/money. Since China owns many acres in the west, I guarantee the land is for foreginer ownership and therefore anyone, like wild horses, must therefore be removed. This is insane ... same thing going on in Australia. How about we removed track-homes , strip malls, defunct shopping centers, etc. ? Eagles and wild horses represent America, and besides, they deserve to roam freely, have families and be in their herd of choice: humans cause all the issues on this planet.
Turnig horses into pet food .... outrageous! Thanks Obama (he authorized horses to rounded up and shipped to Cananda and Meixco for slaughter). But this insanity has been going on for decades...
This HORSEMAN LITERALLY SPEAKS HORSE❤
Dedication a must ...
Central America nice to go horseriding true nature Costa Rica u see wild horses running on the beache Awesome
they are so georgus
Mustang Very Beautiful ❤
Hello how about you quite a bit you're good what I see out of you get respect purses never did this before you're doing a great job teaching God bless you and your family keep up the great work
I wonder why Texas dosnt open some of its public lands to these horses they could help take some preasure off the small areas they live in
That Horsewhisperer Perfectly Described the Horseman Rick Gore. 😊
Wild horse 🐴🐴🐴
amazing😍🤞🌷✌️🧡🍻 from the Philippines 😘 happy new year 🎉🎈🎄
If we are rounding them to domesticate them how will there be any Wild Horses left in the Wild.
People amaze me. They suck for the most part.
exactly they talk of all these domesticated horses which defeats the whole purpose of the wild horse, we have plenty of domesticated horses and they are destroying the wild horse, mostly for cattle. humans kill everything just a matter of time and there will be no more wild horses in America! just cattle to be slaughtered for burgers. Wild West my arse!!
0:33 crazy horse❤️🇬🇧💯 0:42
You didn't mention the plans to do field neutering of mares, a major surgery by vets (students?), as population control. One of many horrific unmentioned aspects of this situation. Or how about the dark rings of delivery into the slaughter pipeline. Or the horses neglected and abused because romantic adopters find they can't handle wild steeds.
😢
Sadly, all true.
There needs to be oversight by knowledgeable, caring horsemen/horse women.
I learnt to ride on a mustang at the age of 9 in Africa. They're trainable..but only by kind means...
That's cruel
❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
I'm two mins in, and have yet to see an actual broomtail. These are a beautiful herd! Well managed and care for. This is not truthful...
The Nice Video
Sabe the mustang horses so beatiful love dee
Makes me so sad that I am too old and too broke to have one. Would LOVE to have a weanling to raise. I love mustangs (formerly showed Arabians.)
You’re never too old or broke don’t let that get you down
These horses are descended from the best of the best Spanish horses from Spain. They were working cattle in Spain long before quarter horses became of age in America. All of the horses that came to America were recorded by their names,color, and gender. Take a listen to Ian Tyson's La Primera. Charlie Goodnight of the Goodnight Loving Trail was given a Mustang when his family arrived in Texas. That little Mustang taught him how to ride. They can pick up your heartbeat from just a few feet away. They know who you are. I was totaly devestated to learn that a rancher in Colorado was given a group of Mustangs for $10 a head. He turned around and sold them for slaughter for over $4,000. It made me sick. Thank God for wonderful horse Mustang trainers like Isidro Espinoza in northern Arizona who know how to train them.
Looking after wild horses is adventures
From afar
They 🐎are 🐎all 🐎 very 🐎 lovely 🐎💃💜
К сожалению они не объезжаемы, но имеют невероятный норов только в дикой природе
Does freeze marking them hurt? Just 🧐 curious and is it less. Pain then branding? I live in Canada but am a city person so seeing a horse is better than celebrities lol
Freeze branding is painless for the horse. The horse just feels some coldness when the brand is applied, but it's no worse than grabbing a tray of ice cubes out of the freezer.
@@basedimperialism oh ok cool thanks for letting me know 😊 I appreciate it👍
@@kristenweekleyandcatbelly680 It's much better for the horse, too, and lasts longer. The low temperature de-pigments the hair follicles, which makes them turn white. Then, that area of the body can be groomed and cleaned like any other part of the body, unlike a heat brand, because the hair follicles will continue to grow in white and won't re-pigment, unlike a heat brand that would scar and require medical attention.
At one point this video said that horses did not come here until 500 years ago. Now it is saying millions of years ago. For one thing, the Earth is not that old!
The guy whistles when he speaks 🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic! They appear to have a pretty good programme running there & woah what a beautiful breed the Mustang is❤
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you. God bless you. 😊Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
❤ ils sont magnifiques fiers et libres maiss pour combien de temps...😮
God the poor babies trying to keep up 😢
Wild mustangs are one of the best symbols of the Western heritage. But when you put sentiment aside, they are actually a feral animal. They compete with other native animals, for forage, such as Mule Deer, Antelopes, etc. They also compete with cattle, sheep and domestic horses. Those range lands have a certain carrying capacity and it can’t be exceeded.
The last time I rode a horse we went over a frozen creek and he was sliding on the ice, scared me to death. No more horse ridng for me.
love....
If only it was all as positive as portrayed here. It's not unusual for young foals to be injured or separated from their mothers. Many of the older stallions will be gelded and live out the rest of their lives in holding pens, separated from their families with whom they had strong bonds. Some are found to be in poor condition, not receiving enough food and supplements in these pens. When the pens become overcrowded, horses over 10 years old can be sold to buyers from Canada and Mexico where they will be slaughtered. There are not anywhere near enough adopters for the horses that are removed from the BLM land. Many of these horses are removed, not because they are damaging the land, but because ranchers want to run more sheep and cattle, or hunters want land for hunting. Also, birth control is used on many of the mares and is fairly effective. There is going to be another "gather" this October '23.
Also, the family relations in this video are extremely simplified. There is often more than one stallion in the group - the boss and a lieutenant who helps defend the herd. The stallions are often very loving and caring for the younger horses in the group. They will usually have a special mare with whom they bond. Mares will sometimes choose which stallion they want to be with and will split off from a larger group. Some family groups are just one mare, one or two of her offspring, and a stallion. Studying the families is complex and fascinating, not at all as is usually portrayed. These families are torn apart during gathers. Older stallions who have lost their mares will often join younger stallions and "mentor' them. A healthy horse can live 30+ years, so the idea that a horse that is 10+ should be removed is just an arbitrary standard.
As you know, there are no easy, or absolute solutions to this issue, we hope someday there is. The video shows just one of several programs and attempts to find equitable solutions for all involved; but obviously, any program will have residual issues that result from the efforts. Thanks for your thoughtful input.
@@HorseTVGlobal there wont be "easy and absolute solutions" because there are too many other interests at hand as the user above mentioned. The only focused here is "the land" while wild horses are killed at every round up, and the suffering before their deaths is heartbreaking. A balanced video would have shown both sides of the story, BLM and those who want them to roam free.
Why does there need to be a solution!? It’s not your problem. Seeing wild horses is one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had. Leave them alone.
Como en todo, si los humanos desaparecieran, todos los animales se las arreglarían perfectamente para prosperar.
En esta ecuasión, somos el elemento que sobra.

I loved watching them run from the helocopter some gorgeous horses their.
As soon as they introduced Ken Hicks, the helo pilot to us I'm thinking,, "Well now, IF Jim is the best there is,, he's look'n kinda 'long in tha tooth' as best I can tell,, what they gonna do when Ken can't get his pilot's license renewed? They'd best get 'em a young one as good as Ken and they better get 'er dun real soon!"
I was lucky to see a small heard running the hills in Nevada it was so cool! My Aunt also had one of these horses named Nevada, beautiful horse he was choclate brown with black hair and maybe a star on his forhead, its been so long ago. She gave him a great life and never did get to ride him! Atleast now they are rideable. Curious if they fix them? That is the key to population is to fix them so they can't over populate?! If you go thru all this, you misewell fix them at the same time, I'm sure all this costs tons of money, what millions?
