I absolutely love mustangs and think they are amazing horses, I want one someday, but a completely ungentled mustang IS NOT for a beginner/first time horse owner! Green on green make black and blue. Even if you were working closely with a professional trainer it is not a good idea. It is far better to get a "been there, done that" horse to learn on while you learn. Believe me, I know. It will save you and the horse a lot of grief and trial and error. I admire your love for this amazing breed and I understand the appeal these amazing horses,but it would have been better to wait until you have more experience with horse ownership and equitation before you made a HUGE commitment like an ungentled Mustang.
Thicc Moon - irresponsible is putting it nicely. This is idiotic. And that clip of the fencing at the end? Not even remotely appropriate for keeping domestic horses, let alone feral ones. People like this are why I end up taking in and “retraining” the rejected and unsafe horses that their inexperience leads to, and then find them good homes with proper care.
Inexperience can get you hurt , but being complacent as “ professional” trainers become -also gets them hurt . No one is born or graduates from school to become a trainer . As a green owner many years ago I’ve learned from other people’s mistake as well as my own every horse is different if you think you’ve seen it all sometime you haven’t, a green owner has a different point of view that can benefit your program
I purchased a barely gentled filly as a green rider at 13 years old. Best learning experience ever and I got to build my heart horse. Everyone said "green on green makes black and blue" and were royally scared of my horse. Called her a mutt (aphc registered) and said I'd sell it. I laughed and used their harsh words as fuel, we were walk trot canter in a week and jumping within the next few months. She's 11 now and is the perfect all purpose horse.
That light colored horse just walks and puts her ears back and they all move out of her way. Oh, is thst the gelding in your title? OK then, him. Still impressive
I suggest you watch all the vids on You Tube with Clinton Anderson and John Lyons (whom I have had the pleasure of working in the round pen with). Sam Vanfleet is also a favorite of mine as her style and mine mirror somewhat. I appreciate your honesty and courage to share the vid. Living thru the encounter is always a good idea, hence the tools. I am really glad you made it without more serious injuries.
Hello, and thanks for your comments! We do not advocate using fear, pain, or dominance to train horses. Take a look at my more recent videos to get an idea of what we do. Our focus is on two-way communication, breaking every task into tiny steps until the horse understands, and providing incentive for the horse to feel good about his job.
@@BreakHabitsNotHorses Thanks for the reply. Horses don't ask for "jobs" and I'm sure he would rather you go watch tv and leave him alone. Domination is going to exist
@@jerrymartin8076 @Jerry Martin yep, these horses would rather still be running wild living their best horsey lives, putting him in a pen and subjecting him to human wishes IS dominating. Whether these people want to call it dominating, pain & fear or not, it doesn't matter the words humans say, it matters what the horse thinks and feels of the situation. Now personally I feel what Clinton Anderson presents for training in his videos is too generalized for mass amounts of people and is too intense for horses that are more sensitive, and have a higher anxiety or fear level, at least for the average joe at home to implement when they already don't know how to read what a horse is telling them. Using a round pen should always be about 2 way communication with the horse and person, unfortunately that concept is frequently lost on the majority and it gets turned into a way to chase horses into freeze mode or shutting down. How people incorrectly use a tool shouldn't be the reason others refuse to use it. But I suppose, everyone wants to generate their own method to ™️
Unfortunately not a whole lot to pick from that is not copyrighted. I appreciate the artist creating free music regardless. It's better than wind noise sometimes! 😂
It's actually held up very well! We had a few screws break recently when the mares were kicking each other through the fence, and once Chance put his head through the gate and lifted it off the hinges, but none of the horses were able to roll under or get over.
It's a freeze brand. They hold a very cold iron brand against the hair and it causes the hair to grow back white. It's no more traumatic for them than getting their vaccines.
If you are looking to get them ungentled, you will need a small corral with 6 ft tall sturdy fences and a trailer that meets BLM requirements to transport a wild horse. There is more information on their website. You can either find a satellite adoption event, visit a holding facility or storefront, or adopt thru the internet auction here: wildhorsesonline.blm.gov/animals. If you want to adopt one already gentled, halterable, leading, and picking up feet, contact your local TIP trainers to see what horses they have available. mustangheritagefoundation.org/adopt/ There are saddle-trained horses available through the Extreme Mustang Makeover and the prison training program. What are you looking for and where are you going to be located?
Also that fence looks sketch. Wouldn't have unloaded him tbh with it being so dark and a sketchy fence. I'd be worried he'd get spooked since he's in a new place at night and run through it or over or under
The fence is 6ft tall, so nobody has ever even tried to jump it. Horses can not crawl. He was 13.3hh, 4.5ft tall, when we brought him home and the lowest rail is 3ft off the ground. Rails are 4" thick and are secured with 6" long heavy duty screws to the inside of the posts so that a horse on the inside can not bust them off. The posts are dug 2ft down into sand and give when they are hit. You want flexible, not solid to avoid injury or escape. The fence was build specifically to hold a spooked mustang and has done so well for 4 of them. After unloading him, we walked away and left him alone for 12 hours to allow him to get adjusted to being here.
@@skuroo we did have one recently that dove under fences in the beginning. If he saw even a few inch gap, he would stick his head under and bust thru all the rails to get to the other horses. 🤦♀️ If they want out, they're getting out unfortunately.
Break Habits Not Horses I’ve never adopted one before and I really considering it but I could never figure out how to do it no that’s all I was wantin thank you🙂
Here is the artist: th-cam.com/channels/RAaeHCLbUmltner4oShkTA.html. You should go tell him how much you hate his music that he is so kind to make available to TH-camrs so people in the comments don't have a conniption over wind or background noise.
Yes, I agree. At a minimum a Mustang should be a 3rd horse you get after a few years around horses. Long story, my first horse, 18, had a heart attack (genetics) at 92 days. My 2nd horse was an abused 6 years old mare……..apparently pregnant and good at hiding it till we went to a horse show. Yea. That baby was a kicker. Liked to aim for the groin. As a female I know man pain now😅. At least Peaches was nice. No aggression after she foaled…….except the dog got a good “flying lesson”. Dog ok. More of a hard push 6 feet into the air when excited boxer ran up suddenly to see the baby. Mama was 16.2 hands, almost 1500lbs. Tricked two vets and 2 trainers. Learned she was pregnant halter showing her at the fair!😂 That explained so much…………… So yes. Glad I did not get a Mustang as a first, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th horse. You need to learn from domestic horses first.
Feral horses are an invasive species and descended from abandoned ranch, mining, and remount horses. There is not enough forage or water sources on public lands to sustain both native wildlife and the horses, so roundups are necessary to protect the land and the animals. Most horses at this particular adoption were from an emergency roundup due to starvation/dehydration and poor health.
The ranchers all want to hog the land for their cattle. They always say the same thing, you can't eat a horse. The wild Mustangs need to be left alone. They have a right to be respected as well.
@@alanunderwoodsr8622 The ranchers only graze their cattle during the warmer months and only if forage is available. The horses are out there year long and rip the forage out by the root so that it does not grow back in the spring. If you need proof of this, look at what the horses have done to my pasture in recent videos. I allowed them full access during the winter and now we have nothing but sand and cacti.
Love them all !!
This horse is on HIGH alert. You can read their mind by their physical watchfulness. You just know theyre completely scared and in survival mindset
Thanks

Wow I’d be terrified of a horse getting out of that, especially a wild one. Good luck LOL
I dreamed of a horse like that
And getting seriously injured on the way out.

Such grest horses now again if anyone gets one you are a star
So cool my horse is part mustang she is in my last video great job
He is so gorgeous and a very handsome ..
Thank you! I think so too! ❤🐎
He looked so scared and lonely by himself in that trailer alone.

No, it doesn't.
How is that fencing holding up? I'd be worried about him slipping under it or something
It's actually held up very well! We had a few screws break recently when the mares were kicking each other through the fence, and once Chance put his head through the gate and lifted it off the hinges, but none of the horses were able to roll under or get over.
They are probably so scared at this stage!
I wonder if this horse was sold?
Nope. I'm watching him from my house right now. He's eating hay with a fly mask on, looking like a big orange dork.
Awesome 💯 @@BreakHabitsNotHorses
How do they get the neck tattoo? Was it a shocking experience for them?
It's a freeze brand. They hold a very cold iron brand against the hair and it causes the hair to grow back white. It's no more traumatic for them than getting their vaccines.

Did you have to go to the blm actions or did y’all just straight up buy him
We adopted him through the BLM Adoption Incentive Program.
If you adopt another one can you do a step by step on how to do it?
I can make a video about the adoption process! Is there anything else you would like to know?
