6:34 That mare is gorgeous!! I adore her build and coloring (the tan areas on her underside are also SO beautiful!!) and especially her temperament! I cant BELIEVE she was a 3-strike! I really pray I get lucky enough to find such a perfect mare when I adopt this year!
@@BreakHabitsNotHorses I'm getting my house sold now and I'm going to buy a Class C motorhome and move out west and camp on BLM land near the mustangs permanently following the different herds around.
I’m really happy for you guys, it really shows good heart when you’re willing to take on a three-striker. I’m glad Chance has some herd buddies ❤️ How long ago did you adopt these guys?
A little over 3 months ago! Chance is very glad to have other horses around. I hated keeping him by himself. Both the black mare and my brown gelding are 3 strikes and both wonderful horses!
Can you please explain the whole buying mustang situation. I’m in Ireland so know nothing about the system. I presume they are wild, roaming in herds. Then what happens?? X
BLM rounds them up or captures them by food pens. Transports them to a holding facility where they become branded dewormed gelded and shots. Finally they put them up for adoptions and buyers bid or full out purchase.
Oh, I will have to do a video on this topic some day! There is so much to the mustang story! There are about 50,000 wild horses sitting in government holding facilities that were once running wild in the western united states. Many of the herds are overpopulated and/or running out of food and water, so the government tries to maintain the herds at numbers low enough to provide enough resources for the feral horses, native wildlife, and local livestock to share. My two geldings were both "emergency roundup", so close to starving, and were captured in a trap baited with water. Once they were brought in, they are given a little bit of time to gain weight and then they are transported to locations all over America for approved adopters to adopt for $25 wild (or $125 if someone has already worked to halter train them.) They check that you have the appropriate facility to house them and do wellness checks at 6 months and 1 year after adoption. Some horses are adopted through training programs for those that want to skip the gentling process (local trainers take in wild horses and gentle them, then place them in homes), and a few go through the Extreme Mustang Makeover, where trainers have 100 days to gentle and train them under saddle, then compete where the horses are auctioned off to new homes.
Oh my gosh!! I remember watching your video a while back!
Congratulations on your new family members.

She is definately an amazing horse! Thank you!
You’re mare is a thinker. I can see it in the way she carries herself.
She is for sure the brains of the operation!
Mustangs are so beautiful! They're so lucky to go to a good home!
I feel so lucky to have them!
😊
Love all 3...great choices
The wilderness breeds some great horses!

@@gkatcher that is amazing! What an experience.
i LOVE your channel name. It fits so well!
If I could, I would literally take them all. My mustang is a Nevada mustang.
It's a good thing they limit us to 4 a year! There were so many great horses!

I subbed because of your name
You're doing great work 😊
Watched your first video and now I'm here. You guys have come a long way and I am proud. Still have a lot to learn... but you're getting there
Thanks for sticking around! It's been quite a journey and we still have a ways to go. 🐎
I'm a little sad for the brown horse on the left 3:21 wich chose you, sad that it couldn't reach your heart.😥

Break Habits Not Horses Thankyou for your reply‼️‼️
@@BreakHabitsNotHorses awesome. I got part of my answer. The question I asked actually is on your other video .
Thanks
@@BreakHabitsNotHorses that explains it! sounds cool what if someone prefers a stallion?
This is exciting....please don’t keep us long before the next video‼️‼️
I try my best to upload 1-2 times a week, so another one is coming very soon! Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤
i want one can u send for me to india............
makes me sad though seeing those terrified horses plucked from the wild and put in that! id set it free again
Those are temporary pens. They were only in there overnight for the event. They have much more room at the holding facilities.
They are free again, starving to death, because of over population on desert lands, to make you happy.
There were three million horses in the wild so not over pop their land has been taken away for land grabs so they are being euthenized
