I love the format of this video. I love that it’s mostly uncut and we can hear you walk through what you’re doing and hear everyone’s reaction to the funny moments like when he layed down and rolled or was being really curious lol
That is going to be a very great horse, didn't take him long, curious got the best of him, lol great video, I think with a little time he would do eany thing you asked of him. Love from canada.
There are a few comments about why didn’t she do this or why didn’t she do that? If you think you have a better method than by all means use it. But she just took an unhandled horse and in less than forty minutes put a halter on it. At liberty. That’s impressive.
Buenas tardes Sam! Saludos desde Santa Cruz de Zulia, Venezuela. Muchísimas gracias por siempre tomarte el tiempo para explicar todo con detalle, cada cosa que haces por insignificante que parezca y por explicar el por qué de cada movimiento del caballo. Estoy empezando a amansar un semental por primera vez, ya había amansado unas yeguas y con el semental tengo un poco más de cuidado con sus reacciones porque es muy nervioso y reactivo.
Sam, you were great as usual!! I sent this to my aunt to watch and she mentioned the child in the background audio. It was distracting. I wanted to hear every word coming from You. Maybe you could be miked-up next time? Thanks for all I've learned from you.
What do you do with a mustang that almost immediately allows touch’s and wants to hook up with you? Do you just move through the steps quicker because the horse is willing to?
Hi no hate or anything but is there a reason you don't use the monty roberts join up method or do you just prefer this type of method. Love your content and can't wait for the next vid😊
That works better with horses that are already gentled. These horses only get handled to get vet care and having their feet trimmed. They are chased everywhere with flags and have a greater fear of people. They would look at being chased as a predator trying to hurt them and less than a leader establishing themselves as a leader. What she’s doing here is letting the horse know that she doesn’t know intend to eat him as predators don’t usually back away from their prey. Gradually building trust to where the horse wants to be close to the trainer because that’s a place where there is no pressure.
Also, I thought it was extremely rude of that mother to have that child there while your trying to work!! I can’t believe he’s letting you do all of that with all the distractions!! Especially the crying !! And that was incredibly professional of you !! I would have lost it !!
@@leanneadams2549 go ahead Chickadee, lol youre only ONE person, she can replace you in a heartbeat. the crying , hes probly more curious than freaked out. ( owners child) its good he is desensitize now than latér he will think its normal when eventually he meets the child.
It was a special needs child. I like working with horses without an audience yes but the format of this clinic is to educate. I’ll come off as a mean old witch if I ask everyone to hush 😆 they were there to learn and chat. The videoing was for me and just bonus that I got to do it
@@SamVanFleet As usual you still did a great job. I was just surprised at the amount of noise, but then I'm use to seeing you work alone in a round pen..
You have confused that poor horse I don't even know what you want lead him in circles you lunge so he knows what you want. He smart he was standing perfect. You never stop and say good boy put the rope down be his friend get an apple damI own two mustangs 😢😮😮😢
Wild mustangs are not running through APPLE ORCHARDS. Most wild mustangs won't eat an Apple, they DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS!! ...AND...she's not trying to be his FRIEND. She's trying to be his LEADER first...friend LATER.
You understand this horse has never seen handled? When she walked away she was rewarding the horse by removing the pressure. She got what she wanted, he learned that if he faced her and was near her the pressure would go away. Lunging a horse at this point is only chasing the horse and the horse already knows how to run from pressure what she is doing is teaching it to face the pressure and the pressure will go away. I’ve gentled two myself and I wish it was as easy as she makes it look. She just took an unhandled horse and put a halter on it (at liberty) in under 40 minutes. You can argue the method all you want, but you can’t argue the result.

That first gelding is so gorgeous 😍
Handsome boy!❤
He is such a gorgeous 2 yr. old!! Nice work Sam! ❤️
You're amazing Sam. The horses really connect with you, and give you their trust
He's really gorgeous and seems like he could come along quickly.
He is a gorgeous, gorgeous horse. Thank you for this video. I really enjoy watching.😊
As always, I learn so much watching your videos. Thanks Sam!
That's my barn! It was truly a dream to meet you!
🤔 Horse ladies, the modern day cat ladies.
Pretty horse, thanks for your videos. ⭐🐎❤️😍

This was incredible to watch!
That was fun ! Nice horse. Sam, again, you make this look easy. Even with all the distractions.
i love your training style and love watching your videos and im so happy to see your Maine sweatshirt:)! Please come do a clinic here again!

Great job. Agree about noise in the arena but you handled it well.
omg that horse is gorgous
We learned so much from you
Pretty horse❤.

The child is special needs and was there with her guardian. A mic would have still picked up noises 🙂
My mics are also broken at the moment
I wish I knew you were in newyork,and bring my kids too meet you 😊
She will be back at Hobby Horse Riding in Watertown NY in june

I wish I was there
What kind of handling ddid he have to be gelded? And how has that event affected him?
Sam I like it ❤😊
Nice work. I don't see the BLM branding on his neck. Looks part Percheron to me.
I don’t see Percheron in this horse
From thumbnail he looks Iberian
🙋 Promo SM

That was the owner of the mustang. The child is special needs.
@@SamVanFleet well excuse me for saying something!!! I’ll unsubscribe and you can have all the distractions for you and the horses that you want !

Wasn't it a bit louder / more distrations thany you like. Surprised you didn't at least ask the kids to quiet down..
It was a special needs child.

Reaching for the horse's face is a predatory move. Bad move on first contact. You need to work on your horse communication (your body language),
TOO MANY BIG MOUTHS AROUND . QUITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes.
You have confused that poor horse I don't even know what you want lead him in circles you lunge so he knows what you want. He smart he was standing perfect. You never stop and say good boy put the rope down be his friend get an apple damI own two mustangs 😢😮😮😢
