We’re so proud of you Jake! Great choices you are making! Bella is with you in spirit and inspiration!! We look forward to seeing you when you’re home! ❤
Well done thou good and faithful servant. She's done everything you've asked of her and she's deserving of rest. She'll be waiting when you return. Godspeed
You are connected to your family and they love you for your compassion. Bella will be cheering you on from a more stationary place that's all and waitingto welcome all y'all back home. 😘
Bless You Jake? I can tell you’re a brother in Christ and He will reward you for the love and care you show your animals! I’m 83 and bought my first horse a year ago I love him dearly and share your heartache for Bella, My prayers are with you!
Hate to see Bella have to go home, But her well being is more important, Way to make the hard decision, Sometimes the best trainer is a good horse that teaches the other horses not to get excited, Pony monsters won't eat them. Can't wait for Bella to get back in shape to help finish this trip.
This is a real tear-jerker, but it shows that Jake cares more about the wellbeing of his horses than his accomplishing his dream at their expense. Best wishes for sweet Bella to recover and have many good years left!
Well.im a 59 yr old canadian horseman.who hasnt got to watch all your videos yet..but just wanted to say i agree 110%.the best way to make a great horse is to have a even better horse yo teach them..an i really feel your pain..when it comes time to admit it's time to retire and let a great horse retire..they always hold a spot it your heart for giving you there best..❤❤❤
Unlike that 2Raw2Ride guy, you care about your horses and made the hard decision that Bella needs to go home. Her coat looks like she may have Cushing’s-if so, she should be much happier with treatment. I hope you can have her tested for that if your vet thinks that’s an issue
Sad 😢 horses should be still living past 17 needs a vet check,we had horses that were past 20 and up, that were in great condition, , why is there no vet called?
@@heidinewcombe696 I see that she not, I'm just saying that she having problems and she is too young to be in this way, 😞, I hope he gets a vet that why I said that that she needing a vet check I wouldn't have said that if she was dead 😂,
Oh, Jake You can do it. Bella means beautiful. Beautiful horse, spirit, and Beautiful Truth and Change, Beautiful people, and Beautiful Rest. Jake, you have a Beautiful Heart full of Wisdom. The Eagle is a sign from God. He has a message for you. Listen carefully to conversations. Look carefully at what you are reading, and watch carefully at what you are seeing.
It's not sad , you gave her a chance for good health and life , otherwise she may have not done so well if not adopted , you did good by her and she did good by you, I see a win, win . Good on you for knowing when to call it.
I wish Bella ALL the REST AND RECOVERY ❤.. I can tell you love her so much this story made me cry thinking about the bond and love you and Bella share.
I’m glad you’re sending Bella home. Good call. Many years ago we had a long rider come through here. She left her horse, a Mustang named Little Boy, with us. She did the right thing for him too. He was way underweight and completely exhausted. She left him here and never came back for him or wanted him so here he stayed. We’re glad to have him too. He’s become a good friend who comes in out of his pasture to be with me every morning and evening while we do chores. We look forward to hearing about more of journeys. Again, thank you for being aware of Bella’s need to rest.
I am glad you sent Bella home. We must remember the mustang has never been selected as a beast of burden, in the wild they carry teir own weight only. Domesticated horses have hundreds of years of selection for traits of strength etc.
I have been there my friend, it's sad but life. My tears are for Bella and you every man needs a good woman a good horse and a good dog in his life, I have been so very lucky to have had that, might not have been at the same time but that's ok, good luck to you. Just a old man in Oklahoma wishes well to all.
You did the right thing by Bella Jake 👍. Thank you for taking good care of her. I'm glad she's going home to rest and put her weight back on. She's such a good girl, I love her 💕. Looking forward to next Monday video. Be safe. Glad you have so many good people helping out 😊
Thank you for your honesty! It was sad to see her deteriorate, but I'm sure you've made the right decision for her. It's so good to see someone acting responsible for the sake of ones horses.
Wonderful video Jake. It’s been an honor having Bella here at our farm and getting to love on her and take care of her for you. 1 more week and she’s headed home ❤️ safe travels my friend and prayers to you, Eddy and Denver.
THANK YOU Jessica for taking care of Bella…. She truly gave her all for this. She’s an amazing girl. To leave her behind with an amazing person like you shows how much you and Jake love her… safe travels back to Utah..
Jessica, you are a very kind and thoughtful person to do this Plus you get the bonus of spending time with Belle before she heads back home. That's pretty lucky. Jake must really trust you
Thanking God for your safe trip onward and Bella’s safe trip home. Thankful for all the good folks helping you, and the kind family trailering Bella back home. HIS guiding hand is evident. Thank you for willingly following. 🙏👏
I knew if it came to it that you would do the right thing for Bella. I'm sorry it worked out this way but also inspired and filled with admiration for you and the decisions you make. Happy trails and good health to all. May God continue to bless!
See how people come together thanks Jessica❤& all the folks who are helping you make a ggreat adventure youll remember always ahh the stories you will tell😎🤗
I'm so sorry, Jake. Bella's journey ended differently than yours and your other 2 Mustangs. She will be fine. I'm proud of you that you sent her home. They say that people are in your life for a reason, a season and for a lifetime. That goes for the animals in our life. Big Hugs for the continuation of your trip. God Bless You Jake. Everything will be fine.❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢
@@jakeharvath thanks for letting us know, she looks older than 17 years, were are you end up at? Just started watching you, just a little nosie because of what happen to the other guy 2 raw to ride, he didn't care about his horses 😢,but you seam different, , good luck,
I loved the bald eagle and snow goose footage! And as Bella hesitated getting into the trailer, tears welled up in my eyes because it seemed like she didn't want to leave. I hope she can get stronger and finish the final leg of the journey with you!
I can’t imagine how hard the decision to leave Bella behind was, but I’m so glad she will be getting a chance to recover ate and gain weight. I’m proud of you for putting your horses first.
So sorry to see Bella going back home. You are a true horseman sir. Knowing when to say it’s time doesn’t make matters better for you, but it will for her. She will get the rest she needs until she’s needed again. We’ve had to retire several over our lives and it don’t get any easier with the next horse. We were able to find them good homes to help train the next generation of horsemen and women starting out. She still has a lot of weekend trips in her. Now you have something extra special waiting for you at the end of your trip.
Jake, right before you said it, I thought that Bella’s job was to teach the rookies how to do their jobs and now her work is done. God loves your horses as much as you do and maybe He gave Bella what she needed just long enough to keep you safe and get you to where you are now. God bless and stay safe.
You had the good sense to realize that she not finish the trip. Some horses have higher metabolisms and take more calories than others. She obviously does. Good call.
Dude! By the way you put your title......I thought you had to say goodbye.......forever! Made me so sad. Glad to hear that she is just going back home for R&R. She is such a good horse. She deserves some extra treats!
I hope you had support going through Harrison. not being a horse person I reached out to our local saddle club and the local paper. Bella's a good horse, and earned a rest. God bless your journey
Glad you showed this, and Bella may be saving some other horses lives. Some time ago I saw an ad for two lovely horses. It said they had traveled across America. I called. A woman (at the barn) told me the story...2 men from Australia had seen a movie or something that made them want to ride horses across the US. They flew in, bought two horses, and rode 25 miles per day every day until they met their goals. The horses were in terrible shape. The woman told me they wore the hooves off. They were both lame. She thought they needed to be put down, yet here was this ad. I'll spare the details, but the story haunts me to this day. The guys basically dumped the horses and left to go back to their country. So glad you realized your horse wasn't able. Anyone thinking of doing this, please talk to some endurance riders to learn how to work up to this level of mileage. It takes months and months of training!
God Bless you Jake, Bella, Denver and Eddie!!! I cant imagine how hard that decision was but you are truly a loving professional and are looking out for all of the Horses well being! Well done, keep being safe and THANK YOU for taking us all on this amazing journey!!!
Sweet Bella!! She’ll be getting good rest and there for you and her friends when you return. Good call/. She’s definitely put in her time and done what you’ve asked of her. Hoping she’s all filled out good next time you see her.
Oh gosh I was afraid when I saw the headline. Bella going home is the right decision but I’m sure it was hard for you to leave without her. She’ll be waiting when you get back. ❤
I have watched your progress and wished you, and especially your horses, safe travels. As an 80: year old horseman still starting and riding young horses in remote country, my primary concern has been the welfare of your horses. You have done right by Bella. I can tell by your presentations that we would not be friends, but you have my respect for your concern for your horses. Storm Rough Country Horses High Lonesome, Arizona Territory
Bravo jack , je regarde votre voyage à travers les USA. Vous avez dû arrêter Bella . Elle est fatiguée.quelle âge a-t-elle ? Vous la mettez au repos .allez-vous la remplacer pour continuer votre voyage? Encore félicitations pour votre périple. Jacques
Good decision. She would go till she dropped if you didn't intervene. They have so much heart and dedication, the Mustang breed is the very best equine there is.
You are 100% correct about that. Even when Bella was struggling to keep up these past few weeks, she never complained or resisted. She just kept going. She did her job in showing the world how hardy and useful and hard-working mustangs are and I'm so grateful to her for showing the boys how it's done.
Don't worry.... Bella will be watching you all on TH-cam as she is putting her weight back on eatin' apples and hay and grain.... She had a great adventure... Now it's just the guys! You done good by that decision- shows your moral compass.
I cried. I am so sorry Bella does not get to finish the trip with you. I know this breaks your heart. Thank you for loving her so much and taking care of her. I know you will miss her. I will miss her. Please keep us updated on her. Praying for you and the horses.
Doing the right thing is never easy ❤ Your putting you mare health ahead of yourself is a gift in itself ... When I had to let go of my horses Salem and stormy it was the right choice but the most brutal pain I have ever felt and still struggle but deep down in my heart & soul I knew this was the right choice for them.❤ Bless you and your journey
That was a worrying few minutes, till you told us your decision... Well done, Bella did you proud, you have done horse lovers proud... Safe journey for you and for Bella back to your home. Your love for the horses shines thro to all.
you did right by her. It would have been hard for her in the summer heat too, like, to California, if and when you get that far. Thank you. You're just the BEST! :)
You made the absolute best decision. It is very obvious that you love her and that with loving her, sending her home is showing her that ❤️! Giving her grace and mercy.
I'm so pleased you put your horse first and recognised your horses have no idea of your ambition. They just live in the moment - I hope Bella regains body condition without problems and enjoys her well earned rest. I'm puzzled (I'm in the UK) why US horse trailers don't have ramps for ease of entering and leaving and partitions to keep the horse from being thrown around in a big trailer when on the move. I hope the rest of your journey is problem-free.
That was not a horse trailer but one for stock like cattle, etc. That said, the horses here are capable of stepping up and over obstacles all the time. Mustangs do that everyday in the wild and these stock trailers carry horses everyday on a working ranch.
@@kellypeterson5771 - Yes, I see that it is the usual way of doing things in the US but all large animals in the UK (if you include sheep and pigs as large as well!) are transported in trailers or lorries (translates as a truck) with ramps. These have non-slip surfaces and form the back or side door - once the animals are loaded, the ramp is raised to lock in place. Our horses can step and jump too! It was just that it has struck me that of the various TH-cam channels I have watched, I have never seen a ramp deployed for animals in the US.
I know what your trailers are like in UK where the ramps are part of the back door. What you don’t know about US trailers are the necessary ramps are usually a permanent structure on the farms and at corrals in the field. @@EX5DD
@@EX5DDwe have both types, some have ramps, some are step up. People have their preferences. I prefer a ramp. It’s good to train horses to load and unload on both types
All in this life all has a purpose Bella she did a great job same as you and the other horses . Keep positive Gad riding with you guys. See you in Jersey Pura vida amigo.
Such a sweet tribute to Bella! You made the right choice to let her rest. I hope she can join back up with you again, but if not, that’s ok. We love watching your journey and are cheering you on from your home town in Heber City!
I remember the very first day Sam and I met you in Heber. You took Sam under your wing and taught him the ins and outs of horsemanship and riding for a few years. We have been watching the progress of you, Bella, Denver, and Eddy. While it was sad - I even teared up - to see Bella go, know that when she returns to Heber, she will get the rest she deserves.
Jake, this had to be pretty tough but you know is the right thing to do. She has given you everything she's got and for her age it's amazing and it just shows the good quality of care you've given her. You made the right choice and you'll be thankful because there'll be a lot more journeys you'll be able to have with her by doing this. Please keep us posted as to how she's doing. You're an amazing man and very courageous to do this to show us the love you have for her and your other horses. Go mustangs. Stay safe. Jake, love the videos.. I thought it was pretty cool how she thought about it before she got in the trailer, but she knew it was the right thing to do too. Especially after you got in
We’re so proud of you Jake! Great choices you are making! Bella is with you in spirit and inspiration!! We look forward to seeing you when you’re home! ❤
Well done thou good and faithful servant. She's done everything you've asked of her and she's deserving of rest. She'll be waiting when you return. Godspeed
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. It means a lot!
1800 Miles for a 17 year old is amazing! You knew her limits and so happy that riders like you know what it takes. Safe travels. Rest well Bella❤
🙏🏻✌🏻
Blessings to Bella 😢❤ 💫
you are a good man taking care of your horses first ,I love that about you .kiss bella for me
JAKE YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.😢😢😢😢BLESS YOU AND YOUR MUSTANGS ON YOUR TRAVELS
Thankyou for your decision. She gave you her ALL to the point where it could have taken her life.
Rest Easy Girl. . . There’s more to come for you. 😊❤
You are connected to your family and they love you for your compassion. Bella will be cheering you on from a more stationary place that's all and waitingto welcome all y'all back home. 😘

That is a respectable and responsible choice. The love you have for your horses is amazing.

She's retiring. She'll be. waiting for your smiling face& her buddies trust in the lord as you do remember miracles never cease 🤠🇺🇸👊

I can't believe this horse is 17 😮, I just seen video s of this the horse look okay in the first video but drown hill everyday since 😢

Chin up brother! God has the plan and it's a mystery. That's the exciting part of life. One foot in front of the other. God bless
Thanks for knowing her limits. Does she have a companion once home? Hopefully she has a pasture mate waiting. She will not be happy alone!

I cried. I am so sorry Bella does not get to finish the trip with you. I know this breaks your heart. Thank you for loving her so much and taking care of her. I know you will miss her. I will miss her. Please keep us updated on her. Praying for you and the horses.
Thank you so much! I so appreciate your support and encouragement!
Your mustangs are just beautiful animals. They definitely love you! Be safe on your journey.
My prayers are with you, and the other horses. Prayers for Bella as she returns home for healing.❤❤❤✝️🙏❤️
Ciao Bella! Get some well deserved rest. Godspeed Jake, Eddy and Denver.
Jake - when you get free time (haha!) you need to watch the PBS Nature documentary "American Horses".
Doing the right thing is never easy ❤
Your putting you mare health ahead of yourself is a gift in itself ...
When I had to let go of my horses Salem and stormy it was the right choice but the most brutal pain I have ever felt and still struggle but deep down in my heart & soul I knew this was the right choice for them.❤
Bless you and your journey
That was a worrying few minutes, till you told us your decision... Well done, Bella did you proud, you have done horse lovers proud... Safe journey for you and for Bella back to your home. Your love for the horses shines thro to all.
you did right by her. It would have been hard for her in the summer heat too, like, to California, if and when you get that far. Thank you. You're just the BEST! :)
I cried when you came out of that trailer wiping your face and beard. I felt your sorrow at leaving her behind.....thanks for the update.
You made the absolute best decision. It is very obvious that you love her and that with loving her, sending her home is showing her that ❤️! Giving her grace and mercy.
I'm so pleased you put your horse first and recognised your horses have no idea of your ambition. They just live in the moment - I hope Bella regains body condition without problems and enjoys her well earned rest. I'm puzzled (I'm in the UK) why US horse trailers don't have ramps for ease of entering and leaving and partitions to keep the horse from being thrown around in a big trailer when on the move. I hope the rest of your journey is problem-free.
That was not a horse trailer but one for stock like cattle, etc. That said, the horses here are capable of stepping up and over obstacles all the time. Mustangs do that everyday in the wild and these stock trailers carry horses everyday on a working ranch.
@@kellypeterson5771 - Yes, I see that it is the usual way of doing things in the US but all large animals in the UK (if you include sheep and pigs as large as well!) are transported in trailers or lorries (translates as a truck) with ramps. These have non-slip surfaces and form the back or side door - once the animals are loaded, the ramp is raised to lock in place. Our horses can step and jump too! It was just that it has struck me that of the various TH-cam channels I have watched, I have never seen a ramp deployed for animals in the US.
I know what your trailers are like in UK where the ramps are part of the back door. What you don’t know about US trailers are the necessary ramps are usually a permanent structure on the farms and at corrals in the field. @@EX5DD
@@EX5DDwe have both types, some have ramps, some are step up. People have their preferences. I prefer a ramp. It’s good to train horses to load and unload on both types
All in this life all has a purpose Bella she did a great job same as you and the other horses .
Keep positive Gad riding with you guys.
See you in Jersey Pura vida amigo.
You made the right decision and we support you.
Such a sweet tribute to Bella! You made the right choice to let her rest. I hope she can join back up with you again, but if not, that’s ok. We love watching your journey and are cheering you on from your home town in Heber City!
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. It means a lot and makes a hard decision a little bit easier.
I remember the very first day Sam and I met you in Heber. You took Sam under your wing and taught him the ins and outs of horsemanship and riding for a few years. We have been watching the progress of you, Bella, Denver, and Eddy. While it was sad - I even teared up - to see Bella go, know that when she returns to Heber, she will get the rest she deserves.
Doing the right thing can be pretty tough sometimes but also very rewarding. You've got this. ❤
Thank you for your support and encouragement!
Praying for Bella and safe travels for you and your two horses
Jake, this had to be pretty tough but you know is the right thing to do. She has given you everything she's got and for her age it's amazing and it just shows the good quality of care you've given her. You made the right choice and you'll be thankful because there'll be a lot more journeys you'll be able to have with her by doing this. Please keep us posted as to how she's doing. You're an amazing man and very courageous to do this to show us the love you have for her and your other horses. Go mustangs. Stay safe. Jake, love the videos.. I thought it was pretty cool how she thought about it before she got in the trailer, but she knew it was the right thing to do too. Especially after you got in
A true horseman always thinks of his mounts first. Do you think you will get another mustang for the duration of the trip?
Good luck to Belle.
