Player's Choice Mustang Selection 2020 (Extreme Mustang Makeover)

- This is a little bit of a different video... a couple weeks ago I was accepted for the 2020 Player’s Choice! This is like the Extreme Mustang Makeover except I get to choose my mustang... kind of. On August 3rd I’ll be bidding on one of these 193 mustangs. On Instagram quite a few people asked me how I was going to choose which mustang(s) bid on. Honestly, it’s hard to tell from such a short video but surprisingly I was able to narrow it down pretty fast. I wasn’t able to show all of them in this video otherwise it would of been a few hours long 🤣
I look at soundness, temperament, and movement as my most important categories. Then I start to consider HMA, height, and age. Then color, and finally gender.
I’m hoping to upload a lot for this makeover, this is just the first! Let me know your thoughts and what other kinds of videos you’d like to see.

That buckskin mare seemed so calm!!! I think that's the one.
I’ll be competing with you!! I’m so excited! I recently found your channel and I’m excited to follow your journey and meet you 😊 I’ll be filming mine as well.
Will you post on youtube? (I'd love to find out more about what happens to these horses.)
Awesome, good luck
I love the chestnut gelding 6 years old!! Id 23000
Right I LOVE HIM right up to the last one he was my favorite.
Some one buy him for me🤣
OMG! I got him! He so cute! 💗💕
@@anniegosh1719 oh my gosh really?! Is Izzy his name on your channel. I think you earned yourslelf a new sub lol😂
His name is Red aka Big Red Rodeo😂
You are an amazing person. I've binged watch most of your videos, and will continue watching all the rest of them. It's magical what you do with horses. I love your instruction, your clear and understandable for anyone learning how to handle and to teach horses. The respect you are given by each horse is just awesome. You have a gift, and it shows. I wish you all the best! You truly deserve it. Thank you so much for doing your part with saving and helping to protect a wonderful and amazing horse, the beautiful Mustang. I wish I could save, and protect everyone single one of them. They have so much character, emotion, tenderness, attitude and strength. I love the Mustangs. All the best, much love, Kik.
Wow! Great eye and education, Sam! Thank you so much for this! Brilliant!
Thank you!
I am totally facinated with your videos I have watched a bunch but trying to watch in order now so I can follow your progress with specific horse. Thanks jk
I loved the last one. Calm and curious demeanor.
Man I live these videos so much and your channel gives me so much inspiration and confidence. I hope you never stop training horses!
Thank you so much!
Love it! I would love to do this...probably never will..but I'll watch and SUPPORT your journey!!!
The grey horse is amazing......really good work .
Beautiful horses😍 thanks what you doing for the mustangs......
I am in love with the grey Beauty❤
When I not live in Germany ....my greatest Dream is seeing your live and alive 😙 Sam you are a Human Person by all what you doing.....love it really well💙
Fascinating to see and also to get your perspective on these various horses. You must be so excited!
I really like the 6 year old Chestnut gelding he's got a good temperament and a nice build from what I can see and if was able to buy em, I would use him as a trail and Western pleasure horse
Wish you could do a video on conformation specifically on the others like 1,13, 19, 49, 133, 167 (or others but I'm curious what you think of 19 and 49. Judging by what you said in the video, you wouldn't get them but I'm still just curious as to other thoughts you would have on them. Especially 49.)
The video would of been hours long if I did too many of them haha! I loved #1- actually was in my top 10. My friend Craig got that one! 49 was OK, didn't make my top 40 list though. Jason Lancaster got that one. I'd have to re-watch that one's video, but I have in my notes that he crashed into the panel so probably not. Only because there's 193 options and the few that jump into the panels, even though the chance is small, may of gotten an injury and that's not a risk I want to take when there's so many other options
@@SamVanFleet Thanks for letting me know who got 49. Do you know if there is a way we will be able to see the mustang makeover show at the end of the 90 days? Like will if be on online or are we out of luck if we can't get to Texas?
Thanks Sam- interesting video- I’ll be watching your progress with whoever you end up choosing (I agreed with most of your choices)
Omg!! They are all so pretty sam! I wish I could do what you do!
So interesting to hear the process you go through to pick a mustang. Thank You for posting it. Just watched your most recent Mustang Makeover. Love her. Something really special about her. Subscribed after seeing it.
Thank you for explaining what you are looking for. I am planning on adopting a mustang and this is helping me decide what I should be looking for and where! After looking at them all... I am tired! LOL but my fave is L16. I love her trot, the way she holds herself and you can tell she is thinking. She would be great at dressage. Then there is L101 with the heart on his butt, with a circle around his tail!
I can't wait to see what you do! Always educational and fascinating, you definitely have a gift. Was #2673 a Grey you looked at? Thanks for sharing the link.
Lot 13, she was OK. Didn't make my top 40
The buckskin mare is definitely my favorite!
I've sat at my desk at work and watched ALL 193 and made a list of ones i like....fun to see if our thoughts are similar!
I have been looking for a video just like this. Thank you! I watched over and over on that one that you said you thought may have a soundness issue...I could not see that. It would be cool to watch a video where you can lead us through some videos of horses with soundness issues that are apparent, and then bring us up (like training bad behaving mustangs) to where we can spot it. I know a lot of that is experience, but I think you could really help us out here
One video and I’m already loving your vids!😁
Thank you so much for describing what you see, there is so much I do not see . .. and want to learn . .
Gratefully V
Haha I'm looking at my mustang rn and the chestnut 6y gelding I rlly want him he is a bit large for my liking tho
Edit: OMG! Sam Vanfleet loved my comment! Tysm 💕💗! I also have a TH-cam channel just click on my profile pic
Edit: Tysm for 20 likes can we get to 100?
omg i really liked this horse
Who else liked the video before the video started?! Love you Sam! This is so cool 🤩♥️
Btw I’m a small equine youtuber :)
What are your thoughts on the Goshute Nevada HMA mustangs? Thanks!!! Love this video!! So so so helpful!!
Hey there! I had one from there. I’d say for gentling level, pretty average. Once they are gentle, the one that I had was very athletic! In a good way 😆
@@SamVanFleet Ok that's awesome! Thank you so much Sam for getting back to me! Talk soon! Stay safe! And keep rocking!
thank you for making this video!! please make more..
Best wishes for the best match possible!!
Why do you catch the mustangs to begin with? Aren’t they wild horses, I kinda feel bad for them being all wild and stressed, I’m genuinely curious😅
Hej Ida! Känner som du! Som jag förstått det så drivs o samlas många tusen vilda mustanger in på uppdrag av USAs regering då man vill använda marken till att tjäna pengar på. Några mustanger köps privat för jättelite pengar o resten (avskyvärt) går helt enkelt till slakt. Det är så fruktansvärt sorgligt med dessa vackra vilda ponnyn. Det skär i hjärtat.
christine melin jag förstår, verkligen hemskt😢
there's too many wild ones and theyre considered 'pests' by a lot of farmers and ranchers. Its usually the govt that rounds them up and they get them to homes rather then being killed by locals who want them gone.
CanteringThroughLife I guess thats good at least that they don’t just kill all of them😕
Hi Ida. I just put whatever Christine said into google translate... totally incorrect information. They do NOT get sent in huge shipments to slaughter. That's so far from the truth. There isn't enough land and resources so they need to gather them every once in a while to keep the herd sizes within reason. From there, these horses go into holding facilities where they are really well taken care of and fed every single day. From there, they either are available for adoption, go to some program to help get them adopted, or go live in long term holding which is huge grass fields where they are still taken care of. As far as the gathers go, it's kind of like herding any other animal. They set up a big corral, and then slowly drive them into there, or, if they're all really suffering on the land, they put food and water in the corrals to have them come in because there isn't always enough food for them to scavenge which is another reason for some gatherings.
It’s so great your able to take a mustang and train them. This is something I’ve always wanted to do. Maybe one day keep up your great work
I LOVE the buckskin mare! So pretty and calm
I wish we had something like this in Australia 🙏🏼🥺
We do! We have a brumby challange at equitana however not everyone can do it you have to be selected. I'm pretty sure it's the same for these ones as well
Eventing Equii aW that sucks but thanks for letting me know :D
Lol was gonna go say “catch you a wild Brumby” but I guess someone beat me too it
Dragon Girl I know I’ve done brumbies before
Yeah We need something like this for our Brumby's.
I adore chestnuts. My gorgeous Thoroughbred is a chestnut mare. She's built like a Quarter horse and as a result never races. She's got an indapendent spirit, but if you build a bond with her and work as a team instead of just telling her what to do and expecting obedience. Working with her is a constant conversation and I actually love that. She might argue with me occasionally, but she's not nasty. It takes a lot for her to threaten in any serious way.
Speaking from years and years of absolutely zero experience, I like lot #181. I looked at a handful of others, but one eighty one stole my heart.
Connie Kempf I’m going to make a list of my top 10 soon 😁 I had my boss look at them too, and she’s been breeding warmbloods for 20 years now so she knows her stuff and what to look for as far as movement and build
@@SamVanFleet I look forward to seeing it! I envy you but yet I don't because that decision would be so hard! Sometimes for fun I go to the blm website and pretend I have to pick out a horse and I really don't have a clue! Except I'm proud of myself for seeing something off in the hind end of the one horse, BEFORE you mentioned it in your video 😁!! I hope it goes so very well for you!!
Lot 60 caught my eye as I was looking through the lots. She look like she could be a great horse
Very interesting ... I can’t wait to see which you choose . Btw, what program do you use to insert your phone screen and computer screen to your video?
I do all my editing with Adobe Premiere Pro!
Two of the mares look in gestation.
Aleysha Kluver my thoughts exactly that third one just looked it
None of them are. They were all gathered a year ago at minimum
Also a big belly doesn't mean anything. I work at a warmblood breeding facility and we have so many round ones that aren't pregnant LOL. You can't really tell if one is pregnant unless you see their bag/know their cycle
Big belly can be to food, and also prasites
Triple sex
I loved that bay gelding. He has a great conformation and is nicely stocky.
I like that little buckskin mare she has a nice trot and she seems so calm
5:13 oh.. my... god... that must have hurt!
I'm so excited to see u Sam and ur mare! I can't wait to meet those in the comments that r in this show!
I've trained a fair share of horses on my own before, a lot of them were flighty and completely untouchable but will now come trotting up to see you in the pasture, but most of them were quite domestic and level headed. I'd LOVE to work with a mustang, but I have never dealt with a horse who was truly wild before. I would never adopt one until I felt 110% confident in my abilities and I knew I was prepared to take on the training. What are your thoughts on this? What was it like training your first mustang?
Congratulations! That is sure a short list of contestants!
I looooove that red roan! To bad I can't rescue a mustang right now😂
My dream horse is a solid colored chestnut gelding.
hey...informative video. It's nice to get a second opinion when, if you are like me, not sure exactly what to look for when buying a horse
Am i wrong to say lot 100 looked a bit on the cubby side or is it a mustang thing?
I think they should give all the horses a good home
I'm not here to tell you what one to get but I personally liked the last one. She was lazy and calm
I’d do anything to be able to be able to do the mustang make over, I got my wildie (I’m in Canada so we don’t really call them mustang) but omg I love his build and his temper definitely some awesome horses
So since you have to bid and pay do you get to keep the horse after the competition or like keep any profit from the sale
I'm pretty much paying to train the horse. I'll never truly own her. But I keep about 1/2 of what she goes for in the auction, there is a small adoption fee that comes out though. So if she sells for 4200, I get 2000.
I loved lot 3, the big sorrel guy.
See you in Texas! I go every year!
Thank you for this useful post.
Would you explain why didn't you like the lot 81 (9585) mustang? Thank you!!
Do they do this in Illinois or Wisconsin ?
Lot #11 or #4885 is in my top 10 as well. Gah I love her.
That "red roan" definetely looks like a grey. Gray on red roan (and still I don't think it's it) maybe, but not just red roan.
have done Equintana a few times (Australian mustang makeover basically) and every year I do the semi-local makeovers. and I always hope to get a taller, fuller build. I don’t really have a preference for gender, but I never get one under 15 hands. (I’m quite tall, so this is just what is ideal for me.) I prefer 5 year olds, but I have taken a six year old who did very well. I never pick injured ones for obvious reasons, and for me I think is very important for me to get a horse who carries himself well, and thinks before he acts.
Thank you so much, you pointed out some things I don’t normally think about!
I took a look at the horses for no real reason, and #9572 from Green Mountain I really liked. I don’t know why, he has some flaws, it he seemed like the sort of horse you would want around. It’s too bad I live in Australia!
That was Lot #1 - funny! I liked him. He was in my top 10, and one of my friends actually got him! :)
O my goodness that’s great to hear!
I think lot 77 could be a good match and shes really pretty
At one point in the video you mentioned a mustang named Evee. Did you do the Extreme Mustang Makeover with her in June 2018?
Yes
That's so cool!
So I can tell you, the mustang's in wyoming are the most wild 😝😝
No. Those are typically some of the most mild ones. The more difficult ones are from Utah
love lot 11. #4885.
love eveything about her. she was my top pick
I didn't know you had to pay to train the mustang makeover horses
Video coming soon on this!
Oh yeah
❤❤
Pickup is on my birthdayyy
i put the list and I loved 41😍
I think in players choice, the cream of the herd is offered. The proceeds help fund other mustang programs?
Some of the mares look like they could be in foal, what happens if the one you get turns out to be pregnant?
None of the mares are in foal
7:50 is a Arabic mix horse that’s why is short and the way she walks!
Was that text to Camilles mustangs?
Just for FYI it doesn't read backwards
Lot #16
HMA: Little Owyhee, NV
Big boned bay mare who seems alert, but also a thinking type. Only downside is she is 7yrs.
ooo she's pretty! love her big floaty trot
She was a nice one! My only fear is that movement is all out of tension. She was in my top 20 but not my top 10.
@@SamVanFleet Good call! She went for 6k I believe. Ughhhhhh.
My brother just bought a mustang from that site, a big, Blood bay Gelding. 17 hands.
There were no bay 17hh mustangs in the Player's Choice auction.
Wyoming puts out some good stock.
Do u keep the horse after
I won't be keeping her after the makeover
First! Huh, never heard of bidding on your mustang😯.
It's for the Player's Choice format, a little different than an EMM!
New sub here :)
Lot 162
The mare at 7:50 looks late turm that’s one big belly
What does HMA stand for ?
Elizabeth Wall I think it is the place that the horses are living at
Herd Management Area (sorry thought I put that in the video!)
It’s where they were gathered from
Sam VanFleet oh okay thank you !! :)
The little bay mare at the start looked bred 😬
None of these horses are pregnant.
How do you get approved
Apply and meet the facility requirements
Do u live in a travel trailer?
Yes, I live in a camper
6:23
This video consisted of the best horses on the lot to some serious soundness issues :/
Oh my god you have an Alienware ? Why an Alienware ?
It's super fast!
100 looks pregnant
None of these mare are pregnant.
@@SamVanFleet lol then shes really stocky
@@SamVanFleet LOL, how many times do you have to tell people 🤣
Could no 100 be pregnant?
No, none are pregnant
"Red Roan" are people blind?
When they have a couple hundred or thousand horses to go through, sometimes colors get mixed up in the system. Mistakes happen
Love you and your talent but its Nev-ah-duh lol
I interchange how I say it 🤷
Hj
Will you please give a reply of my comment
No offense but I don’t understand why encouraging the deportation of mustangs. They are wild animals, used to larges places, not « domesticated » horses. They should be able to keep on running free. Also, the stress they must undergo is unimaginable, parked inside theses small areas, separated from their herd.
Maybe I’m wrong but unfortunately, a lot of the time, they are brutally captured (during the rounds up), some gets hurts, pushed through traps, foals get separated, sometimes one horse of the herd avoid the trap but stay wandering alone in the desert.
I really do hope the mustangs you are lookin at did not went through all of that. They are wild animals and we should think of them before we try to turn them into a good and nice horse we can ride on Sunday.
Anyway, good luck with your horse and take good care of it.
There's not enough land and resources for them. If there weren't gatherings, many would die from starvation. When they're in holding facilities, they're kept with many other horses. They're only separated for these minute long clips. They have the good life in holding- food 24/7 and fresh water, instead of starving to death in overpopulated herd management areas.
They actually are domestic horses
