Extreme Mustang Makeover 2022- Newt's Journey (100 Day Training Challenge)

- Newt is a 3-year-old mustang gelding from Diamond Nevada. He was my randomly assigned draw for the 2022 Extreme Mustang Makeover in Fort Worth Texas.
We picked up in May and had approximately 120 days to tame, train, and compete with our mustangs September 8-10. Trainers and mustangs spend the time preparing for a handling & conditioning class, trail class, and maneuvers class. Top 10 competes Saturday night and a competitive bid and auction follows the makeover.
110 trainers picked up initially for this competition, 55 made it to the event.
Newt and I made the Top 10 landing 6th overall in the Prelim classes. We had steady compulsory and freestyle classes which gave us a great placing overall of 3rd. He is going to a really good home in California.

Thank you Newt for being my favorite mustang that I've had the pleasure to train. I hope our paths will cross again at some point.
I'm not crying, you're crying. My gosh, what a beautiful tribute to a very cool little horse. He's such a sweetie. His snorts always made me smile. Every horse that is lucky enough to be assigned or picked by you, Sam, is one lucky horse....and the new owners are even luckier to have a horse so wonderfully trained. Your love of working with these Mustangs just shines thru and thru. Congratulations on Newt's third place! Hope we get to see some sneak peaks as Newt continues to mature.
Beautifully done....and put together so quickly after the journey ended for your fans to enjoy. Thank you for letting us all share in this extraordinary journey with you and Newt!
Words cannot explain how excited I was for you when you guys placed third at the makeover. He is such a sweet boy and I’m so happy your friend in California ended up with him!
You showed amazing that weekend!
Den Prozess finde ich zu schnell für das Pferd
@@SamVanFleet thank you! I tried my best! I learned a lot from everyone there!
There is nothing plain about that horse, bay is a beautiful color....nice black mane, tail and legs...and he has a whole lot of try in him for such a young horse. I hope somebody that keeps working with him got him as he'll make a great horse for a long time.
Nice job and thanks for the video
The lady that purchased Newt is really privileged to own him. I hope he'll be happy in his new home. He's gorgeous.
Sometimes the horses we don't want are the horses we need in our life. I must say that this horse was chosen for you because he needed someone like you to show him love and you needed him to leave a lasting impression on you. What a beautiful story!
I’m so stoked I get to see newt everyday! He was awesome and my favorite when he was at sherrys. Such a joy to ride when you let me ride him when you where out of town. Love ya sam!
Thanks for being part of his journey!!!
OMG Newt is one of my new favorite mustangs you have trained! He has come a very long way and it's incredible seeing what you did with him! He looks so happy and like he was just living his best life with you!
Love this little brown horse, to cute for words. Big things come in sometimes very small packages and I see great things coming from this little guy. Wonderful job Sam!
Awwwwww I'm crying... you two were amazing! Congrats on being 3rd! So glad he got a great home... looks like his new mom loves him almost as much as you do!
I cried at this, it must have been so hard letting him go, but his new owner looks like she will love him and take great care of him ❤️
What a fabulous video! Newt has no idea how many people just adore him ❤️❤️
You are so talented and Newt a special guy. Y’all did so well and I am happy he got an awesome home!
These horses thrive with you, Sam. You can see it in his soft eyes. What a beautiful journey you two had, thanks for making this video!
I love how you take in horse knowing you can’t keep them
Tears in my eyes, what a beautiful journey you went on with this little wonder! I’m so happy to see the huge grin on Mary’s face- he’s going to be cherished , just as he deserves.
Sending you a hug from Tucson- looking forward to seeing your MM horse!
Omg I can not stop crying I love you guys together I don't know how you do it Sam you are truly amazing at what you do and I admire your strength that you have to let you yourself fall in love with these Mustangs knowing your journey together will be short but your bond will be forever... Well done with all you guys achieved together, Newt definitely became one of my very favourites very quickly ❤️❤️ and I'm still bloody bawling my eyes out 😭 lol
Thanks Mary! Sam trains a great horse! You got a good one we all watched go through an amazing makeover!
Thank you for reminding me that horses can start out very reactive and still be a super solid citizen with some time. I just got an overgrown (16+hh) 2 year old and whenever she is reactive, I worry I made a mistake. Hope she turns out to be like Newt!
Try not to worry! Horses pick up on the slightest stress that you're feeling and it has a negative affect on them. Conversely, they can also sense your positive thoughts and happy emotions, so try to think happy thoughts and visualize them successfully obeying you, and how good you both will feel because of it. They pick up on any positive visualizations that you have in your mind and it helps them feel secure about trusting you and wanting to bond with you as their leader.
I was there and you did an amazing job with this gift of a horse. The ladies infront of me purchased your horse. They were so happy.
Thanks! They have wanted him for awhile lol
Sam, I love how you throw yourself out there and give 100%! Knowledge, patience and dedication always pay off for you. You are the best! Great video! You don't just educate about horsemanship but about how to live your best life!
That was amazing. A gerat way to give a wild horse a chance at life. Thank you for taking us through thee journey, not just the final competition
I really enjoyed the whole video...thanks for taking the time to put it together, and congrats to the both of you...glad he found a wonderful next home
Sam, thank you for giving Newt a better life. You make the world a happier place❣️
You just did it! Such calmness and sureness, pleasant and solid! Love your dedication to the process and friendship to Newt! Be abundantly blessed!
Good things often come in small, plain packages. You and Newt were a match made in heaven...both of you are better from the experience. You are a super talented and wise trainer. Great job.
ok. I legit just cried like 4 times. Sam, you are wonderful and thank you so much for sharing 🥰
Well that made me cry. It was so beautiful and you both deserved each other after the last few mustang makeover twists and turns.
He looks so happy with his new owners.
I love the videos that you post at the end. They are the sweetest.
An amazing little mustang. So versatile and willing. Surprisingly my favorite mustang yet. Great job. You brought out the best in each other.
Absolutely Beautiful! What a ride and what an amazing boy. Thank you so much for taking us all on your journey together! You are always such an inspiration to me and so many others.
You did amazing with him, I’m blown away! And his new owners seem very nice! I’m sure they’ll love him to bits
Oh my word that horse has a powerful hind end. Beautiful journey
I always cry like a baby at these stories. You do wonderful work with these beautiful horses. 🐎
Congratulations!!
Thank you for sharing your journey with Newt!
Great job as always Sam! Watching your videos is why I am selling my house, buying a motor home and am going to travel throughout the various BLM HMA's watching and discovering more joys of the American Wild Mustangs and Burros
W🤯W!!! ABSOLUTELY mind blowing!! What a connection you have to horses! And, what an AMAZING journey of trust, hope, patience, and immense love! SO incredibly beautiful and heartwarming! Thank you for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Tears big feels so raw and honest!!
Thank you so much! This guy was one fast learner. So impressive what you did with him in such a short time.
I am crying, such Love expressed through patience and wisdom.
You remind me of Alexander the great and Bucephalus.
Your an inspiration, and beautiful inside and out.
Congratulations to the both of you! 💖🐴🤗💖
Congrats on 3rd place! Newt has been my favorite to watch you train💜
I am a grumpy old man....I couldn't watch this video without crying, and I know nothing about horses! I don't know where you horse people find this time and energy for a project like this. God bless you.
Newt the superhero!
❤ absolutely amazing!
I’m sure that you are - but you should be SO proud 🥲
So much respect and admiration for this
Tears of 40 years old man dropping...
You are absolutely amazing!
Love, love, love it! Sam doesn’t seem to matter what kind of mustang you get you just make the best of them. 24 hours a day. you and your little teammates. I’m sure makes everyone’s heart feel warm and fuzzy. Thank you Sam. Looking forward to the next one.🍎🇨🇦🍎🇨🇦🍎
It was so amazing to watch you compete in person, you’re such an inspiration to me!
I have no clue about these horses, but you just know Sam can really handle herself with them. I find it so relaxing to watch her videos and see these wild horses become a real friend.
The love ❤️ shines through. Beautiful, touching, heartfelt. Congratulations! 🐎❤️❤️❤️
His physical transformation is the most amazing yet! You did an amazing job Sam!! TY for sharing his journey he's a very lucky boy!!
Most people could not accomplish in a lifetime what you did in 100 days. I bet tge hardest part tho, was coming home without him. Congratulatuons on a job well done!
Wonderful horse. Well done. We love you on our farm!
Awe what a great job you did with him! Thanks for sharing the journey with us!
Very sweet! Looks like he got a great home. Though sure didn't look easy to say good-bye:) Special guy :)
Absolutely loved his interaction with you on the bike!!🤣❤️
Another amazing job with another amazing mustang ❤️
Awesome job!
Sam this made me cry. Thank you for being so beautiufully you.
love your approach! it hurts my heart that these horses are being rounded up, terrified and so many suffer a horror movie fate. it helps to know that kind people are on the receiving end of some these precious lives. well done.he looks really happy! xox
That is actually a life goal for me to own a young horse and train it myself. Your videos are so inspiring and I hope I’d be able to learn everything and accomplish this too! Thank you for your amazing videos and motivation!
So talented!
Sam, you're one of my favorite trainers for Mustangs and training videos. That really was a beautiful video❤ I appreciate your hard work and massive energy you put into all these project horses. Thanks you Sam, you're a special kind of Cowgirl👍 You did a great job with this horse! ✌
Such a wonderful journey to watch.
Watching these horses and people bond is amazing!
Such a beautifully made video!
This little mustange is quite lovely. Solid &a nice shape .
And a good eye! He will be someone's bomb proof horse. Worth his weight in gold.
And that adorable short tail!
Congratulations to you both.
It's incredible to watch you turn these wild horses into beautiful show pieces, Sam.
Tears❤️
Newt is so special and I hope he's as happy in his new home as he was with you 💖
Watching again for about the hundredth time. 100 times of crying. He is such a special horse and you are an amazing trainer Sam!!! Can't wait to hopefully see some future mustangs! (Hint, hint! 🤣)
I love him ! ❤️
You and Newt did AMAZING this weekend! It was so fun to watch you compete and cheer you on!
Awesomeness
Sam, you are such an inspiration 🙏🏼
It's amazing what you can do, in just 120 days 🤩
Love your videos 🦄
Marvelous! And his new person looks so thrilled. The smile on her face is wonderful!
Truely amazing ❤ you got me, i’m in tears again. Mary looks so happy!🥰 Thank you for sharing.
Not going to lie, that last part I cried. It's incredible what you are able to accomplish in such a short time. I don't know how you say good bye, but I guess you can't keep all the horses. 🧡
Congrats on your 3rd place win, Sam!! ♥️
Thank you!
Stunning !!!
Brought back memories of rescuing Auction horses, re-schooling all but 2 tough bronc type geldings... Then 1/2 leasing them to chilren/families who were considering horse ownership.
Very fulfilling to save a horse that is destined to a horrible fate 💖💖💖
WISHING YOU AND NEWT ALL THE BEST IN THE FUTURE
What a beautiful video! 😢❤ hard work and consistency and patience goes a long way with these beautiful creatures! This video made me want to cry reminds me of getting my childhood horse back and she was abused & used as a brood mare & I found her and got her back and I was definitely starting from scratch and it was such a beautiful experience first time saddling, mounting, and our first big trail ride! ❤
Horses are amazing creatures! 🐴💖
you are so awesome, your videos make my heart smile.
It was a pleasure to see this live! Great job! So inspiring to others to try and do difficult things.
It's so sad seeing Newt go. But I'm glad he's in a good home. Well done Sam. You always do an amazing job!
Well I’m crying right now… bittersweet endings… incredible beginnings for BOTH of you. You saved Newts life… he is an incredible little horse. Just beautiful 🙏⭐♥♥♥♥
Very touching 😭 ...what a beautiful journey and amazing Horse (and trainer!) 💕
It’s such an art to see her with totally wild horse to phenomenal!!!! Well done ( again) Sam !!! Such a treat to see this every time!! ❤️🐴❤️
4:20 When first got my Icelandic & having to treat his sore ears, he would do that same behavior. Turn & bolt & pull. Unlike you, I was unable to hold the rope or handle that situation. Got a rope burn & pulled over. Every time he would yank out of my hands & get away, even with wearing gloves. He'd take off to the safety of my other horse, as they were buddies & other horse was his safe place. I'm impressed with your rope skills & strength / patience & athletic abilities. -- In my case, no rush required & being older (not aso strong / athletic) ended up switching to liberty with positive reinforcement clicker training & letting him choose to stay. A really great ear cream (Dermafas) also helped soothe the sore ears. -- Very strong back end on that young gelding. You are so talented!
I'll never understand how you can get so attached to them and then let them go.
I do hope Newt's new owners appreciate what and awesome Mustang he is ..
Sam you are a bit guilty of making this look too easy Just sayin.
Believe me, I would have kept this one if I had my own place
@@SamVanFleet I want to join your plz 🌹🥀🌻🌺🌼 I'm excited for join you plz 🌹🥀🌻 can you join me plz 🌹🥀🌻🌺🌼🌹🥀🌻 your WhatsApp plz 🌹🥀🌻🌺
It fills my heart with happiness and a bit of envy to watch your videos and the horses who've been lucky enough to pass through your good hands. Thanks for providing a way for those of us who no longer have our beloved steeds to reminisce and ride along with you in this part of your life's journey you generously share. Beautifully done.
You have done a really good job
I was there! I loved y’all’s performance! ❤️❤️
Fabulous achievement! Thank you for sharing your equestrian journey.
Gosh that was so sweet. I've got tears welling up. You are such a talented woman to take, care for, love and transform these mustangs into confident, sweet animals! Go NEWT! and Congrats Sam.
Wow....not sure how you give up such an animal. Many Kudos....that horse is going to make a lot of people happy.
All the feels, what an incredible horse and amazing person, the connection is spectacular
Newt is so cute and I love the name so much! Great job your really inspire me and I want to train a mustang someday like you do

What a wonderful process you took this beautiful kindhearted Mustang through! Congratulations to both of you!!! I really enjoyed your video and the way you put it together. Great job on training your mustang and on editing your video. Loved the music too!!!❤
Great video Sam….I have no idea how you were able to let newt go. I know I wouldn’t of been able to give him up. Mustangs like that only come once in a life time. You were lucky, you had it happen twice with Lynx and Newt…Congratulations❤️🍀🇺🇸… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
