    Your thoughts on perseverance make this video a keeper. It will come in handy when the occasion arises that I may need a pep talk. Thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson on the handcarts. My 2 girls participated in a handcart walk when they were in young women's. There was complaining but overall, it was a good experience for them.

    I started this journey with you Jake at the same time I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer last year; I live in Wyoming (Sheridan) and have travelled many times along that stretch between Casper and Rawlings (H287) on my way back to CA. You’ve been an inspiration to me on my own journey and in that year I have regained my Christian faith which has been one of the blessings of having this disease. Thank you.

      Thank you so much for your long-time support, especially considering the battles you've been fighting. I hope watching our videos had been a bit of a diversion through this difficult year and I hope good health is on the horizon. You are the real inspiration and I pray that you find the strength to keep fighting. If I've learned anything this last year it's that perseverance isn't easy, but it's always worth it. God bless you!

    When you asked about a person I thought of as successful, it was my sons and my husband. Their stories are long, brave and sometimes frightening. All three of them have hit walls, gotten back up and kept pushing through. They are kind and honorable men. And they are my heroes for never giving up. Your talk about perseverance came from the epistle of Paul to the Romans, I think. Perseverance makes us stronger, builds character and keeps us focused. So thank you for being who you are and teaching us as you ride.

    • @jakeharvath
      @jakeharvath  24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You're welcome and thank you for your support and encouragement. It means a lot! It's beautiful that you thought of your husband and sons when you thought of people who are successful and don't give up but I'm sure if I asked any of them they would give the credit to you. You have given them the strength and encouragement to keep going as only a mother can. If they are kind and honorable it's because you taught them how to be and expected nothing less. My mom wouldn't take credit either, but she deserves it nonetheless. Be proud of them but also be proud of yourself. 😀

    This journey has almost come full circle Jake, I'm sad as I want it to keep going, I've been with you all the way, though I don't comment as much, but I'm, we're all with you in spirit, pushing you on, but I'm looking forward to your homecoming, I will cry, but joyful happy tears, the boys will, oh gosh, I'm tearing up now just thinking about them meeting up with your Bella, you meeting up with Bella!!! ❤ Safe stepping to the end.

And while Year of the Mustang journey will soon end (and yes, Bella will be joining us in a few days), the TH-cam channel will continue and I have lots of new adventures involving my mustangs planned for next year and beyond.

    We visited Wyoming this past summer and traveled the Oregon/Mormon trail. Our family has ancestors that were members of the Willie hand cart company. Visiting Martin's Cove and seeing their names on the handcart list was a very special experience for us. They became more than just a name in our family tree. So glad that these important historical places are being recognized and preserved for future generations. The beauty of Wyoming landscapes is breath taking. It has been wonderful following along with you and your beautiful horses on this amazing journey. I hope you have plans for more videos. I will miss the weekly updates.

    • @jakeharvath

Thanks for all your support and stay tuned! 😁

    Jake, although I love all your videos, this was one of my favorites with your message. For some reason it reminded me of your horse. I can't remember if it was Denver or Eddie who persevered when everybody else gave up on him and he's still going one foot in front of the other. You truly have proven the perseverance of a mustang yourself, the beauty, the landscape, and the love of very good friends. Thank you jake! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving

    • @jakeharvath
      @jakeharvath  19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It was Eddy who had a rod go through his back leg and the vet and other experts said he should be put down because he'd never be able to walk again. The lady at the rescue center who adopted him recognized his perseverance and she told him that if he would keep fighting, so would she. Now he's walked 6000 miles on that leg, and proved all the experts wrong. It seems impossible until it's done is as much about my mustangs as it is about me. I'm so proud of them and grateful to folks like you who have supported us all along the way.

    Your journey is such a joy for me. For 15 years I have been mostly in bed or resting on sofa due to several diseases. Won’t bore you with names and pain each causes. God has taken care of me. I wake each day to see what I’m capable of, then I start studying HIS WORD, watching sermons on utube. Then I get to enjoy several horse related sites. Those give me happiness. I haven’t ridden in 13 years. Your travels are something I would have enjoyed. Seeing GODS BEAUTIFUL WORLD. Thank you for sharing. Prayers for your safety and GODS GRACE AND MERCY 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

      @jakeharvath  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      A few times we've required vet care but it always ended up being something fairly mild and treatable. Luckily we've always been able to get into a vet right away and not lost more than a day or two once we got seen. I feel incredibly blessed that nothing serious happened and have to give a lot of credit to the hardiness of mustangs. They really are tough as nails!

      My horses are mustangs and wild horses have evolved to have the toughest feet of any breed so they normally don't get shoed. But I've kept them in shoes this whole trip because we walk on so much asphalt and other difficult surfaces that can be hard on their hooves. They're both on their 8😢h set if shoes and since I'm a farrier I've been able to do all their hoof care myself. Once they get home they'll go back to being shoeless.

I still don’t get it. I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make by going to every state on horseback. I don’t understand it. What are you learning from it? What are you trying to get out of it because it’s gotta be hard on you mentally, I think

    • @jakeharvath
      @jakeharvath  24 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      The mission of Year of the Mustang was to show the world the usefulness, toughness and willingness of mustangs. There are over 60,000 mustangs in government holding and my goal is to encourage people to consider adopting one by showing them just what a mustang can really do. When we reach home Denver and Eddy will have travelled 6000 miles over every imaginable terrain and climate, dealt with all kinds of obstacles and hazards and continued to move forward without complaint. They are the epitome of perseverance. And as for me, I've wanted to cross the country on horseback since I was a teenager. I dreamed about it and planned it for many years. I love riding, I love being outdoors, and I just wanted to see how far I could go and what I was really made of. I've learned more than I ever could have imagined possible, and proven to myself that I can do anything I set my mind to. I've seen this beautiful country while crossing 25 states and met so many kind and generous people who started out as strangers and became life-long friends. This journey has forever changed my relationship with God, with my horses and with myself and I will be forever grateful for every single mile.
