Curious about how and why I have mustangs? No, I didn’t catch them myself😂 Anyway, I originally wrote this response to someone calling me an (____) for going out of my way to get wild horses despite how easy it is to get a domesticated one. This is a common accusation I get, so thought it might be helpful to share more for those who are genuinely curious. It’s so disheartening how many people make snap judgments without bothering to learn more😞 Anyway, here’s a little backstory: The government manages the wild horse population and rounds up some of the mustangs to keep them at what they call the appropriate management level(AML). Whether you or I want them to, thousands of mustangs are rounded up every year. There are about 60,000 mustangs in short and long term holding right now. Some are made available to the public to adopt. Unfortunately, being untrained, feral horses, they are a high risk breed. Many end in the wrong hands, get dumped into auctions and yes, into the slaughter pipeline. Training doesn’t solve everything, but it does increase the chances of them having a safe life. But not everyone has the ability, time, or facility to gentle a mustang. I’m just one of many people who gentle mustangs before finding them good homes. I care deeply for the mustangs I am responsible and don’t let them go to just anyone who wants them. I loose money doing this because I am selective and prioritizing a quality, safe home over a quick rehome. Thanks for taking the time to read and understand ❤
I think what you do is wonderful! I'm a veterinary nurse, and I just want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you for everything that you do for these wild mustangs. Unfortunately, some people are ignorant, and rather than doing a little research and finding out the facts, they assume they know the facts and go spreading their vitriol and misinformation all over social media!! It's not hard to do a little homework, and maybe the "Professionally Offended" should take a moment to educate themselves before jumping to conclusions!! I think what you're doing is fantastic, and you should be commended for all the amazing work you do with these wild mustangs. Can't wait to see what you decide to name her! She's gorgeous! Bless her! I'm so pleased she's in such safe hands with you! I'm looking forward to seeing her flourish under your care! From one animal lover to another, I just want to say another big thank you! 🙏 Wishing you and Black Mare all the best! Much love, from Wales, UK 💜🐎💜
💯 so interested I just stumbled on your page I heard of wild mustangs but never knew the half of it, I love what you are doing! I can't wait to see what happens! Thank so much please educate us!
I’m a former equine nutritionist & from looking at her, I’d say she’s in FANTASTIC shape. What a topline. She’s an absolute GEM. Well done, you! I’ve subscribed & I’m looking forward to her growth & her new name.
Not a nutritionist but my thoughts as well. Tucked up belly looks dramatic but she has a really nice amount of weight over her ribs and hips. Either an easy keeper or she's had a good diet for a long time.
Bless your kind heart Britta💛 It's great that you are working so hard to give these poor babies a decent, caring home. I've been a Wild Mustang advocate for many years, and there couldn't be a sadder story than the plight of most of these horses. I don't know if you've researched where they are coming from, but it's truly tragic what the Feds have done, and are presently doing to decimate the herds, and the BLM is very corrupt. The government round ups by helicopter are very cruel, and separate the the family groups, often resulting in many casualties with foals being run to death, and terrific injuries among them all. The survivors are further traumatized being hauled all over the place, warehoused in dry cattle lots, and their spirits are broken. They ALL have severe PTSD and need so much TLC & understanding. They are not like domesticated horses at all, it's in the centuries of being wild & self reliant hardwired into the genes. I found it interesting that you got DNA reports...many of the core herds are descended from the Spanish horses from the Conquistadors hundreds of years ago. They have the genetics of the Lusitano & Andalusian breeds very often, depending on the areas they are coming from. These horses are still bred in Spain. Your Miss Sparrow has the distinctive Lusitano almond shaped eyes... check out the many TH-cam vids on them. The American Wild Horse Campaign is a good source to learn more about what really happens to our Wild Mustangs, should anyone want more info & resources, and especially check out the work of LAURA LEIGH at WILD HORSE EDUCATION (wild horseeducation.org)...her foundation is in Nevada, and it is a real eye opener! Thank you for being such a beautiful human being, Britta, and for saving lives that matter!
I also adopted a black mustang from the Gochute region of Nevada. She was super quick to tame. She looked a lot like yours! We named her Garnet, because we used to dig garnets in Nevada and they were black too. We had another horse named Jasper, so following the gem/rock theme.
she reminds me of my black mustang I adopted(shady). I'm new to horses, I'm 54 yr. old. I rode a horse once when I was around 28. so yeah, I was scared sh1t-less😬. I thought she was going to kill me. I'm not a trainer by no stretch of the imagination. I thought I may have bit off more than I can chew. oh and did I say I was scared sh1tless🤔.A year and a half later and I'm finally going to put a saddle on her. I have no regrets. she was gentled on her time. NO ropes, no abuse whatsoever. Just her time. she's so sweet and gentle now and I wouldn't change a thing.
Love her long face. She looks like the Morgan filly my grandfather had . She is absolutely beautiful and she has a beautiful build to her . She is going to be amazing when she fills out . Her muscle lines are really amazing. Can't wait to see her fill out and grow. She is majestic
She is so beautiful! If you haven't already got a name for her could you call her Raven, Starling or Corvus (raven in latin)? To keep the running theme of the bird names :) Edit: Dont wanna be one of those people but tysm for all the likes!!
@@TheProjectEquestrian for a name I think "Flicka" as in "Flicka, the brown mustang" a great movie about a dark brown/black mustang, hope you've seen it :)
I like "raven" as well as the birds but I think this "black mare" has something more majestic on her, more noble.... like a BLACK DIAMOND - including that she is yet uncut and a bit rough around her edges (because of the travel)... she has that sparkle in her eyes 😍🥰
Good for you, taking in these horses, gentling them, and putting them out there for adoption. There's a lot wrong with the world, it's always so heartening to see women doing whatever comes to hand to make it a bit better. Good job!
I live in Dayton, NV - just a little east of Carson City. When we first moved here nearly 12 years ago, we had wild horses nibbling away at our weed patch in our front yard but the weeds were finally overtaken by clover and the horses LOVED that!! The largest group we had a one time was 16 and they ranged in ages from brand new to teenagers to full grown. Unfortunately the herds in our area have been rounded up and no longer do we have wild horses nibbling away at our clover so we replaced it with rock. I was able to sit out on the front porch while the horses were eating away and they didn't mind me at all.
You wouldn't dare call her ,Sally" would you?She's smart,she wasn't wasting any energy,and has a very honest gaze.What your doing for the wild horse herds is highly commendable,salute young lady!
My best horse was a small tough bay Mustang gelding with a lovely roman nose, and one bad stifle joint. I got him when we were both 13 and he took me all over the hills in Woodside, Ca, and took really good care of me. They are the best, so smart! She's going to be a lot of fun and will be gorgeous! Good work! You are so lucky!
Have you thought about using the Shoshoni language to find a name for her? Kah'-mah or Kah'-mo means jack rabbit, Ai'wa means fawn. She's got a very cool vibe about her.
She is so beautiful!! I love mustangs, horses in general really, but still. I know she has a white sock, but I think you could always call her midnight, if you haven't named her yet, especially since I can see having a beautiful black coat. Once you get her cleaned up and healthy. 😍
Omg I'm so excited! This has made my day! Eek I'm very excited right now!! Edit: I have now watched the video and wow she is georgious, she seems pretty calm and seems to have a kind eye. I can't wait to see u start training with her and see her temperament.
Hi! I live in VT and absolutely love horses..I grew up with them. I am SO surprised you are just north of me!! I have a very long story to tell but I would run out of data, lol. I just started FOLLOWING you tonight, at work..Healthcare and I make jewelry. I'm so excited and over the moon that I can watch my favorite animal and I will be cheering you on..neighbor lol ♡
We just brought a horse up from southern California to our place in Wyoming- 900 miles. We took three days and were able to spend the two nights with folks we know with horses. That was stressful enough for the critter, and he wasn't a mustang.
Pretty girl. That's an awful long journey to take alone in a trailer. Check for ulcers too - lack of food, dehydration & stress can create ulcers. Glad she's finally home & senses safety. I like India, like 'India Ink' for a black/dark horse with the nickname of Indie. Good luck with her.
New England, I'm in CT! I've never actually seen a mustang at any of the barns I've been to out here, I didn't really think people outside the midwest/west bought them. Maybe you'll be a trend-setter and there will be tons of mustangs out here in a few years haha. Good luck with your girl, she's really beautiful I hope she adjusts well.
Hey Neighbor! haha I was actually really surprised how many people in New England have mustangs...ok, not a lot, but they are here! lol But yea my first time seeing a mustang was when I went to a mustang makeover a while back. I sure hope we do continue to get more! It would be nice if we had a closer location to pick up at!
I live in Carson City and have seen many of these wonderful Mustangs “in the wild”…they are so beautiful! I never tire of seeing them. Congratulations! Hope you two have a wonderful bond!😊
A little mustang filly from Nevada was one of my best horses. She was so smart and quick to pick up anything. I trained her for my daughter and that horse would do anything for her. Sadly she coliced and passed. She left a huge hole in our lives.
Wow what an interesting channel! I don't know much about horses but glad to have stumbled up your video. Love the thumbnail by the way, what a brilliant action shot! I could not go past it! Seems like a lucky mustang to have landed in your care :)
You don't know me, I'm an Equine Therapist with forty years experience in biomechanics. If you approach your new friend with the awareness that she has injured her right hind stifle, you will make better progress. It's why she prefers to go to the right, the 'knee' can be carried more when it's on the inside of the circle. Best wishes, ... you look like a great fit for her.
haha, it was tricky! I was able to add some panels this year to add a couple "wings" off my main round pen, plus added a small electric area for more advanced mustangs. But still, it was difficult at times😂
Thank you Britta for letting us meet your newest member to the family, she's a "black mare" beauty, (see what I done there)!😆 She is wonderful, enjoy my friend, please give her loving from me, thank you! ❤ 🐎 🤗 In fact, please give all your babes my love, Jaeger, Merlin, kitty, doggie, and please tell Tess hello, thank you so much! Have a wonderful day sweetheart! Your friend, Didi 👵 🖐 ❤🐕 🐾 ❤🐱 🐈 ❤🐎

When you do, would you please tell her hello for me, she is so very nice, thank you sweetheart! 🤗 How is " black mare" doing honey? Oh my she is definitely gorgeous! Hello Jaeger, hello Merlin, hello chickies, hello kitty and hello doggie! I'am so proud of you Britta! 😇
@@TheProjectEquestrian Oh no! I too will miss her, I have only seen Tess once, but, that was all I needed to know that she is super nice and super friendly! Oh sorry my friend, please tell her hello and goodbye for me, you know Britta, it never fails, when I meet someone that I really like, they always move away! So, honey, I'am telling you Britta, DON'T LEAVE!! 😅😂😆😉
I’d have let her lay up a couple days in the middle of that trip to rehydrate, eat, and get some rest and some exercise. A trip that long can produce shipping fever which can be lethal.

lovely girl! good for you, I hope it keeps going well for you and this lovely girl! You said you can tell she's already sweet, you sense a good about her! So maybe a name something like Aura or Caoimhe (Keeva) which means kind & sweet in Irish!
Thanks for explaining why you do what you do. I was a bit shocked in the first place to be honest and asked myself, why people put a wild horse under that much preasure. I mean, this poor horse must have been so afraid on her long way all alone. After thinking about it, for me it is still not the right thing to do. Saying „They do it anyway, wether I want it or not“ is allways a poor excuse. If one really wants to help, shouldn‘t we concentrate on the reproduction numbers? Like castrating some of the horses but let them be free rather than do this to them, separate them from their family and traumatize them?
First off, I want to say thank you so much for articulating your thoughts in a kind and thoughtful way. You have no idea how refreshing that is! ❤️☺️ I think improving the lives of mustangs is multidimensional and a team effort. Yes! I agree that looking into multiple solutions for managing the population is needed. I took a pretty in depth course on everything mustangs, from how they determine the appropriate management level, to how they determine how much the land can sustain (and is it consistent and accurate), round-up policies and procedures (and are they being followed?), contracts with external companies (such as the aircraft used), round up methods (helicopter/bait&trap), politics, contraceptives and the effect they have on the social life of horses. Anyway, it was very eye opening and I left with the "the more you know, the more you don't know" feeling. I do think it is far more complex than most people think. But there are definitely some changes that need to be made. I think change has to happen on multiple levels. More people need to be doing research on alternative solutions. It is very political, and the process of making changes is pretty tedious it seems! We need people understanding how that works so that efforts are effective. I don't believe that the lives of the horses already rounded up should be tossed away as a lost cause. It's a pretty sad life. I adopted a 2yo mustang who was born in holding as her mother was rounded up pregnant. She had no idea what grass was when I brought her home! That is incredibly sad to me. She also seemed pretty emotionally shut down, so it was neat seeing her come out of that. I guess what I"m saying is change has to be a team effort, with team players having different roles. What I'm doing is a practical way of helping mustangs that have already had their lives turned upside down- it is without doubt traumatic. (and just one small comment - she was shipped with others from the holding facility to east coast. Only for the last hour was she alone. But still, I still think it's traumatic and important to take that into account as I start caring for them, which is why i mentioned it). What I'm effecting the lives of individuals. What others are doing are helping from more a distance, trying to make changes for the mustangs still wild. I think both are needed.
@@TheProjectEquestrian Thank you so much for explaining the circumstances. Maybe you are right and it is a multidimensional problem that needs multiple solutions. I hope you find a good home for her :-)
I Am A New Subscriber and I admire Your Passion I love horses of all kinds but especially mustangs so God bless you and your missions to come and I would love to get all updates God bless

Curious about how and why I have mustangs?
No, I didn’t catch them myself😂
Anyway, I originally wrote this response to someone calling me an (____) for going out of my way to get wild horses despite how easy it is to get a domesticated one. This is a common accusation I get, so thought it might be helpful to share more for those who are genuinely curious. It’s so disheartening how many people make snap judgments without bothering to learn more😞 Anyway, here’s a little backstory:
The government manages the wild horse population and rounds up some of the mustangs to keep them at what they call the appropriate management level(AML).
Whether you or I want them to, thousands of mustangs are rounded up every year. There are about 60,000 mustangs in short and long term holding right now. Some are made available to the public to adopt.
Unfortunately, being untrained, feral horses, they are a high risk breed. Many end in the wrong hands, get dumped into auctions and yes, into the slaughter pipeline.
Training doesn’t solve everything, but it does increase the chances of them having a safe life. But not everyone has the ability, time, or facility to gentle a mustang.
I’m just one of many people who gentle mustangs before finding them good homes. I care deeply for the mustangs I am responsible and don’t let them go to just anyone who wants them.

It's great that you are working so hard to give these poor babies a decent, caring home. I've been a Wild Mustang advocate for many years, and there couldn't be a sadder story than the plight of most of these horses. I don't know if you've researched where they are coming from, but it's truly tragic what the Feds have done, and are presently doing to decimate the herds, and the BLM is very corrupt.
The government round ups by helicopter are very cruel, and separate the the family groups, often resulting in many casualties with foals being run to death, and terrific injuries among them all.

It's why she prefers to go to the right, the 'knee' can be carried more when it's on the inside of the circle. Best wishes, ... you look like a great fit for her.
I'M IN LOVE!
She is so cute and i can't wait to watch you get to know her and work with her!
Thank you ☺❤
She is very pretty! Her coloring is going to be gorgeous 🥰 congratulations!!!
Thank you!❤☺
So excited for this series! 💓 I can’t believe you manage to hide these horses so well 😅 I don’t know how you do it 🤣
haha, it was tricky! I was able to add some panels this year to add a couple "wings" off my main round pen, plus added a small electric area for more advanced mustangs. But still, it was difficult at times😂
First video. Love what you are doing for these beautiful horses. 💜 New sub
Beautiful horse. She appears quite intelligent & alert. I bet she’ll take well to training.😂🤣
She’s lovely! I look forward to watching your journey. 😊
Thankyou! 😄
She is amazing! so happy for you both! if you don't already have a good name for her you could call her Athena, Artemis, Nova, or Pandora!
ohhh nice names!☺
Wow, I like Nova...
Thank you Britta for letting us meet your newest member to the family, she's a "black mare" beauty, (see what I done there)!😆
She is wonderful, enjoy my friend, please give her loving from me, thank you! ❤ 🐎 🤗
In fact, please give all your babes my love, Jaeger, Merlin, kitty, doggie, and please tell Tess hello, thank you so much!
Have a wonderful day sweetheart! Your friend, Didi 👵 🖐 ❤🐕 🐾 ❤🐱 🐈 ❤🐎
Thank you! haha and I liked what you did😂😂
@@TheProjectEquestrian Oh thank you my dear friend, I was hoping that you would! 🤗
Have you seen Tess lately? When you do, would you please tell her hello for me, she is so very nice, thank you sweetheart! 🤗
How is " black mare" doing honey? Oh my she is definitely gorgeous!
Hello Jaeger, hello Merlin, hello chickies, hello kitty and hello doggie!
I'am so proud of you Britta! 😇
I just saw Tess the other day...unfortunately she is moving out of state :( I will definitely miss her! :(
@@TheProjectEquestrian Oh no! I too will miss her, I have only seen Tess once, but, that was all I needed to know that she is super nice and super friendly! Oh sorry my friend, please tell her hello and goodbye for me, you know Britta, it never fails, when I meet someone that I really like, they always move away! So, honey, I'am telling you Britta, DON'T LEAVE!! 😅😂😆😉
@@TheProjectEquestrian Such a BUMMER Tess!! 😢😭😢
I’m thinking I really like the name venture for her ❤❤❤
I feel like she’s going to be one curious girly!!!
absolutely! Thank you!☺❤
Thanks I just see it in her 😂❤❤❤
She is so PRETTY! name suggestions Breely, diamond, ariel
😍SO PRETTY!
Wow! Big change 4 her to travel that far! Slow n easy wins the race!
I’d have let her lay up a couple days in the middle of that trip to rehydrate, eat, and get some rest and some exercise. A trip that long can produce shipping fever which can be lethal.
I said Freda right away also !! I think she’s going to be calm and very easy train !! I may be wrong … but…
I'm glad you saw it too!😄 that was one of my first thoughts!
Shes a beauty! Not plain at all 🥰
She’s very unique. Congratulations. 🎈
My brother rescued a wild mustang. His name is Ceasar and he's my bestfriend on his ranch.
She is such a beautiful horse!!
She is gorgeous!
What a long trip. Glad she made it alright.
Me with my fav horse being Fri
I'ma stand over here
This was awsome! Thank you!
Are mustangs being captured as a form of culling? Since they don't have predators in the wild? She is beautiful. Good luck. ♥
Congratulations she is gorgeous

Edit: AHH IDK IF SHE USED MY IDEA BUT SHE NAMED HER RAVEN ❤❤
I had a mustang/Appy. She was a great horse…could do anything with. She lived to about 27. I hope some day I can get another one.
She is beautiful!
You have a cute dog too ! ❤️
Well ain’t she a black beauty! ❤ can’t wait to see the progress.
I have an 12 year old gelding from Goshute Nevada.
That’s awesome! What’s he like?
@@TheProjectEquestrian He loves to please, learn and is very patient yet very stubborn at time. All around I couldn't ask for a better mustang though(: I hope your mare is everything you want and more in a mustang 🐎
She looks like a crow, raven, lela:)
Willow, hope, kindle:) or simple, she's so so cute! 😀😊
thank you ☺❤
I am so sorry for her having lost her herd, family and Freedom. 😔
lovely girl! good for you, I hope it keeps going well for you and this lovely girl!
You said you can tell she's already sweet, you sense a good about her! So maybe a name something like Aura or Caoimhe (Keeva) which means kind & sweet in Irish!
You could name her Kolibri. Kolibri means hummingbird in swedish. She moves around as much as a hummingbird! ❤️
That i s a beautiful name! Thanks for the suggestion - i'll have to add that to my name list. I also have Swedish name! (Britta)
@@TheProjectEquestrian ❤️
Thanks for explaining why you do what you do. I was a bit shocked in the first place to be honest and asked myself, why people put a wild horse under that much preasure. I mean, this poor horse must have been so afraid on her long way all alone. After thinking about it, for me it is still not the right thing to do. Saying „They do it anyway, wether I want it or not“ is allways a poor excuse. If one really wants to help, shouldn‘t we concentrate on the reproduction numbers? Like castrating some of the horses but let them be free rather than do this to them, separate them from their family and traumatize them?
First off, I want to say thank you so much for articulating your thoughts in a kind and thoughtful way. You have no idea how refreshing that is! ❤️☺️
I think improving the lives of mustangs is multidimensional and a team effort. Yes! I agree that looking into multiple solutions for managing the population is needed. I took a pretty in depth course on everything mustangs, from how they determine the appropriate management level, to how they determine how much the land can sustain (and is it consistent and accurate), round-up policies and procedures (and are they being followed?), contracts with external companies (such as the aircraft used), round up methods (helicopter/bait&trap), politics, contraceptives and the effect they have on the social life of horses. Anyway, it was very eye opening and I left with the "the more you know, the more you don't know" feeling. I do think it is far more complex than most people think. But there are definitely some changes that need to be made.
I think change has to happen on multiple levels. More people need to be doing research on alternative solutions. It is very political, and the process of making changes is pretty tedious it seems! We need people understanding how that works so that efforts are effective.
I don't believe that the lives of the horses already rounded up should be tossed away as a lost cause. It's a pretty sad life. I adopted a 2yo mustang who was born in holding as her mother was rounded up pregnant. She had no idea what grass was when I brought her home! That is incredibly sad to me. She also seemed pretty emotionally shut down, so it was neat seeing her come out of that.
I guess what I"m saying is change has to be a team effort, with team players having different roles. What I'm doing is a practical way of helping mustangs that have already had their lives turned upside down- it is without doubt traumatic. (and just one small comment - she was shipped with others from the holding facility to east coast. Only for the last hour was she alone. But still, I still think it's traumatic and important to take that into account as I start caring for them, which is why i mentioned it). What I'm effecting the lives of individuals. What others are doing are helping from more a distance, trying to make changes for the mustangs still wild. I think both are needed.
Sorry, probably a lot of typos in there! My keyboard has some keys that are sticky!
@@TheProjectEquestrian Thank you so much for explaining the circumstances. Maybe you are right and it is a multidimensional problem that needs multiple solutions. I hope you find a good home for her :-)
Ooh she's gorgeous
I Am A New Subscriber and I admire Your Passion I love horses of all kinds but especially mustangs so God bless you and your missions to come and I would love to get all updates God bless
She is beautiful. Good luck 😌
Hello. Are they really wild caught? They where in nature before being auctioned?
No they were living in Beyoncé’s house.
She looks cute! Are you gonna keep her??
I’ve always love dark horses.. reminds me of the book black beauty. I think that’s the name of it
Mhm! I love it too!
No, I just gentle these mustangs. Someday, I'll hopefully get my own mustang!
One day!
Such a trooper she is❤ The first name that came to mind was “Kuroko” meaning black child, in Japanese 🌱
For those of us who have lived there, it'd be nice if you could give us a general idea of what part of VT you do your equestrian work. North of Burlington?
I have an 89 convertible fox body Mustang, she's got the power of 290 horses, also red.... She's sitting right on the other side of this door, in the garage
Congratulations
I want to do this!! But I live in an apartment. I don't even know how to ride a horse XD Oh well, maybe one day.
I want to do this too! I’m a city kid but I take monthly riding lessons
You could do the name bear or I think the name moon fits her ! She’s so darn cute❤
I actually feel sorry for this horse. She's used to being free & is probably terrified.
….impressive…very remarkable. Both of you are gorgeous.
