I love that you always end on a good note and that you are working in slow increments. (I kind of cringe at the dragging line though.) He seems like a very smart, sensible horse. I hope he found a loving home.
excellent video! thank you very much for sharing your knowledge...there is a valuable lesson on the way that the horse feels, and thinks... very useful information! those lessons where really nice ones!
Go slower; get there faster….this is lovely! Beautiful energy and communication already!! Very nicely done. Your voice is so soothing and trusting, I’d turn and follow you!!!
I come from Pendleton, Oregon where we have five days of pioneer parades and rodeo. All my childhood I wanted one of those gorgeous horses (all horses were gorgeous) and kept telling my parents we had enough room in the back yard for one. Then we went to central Oregon and saw the wild mustangs run free on film, then some brought in to be sold to those who want a horse (not dog food). I nearly went crazy. The back yard was still not big enough. A week of work on a family friend’s farm with horses, proved that I loved watching and loving horses, but the back yard and I weren’t going to work.
@@SteveDyer I've riden over the years but have yet to own one. That is my ' lifetime ' dream... I have to buy land first.... Will buy 2, no way would I have 1 only.....
Thank you for your time and your skills that you shared with us .... I am overseas.... I would like to have Mustang or any other horse.... I wish I can contact you... So I can learn more about horses...
We visited a rescue and a untouched mustang liked taking treats from my 4 year old and myself first time meeting her. Where should or could we go from there? She comes over to see us and lets us pet her neck.
Thank you for your kind comments. You are not allowed to capture wild horses in the US if they are running on government land. However, there are 60,000 horses that have already been captured that can be adopted for only $125.
Poor thing you did such a good job of training though I see people using whips I do it in such a cruel way so finally somebody who can do in a kind way
My dogs would be in BIG trouble if they enter my training space with a horse. It is extreme risk, I'm personally not gonna take. I am also a TIP trainer.
Has anyone ever put a mustang into Harness? And are they receptive to pulling? My riding days are in the past, but I still love driving, and training harness horses..
what size round pen do you use? I'm hoping to get started with a mustang next year, but I'm not sure what size to make. For adoption, you have to have a shelter for my area, but it looks like it doesn't need to be in the area they're first delivered to, which was another concern I had.
I use a 50 foot round pen. Sometimes 45 is better. You can use your round pen as a pen for the mustang, but you are right, it can also be a separate enclosure.
There is limited land in the west for the horses to live. Some of them must be removed in order to keep the environment from being irreparably damaged.
What do you do you do if your horse always keeps there face to you constantly how ever backs anytime if you go forward & starts shaking there head & basically freezes.. do u have a video for that..
You have to get the horse moving around the round pen. You will probably have to use a training stick or something similar to get his feet moving. Check out my video called Wild Mustang Training Silver Day 1.
In my opinion you need to keep the dog out of the pen. It is a distraction to the horse. You can't get his complete attention if he's watching you and the dog. The times you said he was suprisingly scared, I believe was because of the dog. The first session the dog was'nt present and you had no snorting.
I have a horse for show.. he got the attack and bitting attitude… if fix him by body language… is there any chance for him to attack agin in the future
Do you know anyone in the Bay Area CA who does gentling or literally anything involving training mustangs and would be open to letting someone shadow them? I’m 14, I don’t know anyone who does this kind of thing where I live but it’s been a dream of mine to work with mustangs since I was 4. I’d really like to meet someone who lives nearby who does what I want to do so that I can ask all of my unanswered questions, and maybe even get a bit of experience in the next few years!
wildhorsesonline.blm.gov/ Go to this website and fill out the application. It takes a few days to get approved. Once approved, you can go to a BLM holding facility and adopt a horse, or you can adopt one from a TIP trainer. This one is available if you are interested in him.
Ok before I watch this. I have question,I rescue an untouched two year old filly Saturday and same afternoon she got out of the wire fence pen,which was my fault not putting her in a more secure pen,anyway for days I worked on getting close and getting trust but then Tues she started hanging out with the other horses so now she's starting come up with them , should I continue this way and just let her get comfortable with me until I can get her in pen to work her or try and catch her asap then start ?? I think she will get comfortable eventually but I can tell she's not trusting people.shes not a mustang but is from new Mexico with several others that were neglected and underweight.
BLM.gov/adoption. Should give you all the basic info. If you would like to adopt a mustang that has been gentled, which I recommend, go to mustang heritage foundation.org and look for a TIP trainer in your area. You can also call Mustang Heritage Foundation and they will help you.
NO, no, no. Do not run the horse with a lead rope dragging. Very dangerous. Also, take the "Gentling Wild Horses" class from Monty Roberts. You'll do in 5 days what will take you a month, or more.
I love that you always end on a good note and that you are working in slow increments. (I kind of cringe at the dragging line though.) He seems like a very smart, sensible horse. I hope he found a loving home.
"Once my wife tells me what I'm going to name him, I'll let you know" ha ha, love it.
Just how it is.
I'm so sad T.I.P is gone. It helped so many people and horses come together
Thank you for allowing me to do this with you! I love learning and truly appreciate you letting me help.
You did a good job.
This is great. I just adopted a Mustang and have a TIP Trainer too. This helps me a lot.
This is a very good example of very good horsemanship and training.
Thank you.
I love his ear action in this video. Mustangs are so attentive to the environment and quick to learn. Im surprised his ears dont hurt 😂
this guy is the Bob Ross of horse training
Thanks. I will work on the Afro hair do.
Thank you for this. Your video shows more, IA real and explains everything, especially the subtle changes
Thank you for sharing this with us! Can't wait to see how you help him build his confidence:)
Also, what microphone do you use to record your voice for these videos?
excellent video! thank you very much for sharing your knowledge...there is a valuable lesson on the way that the horse feels, and thinks... very useful information! those lessons where really nice ones!
Thanks. I kicked the dog out of the pen after the second day.!
Go slower; get there faster….this is lovely! Beautiful energy and communication already!! Very nicely done. Your voice is so soothing and trusting, I’d turn and follow you!!!
Thank you
How did I miss this done? I love watching your gentleness with these guys.
Really beautiful Mustang. I wish i could buy him. Nice video!
Wonderful first lesson with this fellow. :) Natural horsemanship.
Nice to see the session ending on a positive note and in an appropriate time frame. In the beginning less is more.
Wonderful beginning!

I have several riding students who had never ridden until they were in their 60s. Dreams do come true.

Will buy 2, no way would I have 1 only.....
Wow! Silver really beefed up! He looks great
Thanks so much ❤ amazing
the horse when he snorts:
Yah you better back up
Nice Training
We worked wildies in the round pen but guess what? On day one they did not have a halter on.
Thank you for your time and your skills that you shared with us

The dog scared Blackie.

If you want to adopt a mustang I recommend contacting Mustang Heritage Foundation . Ask them about a TIP Trainer in your area
I’m in south Texas looking into getting a few of these thank you for your time
Great
The Spanish Vaquero is the foundation of the cowboy
Are you allowed to capture a wild horse yourself or do you have to go through an agency like the one this horse came from? From London, UK
Thank you for your kind comments. You are not allowed to capture wild horses in the US if they are running on government land. However, there are 60,000 horses that have already been captured that can be adopted for only $125.
Before you said anything I was thinking “Blacky”.
Poor thing you did such a good job of training though I see people using whips I do it in such a cruel way so finally somebody who can do in a kind way
Thank you
Caught in August, I'd call him Gus.
The dog is the real trainer, admit that
Trust me, I get any horse to come to me with my dog next to me. I have an Aussie and horses just love him.
True grit is a great movie
this horse looks like a small Mr. T
My dogs would be in BIG trouble if they enter my training space with a horse. It is extreme risk, I'm personally not gonna take.
I am also a TIP trainer.
Has anyone ever put a mustang into Harness? And are they receptive to pulling? My riding days are in the past, but I still love driving, and training harness horses..
I have not done it but mustangs can be trained to do anything any other horse can do.
what size round pen do you use? I'm hoping to get started with a mustang next year, but I'm not sure what size to make. For adoption, you have to have a shelter for my area, but it looks like it doesn't need to be in the area they're first delivered to, which was another concern I had.

All horses are like this its ether flight or fight. For first time
Why are wild horses being captured and sold? What’s the driving point? What’s the “why”
There is limited land in the west for the horses to live. Some of them must be removed in order to keep the environment from being irreparably damaged.
What do you do you do if your horse always keeps there face to you constantly how ever backs anytime if you go forward & starts shaking there head & basically freezes.. do u have a video for that..

Yes, after I saw this video I ejected the dog.
So cool my horse is part mustang she is in my last video great job
Thanks
@@SteveDyer YW
What does a TIP trainer get paid?
Check www.mustang heritage foundation.org
I have a horse for show.. he got the attack and bitting attitude… if fix him by body language… is there any chance for him to attack agin in the future
It is possible but not likely. He attacks because he is afraid. Once you get him past the fear, he will be fine.
@@SteveDyer thanks and appreciate your reply

Hey can I please get some information on adopting a wild horse thank you 🙏🏽

im interested in adopting and training
Contact Mustang Heritage Foundation and ask about a TIP trainer in your area.
Can I buy and get shipped out of USA??
Probably but I think you would have to buy a titled Mustang. There are several Mustang Facebook pages where you can ask questions like this.
you lost me at.only wild horses in nevada. theyre all over utah, wyoming, and idaho
what is that stick called? I need that!
Training stick,
I’ve been trying to find that type of stick everywhere, where did you get yours ?
We picked him up at the BLM facility in Pauls Valley, OK.
@@SteveDyer you got the training stick from the blm? That’s cool I didn’t know the blm offered training equipment. I
Sorry I misunderstood. Some old cowboys used to call horses sticks. I got the stick on Amazon 😎
how did you get the halter on
BLM will put it on the horse in the chute before you load him if you ask them to do it.
Point in the direction you want the horse to go...
Yeah i thought that as well
rope on the ground is a big no no.. you can kill the horse doing this ..bad move
How does a wild horse have a halter on?
The BLM guys put them in a chute and put the halter on before they load him.
Get that dog out of their.
Would 4 acres be enough to have a horse?
Yes

I think either way would probably be fine. If she is comfortable with another horse, try to put both of them in the secure pen together for a while.
Little blackie ? 😅😅😅
Please give me info on adoption.

I will take my time and not stress my mustangs out. I will end up with a bonded mustang for life who trusts me totally.
Amazing animals
