Do you know what herd he is from? ive been looking for a friesian looking mustang fo forever! i always wanted a friesian but after i got my mustang i decided only mustangs because they need homes more, do you know where the herd hes from is? thank you!
@animalcrueltyisevil No they didn't you idiot........... They are focusing on lowering the herd rate, but not by killing. by selling, nor to slaughter houses, nor do they 'torture' them as you claim. You are only trying to annoy, get on peoples nerves, and spread lies.
Oh yeah. You are completely clueless. If they "care" about the horses why did they let two foals have their hooves run off and then made them stand alone in a hard trailer for four hours and then put them in a pen without their mothers before, FINALLY, putting them out of their misery!
@animalcrueltyisevil Because your lying. none of that crap ever happened. even if it did, at least they put them out of their pain. unlike someone who doesnt understand pain, and wouldnt put down a horse in pain like you. HORSES CANT RUN OFF THEIR HOOVES. you know nothing. their hooves are harder than YOUR skull apparently.
Thats one hell of a nice mustang you got there. I been looking for one like that or trying to trap one on my reservation. We aint got good looking ones like that here. Just those cheap ass pigeon footed ones who are scawny as hell. Hope one day to trap one as good as your stud is. Wish me luck.
beautiful horse. i have always have and interest, but don't have the required 6 foot fences to bring one home. he is either a huge horse, or you are able to get around the 6ft fence requirement. how would one do that??
I'm loving the comments on here - I just adopted an 11 BLM mustang and am giggling at all the "join up" videos that say "wild mustang" when what i'm looking at is a horse in some complex halter, being led into a circle pen on a lead rope. Our guy is dragging his lead, but let me tell you - he's figured out pretty quickly how to avoid stepping on it. They're so much smarter than we give them credit for. I'd love someone to point me in the direction of "how" to begin working with these beauties
@wondercoe6 Well I'm just a horse lover/owner, no pro but tame mine and friend's colts. I put him in the pen and move him both ways, first loose then with the lead rope.Be sure about yourself and make him feel he is safe with you,Be patient,yet firm. Mix what you read, hear and see from pros and make your system, there is no ONE way.Aim at having him stay calm while you get to touch him all over.Lean on him, hang from him, lay on him, get on him. No time limits,patience, watch and learn etc.
@3XSunniXlove3 and patience. If threatened they will try and kill you. Lead them out HAH! AND Thats why he was in a round pen, to keep him far enough away from me to keep me safe, and also far enough away from him that he did not feel the need to smash through or jump over panels to get out. You progressively get closer. My first mustang it took me three months to touch, now I can get it done an hour or a few depending on the horse, They have to slowly accept you. You dont just walk up to them.
@3XSunniXlove3 Are you kidding me? There is no LEADING A WILD HORSE out of the trailer! You cannot even reach in and touch them through the trailer they are so freaked out. The lead was put on in a squeeze chute by the blm. The squeeze litterally squeezes them so they cannot move much and the guys put it on a fast as they can. They then chase the horse into the trailer. Did ya think you just grabbed the rope and lead them in? As it was I got the lead off a few hours later, but with A LOT of time
@3XSunniXlove3 There is no calming down a wild horse, these horses have never been touched or handled before they are brought home. Regardless BLM MAKES you halter them. They will not release the horse without a halter on. They wrap it around their neck but it ALWAYS comes undone. Luckily out of all the horses I have brought home no one has ever gotten injured because of it. I let the horse settle in and then work them and get the lead off.
hes gonna be a really really good saddle horse......my 2 cents and 50 yrs exp. the only issue you face is trimming his feet......before they get long/////
@buddymacs He is now awesome under saddle I posted an update video awhile back. We trimmed his feet two weeks later, and he was good. The only issue was him letting someone other than me pick up his feet. Once I had the farrier lead him around, & flag him he was fine. The first 4 trimmings he was a little snorty, and unsure, but after that he realized that he wasn't gonna hurt him. =]
Abbey, with the BLM stated no BLM horses would go to slaughter, now we know they have in the past. So are his words a smokecreen, outright lie, or the truth.
he's a beauty!! How was he to train, if you dont mind me asking? I'm going to be adopting a mustang in the next few months and I've been considering getting a young stud...
@HavvahartKL If you have not adopted and trained many horses mustangs and non-mustangs I would NOT get a stud. I picked this guy b/c I knew he would be an effective challenge of how well my program really works. I had to prove to the BLM that I could handle this stud and then show that I had the resources (such as a chute) incase he was injured, that he could recieve medical care. They had absolutely no confidence in him every turning into a riding horse. They were amazed when I brought them pic
Very nice conformation...beautiful shoulder...and close coupled rather like the truly classic arabs were although he looks to have at least a bit of draft blood in him.
@ancestralblue Great, I haven't had any new videos up because I dislocated my knee, but there is a new progress video up from september. Big difference. Even though he is a stallion I pony mares off him, and take him everywhere with me. He shows well and is great to ride. =]
@TheFlyingArabianPony Makes me wonder about a horse that was turned loose on the range quite a few years ago...He was a bay Arabian stallion named Tyger Too. Equus ran a story about how they were experimenting with improving the range horses by the introduction of other blood.
I wonder if this is one of his progeny or a descendent.
@ancestralblue I actually heard something very similar but with a Freisan stallion. I swear one of my friends got a descendent when she adopted hers. Hmm I bet the owner could DNA type him and see, if he was registered with AHA they should have DNA on him.
If you haven't had a mustang off the range, you have no right chastising us who have had mustangs off the range for anything we do including a dragline (leadrope). If you get too close to them in the beginning, they can and will take your head off with either end. So you must have a way to catch them to start the slow process of getting close to them. Or , in my case, doctor them. Ours were sick when we got them way back in 1977. We had to get meds into them. Good luck and good job.
Lovely horse and nice facility! It's too bad you couldn't have put a break away halter and a shorter foal type lead on him so you could still catch him, but he wouldn't risk breaking his neck. I get that having him step on the lead will teach him to give to pressure, but I don't think I'd leave him in that particular halter. Ah well, past is past and obviously he made it out ok. Good luck with your new guy. Do you plan on gelding him? He'd make a nice riding horse without that testosterone.
@Shalome207 The lead was not left on to teach him to give to pressure, I teach that myself. It was left on b/c the BLM makes you leave it on. No I have had him two years and have not gelded him. He is a fantastic riding horse with the testosterone as well because from day three he was not allowed to call to mares, drop or any other stud behavior unless he was actually breeding. He is triple registered now through thee spanish mustang registries which are chosen buy type,conformation and temperme
Obviously you know nothing about wild horses. He we would have opened the door and he would blown through the door he could have really hurt my brother. Second the blm makes you have a halter and lead on. These are wild and dangerous animals.did you see the wood no the back? That's because they will jump out while your moving. Try adopting and breaking your own before you pass judgement. Ask. Anyone whos done it they're unpredictable. I was keeping my family safe.
@barehorsetraining Cogratulations on your new horse. Good to see people taking that responsibility. Sad to see how the BLM gets rid of them, but for that you have to read about the oil tycoons and cattle owners using your common ground to feed their cattle, there is space enough but alright but guess who loses. By the way, strange how they force you to leave a long lead rope on, it actually seams more dangerous at this stage of his wildness than later when more acustomed to his new surroundings.
@barehorsetraining In Europe we don't have wild mustangs, though depending on the country you do find more or less wild horses. I tame mind and friends' horses and I would not have left a lead rope on any I was starting, let alone a wild horse even if I was forced(take it off once loaded and out of sight). It really was dangerous and luckily nothing happened..landing on it while jumping or bucking etc, imagine! anyway good luck, I'm sure he'll make great company. Regards from Madrid.
@akanewe Thanks! And I would have taken off the lead if I had the chance, but they are so wild that you cannot even touch them without putting in quite a bit of training. You have to either have a stock trailer or something with the dividers removed so you can't just reach in and unclip it. I got it off about 2 hours after unloading. Unlike most people I don't try to touch them at first, I get them halter broken before I even ever touch them through lunging and other exersises I have developed.
They are not meant to be adopted as they are WILD horses, ya know like WOLVES, they are meant to be led off like docile puppies either...they need remain on THEIR land.
@JptrGrl I agree but unfortunately the BLM will keep rounding them up, so without good homes like mine they would end up going to slaughter. So people need to adopt them. And the difference between them and wolves, is that they are a prey animal not a predator so you don't have to worry about aggression and them wanting to kill because of their instincts. Wild horses have the same instincts that domestic horses to making it safe to be around once trained.
@cravingsforcanters It is a rope halter made of stiff yatching rope. It has a braided noseband with raised edges to help provide more control being he was a wild stallion.
I have another video up of us picking up "Ace" from the blm wild horse and burro center. They chase them into a chute and then put the halter on. As you can see in the video he was terrified and keep slamming his head into the sides. Then they chase them into a trailer for you to bring them home. His first touch came an hour and a half after he got home and had settled some. When I say first touch I mean that he allowed contact, not that he was forced to accept me.
hes like a better looking black beauty!!!. hes lovely. xxx its lovely that you adopted him!! hope he works out.. would love any updates as im really into wild horses/mustangs.
OMG, that is my dream horse right there. He is just stunning and a beautiful mover. Good luck with him and I would love to see more vids when you get him started.
He is so pretty! Have you checked to see if the Callahan HMA is a Calvary Remount area? If so, its very easy that he could have so thoroughbred and draft in him.
He is from the Callahan HMA. I always have lead ropes put on my mustangs, because I usually have them at least leading and touching by the end of the first day, then I unhook them. Thank you, I have always thought he looked friesian, I am going to have him tested to see.
I'm doing the mustang makeover for my very first time in may I'm so excited! Your horse is beautiful by the way!
