Don't mean to be rude but it looked like he went into rollkur sometimes. My young pony does it too sometimes when I ask him to go down, but that's because it was how he was broken in and trained before I got him. Are you asking him on purpose or is it just a miscommunication of him trying to hard?
I have just sat here, and watched from day one of Ranger, to this. You have done an AMAZING job with him, and in my books, You won this competition! :D
That was amazing, and Ranger is so beautiful! My first horse was a mustang, and she was the best horse. Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to adopt one.
I've just watched these into the early hours of the morning. Wow. What a journey and i thank you. You are lovely and Ranger is just the best. Thank you for all i have learned. What a fab time i've had....even though i'll be exhausted!!!
@AKAcath I purchased Ranger at the sale and he is now my CMSA mounted shooting horse! His first year of competition was 2009 and he won ladies division 3 a total 3 times moving me up to a level 4! At our first shoot this year 2010 he won our first competition in both the main match and we were the over all shot gun winner! You can look up Cowboy Mounted Shooting on the internet to find out more! Our goal is to be a national champion shooting horse some day!
@laumantr it makes me want to cry when i see all of these videos because its a happy story, no matter how you put it! from how you started and how he is now, its amazing. you are an excelent trainer, and everyone should respect our judgement!=D
you know i didnt quite like the guy who got first place's performance, it didnt get the croud going as much as yours and the third place guys...kitty, you are an absolutely amazing person, i wish i had the confidence to do half of the things you are doing...im just always scared if i go too far with being persistent my horse is gonna pull over me and flip over...you are a true role model for me now...absolutely phenomenal!
ranger is one heck of a horse ..you guys worked as one and i love how eager he was to cooperate!!! i share a passion for horses ever since birth they are such beauftiful creatures to be around !!! you and ranger should of came in 1st!!!!
I think you and Ranger should have won for sure. He was so calm and well behaved. Right from the beginning when he ended up with his back legs on the box and he didn't spook. You did an amazing job with him!
So within this whole Mustang Makeover division do people do english riding at all? and for this particulat free style class do you make your own course and set it up before you go out in the ring?
Yes, there are a few that show english and we were required to set up our own pattern although there were several things that we were required to perform through our pattern. We had 4 minutes to set up and 4 minutes to perform and another 4 to tear down!
this was amazing. i would love to be able to train like you one day, and really understand "the horse" haha. you do beautiful work. I would love to have the chances to work at places you do and be able to become such a good trainer, though right now at 15 i cant do much because along with my age i dont have much to work with. {space, horses, money} haha. so i just want you to kno, that i look to you for inspration. you are amazing! one day i want to adopt and train a mustang of my own. :)
I am glad you have enjoyed Rangers videos and thank you for the wonderful comments! I love to work with horses and help people learn as well! Some day if you get to Oregon you will have to look me up! Take care and live your dreams!
Hey. We are thinking of getting a wild mustang and we want help training.I was wondering where you are located because if you live close to me I was wondering if you could help us to train it? Thanks.
We live in Central Oregon and would love to help you with your horse! If we aren't close to you we do clinics or have training videos for sale. please visit our website laumantraining
Kitty, thankyou SO much for putting this on your homepage and youtube! I couldn't be there in person and was so bummed.....thanks to you and all the others, I can still watch :)
Can hardly wait to hear how you do with Karma! :D
I just spent the whole day watching these videos. What a journey! I'm planning to use your techniques to save an 11-year-old Saddlebred/Morgan cross who spent his whole life in a dark barn. You can follow his progress on my page. Thank you so much for sharing!!! Best to you both and to your family.
oh my god Kitty! you and ranger are fantastic. Both of you1 I have watched all your videos over an over again. now i wanna get a mustang of my own and do that event. i love working with horses but im to young for people to want me to train theres. I would love you to post more!
I don't envy the judges for having to chose between you and Guy Woods. Both routines were fantastic. However, I'd have given you first place! Great job. Really inspiring. Congratulations.
Kitty and Ranger...awesome job and I truthfully liked your routine the best! I thought you really showed the versatility of your training and a really quiet horse. Maybe I can come meet Ranger and get more lessons from you sometime before vet school?!
Woo! Go Kitty and Ranger! I'm definitely going to be investing in your Wild to Willing DVD, Kitty, especially since my future plans now include adopting a mustang of my own. Thanks for showing that many more people how great the wild ones are.
Way to go! You've done an amazing job with Ranger. I've been sitting on the edge of my seat all week waiting for this video. Brought tears to my eyes. :D
wow that horse is amazing its just so willing and she is a fab trainer i can only hope to be like her someday xxx
