❤️ ABOUT THIS CHANNEL❤️
My name is Britta and this is my experience as an everyday person learning how to train mustangs. I’m what I call a “project equestrian” This is not training advice or recommendations, and many of the methods you see will be changing over the course of time as I continue to learn and grow. www.projectequestrian.com

I’m happy that so many folks are seeing the value in training up these lovely mustangs.
Very stressful for them, I hope that the adopters take the time necessary to let them feel comfortable before they start to train them, i love the Mustangs, the real symbol of freedom is when you can see them on the range .
We adopted 2311 (the dapple gray) and will be sharing his journey on our channel!
I sure hope that these gorgeous beauties get great homes with lots of love and care! ❤ 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
I am interested in adopting a beautiful mustang to give them a great home full of love and care. I’m learning about the process and how to get them trained on your channel. Thank you for sharing this helpful information
Ugh I want to donate WD40 for the gates! Lol. I feel for these horses. Neat video again, thank you!
I felt those creaks in my bones.
So many lose their li in the round ups its very sad. Thankfully these beauties will find loving and caring homes. They are on my bucket list, adopt one or two of them.
So manny gorgeous horses!
So fun to watch! Thanks for posting.😊
I saw alot of potential in some of those horses! Each of them are special, but some of them, wow!
All are special.
It was really nice to meet you there 😊
A lot of nice horses. I had my eye on the big, bay mare too. Love the way those guys maneuver the gates. It’s almost an art.
I grew up going to this very pen, I hope they all find good homes.
Nice pickup facility! Clean and well organized.
So great to see so many being adopted. Thanks for the video!
Hey heyyy girl! Next time you are in Florida let me know! We aren’t far from Ocala, and you can come meet my Mustang 🥰🥰 he’s an Onaqui boy 🩷✌🏼
May I ask what is an Onaqui ? No shade whatsoever- I’m just wondering !
@@leanneadams2549 it’s the name of a land range with wild horses!
I'm also in FL. On a farm up in the Panhandle area.
What beautiful horses 😊
First time I have seen how they get them separated. Interesting.
I want to have some land so i can rescue some horses. I really want some USFS Devil's Garden Modoc stock. I'm closest to the Ewing, IL holding facility, so when I'm able, I'm going to get my 'stangs. I'd love to get a blue roan, but I'll be pleased with a soft eyed calm baby. 4366 & his penmate are a gorgeous matched pair.
Thank you for filming the pickup event.
I have spent many days online "window shopping".
And wondered how the process worked out.
🐎✌️🤠
I wish I could help them and have a place for some
I feel bad for these animals. Running Free and then.rounded up, held in holding pens and then bid on, like their lives are not their own. Hopefully they will go to good home's 🙂
The blm doesn’t have much space for these wild horses to be in, they’re basically over populated in the wild and eating and killing all the vegetation for other wild animals and if that gets out of hand it could end up killing off other animal species in the area if that makes sense. It’s better for both the horses and other animals and some people get to take home they’re dream horse.
Ya but u just think there in better hands ❤
It’s not the wild horses that are overgrazing public land. It’s privately owned cattle & sheep.
For every wild horse there are 125 cattle according to the latest PEER report. Plus cattle are way more destructive to the native plants & grasses than the horses. To protect the public land the privately held livestock needs to be removed. Make the cattle ranchers keep their herds on their own land.
@@learobinson4450 I think gelding the stallions would take care of some of the over population
Population is controlled by the number of fertile females. Lots of fertile females usually means population increases. Reduce the number of fertile females & population declines. One stallion could breed hundreds of mares so gelding a few won’t make a noticeable difference.
Take 11 stallions & 11 mares & put them on 2 islands. The first island has 10 stallions & one mare. The second island has 10 mares & one stallion. In 5 yrs, with good conditions, the first island would have 5 more horses while the second would have 50.
But again the horses are not the problem. It’s the 1.5 million head of privately owned cattle on public land that destroying the ecosystems. And their doing it while being subsidized by American taxpayers since the ranchers who own the cattle pay just pennies per head per day.
It costs a rancher just $1.35 per month for a cow & calf while it costs the American taxpayer over a $120 million each year to subsidize it. Ranchers either need to pay a whole lot more to cover entire cost or get their livestock off public land.
Wow that one in 8 pen so cute
Nice video - Thank you for sharing
The big bay mare 1975 ended up coming to me in February. Things didn’t work out with her original adopter. I love her so much she’s wonderful!
Oh wow!!! You got lucky then!! I didn’t have to look to see which horse was 1975- She was quite memorable 💜 enjoy your fancy girl!
Interesting! I found your channel a few weeks ago, thanks for showing us non-horse people how these sales go! My grandpatents had 2 pasture ponies we'd ride once in a while on a blanket. I've done some equine rehab through the veterans center at ac rescue down in Heinsburgh- before COVID hit. Best wishes from down the road in Burlington!
Oh awesome! Always nice to see a fellow Vermonter here! 😁
Love the horse getting a roll in now that all their pen mates are gone.
Good luck girl
Thanks again for bringing this event to us, Britta. Non-horsewoman here, but mustang-curious and partial to the dark bay or black ones, also hoping to hear more about beauties like 1975 and 3792 later. As for pairs like these 16:43, it'd be a shame to separate them, but does keeping them together help or hinder their ability to bond w/others or in training? Again, knowing far more about shelter dogs than BLM adoption horses as I do, I'd probably go for the leftovers myself, but what do I know. All are beautiful, though.
😉💕🐴
It's likely that the sorrels aren't truly bonded, they just stuck together because it's a stressful situation and company makes it better
@@Polopony20. Oops, sorry. No matter, but I guess these two are grey, not sorrel.
Yeah and that bay. Wow look at that conformation.
Nice that some are already adopted
Also man do they take off when they run!
🎉😮❤
22:39 aww this one
Were you on vacation, or in Ocala to get a horse? I am in N FL. Wish I had known about this sale.
Hope to see 1975 in the new classic. Cool to see her before and after.
That will be cool.
How much are they? Are they auctioned off?😊
God help all farmers,mustangs and ranchers
There will come a time not so far from now when the animals of this earth will be free to roam again.
REALLY well done video. So interesting to see it all in action and how quiet and calm the BLM workers are in motion. You do such a great service helping get mustangs into homes.
we have a BLM mustang lesson horse at the riding club i belong to:) he is so adorable & feisty!
18:50 I like this one
Makes sense they wouldn't bring a ton into FL that aren't pickups. Given what a hassle entering FL is
Where are you in Florida?
WD40 those metal hinges!!!
These poor horses are soo scared! It just breaks my heart😢 They don't understand, how many times do they have to go thru this process before being sold? 💔❤️🐎❤️
What a terrible sound from the doors during the sorting. The horses are super stressed from that door noise. Sounds like in a horror movie!
I really hate seeing these mustangs put through so much stress. They just don’t know what is happening. My goal with my horses was to keep life as calm as possible. Since horses are a prey animal stress can really affect their health.
They need to get somebody to go around and oil those gates. All that screeching just makes things worse.
So sad they get split up from there pack
They are so scared
I didn[t see any food or water on that truck.
Я дякую народу і уряду США за поміч Україні
Слава Україні!!! Героям Слава!!
Unhandled wild horses usually end badly and neglected by people with no experience.
