That splash mare is like, deeeply wine red, I love her ^.^
Oh that dark grey! Makes me melt
All of them look great!!❤
VanFLEET and the homies !!! Lets go!!
They are gorgeous 😊
Sooo exciting. Thanks for taking us along. Excited to see the progression. Wonderful job!!❤
Ooh I love the way that red mare is built! And she has some of the best body condition I’ve seen on a mustang at pickup.
Really nice-looking horses! And your mare is such a gorgeous almost burgundy sorrel! If she was Arabian she would be considered a chestnut!! Nice behavior too! Hope we get to see videos of each ones progress!
Chestnut and sorrel are the same color, sorrel is just the western riding term
@@Polopony20. Not necessarily. Sorrels normally have a more reddish tone to them, and chestnuts are normally either lighter or darker and more orange or brownish colored.
@@Polopony20. its a breed term, different registries use different words. It has nothing to do with western or english disciplines
We never use the word Sorrel in the U.K. , it’s always chestnut
@angiew1841 I prefer the chestnut description too! But here in the USA, in Quarter Horse breeding, there are sorrels and chestnuts!
❤❤❤❤️❤️My Favorite Horse Channel😀
That mare is so very precious~! Socks and a blaze? Perfect markings!
Beautiful horses 🤩
Your mare is GORGEOUS oh my word!
Same you're getting up to nearly 85k followers!! Very cool.
Good luck with your horses! They are both really nice-looking.
Nice picks. I like both of them.
That palomino is a good size. Really love your mare with 4 white stockings.
What nice sound useful looking horses! Good luck with training them, from across the pond.
This is a awesome video! Congratulations
Love the noise. These horses seem really chill. Looks like some great training ahead.
That mare is just gorgeous.
Yay!! This is so exciting❤
Oh no i think I'm in love with the chestnut mare! 😍😂
Ohh I love the mare! How she reacts to everything
Nice job 0n the video
Love them all
just amazes me how well wild horses trailer
Beautiful horses 🐴🐴🐴🐴, good luck with the training. Hope you have easy time taming them. Best wishes & blessings for your family and friends.🤠☮️✌️
They are beautiful! What size is the horse part of your trailer? Looks like maybe a 16' (8' for each section)? We are going to get my IA horses soon (hopefully anyways, just waiting for them to arrive in NE) with a 16' and just trying to figure out how they will fit size-wise with 2 in each section... most of the time, we just take our 12', but with the long trip, we're planning to take the 16' as it's narrower on the interstate. I will be at the KHP competing in the youth division during the mustang classic, and can't wait to meet you if I get the chance!
I hope.you enjoy your mustang as much i.have my.i now 80 and my.cochise is now 21 I have had him sense he was 7.mos he is the best baby to me good luck
😅
That grey! 😍
Your mare is gorgeous 😍
Hello from the Pennsylvania mountains! Yahoo
Hi Fr.Australia 🥰🐴🐎🙏
Seems like the quality of horses has really come up since the drafty horses of the 80s and 90s. I just have to wonder if there is not some intervention with releasing quality horses into the stock.
Wow thanks
So curious. City girl question.. How long have these 'wild' mustangs been in captivity? You said gelding. When was this horse gelded and for how long before you picked him up? They are gorgeous.
It normally depends on the horse...if you look at the online auction (wildhorsesonline.blm.gov [they don't have any on there right now] they have been captured normally anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Some of the horses are even born at facilty (normally 1-2 year olds) and they've been there their whole life. They normally geld the stallions pretty soon after capture, just with the mares and personality and all.
Mustangs sure are much calmer at pick up now that many spend months/years in feedlots, oops "holding facilities" instead of the range.
Thanks for videoing pick up day, I'm all in on getting one now.
Btw I'm 58 and got a mustang 30 years ago, was definitely different then.
Yeswd40woul be a great improvement
Lovely horses...I'm not sure I could get a silver mustang and not call him Thowra. LOL Good thing she is a mare but I'd probably name her BelBel
Ahh the Silver Brumbies, loved reading those books when I was young.
they seem used to being moved around in these facilities. quite a system, loud, but it works.
Congratulations on your horses!!!!
Do you ever train the horses to do trail rides western style also barrel racing? I love the dapple grey but I would want a boy. How much do you charge to train a horse that you pick up then rehome?
She has information go to title and scroll down
There are mustangs online gallery blm all need great homes.40 percent of tbere lands have been sold in land grabs to other countries like farns and ranches
What HMA did they come off of?
is that a natural marking on the horse's neck? that is so cool.
It’s a freeze brand used for identification.
HELLO SAM I like she is nice
Are you keeping them?
Which pickup place?
Where was this adoption pick-up held?
They are so cute! Were these guys SA or adopted?
Dear God, they need to put some WD-40 on some hinges.
They so horribly stressed already after all they have been through why seperate them!?? It seems kinda mean , why seperate them?
Gelding? When was this wild mustang gelded?
They do it before the online or in-person auctions, normally pretty soon after capture
@@tayandtaff8053 Ouch. Thank you.
If I were fortunate enough to be able to adopt some mustangs, I would be determined to take a family group. Taking individuals or choosing by color seems so shallow to me. I suppose I should be happy to know that these particular horses aren't going to slaughter.
Good luck with that. The BLM DOES NOT keep them together, or tell you which ones are related. The best you can do is to adopt ones from the same area they were rounded up from and that does not guarantee that they are related. Why so judgmental of others?
Omg, can’t they afford some WD 40 ? All that noise !
Geez ... those poor horses. I had to turn the sound down it hurt my ears so much.
It will get them used to noises. Nit gonna hurt anyone.😊
No one including the horses should have to listen to that !!!! It’s not a noise they need to get use to cuz most people use WD 40. 😂 Duh.
Nooo kidding!! Stressful to horses and humans! In the third on I was ready to go find that &)&%# noise and make it stop!! How horrible for those horses to have to listen to that no stop!! 😡😡😡
@@thobbs5138 they can get used to less aggravating sounds! That noise is fucking ridiculous!!! I imagine your one of those beat them to ground kind of people and don’t give a rats ass about what the animal is going through
Some lucky guy is gonna get to marry you.
I can’t help but think all that time they have to train mustangs on daddy’s ca$h.
Welcome to my channel! Glad you made it to see my program I developed by myself 😉 not sure who you have resentment with, but good luck becoming a happier human!! Hope you get that figured out
@@SamVanFleet I know I know. I'm just a little jelly that's all. I started from nothing and can't dedicate the time to train like I wish. You have something very good going. Cheers! Sorry for any offense.
You know your splitting up family groups which is super important to them
This would have been a great video but it was filmed choppy. terrible videographer
