- Moscato is a 5-year-old mustang mare from Fish Creek Nevada. She was my draw for the 2023 Mustang Magic Trainer's Challenge in Fort Worth Texas.
We picked up in September and had approximately 120 days to tame, train, and compete with our mustangs January 19-21. Trainers and mustangs spend the time preparing for a handling & conditioning class, trail class, maneuvers class, and compulsory. Top 10 competes Saturday night and a competitive bid and auction follows the makeover.
34 selected and invited trainers picked up initially for this competition, 23 made it to the event.
Moscato and I made the Top 10 landing 7th overall in the Prelim classes. We had a last minute planned freestyle class which kept us in 7th overall. She is going to a really good home in Florida.

Hi Sam
I literally never tear up at videos, but the way her new owner got so emotional and hugged her choked me up. Well done with her Sam, and congrats on her new family, she's an absolutely stunning horse
🕴
Yes I'm not the only leaky eyed individual....I m in love with mo...great job sam
Ngl I cried
Im fifty now, and train Horses over 30 Years. And i can tell you: you did a great job. Its not only that we can ride a Horse at the end... Its about how we get there. Understanding, willing to listen, patience, knowledge, feeling for finding right timing dure training. And youve got it. Keep on training Horses. It means the World to me, hope it means the World to you too 🥰
Big Hug from Switzerland

Absolutely, it will carry over for the rest of the mare’s life and into the performance with the new owner. If she never learns to want to do and wants to trust you, you haven’t gotten anywhere. All you did was force her and that’s not what you want in the end. Trust and bonding the goal, or should be. This girl did a great job. I had horses for later part of 60s through 2009 and showed for most of that time period, bred and raised 3 colts.
Awesome 💯😎
Every mustang deserves an excited reaction like her new Mums. So sweet. Beautiful job done!
im 3 minutes in and already CRYING. Watching a wild, scared horse becoming friends with a human is the most beautiful thing
There's something so special about Mo. She is an amazing little mare. Of all the mustangs you have worked with (other than your heart horse) she was my favorite. Slow, steady, willing and kind. And she's beautiful with the prettiest eyes I've seen on a horse in years. Zane Gray was a famous western writer and Mo is very much like the type of horse he so admired and put in his books. He loved mustangs and could never say enough good things about what magnificent horses they are. Hopefully through young, passionate, trainers like you the Mustang will continue to meet the American public. They are great, all around horses and a national treasure. Thanks for all you do for these wonderful horses.
When her new mom saw her and realized it was her I started tearing up 🥹 ❤
Now THAT was a happy ending....and what a tear jerker. Mo was supposed to be hers. Simply beautiful mare, and look at that mane and forelock. Always beautiful training. Love, love, love seeing a Mustang mare get such a good forever home.💞
Wow. Just wow. Is it just me or does Moscato have something extra special?! ❤ Absolutely loved her new mom’s reaction!
Im not all the way through yet, but oh man there's such a big difference between day 1 and day 3!!! Sam you are amazing!!
Edit: aw I love that she ended up with such a good home! I love seeing makeovers like these!
Oh, to form that bond and then to let her go must be so very emotionally difficult. But to see your friend's Mom so tearfully happy and to see Moscato accept her arms wrapped around her in a hug...it looks as if Moscato knew this is where I belong.
She is absolutely beautiful ~ what an amazing job you did congratulations. My 14 year old daughter wants to train the babies.
I've watched several of your 100 day gentling videos and I'm always amazed at how wild some mustangs are but after a 100 days they can't get enough of your loving touch.. Great work. I hope you are proud of all that you have accomplished - I so hope that when you look in the mirror the image looking back has a huge smile on its face.
Seems like her perfect family was waiting for her the whole time💜
i just love her amazing temperament . not once did she ever try to put you in harm and she took to everything so well
🕴
Sam, missed your videos. Im we all will watch this several times. The end is so special. I'm sure the pride in your heart was huge!! I know mine was! So awesome.
I live about 10miles away from Fishcreek and helped run cows on that range. Years ago one of the ranch managers cleared the range of most of the studs and tearned out thoroughbreds. All of the horses in that unit are good looking.
I always am fearful nearing the end of these videos because I the trust and love with the trainer is so great, and then the horse gets sold on and I worry the next owner will not understand or be kind. It can be such a rough life for horses with owners who don’t understand horses, or worse think they do, when they really only understand how to dominate horses. But then the way this woman held Moscato’s head… I cried. Thank you both for showing this beautiful girl a good life!
Sam, you are amazing. You certainly have a gift for training. Love and respect.
I have seen most of your makeovers and none of them made me cry like this one.
I am so happy Mo.💖🐴
Larissa Zeeuwe, a young Dutch woman has reacted to Sam's 2023 Mustang Magic video. Her reaction is special because she admits that she doesn't know anything about horses. Her reaction is worth a watch!
I find amazing to witness how psychology applied by trainers differ from one to another. I like Sam's application.
I'm so glad she wound up where she will be loved and appreciated. Great job on her! In my area I see so many people pick up feral horses with good intentions, yet have no idea what to do and the horses wind up being neglected. It's so wonderful to see how they can transform in the right environment. Well done!!
She seems like such a sweet mare. You did a fantastic job with her!
Wowee! What a job! So happy for the lucky owner who clearly loves her to bits! God is So GOOD!
What a treat this vid is !! You can plainly see how this mare just wants to please her and to watch her perform her signature moves !!! Same is so gifted and has a life I could only dream of having but pretty happy she lets us tag along !!!! All the best to truly great horsemanship- or should a say horsewomanship !!!! ❤️🐴❤️
She is such a beautiful horse.
Amazing! She is such a beautiful horse! The best thing though, she is in the hands of someone that truly loved her!
Bravo! You did a fantastic job with Mo. It takes a strong person to allow a horse you started/trained to go on with its life away from you. Looks like you gave Mo the perfect home.
You have done an outstanding job training this beautiful horse Sam. Congratulations. You definitely have the gift. From the land down under.😊
I love this mare. What a big heart. I also love seeing your reaction and how you meet each horse where they need you. You are a phenomenal trainer.
I'm not crying your crying!! OMG, I love what you do Sam... was beautiful to watch Moscato develop and go home. Can't wait to see who you get next.
OMG -brought tears to my eyes. What an amazinng mare! Mo is beyond magical and so special. Sam, thank you for what you do.
I can't imagine doing it and not getting attached. My heart would break and I'm sure she will remember you always.
Your interaction was built on consistent trust and thus, she did all she could for you. I understand by helping her and finding her a loving home, you can move on to the next one who needs it.
Hoping Mo continues to be loved and respected for the beautiful being she is. ❤️🐎
Wow! It was such a great journey with a super nice mare! Looks like she found her forever home! Our Mustangs are truly a treasure in the rough!
You might be one of my favorite trainers to learn from… just watching how you hold your leg or how you time a release is just so good. Stacy Westfall, Amy Skinner, Warwick Schiller… watch out, this girl is the future.

These are all beautiful horses! So glad you train them so they can go to good homes and have a better life.
Been waiting for this! Thanks for all you do for these beautiful horses!
A top 10 horse, lucky 7, fantastic Sam!
She really wanted to trust the girl. And she missed her when she was away from her. I lived the rider, very good seat, and legs plus hands. She was able to encourage the horse to trust her and go along with the plans even she had some issues. And Sam was so young and has come a long way. She obviously learned her lesson - a horse wants to do for us and are so eager to please if we just let them. And Sam gets that. Congratulations.
I fell in love with her too - As soon as I saw the first video of her I was like 'Oh good gosh I love her and want her'
Sadly, I don't have the experience, funds, means, or location to have ever gotten her. I'm glad she went to such a loving home though. She deserves it
i saw how the first day it looked as if you were fighting a bit with each other, but it just strengthened your bond forward. i havent watched the whole video yet, but im expecting a few bumpy patches because that’s just what happens with things you cant really communicate how you would normally to. i can tell youre very experienced in this and she’s so lucky to have you working with her. she already trusted you on the second day of your togetherness, and that’s something i might see often, but i still treasure and adore how beautiful those moments are. ❤
It's always so amazing to watch them go from a terrified prey animal to a confident partner. It's almost like "magic" (I couldn't resist...sorry, not sorry).
As always Sam, great job.
I'm not crying at the end, totally not crying. . .
Her moms reaction has me bawling 😭🥰 so happy for all of you!! Well done! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
That mare is a beauty. She's powerfully built, but looks very athletic. Nice choice. All the best with her Miss Sam.
I have had a few mustangs in my days as a trainer and they make some of the best horse's.
and watching these videos makes me want to train more of them. awesome job young lady
Oh I just loved watching this horse be transformed. I hope she is happier now than she was before. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Precious horse!
I love your opening explanation. For many who don't know it's very helpful.
Hope you're living well, taking care of your health, both spiritual and physical. God bless and keep up the transforming work!
Sam works her magic again.
Awww, such a sweet story! I cried at the end when your friend's mom got her. You perform miracles with those horses, Sam. Much ❤️ from
Michigan 🌊
Felicitaciones por ese trabajo maravilloso que hiciste con ese caballo!!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!
The amount of skill and talent it takes to make those first few days look easy like this... Incredible! Great job, Sam!
What an amazing video, loved every minute of it!
❤🍷🥹 Looks like Moscato likes her new mom!
We were disappointed with the amounts most of the horses drew at this auction, but now we see the silver lining.
What you do is truly amazing, Sam. We look forward to the day you have your own facility where shy kids can learn to make friends with these amazing, loveable creatures.
I was so glad to see you had a new video up! You got a very beautiful mare to work with. I enjoyed every minute. Too too bad for the supposed original buyer but boy did they sure made one special lady very very happy,🍎❤️🍎🇨🇦
I speant my career in Las Vegas as a Veteran of the Air Force and 25 years as a critical care nurse, transport norse and a 911 response nurse. I loved my career. But when I watch the kindred spirit between you and that horse just envelopes my being . My heart is full when I watch you perform with those horses.
Great work with a smart mare! And that was possibly the sweetest reveal of a horse to a new owner, ever! I think she's where she was meant to be! A+ job!
Why do all your videos make me cry happy tears? 😊😊😊
Sam, you did a fine, fine job with that little mare. I grew up riding an older mustang gelding that my grandfather owned, although I called him my horse. When I was a kid I worked with a mustang gelding that a friend of mine owned and I absolutely love mustangs. I have also always loved working with mares. Love your vids too!!!
You are absolutely blessed with the softest touch when working with horses keep up the great work those horses are absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤
My fiance said i could get a horse but i had to train it. Growin up i watched my dad train my horse bullet but his methods didnt seem to be working. They were a bit harsh imo. But u seem to be so gentle when training them that i think I'll learn some more and may try the more gentler way. Thank you for the inspiration
I love that by day 3 you can see how excited she is to learn! A little wary of some things at first but eager to understand and get the hang of it! Love it so far!💙
Sam, you do such a wonderful job, and so kind. Mo is precious, and I'm so glad she'll be close to you in FL. This one brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your teachings, and mostly, for helping to save these beautiful horses.
Your horsemanship skills is amazing👍🏾💯 That's awesome n what you do.
She's absolutely stunning!!
You got me; a teared up again! From the way you find loving contact from the very first moments, the way you build up trust; the amazing speed you have taking these horses through our human world with all that goes with it somehow knowing all the steps the horse needs.... You are so inspiring!
Mo is absolutely stunning and seeing her arrive at her forever home with her human mum absolutely overjoyed made my day.
Thank you so much for sharing Sam, wishing you well from the Netherlands
Amazing…..my heart melts
i wanted to cry through the entire video this is absolutely amazing
A great beginning and a beautiful ending .
4 months later watching this. You are incredible!! if i get a horse i might just hook you up for it!!
IM IN TEARS!!!! SIMPLY SENSATIONAL! KUDOS HUGS AND LOVE!!!!! ❤
Excellent job Sam, wow is right. I just dont know how your able to do this, knowing at the end of your journey's with these beautiful animals, your giving them up to another home. I really dont think I could do this, my heart used to break when I had to give kittens or puppies to new homes once they were old enough, but a horse, I just couldnt, so my hat is off to you my dear. Just keep doing what your doing , you are awesome.
De szép paci sok boldogságot hozzá❤❤❤❤🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
Those first touches had me in tears....so beautiful
That is a gorgeous mare!
Parabéns e sucesso
She is precious ❤
So so great, fantastic❤ thank you for helping mustang’s 🙏
You must have been a native American horse trainer in your past life=a natural aptitude.She is a beautiful companion.
Loving the song;So long my Friend.
What an amazing transformation. Love these videos! The part when Mom see's Mo....tears! So sweet!!
Moscato looks very Spanish to me! Such a beautiful build and lovely face. Great job!
From fears to tears-beautiful. Another horse well trained and getting a great home! Congrats Sam!
Ma'am, you and Camille both are exactly what people need to so. Binge watching your videos you can see that you adapt for each horse and then end result with all of them has been incredible
Those song choices wrecked me… ❤️
And my jaw dropped when I read that her bidder backed out. Unreal. What a beautiful girl and story!
Thank you for sharing
What an impact you make for the mustangs!
What a great little mare!
She's beautiful. Her Nickers are adorable 😍 I'm obsessed with Bays and Buckskins. Mustangs and Frisians are my favorite.
Ooo she is a very special mare, she must have been hard to let go. I got wet eyes when her new owner hugged her.
you are amazing.What a pleasure to watch. Thank you
I love how the training has evolved over time. Sam you do an amazing job with these horses. I'd love to have one. Congratulations on and with your continued success. These horses are so worth it!
You are a great lady and a great trainer. Love your videos. Thank you so much. ✌️
I hope the name Moscato means "beautiful", because this story IS.
Muito bom parabéns que Deus abençoe sempre
You are an amazing young lady Sam. I envy the connections you are able to make with these horses. Keep up the exceptional work.
