My fave part was when you fell off laughing! Hahaha, but for real I am very excited about this new Mustang! Looking super forward to seeing how you approach training her/what her personality will be like! She was definitely also my favourite of the lots you showed. :)
Now that was one of my fave video's you have ever posted. The chemistry and trust between you two... amazing. Proof of what can happen to these wild creatures. Thank you, thank you, than you for spending the time and effort to film and post.
Great video, but by favorite part was the bloopers, lol! Thanks for taking time to answer all those questions and I can’t wait to see your videos with the new mustang🤗 Hope your week is going well 😉😊❤️
Awww this is such a great acc and I wish I could do what you do but I’m too young Edit: live the fall at the end. But I would’ve fallen off when getting ON
Lmao that fall at the end was gold! I love how you just love him even though he's being a bit of a dork! I have a LO mustang mare who is also 5 and man is she the best! Such a great mind and thinks through everything! She had a rough start at the TIP trainer but she bonded with me very quickly and I kept urging the trainer not to give up on her and at least get her to the point where I could lead her onto a trailer, everything else was something I could work on. We ended up taking her home and I love her to death. I wouldn't trust any other horse more than her and I've only had her for 6 months and riding her for 3 months. It's amazing the things they do for us! I'm hooked on mustangs now! Hopefully in the future after some healing I'll be able to compete at an EMM!
I learnt a lot more about the mustang makeover from this video, thank you!! And I was laughing the entire time at the bloopers- the fall at the end was so funny 😂 I love your videos so much!
I'm a 70yo upper level dressage rider. I love the mare you picked out. She looks sweet and looks like she has a lot of potential. I saw the black mare, on your video, that went for a high price and had the same thought that she would be a lovely dressage horse. I really, really enjoy watching your videos. Your a wonderful, kind and knowledgeable horse woman and the horse world needs a lot of people with your talent!!! I'll be looking forward to watching your new mare's progress!!
Thanks for answering my question about that black mare!! I SO agree w you she just looked tense! And your mare's energy is MUCH lower, but to me that is a good thing! Prolly why she's a lil tubby too-- not bothered by much means she spends more time eating/digesting. Ha!
Sorry to say, you were awesome, but Lynx stole the show! What a sweet boy! Great video...thanks for all the info...cant wait to see new horse begin her journey. You will be amazing yet again...yay!
Thank you very much! I don't know where I got the idea it was only 90 days that Mustang Makeover gave to train, so thank you! So fun to see you in non-training mode. Have a great day! Laural
I guess I shouldn't of said they're ALL 120 days... but all of the 'Extreme Mustang Makeovers' are, give or take a day or two. However, TIP challenges, which only require the horse to be shown in-hand, are sometimes only 90 days!
@@SamVanFleet Thank you again! I'm learning so much and enjoying it. I continue with Horsemanship classes in September but it will be one on one instead of a group which finished this past Monday. Laural
Thanks for answering the questions, some of the same ones I had wondered about too. This video is awesome lol. I was also wondering if you train mustangs for private clients?
Can’t tell you and lynx have a real connection. I hope my mare and I will once she arrives. I can’t wait 😊 Thank you for sharing. Stay safe everyone. God Bless
To add on I’ve been looking for a way to get an untrained horse to train and I’ve gone to countless rescues and done so much late night research and I really fell in love with the program and I think I’ve watched all the Mustang Makeovers on UA-cam in the span of 2 days
If I dare ask what was the bad experience you had from a mustang outside the regions that you prefer them being from. ? I think you are amazing 😉. Can’t wait to meet your new pick!!! Such the calm attitude!!
Jeannie I too would love to see what she has to say about it. I follow Clinton Anderson and my horses are trained with his method. I’m not as rough as he is though.
I found you today from your first Players choice video and I'm super excited to see how this all unfolds. Come competition time will you update on the of interest horses in your videos such as the 6200 one or the sorrel with the odd neck (if he competes that is.)
Shyla Good I don’t believe that chestnut is in the makeover, but if I see any updates on that big brown mare then maybe, but I would ask the trainer’s permission first
Thank you for this information, frankly I am not good at the English language well but I try hard to understand you, your followers from Morocco, welcome to Morocco
Thank you so much for this video! It must have taken you forever to do the editing. 😃. But it was worth whatever it took to get such a good video. The q & a was absolutely informative. I have just gotten interested in mustang makeovers and had (have) many questions still. Most of all, could you please define "tip" and "tipped out." I am not sure those terms are clear to me. (And...just as I was amazed at no "uhs," "ums," or "ahs,"... Wait for it... Yes, ONE. Almost instantly... Great job totally!!! 😁👍💓❣
I had plenty of "uhs" and "ums"... that's the power of editing LOL. I don't even mean to say them but they come out! Thank you so much though! TIP stands for trainer incentive program, and when I say "Tipped out" it means that I got the required training on a mustang (the TIP requirements, there's a handful of things the mustang needs to do in the program) and then adopted them out
I wasn't surprised you didn't answer my question because it wasn't a good one😂 When I saw your post for us to ask questions I freaked out and hurried up so I didnt have time to think But I love your channel and you are so beautiful and your horse is adorable❤❤❤❤
I'll be posting more info on all of that when it gets closer. Usually, the only thing you have to pay for is the Top 10 performance. Most of the other classes/events are free to watch!
Danielle Baker There were only a few over 15hh. Most mustangs are between 13.2-15.2hh (generally). Most aren’t very tall. My personally mustang, Lynx, is 14.1ish, and he’s just the perfect size! Lately a lot of people have been looking for shorter mustangs too. I’m also only 5’3”-5’4” so I don’t need a super tall one :)
I got lucky then. 5 year old Salt wells gelding, 15.3hh, 4 year old Divide Basin gelding 15.2hh, 3 year old Adobe town gelding 14.3hh and green mountain yearling 14hh already. I just got blessed I guess
Hi, do you train others for type of horses? I have a mare /filly that would be needing training in a year or two Andalucian. She is only 14 months. Thanks
Hi I have a question when are you putting your mustang for auction and how much are you putting for auction because if I am able to I would like to buy him if I am able to I am not sure if I will be able to buy him but if I am able to then I was thinking about buying him.
Yes! You can adopt from a TIP trainer, from a satellite adoption, or from an internet adoption. Check out the 'Mustang Heritage Foundation' or google 'Internet Mustang Adoption'
Okay so I’m currently trying to apply for next years extreme mustang makeover and it’s my first year. I’ve done my research on the BLM. I have so many questions still unanswered though. I plan to do this for 2 years. My second I want to keep the horse I train. Can I do that? I can find no where that I can. Please help me!
Not on Player's Choice mustangs- and the auction is over. However the public can bid on these mustangs at the makeover in January when they have 120 days of training on them!
Ok so I have a question that’s been on my mind for awhile. So let’s say you get accepted n such, pick up the horse, but fail to train it? What happens?
There's a few different options here. You can either keep the mustang and then adopt it out to someone else, keep the mustang and adopt it, or send the horse back to holding. But, I always ask other trainers for help or suggestions if I ever get stuck. The mustang community is very helpful so we all try to help each other out!
Lynx is such a lover boy and a bit of a jokester.
A real minx! 💓
He's a big dork!
My fave part was when you fell off laughing! Hahaha, but for real I am very excited about this new Mustang! Looking super forward to seeing how you approach training her/what her personality will be like! She was definitely also my favourite of the lots you showed. :)

Lol love this comment
😁❣👏💓
Apply for a youth mustang makeover! That's where I started!
Lmao that fall at the end was gold! I love how you just love him even though he's being a bit of a dork! I have a LO mustang mare who is also 5 and man is she the best!

I hope she gets some coverage to let us know how she actually does work out.
Hopefully she still has that movement, if that's what the person who won her was looking for, but I'm a little doubtful. I totally agree :-)
Love that you included bloopers! Super excited to see the new mustang
Sorry to say, you were awesome, but Lynx stole the show! What a sweet boy! Great video...thanks for all the info...cant wait to see new horse begin her journey. You will be amazing yet again...yay!

I loved your pick, Sam! Looking forward to seeing the training journey with this one
Thank you!
Omgosh, stay for the bloopers at the end, priceless!
Nice discussion of how you were going to get the horse
Lynx is my favorite of your horses! His personality is so goofy! Love love love when hes in your videos!
Can’t tell you and lynx have a real connection. I hope my mare and I will once she arrives. I can’t wait 😊 Thank you for sharing. Stay safe everyone. God Bless

You answered alot of questions. Bloopers were 😁🤪😉 too cute.. I think he likes you lol.. Thanks alot very informative..👍
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion... and your bloopers! 😆💕
i was literally thinking 5 seconds before you fell, 'how is she not falling off?... oh' 😂
I just love the bloopers! I have a question... How do you feel about Clinton Anderson's method's?
Jeannie I too would love to see what she has to say about it. I follow Clinton Anderson and my horses are trained with his method. I’m not as rough as he is though.
Lynx is hilarious
Really nice video! Good luck :D ❤️🐴
That fall at the end 😂
Yay! Thanks for answering my question! Also he is a very sassy horse when he cant get attention😂

Love your horse he’s gorgeous, love his coloring.
Such an awesome horse you two are goofs but it's nice to see people have fun with their horse
"Fat and happy" awesome 👌😂
Love the out takes. 🤣
Lmao you fr fell off him that’s so me 😂
Thoughts on the onaqui hma in Utah?
Honestly, I have no experience with any from there! I can ask around though, I'm sure one of my friends has had one from there
That last clip!! 😂😂😂
I have just found your videos and i love it . you got a big fat sub from me !
Informative and fun. Excellent!
Lynx be like "haha, that's what you get for saying I look horrible and weird".

Hey! Sorry- I actually only answered about half of the questions. I didn't want the video to get too long! Sorry!
@@SamVanFleet your totally fine❤ I was just joking I dont take it in a rude way
I would love to have a mustang a gelding preferably and lean to train western and trail riding. 16 h h buckskin tan and black.
Dude Lynx looks so healthy
😂 love your ending
excellent video
Lynx is so cute😍😍😍
❤️❤️
Hi Sam!
I’d like to come see the competition in January. Any idea what the tickets will cost and what time of day the competitions will be? Ok
I'll be posting more info on all of that when it gets closer. Usually, the only thing you have to pay for is the Top 10 performance. Most of the other classes/events are free to watch!
Is Lynx a classic gray? His mane looks like its going to stay dark/black that would be so awesome 😀
Habakimi He was a buckskin when I got him, so I have no idea 😂
Why did you pick a short horse? To me size isnt a big deal, however the adaptability is more for horses 15hh and above.
Danielle Baker There were only a few over 15hh. Most mustangs are between 13.2-15.2hh (generally). Most aren’t very tall. My personally mustang, Lynx, is 14.1ish, and he’s just the perfect size!

I got lucky then. 5 year old Salt wells gelding, 15.3hh, 4 year old Divide Basin gelding 15.2hh, 3 year old Adobe town gelding 14.3hh and green mountain yearling 14hh already. I just got blessed I guess
I don't worry as much about height as I do build.
It's funny to see how he is so jealous of your attention. OMG, how that horse loves you!
Hi, do you train others for type of horses? I have a mare /filly that would be needing training in a year or two Andalucian. She is only 14 months. Thanks
Lynx is a good looking boy. How tall is he?
Mark Dunlap I’d have to stick him, but I think about 14.1hh or 14.2hh!
Thank you for answering my question!!!!
Uploads Lynx a big bag O Horse treats.. He mad this a riot.
might be a weird question but what coat colour is Lynx? He's beautiful
Alisa Baxter Grey

Hi I have a question when are you putting your mustang for auction and how much are you putting for auction because if I am able to I would like to buy him if I am able to I am not sure if I will be able to buy him but if I am able to then I was thinking about buying him.
❤❤
I live in Oklahoma!!!!
will you buy here maybe
Is there anyway to adopt a mustang without competing in the mustang makeover or the TIP challenge, if so, how?
Yes! You can adopt from a TIP trainer, from a satellite adoption, or from an internet adoption. Check out the 'Mustang Heritage Foundation' or google 'Internet Mustang Adoption'
@@SamVanFleet thank u so much
What state u live in?? #love your channel
Leona Nel Florida :)
Are there mustang makeovers for Pacific breed?
What is a tip horse
I was wondering if you have to pay for a mustang in youth division if it’s not players chose. Also can you keep the horse.
No, you adopt the youth horses for $125 you don't need to bid on them
@@SamVanFleet thank you!
Nice dismount

Message me your questions on Instagram
hi from israel i love your work thank you
oooh is he called Lynx?! That's what my cat is called ♥
Yes! That's my boy's name :)
Is there a link available to view what the other horses sold for?
I don't believe so. I have a list from one of my friends keeping track during the auction, but no public list.
How can you part ways with Lynx then? I couldn't do it, he's adorable!
He's the only one I kept
Do you ever train other peoples Mustangs? I mean from start to finish?
Yes
Is the public allowed to go and bid as well? Im interested.
Not on Player's Choice mustangs- and the auction is over. However the public can bid on these mustangs at the makeover in January when they have 120 days of training on them!

Is Lynx yours, or are you training him for a makeover? He is so cute!
He was my 2016 youth makeover mustang! But he's mine now :-)
Lucky! 😉
Are you able to keep any of these horses if you choose?
If I bid on them to keep them at the end yes. I am not able to keep them though, I already have 3 horses
@@SamVanFleet Thank you for replying! I am now looking into get one.
Are you aloud to buy the Mustang that you trained? After the 120 days?
Megan Ester Yes, you can bid on n your own mustang in the auction
Did any of the mustangs have problems with getting on and off the trailer?
Savannah Which mustangs?
can you bid on a mustang then just keep it? do you have to enter it into a mustang makeover? just wondering🙂
You could, you would have to drop out of the makeover. You may as well just do a regular internet adoption if you don't want to compete
Sam VanFleet thank you!
❤👌😃 love that video ......beautiful ....Lynx loves you really deep 😍
Really informativ.
Is the boy behind you (nee to your channel so don't know his name) a Bonanza Stang? Since you said his herd doesn't exsist anymore
Nope! He's from outside of an HMA- Wood Hills, Nevada
What color is he??
LMAO the bloopers
I live in Oklahoma :D
What is the pool?
It just means that the mustangs that don't get bids in the initial auction are available for a trainer to get for the EMM for $125 instead of bidding
