I got 3034, she will be coming home to me in Canada, but has to stay in the US for a year. I have found a boarder and someone to get her under saddle, and I am told she is a sweetheart and really smart! (you are right about costs!) We cannot wait to meet her! We named her Willow. ❤ She has shedded out to be a gorgeous palomino.
That's awesome! Congratulations!! It's a life-changing experience! When can we expect you'll bid again? haha jk but seriously, it is addicting. Congratulations on your pair - they look awesome! I especially love the dun!
Our farm isn't ready/I don't have the time for a mustang right now but I love these videos! I'm hoping about five years from now when my babies are all bigger I'll have the time. I am so in love with 2919. I hope she finds a home between now and when I'd be ready for her but I'm keeping her number just in case!
Hello we have actually had bought three of our horses off the online auction both being four-year-olds at the time three years ago I paid $185 for my grullo mare I paid $300 for my husband's black gelding and I paid $25 for our at the time was fifteen-year-old Garden devil's gelding then we adopted 125 dollar Burrell we went and bought another hundred and $25 for her tip challenge horse but we ended up keeping both of them. It just depends on who wants what horse. What HMA they are from. We are getting one more tip challenge burro fingers crossed 🤞. Till next time God Bless
I had a thought when you pointed out the pick up locations map. Coincidentally, I had just been looking at a U.S. drought map, and 33% of the total U.S. hay acreage is in a drought. What I realized, and it's a little hard to tell without an overlay map showing pick up locations and drought areas together, but it appears at least 3 and possibly 4 of the regions surrounding pick up locations have hay supply issues. My area, (Central Missouri), is in a severe drought. Our own yield was only 2/3rds of usual, and that seems better than what others in our area are reporting. If you can even find hay to buy, it's crazy expensive - about triple an average year. I was a little surprised at the number of good horses without a bid. Then again, I wonder if the scarcity of hay was an issue for a number of potential adopters? On the upside, very little of the western range the wild mustangs live on is affected by drought.
That can definitely be a factor. There are a lot of factors for sure. I remember seeing speculation a couple years ago when gas was really high - on how that might be influencing adopter's decisions as well.
Almost every horse on my favorite list had no bids. About half were listed from the previous auction. There are 3 bay geldings that I’m really hoping will still be offered next time. I should be ready to add a third mustang by the next IA/pickup dates. To be fair, most of the ones on my list look more anxious and may not appeal to the average horse person. Though that bay mare with the half white face is tempting lol
I got my boy from the blm. He's from sand wash basin he was a unknown 2.5year old. I've had him since January 20th and he's such a goofy loving boy. ❤ also to match his weird nonwild attitude his coat color is out of this world right now. He's got a real light buckskin over lay with a dorsal stripe down his back into his tail. His tail cracks me up cuz instead of matching his black mane He's got a blond tail with a black strip through it. ❤❤❤ I really hope he stays this color but only time will tell cuz I don't know anything about him.
The Basin Wild horses are much smaller averaging 12.3 -14.2 hands, than the Mustangs from Wyoming, Montana, and Oregon which average around 14.3 -16.0 hands, I wonder why? Maybe bloodline or type of grass.
I'm going to guess both? Genetics for sure, but also the harsh western range might have favored natural selection for a smaller horse. As I recall, BLM did add select horses, both mares and stallions, to a Utah HMA for both size and more color variation.
I remember that! It's crazy how much they vary! If I'm remembering correctly, the most I've seen on one was $18k 😵💫 Maybe it was 16k...whatever it was, was crazy!
@@TheProjectEquestrian SO bonkers! I have to keep telling myself that a horse’s value is whatever people want to pay for it, but man I can’t justify spending that much on a horse with no history and no training 😳
Can you give us an idea of what transportation cost are to have a mustang delivered? I know it would very but even a rough estimate would be helpful to newbies.
I’ve been seeing around $2.00-2.50/loaded mile, but haven’t watched too closely lately, so that might not be up to date. Perhaps others have some other insight or can answer that better. 😊
Great video! This is an early request, but would you put together an advent calendar for Christmas with products from your store and other products you like for equine?
You have to sign an agreement that you won’t sell the horse/horses for slaughter, however there is nothing preventing you from selling them once you have title and nothing saying that you have to make further owners agree to that. Federal law protects them from being sold directly 😂slaughter houses but once the horse crosses the border, all bets are off.
Don't count on ever getting the AIP money if you adopt. Plenty of excuses, though. Also, several of my mustangs were considerably older than listed. About a decade older... Makes things even more challenging.
I really don't like Mustang auctions because a lot of people will buy the hose for cheap, do no work with them keeping them for a year for the $1000 incentive and then dump them at a kill pen.
They are shipped free to the pick up sites, so you have to coordinate from there. If you don't have a truck/trailer, there are people who actually specialize in the shipment of mustangs,. They might charge a rate per loaded mile. For example, I've seen around $2-2.5/mile in the past.
the geldings are, but the mares are not. if they don't get sold they go on to the next auction (Most of these are going to North Carolina in august). after 3 or more auctions, they get put as Sales Authority, meaning their title transfers to the buyer immediately. If that fails they go to long-term holding which are large pastures leased from ranchers
One thing that is not usually mentioned is the adoption incentive program. While there are limitations and requirements, the BLM will reimburse or pay, depending how you look at it, $1000 for adopting an animal. It does take a year to be paid and you do have some specific requirements, but that is a great deal if you're adopting and planning to keep the horse. I'm sure some people are bidding up some of the horses with the thinking that they're getting $1000 so they can pay more since they're going to get that money...but to me too many put too much emphasis on color and not enough on confirmation...and I don't think that's just me because some awfully well built bays and sorrels get passed on while some not so well built paints, palaminos and other fancy color horses get all kinds of action. Whatever, it's their time and money and they can do what they want. In the end I'm just glad that these horses are getting a chance, and so are the people

I literally just checked this to see what the top price was!! Funny timing!
My favorite didn't get any bids: 2936. She's a taller 3-year-old black mare, with flashy little socks and movement.
Me and my wife got our first mustangs and we are so excited!! Mine is 2998 and she got 7965
That's awesome! Congratulations!! It's a life-changing experience! When can we expect you'll bid again? haha jk but seriously, it is addicting. Congratulations on your pair - they look awesome! I especially love the dun!
@@TheProjectEquestrian thank you! The plan is next year to get a couple more, we’ve got 4 kids and they all want their own! Lol
Ooh, I really like your wife's gelding. He looks like a smooth ride!
The next IA is July 31- Aug7 then September 4-11.

ohhhh! exciting! I hope that happens!!
There are paints in Oregon. Lots of paints. I am not sure what org they are associated with, but it would be interesting for you to go through them.

He sounds GORGEOUS!! lol I loved your description! CONGRATS on him! I'm so glad you got him despite him being unknown ❤️
@@TheProjectEquestrian thanks he's going to be a great horse

Your photo for the video was my favorite on the auction.
All horses like babies are beautiful.
Okay but there was an auction awhile ago with an untrained yearling gelding that went for $10k 😳
I remember that! It's crazy how much they vary! If I'm remembering correctly, the most I've seen on one was $18k 😵💫 Maybe it was 16k...whatever it was, was crazy!
@@TheProjectEquestrian SO bonkers! I have to keep telling myself that a horse’s value is whatever people want to pay for it, but man I can’t justify spending that much on a horse with no history and no training 😳
@@WildLilyHorsemanship same, anything over 10k would be a highly trained show horse in my area
@@WildLilyHorsemanship I've seen some unbelievable prices paid out for Chincoteague ponies at their roundup and sale. A lot of them go for thousands.

do they have any auctions in vermont???
I sincerely hope that NO horses went to slaughter!

I thought the same thing

I wish i could get the black moutain mustang that is online for July 2024
How many of these horses are being bought by the meat man?
Would you tell us more about shipping costs and how all that might work?
They are shipped free to the pick up sites, so you have to coordinate from there. If you don't have a truck/trailer, there are people who actually specialize in the shipment of mustangs,. They might charge a rate per loaded mile. For example, I've seen around $2-2.5/mile in the past.
Are these mustangs sterilized? What happen if they dont get sold?
the geldings are, but the mares are not. if they don't get sold they go on to the next auction (Most of these are going to North Carolina in august). after 3 or more auctions, they get put as Sales Authority, meaning their title transfers to the buyer immediately.

It has been 18 months since our AIP adoptions, but no money, just excuses....so don't count on that $1000.
you didnt say how much?
