- Hey y'all! I had to break day one into two videos... I didn't want them to get too long! In this video it's a basic day one working on approach, pressure and release, first touches, and a few other things! I'll have a video out soon explaining why I chose this mare and more information on her! I'll hopefully have part two out soon, I can't wait to share with you all!

Re-occurring Horses (Personal + Current Training)
Lynx- 7yo 14.2hh grey gelding BLM Mustang (Wood Hills NV)
Calliope- 16yo 16hh pinto mare Draft X (PMU foal) - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
That mare is so beautiful and has such a calmness about her. I feel like her name should be something like Whisper.
I actually like that a lot
I agree about the tranquility about her. And I think Whisper would be a great name.
Oh I love this. I was trying to think of a name and couldn't find the right word. You nailed it! She's kind of a magical looking thing, and she's got something about her, when you look at her eyes.
Fantisticaly captured.
Whispers a cute name I like it
She has a cleaner grey coat than 90% of the greys at my barn xD
Pizza Hut give me free pizza-
not even can I out pizza the hut u-u
Looks like she is going to be a fast learner.
She's a nice bodied mare with a cute face and a kind eye.
Gonna make someone real happy.
She looks like a smart... strong ..solid mare!! I Can't wait to see her talents unfold as you work with her.💞
Good job. Beautiful horse.
She is really gorgeous..looks like Spanish blood runs through her veins. Looking forward to seeing her progress with you.❤️
Man, I really like her. She seems like such a smart mare.
She's a beauty. Glad you picked her! She seems like a sweetheart
She’s smart and willing and will be lovely with grooming... great start
She has the most kind face and eyes! I cannot wait to see her progress. She also seems pretty intelligent.
OH, WHISPER IS A GOOD ONE FOR HER. IT REALLY FITS!! SHE IS SPECIAL, YOU CAN JUST FEEL IT!!
Great Day One! I love the videos early on in the training process, they’re super entertaining and educational as someone who is interested in horse training and looking to get into training horses! I love how you explain everything so clearly! ❤️
I think she's put together really well. She's intelligent and has a kind eye. I really like her.
I love this mare! She looks very smart, willing, and curious. I can’t wait to watch your journeys together 🤗😁
i liked how when you first got her, she was the one that kept her eye on you. The other horse was mostly hiding. She does look curious and seems to have a level head on her.
Hi Sam, I am from Germany , we dont have wild Mustangs here, so its very interesting for me how you work with them. This one is really pretty, very strong and intelligent. Her eyes are clear and friendly, I am sure you can make a queen out of her!
Love her! Built like a brick house
It's so special to be able to see these first interactions. Great video!
You picked a lovely mare, Sam. I really love the expression in her eyes. There's nothing mean to see. A bit of confusion, but also curiosity and the will of wanting to trust you right from the start. She also has good conformation points and will probably make it easy to train her under saddle. Especially with such a sensitive rider like you are. Can't wait to follow her path into a hopefully bright future!
She seems like she's really smart and has a head for learning. I'm looking forward to watching how she comes along.
I just loved watching you work with her.
I just got my first horse a week ago and am starting training. Your videos along with Stacey Westfall's Jac series have been so informational and have taught me sooooo much. I hope to train him some liberty eventually and you have been really inspiring. Thanks for all of the hard work you put into your videos, I hope you never stop making them.
I love Stacy Westfall too! Stacy’s husband Jesse is the horse trainer at my college and I have two classes with him.
Really like this mare! Easy on the eyes and she "thinks". Being able to wrap her mind around her new World is a real plus. Looking forward to seeing bloom with her future "education"!
this mare seems incredibly intelligent and kind. she actually looks like she wants to get to know more about you. she has a really nice and warm energy about her, very excited to see her journey with you ❤
Excellent pick, shes a gorgeous mare & very smart, im looking forward to see more of her training. From day one to riding. Thank you for the video.
She is so beautiful and it's amazing to me how well you can read her body language and manipulate her movement with yours.
I find it so cute how she blinks a lot after you pet her face and then step away. It's like she can't believe what's happening 😄
Impressed by how much you were able to accomplish on day one.
Lovely smart little mare.
Shes gorgeous. Love her kind eyes💗 The name Avalon came to me, first seeing her, like a horse that came out of the mists, as in the Mists of Avalon, the book by Marion Bradley (?). I know its early for the name game but I figured I'd throw that one at ya💖🤷♀️🧚♀️🍃🐎
I like Avalon, too.
I’ve never been this early! Absolutely stoked to see this beautiful gal’s progress❤️! I know you’ll do right by her.
This was amazing! Also right before this I was thinking, what are the comments that get all the likes like? Sam you are amazing and keep going!
Looks like she will make your job really easy , she seems real smart and pretty laid back . But let's face facts here Sam you always make this work look so easy , your amazing with horses .
She is beautiful. Excited to see more of her personality.
She looks nice. Can't wait to see her journey.
Really like her. Her attitude is solid and smart
I don't mean to sound horrible but I'm so glad to find a person riding and training mustangs English style, I've always thought they'd be such a nice breed for the English discipline but I've never actually seen anyone do it.
Wish I found these videos months after you got her so I could binge watch her progress 😭
I liked her look and glad you brought her home.
Seems pretty promising so far! Definitely big on the freeze reaction, but I’m sure she’ll grow out of that more and more. Thank you for putting so much work into your videos! I love your channel so much and you are an amazing trainer!!
Thank you for sharing your life. Thank you for sharing your journey with this sweet, smart mare.
Love the name idea of Whisper as another comment suggested. Such a beauty!
excited to watch!! I just adopted a white river mare last weekend and she is very similar I have worked with her an insane amount and just got first touches today 😬... shes a lot like roulette but has a little more flight and slightly less fight anywayzzz i hope yours is a little less flighty then mine for a makeover:)
She seems to be super intelligent. This is going to be fun!
Beautiful mare! Absolutely love her eyes. Excited to see her journey!
Yes! Soo ready for this! What a beautiful mare! And so smart! Great job as always Sam!
This mare has a very nice build. Strong and solid.
Always looking forward to these type of videos.
Great progress , its amazing to watch you work !!
Yay soooo ready for another adventure you inspire me so mitch Sam
Very excited to see her progress! Great video. Thanks!
She is a really nice looking mare. Have fun with her. She seems very calm for a mustang!
Happy Easter Sam! Thank you for posting a video for us. I love your horseome videos and can not wait for how you and her develop your relationship together!
Awesome day one!! I love your videos and just by watching your techniques I feel my over all horsemanship has improved. Thank you!!
Great first day. Thanks for sharing these steps with your community.
Love her Sam! She's adorable, probably my favorite so far lol
Wow... she seems like a VERY quick learner and dare I say moody morning mare 😂
I feel like she will be quite an interesting mare to tame/train and I am really looking forward to your journey with her 🤗
Sam, you are great and your work with this horse is amazing. Can't wait to see more.
Nicely done. Building trust and confidence are key. I love your calm consistent approach.
Lovely intelligent level headed mare.
So excited for this!😁
Love that she really thinks alot. Love her build too, excited to see more of her!
Wow impressive start! Will be fun to see how she will do. Love it
You picked well Sam. I am so excited for both of you
She's kind of magical. There's something special about her. I'm so excited to see her journey with you!
She’s a beauty with beauty face. Can’t wait to see here progress as u always do such a great job with these mustangs❤️
She seems really smart and very willing to learn. I think she’s going to be a fun one! Excited to see her journey!
So excited to be back on another mustang journey with you!! She looks like such a sweet mare
Beautiful, a fast learner, and strong. I like her a lot!! Your going to do great things with this mare!! ❤
Excellent mare! I think she is going to do great things! Congrats!
Super intelligent gal. Already showing so much potential! Love from California⛰🌲☀️💙
She's a smart mare! She is going to be stellar!
This is so incredible!! I love this.
Great first day. That’s a super sweet mare. She is very smart. You have a winner there. Can’t wait for the next video 😁
Love love love this vid, her and you. Can’t wait to hear what you will name her👍☝️👊🏻
What a great pick. Nice job!
2nd Time in early in the same day for the same youtuber? Enjoy this rare coicedence me. I'm so excited to watch her grow!!
She is the cutest!! Good job on day 1!!
Im glad you got this one she’s ready she inquisitive and looks like she wants to learn you can tell she have a lot to give!
Really cool to see the freeze vs flight at this stage. I remember watching Snooze. Freezing comes with its own challeneges so this is awesome to see.
This mare seems to pretty expressive with her licking and chewing, blinking and ear flicking. Cant wait to see her journey!
This is a genuine spectacular horse right there!!!
She's beautiful! Soooooooo happy you are back!
You are fantastic. What a skill you have. It is amazing to watch you work. Can't wait to watch the progress.✌
I am in love with this mare. I think you picked well and honestly I am stoked to see her journey! I love all the videos you post. I have my own DG mare and she should drop a foal any day now. She has been coming along nicely as I have her with someone to start her as I do not have my house ready for a wild one( it will be soon though as I want to try my hand at a makeover at least once in my life). I love all you do and I can't wait to watch more. 😍
you're a great horseman . this was awesome to watch
I am so excited that you chose this mare! She was my favorite of the two you were interested in, and I am really excited to see if the process changes at all given that she is nine years old. She is so beautiful and seems to have a really good mind!
I can’t wait to watch more of this journey!!!!
She seem very level headed. I love her build and looks. Love your approach and your videos. It is great to see you and Camille together.
She looks like a really sweet mare . These types of horses are my fav. Because they want to please , only downfall is they can mentally shut down if to much pressure an explode if u don’t keep in tune with them
Your approach is so wonderful for her. I really can't wait to watch this little mare's personality develop. She seems surprisingly calm, but like you said, it's hard to tell if she's internalizing the pressure and freezing or if she's cool as a cucumber. Thanks for the share! She's absolutely gorgeous.
She is such a thinker. I really believe her age is beneficial to her. I believe you said she was 9? She will give prospective adopters something to think about. Most want the younger horses. Once she figures things out, you will have another winner. Love her conformation and movement.
Liked this first session, keep up the good work 👍
You will do well with her. She reminds me of my Devil's Garden mare. So smart, so much heart and try. I am so glad to see you and Camille working together ❤ its grea for ALL mustangs and the conservation movement. I only wish I was your age again so I could do it for a lifetime. Best of luck to you both!
She is really nicely put together, I think she would look so cute in dressage tack! She seems really sensible and smart, I am excited to see you guys work together.
Such a pretty girl! Found you through Camilles most recent video, can’t wait to watch you both train these lovely horses.
I love her!!! She looks really nice!!!! I think she will make a great EMM horse, as well as just an all around horse. Nice job picking her! And camille new it!!!
I can't wait for the rest of her vids. She's pretty interesting in her responses. Please go into some detail with her. 👍
Wow this mare is gorgeous - I love her SO much!
I think you got another good EMM mustang ,Sam. Of course, you do a great job with all of them. Take care. Looking forward to seeing the other videos when you post them
She’s so cute!!! I love her chonky build!!
I can't wait to see how she cleans up!!!
I like her! I think she seams really smart. Reminds me of one of my fav lesson horses.
