Anyone else think of “get offa my back and into the game” when they watch these videos 😂
It’s been playing in my head the entire video! 😂
Not until I read you comment. Now the song is stuck in my head.
Hallo🌺🌹🌹 Aarika I want👄💖 to💋❤💖 love❤ with💖❤ you😘❤👩🎤 baby🔥🔥🔥🔥 fantastic
I definitely do lol
me i love that movie
This is a great example of gentle communication with the horse.
He's a very lucky horse, with a bright future.
He's a keeper. Smart and quiet
Can a trainer adopt after EMM?
@@dragonrider712 yes!
Love how he wobbles his ears all around when you stroke him. Definitely thinking it over!...I’ve been following you & Sam for a while now, and I can really see how much better it is to work without food rewards. When I see someone less experienced bribing a new mustang with treats it’s obvious the bond doesn’t develop as well.
excellent observation!
Honestly I think it’s better for less experience to work with food rewards ( if they know how to use it ) these two girls have worked with a lot of mustangs and they know what to do and when. Also I’ve seen sam use food rewards when first gentling a horse and you can see cat using it all the time for tricks and such. If you look at mustang Maddy she uses positive reinforcement and has an AMAZING bond! To me ( idk if this is correct) but cat doesn’t use a lot of treats because she has a deadline. Usually horses at FIRST take a little bit longer if you are doing primarily positive reinforcement. I highly suggest you look up R+. I use to think I had a bond with my horse but once I started to use positive reinforcement we were inseparable!
Food should be a reward not a bribe. Only get the food after tge desired behaviour
You’re so sweet with him. He has been through so much trauma being rounded up taken from his herd mates and all the unnatural clanking metal sounds at the corrals and you are showing him that you can provide soothing with your taking pressure off and also rubbing him.
Thank you

Hi, I would like to adopt 2 or 3 horses
What do I need to do?
The great advantage you have is that you raised and trained all those other mustangs from the ground and got to learn all those little nuances these horses give off that others may miss because they need to push a little harder to get on their backs. Fun to watch and learn from your methods.
Just found your channel, this is so intriguing to me and my 6yo daughter loves horses as well.
Looking forward to more! Thank you for sharing.
Nice to meet you Stitch!
I’ve just found this channel as well, and I’m exited to see more of this guys progress! 😍
he is so nice! love his looks and how he reacts in the video
???
Just got my first horse after working with them for a few years. I’ve come across green horses and foals/youngsters but have all been handled from day 1. My yearling has basically been wild in a herd with both his parents and half siblings until transport to us - definitely “tamer” than a mustang but still a learning curve for me. Revisiting your videos on this guy after I first watched them a year ago is so helpful - was playing around with your pressure release method today and got my first touch and scratch on him (36h after arrival). Hoping to get a head collar on and leading within the week but taking it slow as I know I don’t have the same experience! Just wanted to say thank you as I’d definitely be a bit lost if I hadn’t found this video in the back of my mind.
He's going to be a delight to work with!
When you are trying to make first touches, do you talk to the horse? Or are you quiet? I just discovered your videos and really really appreciate all the explaining you do. I have a lifelong dream of having my own experience with a wild mustang. Before you got a wild horse did you study natural horsemanship? Or did you already have a background working with horses? Thank you again for making these videos.
I do talk to them! With my voiceovers, I have to quiet the background so you can't hear it.
I rode hunter jumper horses for 10 years before I gentled my first mustang, the most I had done is ridden a few green horses and helped develop them. My first training experience was with a wild mustang.
Thank you for the support!
Great job on this little gem!👍😍 Guess we'll call you Lilo from now on😉
I've always been interested in animals
Learning their body language to understand their moods and need is fascinating to me
Of course, I've only ever interacted with pets like dogs, cats and birds, so it's fascinating watching you interacting, explaining and reading his moves.
You are amazing! This video is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Your description of what was being done and why were spot on. Congratulations on your future with Stitch...this looks very promising. Do you ever use verbal commands? I couldn’t really tell from this video. Looking forward to viewing your progress!
Thanks for the education...can’t wait for next one.❤️
Thank you so much!
Yes I do use verbal queues for my horses as well as talking to them while working them.
One thing when you hold a rope that's attached to a horse: gloves. Friend of mine had the whole inside of her hand shredded by her horse when he bolted on her unsuspectedly while leading him.
Beautifully done, thank you for being slow and gentle and listening to what he wants
*coming from a place of concern...nothing else* wonder if its just his feet but he seems low in the fetlock joints all the way around....you really see it where you take the number off...wonder if it's just his feet or the angle maybe😯he's such a smart standoffish guy...once he finds his person it will be a huge bond! good luck with him!!!
He was a bit low in his pasterns at certain moments but once he was trimmed by a farrier it corrected itself.
Love your style of video and the way you explain what you're doing.
Excited to follow your journey with this guy. 😊
He is way to calm! My mare has climbed out many times with just a look at her!
Great video thank you for loving horses they are one of the most loving animals I love horses my self keep up the great job blessings for Chicago
Yay I’ve been waiting for this video since the other one🥰🥰❤️ can’t wait for more to come absolutely love your channel😌
I dream of training my own mustang one day.
You are so good with him 👏👏🐎🐎💕💕
i love your demeanor with Stitch. he will do awesome.
Your voice is so calm and soothing. I may listen to this video the next time I have a hard time getting to sleep. Best of luck with Stitch. I’m sure you’ll do great.
AAAAAAAAAA FINALLY! im new to this channel so i really want a new vid lol
im learing so much!, i think its great your teaching people how you work with wild horses in a nice a quite way!
OMG YAY TY MY PRAYERS WORKED
Love this guy, looking forward to seeing your progress 💕🦄💕
Hello Stitch... I look forward to seeing you in the future ...
He's cute,loving, and lucky! He is lucky to have someone pick him out!😁
He is a special horse
Hey Cat! I just wanted to say your work is so inspiring. I want to be like you! I want to train mustangs and do mustang makeovers. You are an inspiration. My old dog, his name was Beau to. He passed away though. I’m glad him memory lives on with that mustang. You are such an inspiration and so are all your horses. I am one of your biggest fan. Thank you for all you have done. 🐴
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
I’m sorry about your Beau!
@@CZMustangs No problem! One thing. Can you tell me where the show will be hosted this year? 🐴 Love your videos! Thank you for responding!
What a cute smart mustang! 🙂
Love his name!
When you are going up to touch them are you talking to them in a soft voice or just silent?
I’ve been wondering that too.
I use a soft voice to talk to them
Bruh
@@leahking9021 hm? What are u saying “bruh” to
U
Welcome Stitch
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
He’s such a cutie! 😍
I really wish it was possible to adopt one of these horses, but I’m from Sweden and I’m sure the move would be too traumatic for them
Mustang is wondering where all this mud and cold misty weather came from. Paisley desert to Missouri, huge difference.
Mud mud glorious mud lol
I love this video. The progress is amazing. I have a question…Are you talking to him throughout this process? If so, what are you saying to him? And if not, why?
this may be a dumb question but can you adopt a mustang and not compete in the challenges?
*He’s a handsome guy.*
Bro what
@@leahking9021 the horse is a handsome guy
Um yeah ok?
@@leahking9021 it’s just a comment, there’s no need to get all rude about it.
Not sure what i said was rude
Aww really cool how built trust
Interesting. I'm working with a QH Palo mare 20+ yrs old. An ex rodeo mount that was given up to someone else when his money and luck ran out following the circuit from Texas. The current owner got her from the guy who bought her from the Texan. This mare is a horse who as put succinctly from the movie Horsewhisperer is one with lots of people problems. Fear aggressive, food aggressive, always on alert. In other words an abuse case. As I have described her: a bomb with a smoldering lit short fuse. There are times when she can be very sweet and just as fast her hooves are flying in all directions. I've ridden her several times and is great under saddle. To me she will be along term project to show her I'm not like her previous 5 owners. Between owners 1 and 5 she was really screwed up. If nothing else I'll give her a soft place to fall.
He looks like a sweet boy with a good mind.
Suzannah Hi hallo🌹🌹🌺🌹🌹
I'm a newbie here but fascinated. Are you talking to him as you're gentling him?
Yes, definitely! I try to talk in a low calming voice to them as I gentle them, my video doesn’t pick it up, but I do the voiceovers anyways!
Very interesting
love your channel
I love these videos. He is such a good boy!
Love from india ❤️ best of luck for further journey 👍
Kind of random, but my gelding has been really strong lately when I’m taking him in and out off the pasture. He will start trotting and walk really fast, this morning it got so bad that he started cantering and I lost him. I used so much time getting him back into his pasture and ended up being late to my zoom class. Any tips or ideas are appreciated!!
Take him into the roundpen etc and go over the basics in leading again. If he walks when you dont want him to, make him go backwards to the place where he should have stopped, most horses really dislike going backwards. Just train starting, stopping and when neccessary going back. Make him respect your personal bubble by flicking the lead where its attached to the halter when he tries to muscle past you (not hard, just so you startle him out of that "gogogo" mindset). Use the end of your lead to flick his chest/wave in front of him if he doesnt want to back up (again, not hard, just make him respect your space). It would be good if he got to the place where, if you back up towards him, he also backs up to keep the distance. When that goes well, start training on the pasture where he might get excited because youre presumeably getting him out for food etc. Dont give in just because its quicker, make him go back and forth until he goes at your speed, even if it takes 10 mins longer every day. Hope you two figure it out :)
Me saying good boy through the phone
If he starts eating left shoes... you are in trouble. :) see who gets that one.
???
@@leahking9021 In Lilo and Stitch, Stitch has a bad habit of eating everyone left shoe... It was a great cartoon and the movie is well worth watching.
ok thanks😄
Fantastic first day in the muck!!! Am curious (I’m from California, we don’t get rain like u get) have you ever had first day training while the pen is super muddy other than with this one? Cuz he was super chill.
Question 2. Do you use calming speech and clicks right from the start? I’ve found that using “Constant” talk, sounds, clicks both calms and keeps the animals attention and curiosity. It works with dogs as well.
Btw, am curious, where did the chestnut gelding in the pen of eight shown right before you brought your boy home rank? He would have been my choice, based on what I believe will be superior athletic agility and overall balance of head to tail, over the other 7). Someone you know select the chestnut? And, what one thing, made you want this guy. Small head, short bodied, great for polo ponies, but, could be lacking in endurance. Would love to get your thoughts to these questions.
Other than that, you had a Great first day with your new friend.
I look forward to seeing the progress of your horse and all the others adopted, and Can’t wait for the Competition in 99 days! You face some stiff competition as there are other very talented trainers doing wonderful work with these beautiful animals!!!! Best of luck!!
Karl from Cali.
He really looks like he’s handling this quite well. 👍 give him a carrot for me.
Nobody:
Clinton Anderson: Immediately starts hitting the horse
I can't understand everything (I'm French) , but very nice video, thank you ! What is the size of your round pen ?
This might be a weird or dumb question. But do you stick with these techniques even with a trained horse? For instance the relieving of pressure if they pull away?
Hello I'm from INDONESIA
He’s looking nice already. Is this the virtual Kentucky EMM ?
Yes
Sukses kedepannya sis...
Horse: "Why tf is this hooman drag a**ing around about fixing this darn bridle!?"
Maybe it would be easier if you would have ask him to follow you first. I think the pressure of the pulling rope doesn’t make any sense for him. Yeah but probably im wrong.
can you still do it this way if you don't put a halter on?
Do you talk to the horse while you're working with him?
Hello, I´m from Germany, at first , sorry for my english. My question, do you talk with it, when you start to contakt it?
Yes I do
I LIKE DID VIDEOS CAT 👍👍👍✨
Why are there so many mustangs waiting for adaption?
They are taken from the wild by the government to make room for domestic livestock, and they are put in holding pens where most mustangs have to live out the rest of their lives if they don’t get adopted :( sad.
Because BLM hasn't figured out that they can do simple vasectomies on the dominant stallion, castrate the colts, and not have this population increase. Much cheaper than rounding the entire herd up, transporting it, and then keeping it up at a huge expense. Until, eventually, someone adopts them, one by one. Thus breaking up all herd dynamics.
I am learning how to train a baby horse right now. Do you have any tips?
You mean a foal
Get a trainer.
what a cute boy
What do you feed your mustangs besides hay??
I have a question, why is the lead rope so long, he can easily step in it and get strangled. How do you prevent him from hurting himself?
I’ve seen this done deliberately do when they step on the rope they experience pressure and figure out release on their own. Makes learning to tie go much better!
Oh, well my horse stept in the lead rope last time and it tied around his leg, had to cut it off
@@SM-dn7hk Ouch!
@@jaykb6587 definitely! Luckily he allowed me to help him
Do you get to keep them afterwards? or are you just helping gentle them so they are adoptable for someone else?
They usually sell them.
Do you talk to them when gaining trust?
Being English, it's really weird to see long boots under jean 😂😂
Do you use your voice around him while you are doing this?
Yes:-)
Does this trick works on introverts too?
hi , Have you ever had one that is afraid of the rope dragging ? If so, what did you do ?
They get used to it very quickly
Does it cost you money to buy him like other horses?
And what happens to them afterwards?
Do u have any videos of stitch on the first & second week?
Week One just uploaded a few days ago and week two is on its ways
@@CZMustangs ok thank you so much, your an amazing trainer.
First!
Isn’t the pressure and release philosophy negative reinforcement?
Yeah but I’m not sure why it has such a bad connotation. We do it all the time in our own lives. Actions have positive or negative consequences.
@@hannahstolzer2085 Mainly because it is scientifically proven to not be as effective. You cannot anthropomorphize because we don’t process things the same.
Negative reinforcement is not negative as in "bad". It is negative as in "subtraction". You are subtracting the pressure to communicate to the horse that he did the right thing so that he can relax and learn how to get release from the pressure the next time you ask. Everyone uses both positive and negative reinforcement whether they think they do or not.
@@tarasweeney9242 thank you for putting it into words. My entire response was about to be... have you ever seen horses interact with each other? 😅
do you use your mustangs for jumping ?
Yes some of them!
How long do u wait u til gelding them
They are gelded by the BLM when they are rounded up, so it would have been several months ago or longer.
@Lazy Gardens ohhh
@Lazy Gardens thank you
How old do you think he is
He’s 4
@@CZMustangs ok thanks 🥰
I don't get why people take wild horses out from the wind and keep them in a pen until someone will come ad take them
✌😍
Love the name, seems to suit him well. Btw maybe try speeding some parts up? It's a lot of repetitive work so once you make the comment you want, just speed the rest of the same exercise up until you want to comment on something else, that would shorten the video considerably :)
I’ve gone back and fourth between speeding stuff up or cutting repetition out, and people always ask me just to keep it all in lol! So it’s a bit of a weird topic!
As my trainer used to say to me, "It's like watching paint dry." If you want to see the whole thing, it cannot be sped up. I watch to pick up tips in working with horses. Watching the slow work helps, not hinders, my understanding.
Poor horse being taken from the wild and leaving his family with not saying good bye he will never see them again and that is awful 😢 but he has a great trainer 😜
It’s sad what the BLM is doing to the mustang. There is plenty of land for the mustang but the cattle n ranchers are taking it over. The BLM gets money n kickbacks for the grazing leases from the ranchers. It’s all about the money.
Mustangs are an invasive species that the land cannot possible support if their wild population grows too large. When they grow too large, the wild mustangs are in extreme danger of dying horribly from lack of resources. The mustang roundups are a necessary part of managing their population and actually helping them survive.
@@missmay713 While true, they are not a recent invasive species. They were here for a very long time, and alot of their lands ARE being taken away for grazing use, but yes, the populations do need our help. Especially the Nevada horses. It is not unheard of for them to starve or die of dehydration, but WE pushed them to that territory. Its important that the govt help these horses, as long as you also recognize the govt is part of the problem
