I've never ever ever ever ever seen patience, skill, know-how, and sensitivity applied this way with a horse. It's mind blowing. I love so many of the name suggestions here, better than one I put forward earlier, but now think, given how lucky this guy is to be with you, that his name should reflect both his Spanish heritage and great luck: Fortuna or Fortuno for a male? No habla ...
I really want to commend you on making it a very strong point that positive reinforcement is better than pushing a horse to just be okay with us. TEACHING a horse to be okay US, really shows who you are a person and it shows you really have a heart for these animals. Love your channel!!
He looks like a Luz to me! It means light 😊 excellent job on the first haltering! You let him know he had a choice and he continued to choose to hang out with you and eat.
It actually shows her time and dedication. Other trainers on UA-cam refuse to put in the time to achieve this. What she has achieved in two days should be the norm.
His personality is also a huge help, I've seen really good trainers on here who took a little longer because the horse simply wasn't ready yet, some just take more time and they also tend to be older. This guy actually seems really easy, he's very trusting and only three years old.
@@katiek.8808 So if the horse is extremely reactive and skittish and like seven years old and its trainer has been training horses on a five star level for 20+ years and can't get a halter on in the first few days it's her fault? I am speaking of someone specific here. Horses are all different with different personalities, you aren't going to be able to get a halter on within the first few days on all horses, some are so reactive and fearful you can't even touch them for the first two weeks.
@109367 yes, that is not a 5 star level trainer that is a con man. I’m sorry to break it to you, but that is the biggest red flag ever. It is absolutely the humans fault always. This is what is wrong with the horse world. Quite frankly if anyone has been doing this for 20 years and can’t get a halter on a horse within 3-4 days they are doing something very wrong. 5 star trainers get a halter on in 2 days tops. I hope you are not giving that person money. If you are stop and find someone different. I can’t believe that is acceptable to you.
He’s so sweet. Reminds me so much of my youngster, she’s going to be 3 in June and was nigh on feral when she was weaned and arrived ‘home’ yet she’s the sweetest and most loving filly I’ve ever met. Very affectionate and licky. ❤️ He’s a sweetheart.
Absolutely mesmerizing. I just can’t look away. You are the most patient person I have ever seen. Evelyn is a very blessed child to have you for her mom.
I’ve seen halters put on by the handlers in a stall at the mustang station. Obviously the horse throws itself around the confined pen, inexperienced people picking up a horse don’t know there’s this way and are worried that without a halter at the station they won’t be able to get the horse vet treatment until days of work at home. So this is a very good demonstration.
Right there at the end: he really leaned into you, enjoying the stroking of your hand. The look in his eyes changed. You handle your horses just how I handle animals, so nice to watch.
a lot of baby steps lead to giant strides.You do this well. I take the halter off every time i'm done for the day and put on again at the start of each day, in two or three days it's no longer an issue. I do not leave halters on my horses all the time,if it catches on something they can get hurt.
Oh this is a good idea! I'm not sure it'll work for my guy since he's really high flighty! But it's worth a shot. I don't get to work him everyday because I board him and by the time I get there it's really dark. So most of the stuff I do is on weekends. You're doing a really good job with your guy!
What a difference in 2 days! Love the snuffles! I was getting hay from a man who has a big set up and ships most of his hay to Florida from TN. Unfortunately he sprays all his hay with the inoculants/preservatives and the heaviness of the spray varies and my horses and I don't like the smell. It's supposed to be safe, but some farmer's spray hay that is sure to mold and you end up with green, moldy and spray stink. I am buying Idaho Timothy now. Thankfully there is an importer, but it takes all day to go get it.
The star on his face looks like the shape of Florida to me so a name I would suggest is Hernando. Hernando is a county in Florida named after one of the Spanish explorers. Another suggestion I have is Valparaiso which is a name for a city in Florida. It means "valley of paradise." Those are just a couple of my name suggestions. :D
He is going to be such a character! Lol. I think you are going to have a lot of fun with him. I am terrible with finding names, but I thought of Arturo, you could call him Artie which goes with his goofy personality.
Fun to watch. Nice job. I was thinking a horse, being a herd animal, would be missing friendly contact and he seemed quite able to accept stroking by the end.
Here is a few names I came up with but I still like Marvin for some reason! They are or have Spanish origins and their meaning... Alfons - Gothic - Noble and Ready; A variant form of the name Alfonso Cariann - A man who is a darling Esteban - crowned in victory Everardo - brave or hardy Fargo - A person who comes from the fenced pasture (This one mite be really fitting!) Felis - He who is fortunate in life (I also like this one BC it is true!) Jeronimo - One who is saved from harm Renato - Born Again; Reborn; Rebirth; A variant of name Rene Saviero - One who has a new home
Oh you’re going to love our Florida winter. Today here in Ocala it was a high of 66 and a low of 47 with not a snowflake in sight. Are you coming down for HITS?
when do you know they are ready to even start this step? i rescued a mare from a kill pen and paid them to halter break her, but they donkey broke her and i think it caused more harm then good. she used to shake like crazy when she would see people but shes coming out of her shell slowly and i can pet her and scratch her face with one hand. i can throw a rope around her neck but cannot grab it yet or anything. i have to be careful as if she feels scared she lashes out. whats your recommendation and opinion on situations like this
Very sweet. Very cold. . . hope he gets that blanket, soon! You would think with the cold though, you would have one of those ubiquitous home-made knotted halters with no metal. Maybe not so bad with fur, but hell on bare skin. I may be too human. Teasel and Japanese knot weed for lyme disease. The deer eat this stuff in need. Vaccines are horrible. Laws, though.

Those are great
He is a kisser! Call him Valentino
Aww
Those kisses. I died of the cute! He's gonna a be somebody's best friend some day soon.
Totally
I love how he's willing to give kisses for food, lol. He's a doll, you can already tell.
He is
Oh what a sweet boy he seems like he’s curious too.
Yes
The only name I can think of for him is Besos-kisses!! 😁 😘
Yes!
THIS IS PERFECT! 👏
Yes, Besos. Love that
Yes he should be called Besos!
This was my thought too!
Tesoro. Spanish for treasure. He has a lovely temperament!
Lovely
I love goofy horses like him. Hes so adorable! He seems like he will be a super easy horse to gentle ❤
He is adorable
He is such a good boy love to see that there are people like you out there who are willing to spend the time and gentle the halter on him.
:) me too
He's so cute, you picked a good one, I love his curiosity. He reminds me of a Casanova, Nova for a shortened version.❤
It is a cute name. We do have a horse at the farm already with it

I sure love them
He’s a lucky boy to be in your care. It’s so peaceful to watch you work with him.
Thank you
He looks like a Luz to me! It means light 😊 excellent job on the first haltering! You let him know he had a choice and he continued to choose to hang out with you and eat.
Yes!
I love your gentle method.❤️
Thanks
That was so great. So gentle. He really likes you and wants to trust you. Fantastic in 2 days!!!
Thank you
Love that he’s so sweet and curious, putting his nose up to you and doing the Flehmen response is adorable!
He is lol
Really amazing how he is comfortable being haltered after one day. It really shows your ability as a trainer 🤩
It actually shows her time and dedication. Other trainers on UA-cam refuse to put in the time to achieve this. What she has achieved in two days should be the norm.

@109367 those are all excuses. It’s never the horse. It’s always the human.

Me too
He is soooooo sweet. Well done to you as well. This work does require a ton of patience.
It does
lol That face he made. You said "You're pretty funny and then he moved his head up and down like he was agreeing with you.
Lol
Hello! I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video--this helped me halter my own horse for the first time! Greatly appreciated!
Glad it helped
Shame there arent more horsey people like you around. I think what you do is just amazing. 😍👍 x
Thanks!!
He's so adorable! Love the highlights in his forelock 🙂
:)
Amazing progress in such a short time. Kind of magical to watch as you gain his confidence and trust.
Thank you
SOOOOO PROUD of you two!!!! 💕
Yay
What a character. He's so genuine. Love him (-: Marion
Thanks
Right there at the end: he really leaned into you, enjoying the stroking of your hand. The look in his eyes changed.
You handle your horses just how I handle animals, so nice to watch.
Thank you
Absolutely love the way you work with your mustang. Patience, kindness, persistence. ❤️
Thank you
He looks like he has a great personality, and is starting to trust you. A very interesting video.
He is ;)
I have a horse that went through the TIP program. Best thing I could have done. 7 years later and he's wonderful. It's really a great start for them.
They are great horses
a lot of baby steps lead to giant strides.You do this well. I take the halter off every time i'm done for the day and put on again at the start of each day, in two or three days it's no longer an issue. I do not leave halters on my horses all the time,if it catches on something they can get hurt.
Sounds good to me!
I really think you should name him Maverick because he is very independently minded and avoids confrontation
Ohiyesa means “winner” Dakota/Lakota Sioux Indian, Agapito “beloved, Spanish/Italian ,
Amaro like the dark liquor
All nice
He's so curious! Very friendly guy!!! Looks like he's going to be fun...kisses ALREADY!:)
Lol yup
nice work, you have the patience of a saint!
Thank you
Oh this is a good idea! I'm not sure it'll work for my guy since he's really high flighty! But it's worth a shot.

Thank you!
Love, love, love!!
EWT and west Nile are the 2 main shots we go for in north florida. Also from snow bird friends I know that florida is the strictest state.
Thanks
Love on day 2 he had enough confidence to give you a little smuch
Yes!
The work you do with these mustangs is inspiring! This video was the best part of my day. Thank you!
Yay
Look at all the comments about his Kisses! I second the name BESOS which is Kisses in Spanish! 💋
It is cute
Thank you so much!!!
It’s fun to watch. Thanks for sharing the baby steps.
:)
Totally loved this!
Thanks
What a great soul this horse has! If you were looking for a name that wasn't Spanish in origin, I would recommend 'Mahatma'...that means 'great soul'
Lovely
He seems to have a healthy curiosity. That is a good sign.
Yes!

Good to know for when I travel south
As a person who isn’t familiar with horses. Seeing such a change in such a short time is amazing.
Thank you
2:00 OMG LOOOOVEE him!!!!!!!!!!!! what a cutie pie!
Ramone? I like Valentino from Carol Van Rooyen. or Cassanova?
Patience is rewarded - good job on getting him comfortable with you so quickly
Thank you
I think you should name him Maverick because he looks like he is very independently minded and non-confrontation
Nice work! I don’t mind long videos , love watching and learning new technics ❤️
Thank you
I admire your patience, I could not do that
Thanks
I love seeing the snow! It's 114.8F here in my part of Australia today. He's looking good, and seems like he will be a sweetie.
Wow hot!!!!
He seems quite comfortable with you and kisses already!! You’re so good at this!! Look at him ... once a mustang, soon a cuddle-bug!
He is
Will you give him carrots or apples or sweet potatoes? I love your videos just started watching you yesterday. You are so patient it’s unbelievable.
I did try a carrot and he thought that was poison too
The star on his face looks like the shape of Florida to me so a name I would suggest is Hernando. Hernando is a county in Florida named after one of the Spanish explorers.
Another suggestion I have is Valparaiso which is a name for a city in Florida. It means "valley of paradise."
Those are just a couple of my name suggestions. :D
Thanks
@@HarmonyHorsemanship You're welcome!
So patient, smooth and progressive! Awesome 👏😍
Thanks
"It takes the time that it takes." Nicely done!
Thanks
Waouh ! Really great sweet job ! 👍🏻❤️🐴
:)
Wow incredible! What patience you have!!
Thanks
Timothy he seems really happy when you said that❤️
:)
He is going to be such a character! Lol. I think you are going to have a lot of fun with him. I am terrible with finding names, but I thought of Arturo, you could call him Artie which goes with his goofy personality.
Cute
he reminds me of my pony that always wants to give kisses!
Aww
Fun to watch. Nice job. I was thinking a horse, being a herd animal, would be missing friendly contact and he seemed quite able to accept stroking by the end.
Agreed
Bryce Canyon is one of my favorite places in Utah, not sure of the spelling, yet Bryce is my suggestion for his name.
Thanks
I think you should name him Maverick because he is pretty independently minded
He's such a gorgeous funny guy
He is
Here is a few names I came up with but I still like Marvin for some reason! They are or have Spanish origins and their meaning...
Alfons - Gothic - Noble and Ready; A variant form of the name Alfonso
Cariann - A man who is a darling
Esteban - crowned in victory
Everardo - brave or hardy
Fargo - A person who comes from the fenced pasture (This one mite be really fitting!)
Felis - He who is fortunate in life (I also like this one BC it is true!)
Jeronimo - One who is saved from harm
Renato - Born Again; Reborn; Rebirth; A variant of name Rene
Saviero - One who has a new home
Lovely
You are the best!❤👍
Thanks
Its going to be fun following this cute guys progress! Spanish? El Capitan!
:)
Just amazing!!
Thanks
What a smart horse. Call him Wasatch, Moab, Zion, or Tooele (too-willa - although I think that is not a Ute Indian word). Uintah is a local name.
Thanks
Oh you’re going to love our Florida winter. Today here in Ocala it was a high of 66 and a low of 47 with not a snowflake in sight. Are you coming down for HITS?
Sounds great and yes
He's a silly boy, you should call him Jester!
Aww
When you are training with the camera off do you listen to music or anything? Just wondering!
I usually talk to him
Awwwww he is a sweet boy. Look how he is investigating you and sniffing you to see who you are. He is lovely.
He is
Wonderful.
Possible name suggestion: Gracioso (means funny)
Cute
Curious... George.
:)
Great job 👍
Thanks
How about Magio for Magic in Spanish? Just thinking that you are working magic with him in his training, advancing him so gently and so fast.
Good idea
Teach him drissage and name him Danny ( lord Of The Dance) just a half pass is enough
He is so curious about you! Name him Distancia because he WILL go the distance!
Cool
i forgot to say the meaning of the name zorro - it means 'golden dawn'
In what language?
when do you know they are ready to even start this step? i rescued a mare from a kill pen and paid them to halter break her, but they donkey broke her and i think it caused more harm then good. she used to shake like crazy when she would see people but shes coming out of her shell slowly and i can pet her and scratch her face with one hand. i can throw a rope around her neck but cannot grab it yet or anything. i have to be careful as if she feels scared she lashes out. whats your recommendation and opinion on situations like this
I use Positive Reinforcement... I find the rope tossing just scares them
Awww
What size halter do you use for a mustang? Thank you in advance! 😊
Usually horse size
He is incredibly cute
Thanks
Very sweet. Very cold. . . hope he gets that blanket, soon! You would think with the cold though, you would have one of those ubiquitous home-made knotted halters with no metal. Maybe not so bad with fur, but hell on bare skin. I may be too human.
Teasel and Japanese knot weed for lyme disease. The deer eat this stuff in need. Vaccines are horrible. Laws, though.
Good idea
I love the name coyote
Casanova? Maybe?
Love to watch you ,he is sweet you need a Indian name for sweet
:)
Funny in Spanish is Gracioso (masculine): funny, gracious, amusing, graceful
Cute
Wow.
:)
He’s so pretty! What about Fuego?
Cute
@@HarmonyHorsemanship How about Tengo? Its a Spanish Word meaning " To Have". Or " Tango" like the dance.
