Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 кві 2023
- Today is the first part of Marleys Wild Mustang Project, where she will be gentling a yearling wild mustang and competing in a Youth In-Hand TIP Challenge (Sept 23'). This a youth TIP program run by the Mustang Heritage Foundation and the Bureau of Land Management to encourage the adoption of mustangs that otherwise would be confined in BLM holding corrals. In the video we will go over some of the techniques she is using to train her mustang, some upgrades to the shelter, and plans for the next phases of the gentling process and TIP challenge preparation.
As always, let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching!
- Joe

It went from hay barn to horse shed. I knew that was coming. What a great project for your daughter. You are truly a great father sir. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! Yes it was quite a turn of event over the past few months, considering we were telling her it’s likely be a few years before we’d be able to do anything like this. And then we found out about the mustang heritages youth TiP program and well….It’s begun😂
You're making a very high precious experience...they're are never forget their growing and her parents. Lovely 😍
Thank you very much Carlos!😊🙏
Having horses grounds you as kid.. through life!
Having pets makes you a more empathetic human being.
Yes, I’d agree to both😊👍
What an awesome young lady! She will never forget these times with Wyndy! All the best guys!!
Thanks for checking it out Joe!
-Joe 😉👍
Project-based learning! That's great! what a lucky kid. Y'all are model Americans.
Thank you! Hands on learning has always been the best for me. And she seems to take to it very well too!
Positively adore these interactions with your young daughter and this young horse. Life lessons are being taught here. You are an amazing father, keep it up. I mean that whole heartedly.
Thank you very much….greatly appreciated! I just hope I get more things right than wrong and that I can be the dad that she deserves😊🙏
What a wonderful, patient, lovely young lady you have raised. The world could use so many more like her!!!
Thank you so much! We are doing our best to prepare her for this crazy world we live in!
Another great video buddy! Wild WINDY is a beautiful addition to the family my friend. Just yesterday I was taking my daughter to the pony rides when she was 10... now she's 24. Kids grow up so fast... God bless you guys!
Thanks Tony….time flies fast! It feels like just the blink of an eye as they grow up so fast. So I’m glad you helped make those memories for your daughter as well!
God bless you and your family Tony!
That's awesome.. She's a good little trainer... Keep it up brother...
Thank you very much Dan!
Awe, my Grandfather raised horses and taught all the kids to learn how to ride. He of course broke them, probably old school style but he loved them, we all loved them. I remember Annie and later Star as the two I rode. Neat to see your growing daughter have such patience and maturity in gaining trust of her beautiful mustang! I see her having such a bright future with all the skills and confidence, eagerness for responsibility and acceptance of challenges, etc. that you’ve taught her. Congrats on your Mustang
Ah those are the kinds of memories I’m hoping she will have as well! We are enjoying this process very much and I can’t help but think of another one for my wife so that they can ride together once Wyndy is old enough for a saddle. And a burro for me😂
Amazing parenting!!!!! This kiddo is going to be an awesome adult someday
Thank you! We are doing our best to prep her for this crazy world we live in😊🙏
She is very patient and doing a great job with Wyndy!
Thank you! I’ll let her know!
One of the most wholesale videos I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing. Cannot believe how big Marley has gotten. Seems like yesterday when she was a baby. Thank you for sharing Joe. Love as always from South Africa.
She’s a lovely sweet soul, nice job with her training Marley your a natural ❤ #giddyup 🐎
Thank you😊🙏
Marley, your knowledge is impressive. You've obviously done your homework and your hard work and patience are reaping rewards with Wyndy. I'd say your Mum and Dad are doing a great job too! All the best, from Australia xx
Marley has really grown! What a blessing to get an opportunity to experience something like this and learn from it. Homeschooling is awesome!
She’s growing way to fast….wish I could slow it down at least a little bit😅. And yes, we are really happy to have homeschooled her early on. The last few years have only served to reassure us of the decision.
GREAT JOB Marley!!!
I Refurbish horse stalls and build custom horse Arenas and Round Pens.
It’s just so amazing how much more polite intelligent and well mannered the home school kids are that are involved with horses.
What a great project for your family. I hope Wyndy adapts to your family quickly. She looks like one of the horses in a Beverly Doolittle painting.
I used to work with a friend that rescued Percheron horses. I see that you have supplied a horse ball. Consider adding a bristled push broom head screwed to a post or vertical panel where she can brush her face and flanks.
Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace brother
Yes, I think I’m gonna have to add a brush soon. She’s been rubbing on the panels but that would certainly hit the spot better for her face and nose areas.
She is so brave! City kids won't get that close to a horse. Hope everything goes well. As always, stay safe and healthy.
Thank you! And yes, we are trying to do it as safely as possible…. Of course, Wyndy is a 500lb young horse though… so, safe as can be😉👍
Wyndy is one lucky horse! ❤️ Those two are a great pair.
Thank you! They are bonding very well already😊🙏
Gonna be a great series to watch. I really enjoy learning along with you guys on things like this!
Glad to hear it Eddy!
Your daughter is doing amazing, and so are you guys raising such a confident young lady.
Marley's life is very enriched.
We are trying to raise her the best that we can😊🙏
Good to see gentle breaking and training, you 2 are doing an awesome job .
Thank you Jeffrey!
That little Mustang lucked out landing on your spread Joe. Marley is doing a terrific job of training Wyndy!
Thank you Daniel! We looking forward to seeing how much Marley and Wyndy can get accomplished by the September show!
Your daughter's growing up so fast! I remember when I first started watching years ago. God bless you and your family
Thank you James! May God bless you and your family too!
This is impressive
Thanks!
I have trained 3 mustangs over the years. I can assure you that if she keeps putting in the time with that horse, she will end up getting amazing results. Consistency and patience will pay off in the end. Enjoy the journey.
Thank you Justin! That’s the kinda hands on experience I like to hear….I will let her know!
I had no idea that y'all were going to do this.
So cool that Marley is doing the TIP competition.
Short story...I've been obsessed with horses my whole life (I'm 60 now).
Had some experiences with horses at my aunt and uncle's place in Washington state, for a couple of summers.
Fast forward, a few years ago I ran across some horse trainers that were involved with the Extreme Mustang Makeover...I was hooked!
Most did video the whole process, and this is when I REALLY learned about horses, what makes them tick, and the training process.
Currently there are three trainers that I follow. They also are the ones that I truly appreciate, and respect.
Warwick Schiller (doesn't do a lot of new videos, probably because he a subscription based program online, but does have quite a few older ones.
Tim Anderson (trains, and shows Reigning horse)
Ryan Rose
These folks know horses, and they all have an approach that focuses on creating a relationship with the horse, as well as working their mind, and not just their bodies.
The first one I found doing the Extreme Mustang Makeover, was Elyssa Wallace. She does an amazing job with these mustangs.
Unfortunately most of her videos are of her competing in dressage and cross country now. Not really into the whole horse "competition" thing, but her older mustang training videos are still very interesting. She does post the occasional exhibition video with a couple of her mustangs.
Marley is living my dream right now.
If only I knew what I know now, when I had the opportunity to work with horses in my younger years 😏
Can't wait to see the videos of Marley, and her new baby.
Thanks Joe!
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Oh yes, we have watched quite a few of those Mustang makeovers!!!! Absolutely amazing what they end up doing with those horse!
We are so excited about this new venture and Marley is completely over the moon with horses. I think she’s been riding for about 2 years and literally is ‘horse crazy’. Eat sleep and breaths horses😂
Of course now I’m already thinking about how we can maybe get another for my wife so that when Wyndy is old enough to ride, then we can ride with her. And I kinda want to do a burro now too🤪
Anyways, it’s been very exciting and I can’t wait to show you some footage of what they can learn together!
….. oh yes, I’ll check out those trainers too! Thanks!
@@homesteadonomics
"A burro..."
I absolutely love donkeys! I'd give anything to walk out in the morning, and be greeted by them saying good morning. I also sub to some donkey rescues. Have learned quite a bit about their behaviors, which just like horses, is "survival", their approach to it is definitely different.
Gotta love those big ears!
I applaud the intelligent young lady. She did a remarkable job building trust with this beautiful wild Mustang !
We are so happy for Marley and Wyndy to have become partners. I love seeing Marley's skills become stronger and her personality mature. She's special, that one.
What joy for this young lady to learn a skill set and grow with a Beautiful Animal like this mustang, the excitement just shows with wanting to be out for six or more hours putting in the work. Congratulations Joe your a great Father. I didn't see the family dog you didn't trade her in did you, lol. Thanks for Sharing keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoyed it! And don’t worry….Olive is still around. Just had to keep her inside during much of the initial training so as to not spook Wyndy. Because she just has that herding instinct to try and be involved in everything😂
What a very cool video!!
Thank you!
So proud of her! I thought they had mustangs in Arizona but didn’t know about Wyoming😊
It's always a good day when I see one of your videos in my feed.
Thanks for keeping it real!
Congrats, Marley!
She's a beautiful horse!
She says thank you!
@@homesteadonomics She's welcome!
Pressure and release is the language of the horse.
That little girl has got a lot of personality! 😂
I wonder who she takes after?!
She gets all the sweetness from her mom…. And the desire to create/invent things and the need to do those things her own way, from me😂
@@homesteadonomics I was talking about the horse. 😂 But your daughter is doing a good job. 😄
Marey is doing awesome! She’s a natural!
Thank you!
I absolutely love this! Marley is doing a fantastic job and Wyndy is a lucky horse.
Teresa (& Mark)
Thank you Teresa and Mark!
An awesome introduction for her to your desert homestead, Joe. Hope she becomes a great member of the family.
I showed the video to my almost 9 year old daughter, and she's now asking for her own mustang. We watched a couple of adoption auction videos and discussed the process, and then what will be needed to actually keep and manage a wild horse as it's getting gentled and trained.
Our neighbor's daughter has a yearling horse, so I think there's a "horse bug" among neighborhood girls now.
Marley is doing amazing!
Thank you!
Perfect approach to taking on home schooling! It seems Marley has a lot of patience and determination. Well done!
Thank you! We are trying to do our best to set her up for success and I might be a tiny bit biased, but she’s the best kid I could have ever asked for😊
What a sweet baby horse for a darling kind little girl. Good job little girl.
Wow, your daughter knows so much about horses! I would love to see more videos where she is training her or her relationship with the horse. Pretty cool stuff!
Congratulations Marley
Thank you!
What a lucky girl! Great job Marley, enjoy every minute of this.
Congratulations. Way to be about it.
Thank you!
Marley is doing an amazing job! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out!
that was outstanding!
Thanks!
I'm so excited for you all! My big sister and my twin sister and I grew up with our horses: a beautiful Tennessee Walking Horse and mother and daughter Arabian Buckskin Welch Ponies. You learn so much from caring for horses. 😊
Wyndy is so beautiful! Do you know how big she will be?
Thanks! And sounds like you and your siblings had a great time growing up with your horses too!
As far as hands…..I think the mustangs are around 14-15hh. But when we picked her up, the coordinator showed us one of her horses from that same herd in WY and it was over 17hh! He was giant! I guess that herd has a lot of the bigger draft horse genetics in it.
Really enjoyed watching Marley introducing Wyndy. Great video!
I was privileged to ride a mustang here in California’s Central Valley. He was a very good boy and didn’t even have to wear shoes which I thought was interesting 😊
That’s great to hear! our goal would be hopefully to not ever have to shoe her. We choose dark hooves for just that reason…. As we heard the darker the hoof the less chance they’d need shoes later on.
Really great video. Wyndy and Marley look like they are going to be a great team. I am very impressed with her care and determination. I look forward to seeing how Wyndy progresses with her training. It seems like the chicken love her as well. Whoever is in charge of corral clean up is doing a great job. Sorry to see the wrist bandage at pick up but I guess you heal quickly. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! As a matter of fact Marley does almost all the clean up in there… and I even had some clips of her shoveling the poop, but forgot to add them in.
And you’ve got a good eye noticing the wrist. Unfortunately it’s getting worse as I’ve just been trying to ignore it🤦♂️. But I did see a surgeon and he said it’s a simple fix, but I’ll have to be off work for about a month for it to heal. But I’m trying to seek out some alternative options (homeoapthy and acupuncture) before resorting to the surgery.
So we’ll see…..😬
That filly doesn't seem very wild. She loves Marley already ❤
She was the most timid of the yearling group…. Has reared up a few times towards the beginning but has settled in really nicely so far!
You have a beautiful pony. Your daughter is doing a good job on training her pony.
Well Joe we all knew a horse was going to happen and what a pretty Mustang she is! Marley definitely has the patience to befriend Wyndy and soon they will be inseparable. So we all are wondering when you are picking up the next Mustang? 😉
Haha….it’s been on my mind, because eventually when Wyndy is old enough to be saddled I’d want my wife or me to be able to ride with her. But my wife is the wise one in regard to money so she will definitely be more hesitant when it comes to having another horse to feed. But I keep telling her that Wyndy is gonna need some sort of companion to be there with her for the long term. So perhaps I’ll push for a burro 🤪
I know, you know this about your daughter but Marley young lady and amazing with Wyndy. Enjoyed the video, wishing y'all the best with Wild Mustang.
Thank you Adela 😊🙏
@@homesteadonomics You're welcome
You are doing a great job out there, Mom and Dad!
Fun video Joe!!! I'd still be concerned of her somehow getting a hoof caught in that fencing you installed in the shelter. I think I'd of gone with sheets of 5/8's wood laid long ways. Marley sure is very smart! 🙂
This is awesome! Marley's grin when Wyndy came over for a sniff at the beginning could light the whole state. 🤩 Very excited for you all, and especially for Wyndy, seems like she's quickly attached to you all and thrilled to be there. Fun to watch her follow Marley like a duckling and come over on camera for scritches and pets. Congrats on the new arrival!
Beautiful mustang, great enclosure project and thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Daniel!
Such a great program! Wonderful story and opportunity.
Hey Joe! hope all is going great with you all. I noticed the video with Marley's new horse "Wyndy" and just now had time to watch it. I think Marley may have found her nitch, I'm thinking maybe a veterinarian could be her calling? Anyways she really has the feel for it and so super sweet with the animals! Always so great Joe to stop by and see you and your cool projects! Take care my friend, till next excellent video! Captain Ron, Northern AZ. 🌵🌄🏇
well done you are doing well
Thank you!
Great job
Thank you!
Doing great Marley!! I think Wyndy is going to be a great horse!!! 🥰
Thank you Loretta! We sure are hoping so! And btw….I did tell Taryn you wished her a happy birthday too!😊🙏
Thank you! I also put Marley on my calendar.
I vote for you as the next president of the USA!!!!!! thanks for all you do.
So cool! I keep telling myself I l’ll get a horse when I grow up… I wonder if I’m ever going to grow up? 😂
I’m excited to watch this new adventure you’ve undertaken!
I still wonder about when I grow up too!🤪
And as for the horse program….it’s pretty incredible as the Mustang heritage foundation covers most all the costs of these tip challenges. Except the feed and lodging of course. It’s kinda their mission to try and get more of these mustangs adopted. So perhaps, just maybe there is Ken in your future at some point😉
What a fabulous project! Wyndy seems to have a great personality and is clearly already bonding with her people ❤ I love her drinking from the hose and enjoying the fan, lol. My mare also loves the hose, and standing where the sprinkler water can hit her 😁 I repeat myself sometimes, but thank you for being a happy, wholesome part of the internet!!
Crazy to see how fast your children have grown. I remember when you did that playground project. It feels like yesterday.
Awesome positive reinforcement training. My wife is a behavior analyst and specializes in raptors. She always talks about her childhood of working with animals.
Such great parenting and this will surely help your daughter determine what she wants to do with the rest of her life.
Great work and love seeing your videos!
PERFECTION I was super impressed with both Marley and Wyndy. The curiosity that Wyndy showed is an excellent sign of acceptance. I love seeing the size match up between Marley and Wyndy also. Growing up with horses in my youth. I have seen a lot of intimidation coming from larger breeds. Causing want to be riders to fear the animal. This match up (size) was considered perfection in my day. Watching your video sure brought back some memories, They are a ton of upkeep with horse's ! My dad was a big believer of cool down walks and baths after trail rides or barrel runs. So it seemed like are horses were constantly being pampered !!! But it did teach me a lot about responsibility and proper care for my animals of any kind. So I am thankful. Your family life is an inspiration for all of us. Thanks for sharing as always. Ron
Congrats on the new family members.
I really enjoying what ever project your doing
My first horse was a Ohio state champion barrel racer
That’s awesome! Seeing those barrel horses get antsy right before a run is something!
She's Beautiful! 😊
Thank you!
@@homesteadonomics You're Very Welcome!
Great video. Good luck.
Your daughter is doing a fantastic job.
Marley has grown, she is doing great with the horse ,Awesome video guys
OK i love project
Marley is doing amazing with Wyndy!! Love watching this process progress! 🐴
Cool program and learning opportunity. Barn and pen look great. Marley seems very well versed and knowledgeable in what she’s learned. Great job!
Congratulations ! Wyndy already seems to be settling down nicely. She’s a beautiful little filly, and is a great addition to your farm. A few things I did to desensitize my endurance horses was to leave feed bags in the pen so they got used to things blowing around on the ground, such as plastic bags that seems to be everywhere. . I’d also gently toss a tennis ball at them to get them used to something that may touch or drop on them while out on trail. After they we used to that I’d throw the ball for our dogs near and past the horses so they’d get used to, mostly cows, coyotes and rabbits, darting out of the bushes. Can’t wait to see the progression…..
Beautiful horse!
Horse are very easy to care for doesn't take much main thing keeping there hooves trimmed
Yeah the farrier work is gonna be interesting. I’m looking to hook up with one that can train me on the basics.
Congratulation on getting Wyndy!
She is a beautiful Mustang :)
Great video! Your daughter has so much patience.
I love it! Your daughter looks like a pro already. ❤
Very, very cool! Best of luck in this endeavor.
Thank you Raynola😊🙏. It’s been all Marley can talk about for about a year now….lots of learning and growing with this project! It’s been quite learning experience so far….in addition to the training aspect, shes learning quite a bit in budgeting, large animal biology and healthcare, and so much more…. Of course also the emotional bonding is huge too!
Hey! All the best!!
You can get her a mister too, since it is desert humidity.
Has she met Olive and Winnie yet?
Yes she met Winnie almost immediately…haha….that little cat just loves to visit all the animals. Goats, chickens, and now the horse😂
Marley looks like she grew a foot taller over that last few videos!!
She’s growing like a weed!
Mustang is beautiful and it is therapy for children and people. How do you grow vegetables on your property and in that climate zone? If you do, it would be interesting to see. Greetings.
Thank you! As for a gardening video….if you scroll back in my videos tab, you should see one that is titled ‘garden tour and diy gate latch’. Around a year ago or so. I talk about the garden in that one.
With the wood in the stall be watchful for horse cribbing. Some make it a bad habit when they are stressed
Thanks! I will keep watch for that😊🙏
I would have given my brother's left arm to have a wild mustang yearling. Wyndi is so pretty.
Those were great videos when we could watch you at work...
I have been watching professional horse trainers, ones that help people with the problems their having with their horse and the one thing they seem to say is never feed your horse from your hand. 😊
I really don't like horses 😂😂😂 but I'm glad I still got to see some cats and goats in the background
Oh yes….you can always be sure to see one of those cats in the background of the videos
If you find you need more protection around the walls I’ve used 5/4 X 6” decking and it works pretty good as well
🙂👋👋👋👋
