- I am competing in the 2022 Meeker Mustang Makeover Undersaddle Divison. The drive was gorgeous and pretty interesting. It was a 6-hour drive from Pueblo to Meeker, going through the Great Divide instead of over it, which was pretty cool. The Steve Mantle clinics helped me a lot, giving me more information and tools to help me refine my horsemanship skills for the next 100 days. I am super excited for our journey together!
Video filmed on April 29th and 30th.
If you are new to my channel, I am a 16-year-old horse trainer from Pueblo, Colorado. I have been training horses since August of 2018, and Lady will be the second wild mustang I will have trained. I will also compete in the Youth Fort Worth Extreme Mustang Makeover this year. I picked up my partner for that competition on May 13th; his pick-up video should be out relatively soon. Previously, I competed in the 2021 Oklahoma City Extreme Mustang Makeover with a 2-year-old curly mustang whom I named Chester. I use natural horsemanship to teach horses to overcome fear and find the power, love, and self-control within themselves to set them up for success. I love training mustangs because they start with a very fearful start of mind and it's so rewarding to watch them overcome and make huge transformations with just a bit of patience. There are too many mustangs for the range to support so they have to be gathered and cared for in holding pens. The demand for adoption is less than the amount needing homes, mainly because they aren't trained yet, so by training them and helping them overcome their fear, they can find homes much more easily. My goal is to help mustangs, one horse at a time, and makeovers are a big part of that for me.
Thank you so much F.M. Light & Sons for sponsoring this 120-day journey!

That is by far the BEST trailer loading I've seen done. Those people are authentic horse lovers! Wonderful to see such quiet, considerate humans, thanks for sharing.
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I have watched many mustang makeover videos, and a few movies. Although I do not have a horse myself, I have worked with young children. I love the freshness and simple beauty of your videos. Your efforts to have a deeper connection with your horse will go far. (just like when teaching children) I grew up around horses, however, my circumstances and finances make having one not something that will happen right now. So love watching your progress and efforts. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you!
Its amazing back in the 1800s people battled on horses and wagons against all aspects of nature to get over those mtns and now the red carpet is rolled out for us.
Lady is just a beautiful mare!
It looks like you had a fun trip and now have a sweet and sensible girl to work with. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank You!
Drove semis all over nothing more beautiful than those mountains
Agreed. I’ve been making that same trip about 8-10 times a year since then, taking Hoosier pass instead of Denver, and it’s always beautiful.
Love her!
Wow it’s crazy to think you picked up a random horse in a random town a couple years ago and now you’re living in that random town because of that random horse. ❤️❤️
I know right?! I just wished she was here to enjoy it
Very excellent work done with training
Excited to see this I am thankful My Merry Christmas present thank you
Perfect loading
They really were good about loading horses that year, and she’s been sweet from the start.
I'm homesick honestly I use to drive that quite a bit 😔
