All her scarring back there really looks like mountain lion attack attempts. It's amazing she is brave and didn’t seem to let whatever caused the scars change her braveness and kindness. Great choice. Love her curiosity; she's a smart one
Well, could be that she successfully fought the mountain lion off. Maybe that's why she isn't that traumatized and has gotten even stronger because of it. She might be a warrior..
She is a beautiful roan mustang, I have a Morgan/mustang, she is the sweetest, since I've been watching your videos, thanks for all of your help, Jake with pear tree also helps me too. BTW I love the name maverik ❤🐎
If it was a predator attack, I wonder if it happened when she was a baby. It seems like a rip that long would be about 18 inches on a baby but on an adult horse it’s over 2 feet long, and also very high off the ground. Just a theory.
It seems you picked a winner--she's got beauty and brains, good confirmation, and nice way of moving. Courageous and curious, too. That scar could have been from a mountain lion attack, but who knows. It's more distinctive than any brand you could. put on her. You're lucky to have her and she's lucky to be with you.
Very lucky mare indeed. I especially like the way she looks into the camera when you're talking to us... This shows she is intelligent and I think she is quite sweet. ❤ I like watching your videos because I am an "armchair horsewoman" so to speak! 😁👍🏻
@WendyBeall It’s much more likely that she got that injury from another horse or even when she was captured. There are very rarely predators like mountain lions for the wild horses, which is why they have to be rounded up because they over populate.
@@BrightStarHorses Yes that is what BLM says. I don't believe that they are over populated. And they have a right to live there. What would the US be without horses??
She's the most interesting horse I've ever watched. Everything from her seems calculated. And the way she moves is just as unique! She moves as gracefully as a deer!
I wondered if she was a roan because I’ve been following Rudnik on UA-cam for a little while and he’s a blue roan. I didn’t know what a roan was before but the coat changes are amazing.
She does seem to test but more like for information gathering rather than trying to be the leader. She goes for head down rather naturally. I like her bravery. She’s a nice mare! I’m glad you didn’t let the scar be a negative. ❤️
She has the sweetest face and I am totally in love with her already! I live in AZ and we go out to all the secret spots we know to watch the wild horses and it’s such a special moment when you see them in their herds just being wild and free. She does need a name tho…❤
What a cool mare- such a thinker! If you don't keep her, whoever gets her is going to be very lucky to have her! Looks, soundness and brains! She'd make a phenomenal trail or endurance partner.
The scar is obvious... she was defending a bus full of nuns from a ninja attack and took a throwing star to the hind end. Couldn't have been anything else in my opinion
I happen to be an equine shuriken webeologist and can confidently state that is the typical wound pattern you see in 9 out of ten incidents involving horses nuns ninjas and mass transit. You should consider going to ninja medical school.
@@warrenbeichter8924most western webeoligists would likely agree with you but I visited Japan during my residency and worked briefly in the country's leading equine ninja surgical rehabilitation center where I made the decision to specialize in shuriken religious mass transit rehabilitation medicine. The key to distinguishing between chicken and shuriken events is beak spread in the scar pattern an evidence of plucking around the tail. Sometimes you also see feathering.
Hi Ryan. My name is Heather, I live in New Zealand. I am new to utube & you were the first person I started to follow a couple of months back. I just wanted to say I think you are amazing with the horses & your knowledge is incredible. I wish I had known half the things you teach 30yrs ago when I owned a horse. Your mustang is beautiful ❤
Im so excited for this series. I predict she will be an awesomely sensible and unbothered mare. Her coat reminds me of the Sierras… a light dusting of snow on em.
Boy did this gorgeous girl get lucky to get you Ryan! Shes such a beautiful and clever mustang. Your ability to read and treat all horses with such kindness and respect is simply outstanding! Ive been following you for almost 3 years and your methods and humility never cease to amaze me. You are one of the most incredibly amazing trainers I've ever seen. Every horse deserves to be started and trained the way you do it! Over the years I've seen fame and money go to trainers heads.. but not you! Ive learnt more from you than any other trainer I've ever watched or followed Please.. never change 🙏💖
She is a very special mare. I laughed as she watched you in the mirror! So smart! I appreciate how you are so gentle with her, not rushing her. My favorite video to date.
That head nod is 100% move along now! Watch them single file in the wild, they move eachother along this way. You'll also see that as the first signal a mustang mare with a foal at her side to move off an unwanted visitor.
Wow, that scar is huge. I didn’t really get a good look at it until you zoomed in. Holy cow. Imagine how much time it took for that to heal. I think she’s awesome. You can tell she’s kind and smart. I love mares!!! She’s so lucky to have you. Good luck with her!
I wonder if you know how long ago she was captured. She really isn't very reactive to you or the new environment and your tools. No panic or overreactions. I'm impressed.
@@ryanrosehorsemanship 2 years! Wow. That's a bit of time. Makes her non-reactions more understandable. Despite trying to climb out of the loading chute.
Thanks for clarifying that you wanted to make sure she wasn’t pushing you. I never thought about that with Find the Herd. I would have totally backed up when she looked at you. Great explanation of why you didn’t. Thank you. What a great safety tip.
She is beautiful, scar or not. She has a kind eye and very curious, especially when she found out she could push the ball around. Maverick is a good name for her.
I think because you talk so much for your teaching video actually is good for her. The sound of your voice can be a calming and bonding experience for her.
So exciting will watching your journey with you❤ she is a gem in disguise I think !!! What a wonderful thing your doing staying with her she is blessed to be part of your herd and be in her forever home❤
Im 76 now wirh a bad back so I cant ride anymore. But I miss working with horses so much. Your videos are bringing back memories and I really admire your methods.
It does tend to look like a big cat attack that caused all that scaring on the back end. And I'm sure she is fully aware that whatever kind of threat it was, is no longer in her immediate world. She is finding you unthreatening, gentle, and I'm sure will come along very quickly as she is one smart girl! And so beautiful! I am so glad she landed in your world. Her world has improved 1000% just by you being in it. Thank you!
Shes nice. My first horse was a filly out of a wild herd off the place where I still live. It took mt 8 years to be able to scratch my nose without her almost dropping to the ground BUT THAT BEING SAID SHE WAS THE BEST HORSE IVE EVER OWNED. I KEPT HER UNTIL SHE HAD TO BE PUT DOWN AT 36. SHE STILL LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS 5. AWSOME MARE. GAVE ME 17 LIVE FOALS NO DEATHS. SHE WOULD NURSE ANYTHING THAT WOULD NURSE HER, CALVES, AND IF WE MILKED HER SHE WOULD LET HER MILK DOWN AND IT WOULD POUR OUT BOTH TEATS AT THE SAME TIME.😅😅😅😅.my mare was big too 16 hands.
I luv this on sooooo many levels. It's the most natural thing in the world to literally live with the horse. So many advantages for both of you. Have you ever put yourself in the horse's " shoes" tamed or wild? He sees the human at feeding time, training time, maybe a little hanging out time, and that's it. The human suddenly appears at a certain time, and then poof, gone. The horse never really gets to know about a human. This is gonna be an awesome adventure !!!! I feel better already❤
Really loving her attitude! Quite an interesting mare with an interactive attitude. You progressed so quickly with her. Great job! I've had my mustang 15 years and what you say about not eating certain things is so true! He still won't eat apples. He'll take them from me then drop them and lick his lips.
Scarlet will stick in people’s minds better for a name and is excellent “Branding” ! I’ve been on patreon since the early days but I haven’t been active. I’ll be tuning back in! Great stuff!
She's so elegant and beautiful, and moves with grace. I like the name Grace for her. It fits her personality. Perhaps when you moved during the night and it startled her, is because she was attacked during the night in her past when she was younger? I appreciate your kindness and gentleness, and patience. She's lucky you chose her. She will have a wonderful home and will be loved.
No Doubt with your expertise Ryan, you’ll do extremely well. We purchased a mustang from the Wyoming Honor farm 3yrs ago. It’s the best horse we’ve ever had. Good for you!!
She's such a beauty and she seems to have a great character. Absolutely love your style of working with her and getting a feel for each other. love it. so cool - can't wait for the next video.
Ryan you and Clever Cowgirl (from here in Montana with a great channel) are my favorites esp in learning about mustangs! And since this beautiful girl is clearly already broke by a sasquatch or something since she is being so easy on you - next time get a wild one so we can learn about real Mustang training!😂 all kidding aside, your intuitive training methods on all your vids are amazing!❤❤❤
@11 minutes in, she found the mirror. That could be worrisome for her. It’ll be interesting to see this setup. I’m Joining your Patreon to see every minute of this great adventure. I’m so excited to watch you work with her from scratch! Happy Camping, Ryan😊
Ryan, welcome to the life of every 10yr old girl that dreams of having and loving her very own horse. Those girls would live in the barn just to make friends and train her own horse. I think the fan is a good idea re: the flies.
I like this mare. She is clever and confident, but most of all intressted in her environment and the people around. She seems an lucky choice. I cant wait until next episode 😄
This whole thing is so cool I have no words to express that. Your decision to do it, you sharing an commenting through the whole process, your choice, your thinking, your methods and approach...wow
Maggie. The scar appears deep and wide like a bear claw, but bears have four. She must have been young, but not too young. Maybe her curiosity and confidence get her into trouble. She's amazing.
Good job, sir. Everybody’s talking about how smart this mare is. I have always found that the more we learn, the smarter all the horses seem to get. Very well executed.
Agree with your not withholding water. So good for you! I like your slow patient calm approach & spending time with her. -- I know these competitions are good at bringing awareness to American Mustangs, but it is also kind of pressuring the trainers & the horses with limited time. Whatever you achieve, then that's what is possible & showing the training whether you win or not is the important part. Note the tickets are already selling out for Mustang Magic in January 2025. Popular event. During Fort Worth Stock Show month. If anyone wants to see Fort Worth, then that's a good time to visit. Not hot & lots of activities going on.
I'm not too far into this video yet but man this is such a beautiful mare and I can already see that she's got a pretty brain too. Can't wait to see where you go with this one 😍
I saw when you got her and I have been waiting for this video! She was watching you in the very first video before you even got her💖So I am not surprised with her reactions to you!
I love this type of training. Creation of a new herd dynamic, one built on mutual respect. Her intelligence and intuitiveness is wonderful. The scar does not detract from her beauty and the kindness in her eyes, just a wonder to witness. Looking forward to watching the progress.
That was really so good and informative! I really watched her ears, laying back but most of the time normal. When you had her in the corner, I thought oh, here it comes, that she might get upset but she was truly pretty relaxed like not a big deal. A wild horse, that looks calm, for the most part. No kicking, no rearing, and when you put that bag on her face, I could not believe it. Cant wait to see more of her progress.
Sometimes injuries can be beneficial, as well. I just bought a 2 year old Finnish horse, mare, and she has not been handled or taught a lot, she has been living on the field with older mares. And Finnish horses can be quite difficult, if they have not learned the basics when they are young. They have cold blood and propably also some Russian and Swedish cold blood mixed historically. So we started traininng her, and the first lesson was to leave her alone in the stable, when my Andalusian gelding was ridden. We did not know if the mare had ever been attached to the wall, so she was free and alone a couple of minutes - and she tried to escape, jumped on the wall and got a quite a bad wound in her chest. The vet came and it was very difficult to wash the wound and treat it, and the progress in her training stopped and took some back steps and I had to invent special tools longer than my hand to be able to clean and treat the wound. Luckily the foal is very brave and I was still able to lead the mare to the pasture and back normally, and also make some basic training. So she was not afraid of humans, she was just afraid of pain. But now when the wound has healed a bit (five days after the vet visit) I have been able to make all the necessary treatments without any problems, and I think our relationship is actually much stronger and better now, than before that accident. Because now she really has to trust me! So injuries can have same kind of effect on horses as asking horses lay down, which I have been making a lot as a show rider.
when i first opened this video i was expecting something bad to happen while you were in there with her because of many videos i see like this the person who is doing the exact same thing, and they will be hitting the horse or something like that and i love that what i was expecting to happen went away instantly and i love that !!! you did an amazing job on this and i would love to see more!!
Hey Ryan my family just got a very green horse as my parents are elderly my sister and I will be doing a majority of the training/riding. Looking forward to using the techniques I’ve watched you use and translate them to our horse!
My first thought before you showed the closeup of the scar was she might have been savaged by a stallion, but that scar is crazy, if a mountain lion had her on the run I could see it grabbing her in its claws and then her showing it a pair of heels.
So looking forward to seeing her progress over the coming weeks. I love the name Maverick. I’m biased because that was the name of my first horse who was a character and lived to be 36 years old. Hope you get some better sleep tonight.
Thanks for watching! If you want to see the entire taming process go to www.patreon.com/ryanrosehorsemanship
She is beautiful and looks like a strawberry Rhone Appaloosa mix that can be from being in the wild?
@@trulylynn9941 Shes bay roan. the black marks arent appaloosa spots but are actually scarring. No appaloosa markings :)
@@eliteequinedesigns1 Thank you. I don't see well these days. I appreciate the info on the beautiful horse!

When she was young she slid down and slammed her ass on a rock

Agree ❤ Grace with a purpose.
She's smart and wary and not shy... Traits that will remain all through. She's not a passive mare.
The scar doesn't take away from her fine looks. She's calmer than I expected her to be. Smart horse.
She's a bay roan... BEAUTIFUL.
SMART too. A thinker. A calm demeanor.
Great choice❤❤❤❤
I wondered if she was a roan because I’ve been following Rudnik on UA-cam for a little while and he’s a blue roan. I didn’t know what a roan was before but the coat changes are amazing.

Looks like this mare has faced much scarier things than Ryan. Brave cookie.
She really uses her ears. It's a pleasure to see her taking in lots of information.
Cougar attack maybe? I know they like to attack from above. She’s amazing & I love her face!
That’s a good guess!
This is so amazing to see how this is done without trauma to the horse. ❤
She’s lovely. Seems to have a very sweet nature. Great pick.

Once you’re able to, I would love to know how many hands she is, seems so big for a mustang! Very lovely!!
I love this type of training. Creation of a new herd dynamic, one built on mutual respect. Her intelligence and intuitiveness is wonderful. The scar does not detract from her beauty and the kindness in her eyes, just a wonder to witness. Looking forward to watching the progress.
That was really so good and informative! I really watched her ears, laying back but most of the time normal. When you had her in the corner, I thought oh, here it comes, that she might get upset but she was truly pretty relaxed like not a big deal. A wild horse, that looks calm, for the most part. No kicking, no rearing, and when you put that bag on her face, I could not believe it. Cant wait to see more of her progress.
She may have scars on her hind end, but her confidence says "you should see the other guy" 😂❤
Beautiful mare. She is going so well. Loved seeing your progress and informing us as you go along with her.
Sometimes injuries can be beneficial, as well. I just bought a 2 year old Finnish horse, mare, and she has not been handled or taught a lot, she has been living on the field with older mares. And Finnish horses can be quite difficult, if they have not learned the basics when they are young. They have cold blood and propably also some Russian and Swedish cold blood mixed historically. So we started traininng her, and the first lesson was to leave her alone in the stable, when my Andalusian gelding was ridden. We did not know if the mare had ever been attached to the wall, so she was free and alone a couple of minutes - and she tried to escape, jumped on the wall and got a quite a bad wound in her chest. The vet came and it was very difficult to wash the wound and treat it, and the progress in her training stopped and took some back steps and I had to invent special tools longer than my hand to be able to clean and treat the wound. Luckily the foal is very brave and I was still able to lead the mare to the pasture and back normally, and also make some basic training. So she was not afraid of humans, she was just afraid of pain. But now when the wound has healed a bit (five days after the vet visit) I have been able to make all the necessary treatments without any problems, and I think our relationship is actually much stronger and better now, than before that accident. Because now she really has to trust me! So injuries can have same kind of effect on horses as asking horses lay down, which I have been making a lot as a show rider.
She's absolutely gorgeous in so many ways. Excited to watch more
Such a beautiful brave smart girl! I hope she continues to do so well for you. ❤😊
Really love this mare’s personality, courage & curiosity, lovely choice! ❣️🍀
when i first opened this video i was expecting something bad to happen while you were in there with her because of many videos i see like this the person who is doing the exact same thing, and they will be hitting the horse or something like that and i love that what i was expecting to happen went away instantly and i love that !!! you did an amazing job on this and i would love to see more!!
Hey Ryan my family just got a very green horse as my parents are elderly my sister and I will be doing a majority of the training/riding. Looking forward to using the techniques I’ve watched you use and translate them to our horse!
She's so beautiful and I really love how she trots.
She seems to have a great personality, confident and calm. Nice conformation, too. Looks like a great choice, Ryan.
My first thought before you showed the closeup of the scar was she might have been savaged by a stallion, but that scar is crazy, if a mountain lion had her on the run I could see it grabbing her in its claws and then her showing it a pair of heels.
So looking forward to seeing her progress over the coming weeks.
I love the name Maverick. I’m biased because that was the name of my first horse who was a character and lived to be 36 years old.
Hope you get some better sleep tonight.
Shes doing AMAZING already!! Cant wait to see more.
Beautiful girl❤ can’t wait to see how she comes along!!
She looks like a thoughtful and curious horse. Good pick. Omgosh,the change in your face after a bad night! Poor thing, you looked a wreck!
She so beautiful. Looks like a chocolate brownie with icing sugar. She seems like a real sweetheart too.
What a nice mare!! Reminds me of my last horse! ❤❤
She is smart & confident she'll be good
Given what the word “maverick” means, that’s a solid name for this gal! Very stand-out and independant! Good luck with her! :D
What a great video!! I'm so excited for this series, THANK YOU for sharing it. Ahhh man, you are living dream!! Good name, too, I like it!
