100 Day Mustang Makeover - Rojo’s Journey

Rojo Rogue was my first ever mustang for the Teens and Oregon Mustangs 100 day training challenge. My experience with him taught me so much about training, and even more about never giving up. Hope you enjoy!

you did an amazing job with him!! you can tell that when he stepped on the edge and the block went up that he didn’t really want to do it again, but he tried to for you.

[@victorm7274]

Having zero experience with a horse . I lived in Los Angeles, I road a horse once when I was around 26. I’m 52 now. My family said I was crazy and I couldn’t blame them but I did manage to train my horse(mustang). I admit there were time I thought she was going to kill me. I thought I may have gotten way over my head. It took me forever(2yrs) basically trying to figure out how in the hell am I was going to do this. . We now have 5 mustangs and she’s the most loving horse of them all. I couldn’t imagine not having her .

[@randybarnes6426]

Thank you , for giving RoJo a new life , he is a great boy! Happy for you both. Randy

[@luetkea]

A fella at the barn I volunteer at owns a big red roan gelding from Stinking Water! When I saw that's where this fella came from I did a double take lol. Rojo is beautiful, and you did a wonderful job with him!

[@SnSBath]

You are fearless. That makes all the difference working with these horses.

[@TwistinTops1]

Great Job! I’m thankful you survived the harm he wanted to cause you! After all that, it’d be so hard to let him go! 💜

[@randomuser2212]

You did a great job on him. I think for next time when you train a mustang you should invest in a round pen because I think the majority of the time that he freaked out was because he felt cornered and trapped. A round pen would give you guys enough space for easier training. The horse wouldn't feel as trapped, and you would be able to escape a lot quicker when the horse gets startled. Otherwise good job

[@TheAshleyCalibre]

You have fearless compassion and wonderful patience - love this ❤

[@feelingbetternaturally1099]

Well done! I admire your courage, patience, and persistence. This was not an easy horse to gentle. I love your videography, too!

[@SurfahSistah]

You showed him how great he could be! ❤️🙌

[@isabellareyes9421]

Being a horse trainer is my dream career! That's always been my first job choice.

Nice compilation showing your progress. It was great to see some good and also some struggles. I'm glad you didn't get hurt in the process. You never know what is going to happen at the finale but you handled it with style and humility. I hope others will be inspired by your journey. You've changed lives forever.

[@elizabethparkes9973]

Are you kidding me. You are amazing. I am trying to work with my 3 but its always 2 steps forward 3 back. i am so inspired by this. God bless you!!!

[@niksniff]

Fantastic job and what a beautiful horse 🐎

[@AppleyGirl5280]

Lydia. you did such an incredible job ! This was so wonderful to watch

[@LydiaDederasHorseTraining]

Of course! Glad you enjoyed! Can’t wait to pick up the next one in two weeks!

[@angiededera7956]

Such an amazing journey!! You did an outstanding job with Rojos! He loves you!

[@LydiaDederasHorseTraining]

Thank you!

[@publictoilet1970]

Yes Rojo loved and respected her.

[@lindasylvester8993]

Amazing transformation. Congratulations on a job well done.

[@k.h.7575]

Wow. How well you did! ♥️ This horse is so beautiful and powerful 😍

[@maureenstringer4362]

I can’t believe you did such a great job on Rojo, what a loose cannon he was in the beginning. I love his strong powerful looks. I kept feeling on edge almost right to the end that he was going to explode but your brave handling of him won the day. I’m very impressed. 😁👍

[@KatariinaAlongi]

When you say loose cannon, I believe you mean extremely afraid. Imagine training horses without causing them intense fear over and over again.

[@maureenstringer4362]

It’s an expression conveying his intense fear (understandably )plus the danger to his trainer.

[@4244NaturalBridge]

Loose cannon, what did you think he was going to act like at first?

[@vanityfair5823]

I'm proud of you and Rojo. He sure gave you his all.

[@lars1480]

That was on The edge could have gone very bad, but hat of you did a very good job 😊

[@hisamhisam4421]

[@lauraalbertson7821]

Every time I watch a Wild Mustang being tamed , I cry . You are no exception Fantastic job . Courage beyond measure! Bless you … wonderful video. Your fan , Laura 🌟🐴😇

[@lisawilson3360]

What a beautiful relationship you built with that horse fabulous

[@lindacooper4893]

What a great talent you have and at such a young age, you will go far, but please be careful. You really are very brave ❤❤ love from Australia

[@hannahdivic28]

Incredible job!!!! This is what I want to do in the next year or tao

[@drcornelius8275]

I have to say that was amazing! You're a brave woman working with horses so powerful and untamed when you start. I know nothing about horses, but even I can recognize your skill and dedication involved with training. Cheers!

[@LydiaDederasHorseTraining]

Thank you!

[@John-qh8id]

Trust sometimes a hard thing to learn no matter what kind of animal you are .

[@ronaldpetterson4226]

Was für ein schönes Tier, Respekt das du keine Angst hast, das Pferd hat solche Kräfte ....even beautiful Girl at all

[@cindyferguson8855]

Greetings....from the Western North Carolina Mountains...! So glad that your video was in my "youtube recommend list".....you did an excellent job with such a wonderful mustang ! I'm very impressed with the skills he learned from you....way to go...!! Thanks for sharing your journey....Lots of good luck and success to you with your future in the horse world ! Cindy

[@LydiaDederasHorseTraining]

Lovely to meet you Cindy! Thanks so much!

[@rodandjudibowen5665]

Beautiful story beautifully presented! 🥰

[@larissatoth]

Absolutely incredible!

[@coyoteclockworkstudios3140]

That is a gorgeous horse! His topline and head are both great. Mustangs always train up so well.

[@jimbo91262]

Sensational job you did with him. He was no cupcake to begin with. Great heart of bravery and perseverance you have. Bravo!!

[@joehayward2631]

You did a awesome work, all of the mustang 100 day trainers. Mustang coloring so nice

[@kathyeller1621]

I love that you show the rough parts too

[@gmariet1391]

I was afraid for you in the beginning of the video . I didn't want to hurt your feelings and say what I thought , " you seem more brave than smart " 😂 but one thing for sure you're of equal spirit and I'm sure glad you weren't hurt . I've watched many videos where young women usually adopt mustangs and do the 100 day challenge. I felt like they would advise you to be safer also. I admire your courage and hope you are never hurt ! 😊🙏♥️🌿🐎the horse was and is beautiful ! From first glance looked like a nice one .💯

[@davidlj53]

That’s a powerhouse, he was a little twitchy at first but you got him settled. We’ll done! Love his color.

[@drakehunter5174]

Amazing! Excellent job! Be proud of what u did!!

[@joshlawrence1073]

Wow is all i can say. Fantastic work.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Wow - you were braver at the start than I would have been, working him in that small enclosed area. 😳

[@lynneley1883]

Just a matter of time before she is hurt

[@michellebodjanac1709]

That's what I'm thinking too. A round pen would be much safer. I've trained horses too so I'm not just saying an opinion. A jumpy especially aggressive horse needs space to work with. I was quite worried for her!

[@cccampbell5095]

I was crying watching this video-thanks for sharing! ❤

[@gailstoddard4802]

Beautiful Well Done God bless you Both

[@LydiaDederasHorseTraining]

Thank you! You too!

[@susanverhoeven4962]

Amazing job. Talented horse.

[@michaelshields1276]

Great story and thank you for sharing it! I was wondering how you made your video journal. I'm starting to train a mustang and would like to capture some of the key progress moments. I can set up in my training arena if I know best equipment. Do you mind sharing what you used? Thank you.

[@josiahdedera6926]

As her husband, I can tell you that she just propped her iPhone up on walls for a camera and used Apple iMovie as as her editing software. Good Luck!

[@davemcnamee2298]

I've started and trained a lot of untouched horses in my day, some of them pretty 'snorty' like Rojo there. You have guys, and determination for sure. I was very impressed. My hats off to you! You're a credit to horse trainers every where.

[@davemcnamee2298]

That should be guys and determination!

[@davemcnamee2298]

Damn spell check. Guts!

[@LydiaDederasHorseTraining]

Thank you very much!

[@TammySaj]

Great job, he's gorgeous ❤

[@afoxinthewoods]

Gorgeous, both of you! Love it. Absolutely amazing.

[@SundayCMS]

You did amazing young lady! WOW.

[@sandrakarls8466]

Maybe I´m wrong but it looked like at the beginning he was all alone without any other horse arround or was it just the camera make you belive that? In my opinion, tying him on a tree was not the best option for grasing and dangerous. Couldn´t you take a mobile fence? But you did an amazing job not giving up. Look what he is now! Wonderful horse with the chance, to be someone´s companion for ever!

[@danielabaumann1165]

I never could sell a Horse after 100 Days, with such a great Horse. Would break my Heart.

[@mariannekaminski5795]

You are an amazing horse gentler

❤You done A Awesome Job with this Horse..You was not Afraid of him.. very Impressive..& you looked great Doing it.. $9,000.00 A Good Price..for the Horse..your Know how to Train Wild Horses? Priceless.🍀😀👻

[@suzanneyorkville]

that was beautiful to watch.

[@rising_waves]

0:53 that was very unnecessary and immature to: 1. Get so close to him head to head 2. Screaming and whipping him when he said: stay away Then 10 days after he is still kicking and biting. I would suggest to try this, first week. Don't have a whip with him. Don't stand and approach him. Sit down on the ground and just be with him. Don't ask him to do anything. Just connect heart to heart. You will be amazed to see how he may approach you, sniff you on his own on a day 2

[@donnasmith9939]

What a great job.

[@chrisusher7144]

Don't envy you at the beginning. Very reactive wow. I have two one 7 mo's. From Albany horse expo now she's 6 and her buddy I got her Mari mair 11 bother so awsom mustangs

[@annjohnson4073]

Your lucky he didn’t hurt you very badly. Way to small an area for your safety

[@jefferyschirm4103]

It would be interesting to see one broke , doing the four leg stake out and hand messaged until they guit trembling and relax on day one then day two same but put a saddle and bridle on , hand petting until they give , day three same but mount on an off till they relax , day four same , then ride ?!

[@jakemcnutt7712]

Great job!!

[@chrisusher7144]

All that crazy jumping how did you ever get the nerve spooky you could go for a fast bumpy ride 🖐️😮.

Beautiful ❤

[@laxdrew9]

Nice job, hes beautiful

[@rockingredpoppy9119]

A lot of mistakes in the beginning of this video; backing Rojo into a corner, letting him back you into a corner, striking out at the horse after your mistakes. You put yourself in a dangerous situation over and over. Hopefully you learned from this experience.

[@LeandroWalker]

Nice 😘

[@auri3444]

How did you get into horse training?

[@Мухаммед-з1в]

Обоем спасибо за интересную работу

[@nobitsnoshoes]

like how you don't just go for the face first touch. see too many on here that just can't stay off a mustangs face. really love that i didn't see a bit. they are so unnecessary.
