He had a heart of gold. This young couple who so very successfully trained their two Mustangs are to be commended for their dedication and hard work. The buyer of High Plains Drifter was smart to ask the trainer and his wife to keep the Mustang for another year. A Win Win situation.

Folks, a snaffle bit in the mouth is the very, very least detrimental experience most of these horses have or will ever go through. These horses we "meet" in these makeover competitions are the "lucky ones" . They get to become amazing working horses, companion animals or pets. Most of their other herd mates just barely exists in BLM holding pens or are shipped off to Mexico and Canada to be slaughtered for human consumption in Asia and Europe. So, please, bits are the least of the worries here! If anyone commenting here can do better, put yourself up to the challenge of completely transforming a wild horse in three months. Do it bit less or bridle less as some of these competitors have. Best of luck to you!

jennifer sawyer Well said. I love animals and have adopted and trained many different animals in my life. It seems that a lot of people have began this "holier than thou" attitude when it comes to animals. The funny thing is that a lot of them are just keyboard cowboys and know very little or nothing at all about the actual tasks at hand. There is no magic wand that trains a horse or other animal and training has become so much kinder, gentler and smarter than it has been in years past. Instead of know it alls telling everyone how things should be done, they should be doing them themselves. The best thing to say to these people that are volunteering their time and expertise would simply be "Thank You".

I agree with you a loose ring snaffle is super gentle in the mouth. Not sure why people are being so negative. I thought these horses did great. I was sad that rambler got hurt. It makes me sad to read that Canada is still part of the horse slaughter trade. I thought we would be better than that kind of behaviour. SIDEBBAR - if they did bitless and used a hackmore that could be more detrimental to the horse and give it problems.

I love the Mustangs, all horses. But if i was able to do this....there probably would be many I would keep just because i would get very attached to them, depending upon their disposition or heart. These trainers know what they are doing with their horses entrusted to them.....HIGH 5 to them and God bless their efforts for their part in helping to keep the Mustangs from becoming another statistic of destruction and death. I'm with them on this matter. Training horses isn't an easy matter, it requires a lot of patience, love, and most of all building a trust between you and your horse. Horses are very sensitive and can sense fear or anything else emotional coming from you....I know because i was around one which did so and he was a 4 yr old Appaloosa stud colt and loved to run. God bless these trainers and their efforts to help keep the Mustangs from becoming destroyed or killed. HIGH 5 to all the trainers.

To gain more security in the saddle, practice figure eights, bend, straight down the center, bend the opposite. Do serpentines, spiral in, spiral out. Transitions. Walk to trot, to Whoa, to trot off, turn, straighten halt, walk off. Keep the heel long, without clothespinning your thighs. When you get tense, your horse thinks you have spotted something, they haven't, they don't know you're worried about what they might do. So get out out of your head.

Karoline Arnii if you’re using bits for pain then you shouldn’t be riding. If you know how use a bit properly it shouldn’t be painful whatsoever and there’s are so many types of bits out there you have to know which one works well with you and your horse together. I use bits on my one gelding but never have I yanked on him I only use slight signals and neck-rein. You can’t assume bits are bad when you probably don’t know all the types of bits out there. Bits aren’t abusive, it’s the people behind that don’t know how to use it that make it cruel.

I feel like if he spent more time on groundwork and trust before ever even putting a saddle on his back, he'd be having a bit better time once he actually started saddle training. Like with the bit part (where I am now in this video) he should have been teaching his horse to lower his head for the bit instead of fighting to get it in his mouth. I think that's one of the only things I don't like about these competitions, given only 100 odd days to gentle and saddle train can be hard, you feel rushed and some do rush, like getting on them to start the saddle work before the horse has complete trust in you or before the horse is ready or has a solid foundation on the ground. Then, after the competition, the new owner has issues or doesn't know how to deal with some of the things, sometimes thinking they have a fully broke and trained horse. With some of the amazing things the trainers can do with their mustangs its easy for the new owner to forget the horse is very green and they should continue working with a trainer if they aren't used to green horses. Every horse is different, though, and this video shows it well, her horse seems pretty easy (so far) and his needs more time. Basically, if you do this competition, listen to your horse and do right by that horse, so you give them the best start and chance in their new life. Edit: Have now finished the video and am very happy that the new owner wanted to get more training on him
