34-Day Baby Horse Transformation & Name Announcement!

[@archeanna1425]

She's gorgeous and obviously has a lovely personality. She's going to be a lot of fun. Mesa is a perfect name for her.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@peterronning5922]

Never would have thought I'd be watching a half hour video about training a horse. But, I did watch it and I enjoyed it. It sure looks like there's a lot of patience required of both parties.

[@MTN_BUILT]

We appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed!! Lots of patience and trust for both ☺️

[@cactuspatti405]

Love these half drafts. We raise them & mules. Always sweet and eager to learn. ❤ cant wait to see her blossom

[@MTN_BUILT]

That’s awesome! Can’t beat half drafts and mules!! We are excited for her to be three and be riding her in the mountains haha! ☺️

[@mikek1090]

Positive training with positive behavior makes more positive horse.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Agreed! ☺️ but also having boundaries and being firm when needed (not mean) some people can’t differentiate the two lol.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

It's intriguing to see that babies, no matter animal or human, we all want to taste and, most specifically, feel through the mouth to 'see' what materials, etc are about. Since it is about new things, learning through the mouth in combination with all other senses, curiosity is so important. Most think it's been done because they may want to eat it, but it is all a learning curve. Of course, you do not let them go out of control with the eating part. It, too, has balance. It's great to see her already so comfortable around the both of you! 👌

[@MTN_BUILT]

I think you are spot on! They just want to sort out their world! Thats why we aren’t too hard on her about it, but do set boundaries because she would start using teeth if we didn’t watch it lol ☺️

[@AlmaVidaHorseRanch]

How special to have a young horse with a “clean slate” and no trauma ❤ Thanks for sharing! 🩵

[@MTN_BUILT]

SOOOO NICE! Lol we enjoy taking the ones that have some troubles and getting them to trust again like cedar, Josey and especially Reata.. but a clean slate is so much easier to build trust quickly! ☺️☺️❤️

[@R.Kubler]

Mesa... what a GREAT name for her!!! I love what y'all are doing & how you're doing it!! I had mentioned a much different name but I like Mesa better! She's definitely level-headed! Like a Mesa! Will enjoy watching her grow & develop. Thanks for bringing us along for the journey!! ❤

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much!! So glad you love the name! We think it fits her well and she is the color of the sun hitting a mesa! ☺️☺️

[@genewileyopa]

She is a loving girl for sure. She's in a good home.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Very sweet to see how far you have already brought Mesa along and looking forward to learning and enjoying your future video’s💖Mesa is adorable💝

[@Jennifer35678]

Hi Jason and Alyssa! Mesa suits her. 😊 I was so impressed with how well she is taking to her training, especially with her feet work and stepping over the rock bench. Great job, both for you! Thank you for the video and God bless! 🙏😊❤

[@MTN_BUILT]

Haha thank you so much! Her gangly legs when she stepped over that bench lol too cute! She has so much growing into herself to do ❤️ thank you!!

[@stephaniedustin5059]

Thank you!!

[@dianabrown833]

Your little filly is so cute. Aurora would have been a good name with all the colors she has. Like that you keep you animals forever! Me too!!

[@MTN_BUILT]

That is really cute! ☺️

[@johnwyman5939]

She's definitely getting big and has a pretty winter coat . Love the interaction, nicely done on training her.. Pretty nice name, I'd have to say... Nice job on video.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻🫏🫏🐴

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thanks John!! We appreciate that! ☺️ she is fluffy, and itchy! Haha

[@marktaylor8263]

I like her name. I really enjoy watching you guys work with her and your herd members. Nice and slow, Alyssa has a real talent, and Jason, you also. I'm looking forward to more content. Great job, 👍👍👍

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much! We do our best to keep learning ☺️ each equine teaches us something different!

[@KentLutz-x9b]

Welcome Mesa, She's beautiful. She seems to be very calm and her confidence is coming along.

[@MTN_BUILT]

She had a super awesome mind and was always treated well (just wasn’t handled that much) so she’s been a really easy girl ☺️

[@maxmillion4216]

Mesa going to be a very pretty horse this summer.

[@MTN_BUILT]

We think so! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@ronmetcalf1972]

When I had a choice I chose Cheyenne but when you said you all chose Mesa I was glad. You're right. A shorter name is good for an animal. Look forward to watching her grow!

[@MTN_BUILT]

Jason was decided on Cheyenne but tried it out for a couple days and didn’t like how long it was haha he put a lot of thought into it and finally we all settled on Mesa ☺️ I think it fits her! Thank you for watching!!

[@trcass1]

such a sweet little filly. i absolutely love her color. going to be interesting to see how she turns as she gets older. thanks for sharing.

[@MTN_BUILT]

It is! We are so curious if she will keep that coloring! ☺️ thank you for watching!

[@waqasbajwa3006]

As a grandson of a farmer and lover of all animals and everybody for that matter, you guys are my fav's on youtube now. I really enjoyed all of your videos that i've watched till now and i'm so looking forward and praying for your amazing future. Peace and love from a friend in Pakistan 🙏

[@MTN_BUILT]

That's so kind of you to say, thank you so much! 🙏 It really means a lot to us 😊

[@wendy6781]

She is such a pretty little girl and smart. Mesa suits her. She is enjoying all the lovin' and scratches.

[@salla8793]

I absolutely love all of this. Personally I've come a long way to learn to treat horses more fairly, and nowadays my go-to especially with shy horses is always positive reinforcement, and calmness. Food is a powerful motivator, but of course you have to teach the horse to not invade your space to get rewards first. I am very happy to see that when getting her comfortable with handling and feet, you are not flooding her and "waiting for her to give up", but actively trying not to cross that treshold of "oh no, this is too much for me, I have to react". That is what proper desensitizing is, not chasing your horse around until they give up! This is the first video I see from your channel btw, and usually I am a bit sceptical of the approach of western (and many other) people. So many talk about breaking the horses and want to cause these big reactions so they can have the excuse to shut them down. What you are doing is much more kind and fair to the little filly! Good luck with her, she's a cutie!

[@salla8793]

It is also so funny to see that what you do with the feet is essentially the same thing I do with my dogs. Especially my female greyhound was very scared of clipping nails when she came to me at 6 years old, almost a year ago. I was careful to not flood her or force her, kept my hold of her paws light so the pressure would not bother so much, and just petted her and remained calm myself. With sighthounds i have noticed how big of a difference your own mentality makes to things. Now, she almost falls asleep when i clip her nails, and comes to me on her own when I have the clippers in hand. Amazing what a calm and reinforcing approach can do to trust!

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much for the kind words 😊 We’re really enjoying working with our youngsters. It’s such a rewarding process and hopefully we’ll just keep learning and improving as we go 🙏🏼😊

[@AbbyDafoe]

You know your horses the same day as my birthday my birthday is April the 8th of it was a long long time ago I'm so proud for your horse and turning 10 suit so I'm not right now 9

[@MTN_BUILT]

That’s awesome her birthday is the same as yours! ☺️☺️

[@SusanMccutchen-Smith]

She reminds me of the first foal that I raised. She was born in our pony lot. Her whinny was so high-pitched that I named her Piccolo. She was a stout girl because her sire was a foundatoin type QH & her dam was a medium pony. She loved her rump scratched & would come flying when she saw me & back up to the gate for a good scratch session. She scared a lot of visitors that way. 😂😂😂

[@MTN_BUILT]

Hahaha that’s awesome! Our mules do the same thing 😂🙌🏼

[@ashleighh0799]

She looks so much like my mare Gypsy!

[@MTN_BUILT]

Oh that’s awesome! What kind of horse is Gypsy?? Do you know what she looked like as a baby?

[@ashleighh0799]

@ I don’t know what she looked like at that age, the seller said she’s a grade quarter horse when I bought her but they got her from someone that got her from an auction so she could be anything really.

[@steventhomas8964]

I love how she’s turned out thus far! I learned quite a bit so I’m excited. I’m looking forward to more. Can you make a playlist like you did for Josey please? Can you tell me what product you use to teach her to tie? I tried replaying the video but couldn’t understand the name. Great choice of name!

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you for watching!! Yes I almost made one tonight since we have 2 videos about her already ☺️ I’ll definitely make one! It’s called a Blocker Tie Ring! They are so awesome, if your equine sets back they can pull through it but it’s not easy enough that the rope slides if they are just messing around a little. It can help them from panicking and hurting themselves ☺️👍🏼

[@steventhomas8964]

@ great thank you so much! I’ve learned a lot from your videos!

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

The importance of safe early familiarization with so many novel sights, sounds, smells, and being handled all over just can't be emphasized enough. It's the same with dogs as puppies. More fun, safe experiences tend to create low to no bad reactivity later. Having said that, it is entirely possible to desensitize and familiarize at a later age. It's just easier now. She is like uh, um, sidewalk? Weird on ma toes. Miss Mesa 🌻🌼🏵 Yesss, like the name.

[@MTN_BUILT]

So important! I agree with you 100% Haha she wasn’t sure about touching that concrete with her back hooves 😂❤️ thank you!!

[@maslynl.6258]

She seems like a Smokey buckskin to me, so long as she doesn’t grey out

[@MTN_BUILT]

Yeah! That’s what we think too! Smokey/sooty but so curious if she will go grey!

[@pawsandhooves-l2s]

Newborn photos are the best to go by to know what colour the foal is. So she is a buckskin. With a grey mum, she might grey out as she ages but it didn’t look like she’s going to by the newborn photo. The first shed is always the darkest. I’m no expert, but this is just what I’ve learned over the years.

[@MTN_BUILT]

That would be awesome! Her silver that’s come in looks like roaning almost and is definitely part of her coat, I don’t think she will loose it with her summer coat. The hair underneath on her rear where it’s lighter almost looks like that grey/buckskin she was as a newborn. Haha we are definitely curious!! ☺️ thank you!

[@jackielanglois8945]

She is gorgeous! Is she going to be shaggy furred?? She has one white foot! She wanders how about Gypsy??

[@MTN_BUILT]

She might have a little feathering on her feet, but that’s just her thick winter coat! ☺️

[@GlendaFoxhlove-n9f]

My guess white or flea bitten coat for color i could be wrong.

[@MTN_BUILT]

Looks like you saw it! ☺️ we are curious if she will go grey like her mama

[@april5666]

Too bad she wasn’t a gelding because the name Grizzly would have suited her current multi-coloured coat. She is so pretty and you have done a wonderful job teaching her about her new world. I suspect given she has already shown different colours at different times of year that her colour will change along with the seasons: she might end up as the horse of many colours, from The Wizard of Oz. Mesa has landed in a good home and I’m excited to see her grow up with such kind partners. :)

[@MTN_BUILT]

Thank you so much!! We are so curious if she will shed back our dark, she has that silver (almost roaning) coming in that we think she will keep. But we have no idea lol thank you for watching!!

[@erikhoff5010]

Patches sounds like a good name for her. Looks like she is searching your hands for carrots or sugar cubes.

[@MTN_BUILT]

lol Mesa was just exploring like babies do. She doesn’t know what treats are yet.

[@sabresix7933]

Sooty buckskin maybe? Just a guess. But she gonna be a solid girl me thinks

If not, I would reach out to local ffa chapters at other schools in your area and ask if there is anyway to get involved. I did both ffa and 4-h and they are great. If neither is an you could reach out to local farmers or ranchers in your area and see if they need a hand after school. ☺️👍🏼
