Aw, sorry you're disappointed. I would be too. But from the outside I think you and Zurreal did great! You've taken a wild horse who could've really freaked out, even to the point of being dangerous, and all that happened was a little stage fright. This is a first for both of you and you're doing great. For what it's worth I'm proud of you! :) *hugs* I appreciate you filming and sharing this with us. I'm not in a position to ride right now but you're videos are inspiring and encourage me to keep fighting to get back in the saddle one day.

[@imzadi83fanvids7]

@Evalyn Mcfarland (STUDENT) Me you mean? I have a chronic illness and am unable to work or even drive right now. My mother usually drives me places but we're caregiving for my Dad and so have to hire someone to watch him when we go out which is expensive. So I don't go out much. Also over the years I've racked up some medical debt for both myself and my late dog I'm trying to pay off which is tough since my only income right now is SSDI. Thank you for the well wishes though. I hope to get things under control enough to ride again someday.

[@lynnes11]

Wow...what an emotional rollercoaster! Wanting it to go better than it did....yup, that's competing with a horse for ya. You win some you lose some, at the end of the day you just have to be proud of your own progress, proud of any "win" you had with your horse (no bucking with the trot transition!), thankful that you didn't get hurt, and remember that there is always next time

[@ccappa2001]

I love how positive Marina is, I would have been really sad for a while. But she kept it positive. Thank you for inspiring me to keep going in tough spots

[@californiacowgirl]

"it's one of those days...I know them well" We all do! Don't sweat it!

[@jenmiller5303]

You were in chat! I saw u there

[@piggypalsminionmartin865]

The thing is look at how great she’s become with humans in general, you use to not be able to get close to her now you can load, saddle, pick up her feet, brush her, and pet her she’s come so far and that arena seemed really scary you did amazing for your first show with a horse you trained from day one!!!!!! We are so proud of you!!❤️🐴🐎

[@RebeccahRodriguez]

You did amazing

[@maddalenahylton]

Seeing all of this footage makes me miss being there🥺I had such a good time I was so sad to leave. It was truly the experience of a lifetime. I understand 100% what you said about being disappointed. None of my classes with my my filly went as expected. We placed second to last in our trail routine with stuff that she would do back at home with no qualms. She wouldn’t load in H&C either, and we ran out of time in Freestyle to do everything we wanted. So, I totally get feeling that. It’s also so hard not to compare yourself in that environment to everyone else and their horses. It took me a good few days to accept that what happened happened, and I know still that my horse is a rockstar no matter what🤍 The whole goal of this was to train a wild pony- and that’s exactly what we did! You TAMED a wild mustang. That’s a huge accomplishment no matter what girl! I’m so proud of you and Zurreal🤎🐴

[@kenna_c]

Wow! That’s amazing that you were able to participate in such an amazing event! I really want to do it one day but don’t have space right now. I’m hoping to build a larger barn in a few years.

[@maddalenahylton]

@@kenna_c Thsnk you! It truly was the most challenging yet rewarding thing I’ve ever done. If you have the space and the experience to work with young/dangerous horses DO IT. It will be so hard sometimes you just want to stop, but you end up getting a partner and best friend for life out of it🥰🐴Mustangs officially have my heart now🤎

[@kenna_c]

@@maddalenahylton i’ve trained 1 colt and 1 gelding. I ended up keeping both but I only have a 5 stall barn and 5 horses so for now I don’t have enough room for more but I really want to expand soon.

[@maddalenahylton]

@@kenna_c oh my gosh I wasn’t doubting your skills at all! I think you would do amazing with a mustang. I just mentioned that because some people sign up for the Makeover without knowing what they were getting themselves into😅I hope you end up being able to do one girl!!!

[@kenna_c]

@@maddalenahylton Haha i was just explaining how i have a little bit of experience but not a lot, def wasn’t taking it as you doubting me lol!

[@cksongwriter8216]

I can totally understand your disappointment. When you put everything you have into something and it doesn't go as planned, it's a hard. However, the two of you actually did great! You both gave your best and that's perfect!

[@brinleighlimon2741]

Omg I can’t wait!! She has made so much progress and I can’t wait to see Zurreal in action!!🐴🐴

[@Soso-dr5sb]

Even though it did not go as planned, you should be incredibly proud of yourself and Zurreal!! You guys have come so far and you have done a fantastic job with her, truly. She is a lucky mare to have an incredible horse person like you! Great job! 👏

[@elizabethequestrian]

I just watched it!! You did awesome for your first time,I do hunter and that is how my first show went😥 I was in a walk trot class. It okay tho

[@clayknobfarms8069]

I can’t wait! I love Zurreal! ❤️❤️

[@Savchenkofamily]

You did so good! If I where you I would have probably fainted of being so nervous, Good job both of you!

[@taylorcoleman7599]

i totally know that feeling of defeat. i used to blame everything on my horse but i have learned to work it out as a team and watch videos to find my mistakes. you did a really good job. i love your videos!

[@bridgettritle2288]

You guys did great! Even though it didn’t go as planned, your still winners. Horses don’t always want to do what u want them to do, and you probably know, that’s equestrian life. I’m so proud of you guys!

[@hannahgaskamp2509]

Can't wait to see what happens it's killing me 🤠🐎🐴

[@leilanieq4650]

Sad I missed the premiere! You and Camille did a great job with her! Definitely gonna miss her! Hopefully you’ll do the mustang makeover next year! I think I’m going!

[@ESmith7070]

I can’t wait to watch this video! I hope “This Did Not Go As Planned” is in a good way, not a bad way. Like, someone bought her!

Ahh! I can’t wait I need to know how it went!

Omg! In the thumbnail she looks absolutely beautiful. I know you and Camille did an amazing job on her!

[@Rociero1991]

I hope you have the ability to be both disappointed with the result on the day and proud of what you have achieved at the same time - both are completely valid emotions to experience after this journey. I am so grateful that I've gotten to watch this, and I really enjoy your voice over style in the videos training and working with Zurreal. Keep up the good work!

[@ms.horselover2569]

Hey!! Sadly I'll be at the barn when this is going on! Can't wait to see it after tho!

[@sierra6694]

Though u did not win you and zurreal we’re always a winner in everyone’s hearts even ur competitors

[@serennathorsen9125]

You are so brave!! I love seeing your journey with both of your horses. I love how honest you are and down to earth about the reality of life. I also love that you are not afraid to tell us about the good and the bad when trying new things! It can be so easy to feel like a failure in the horse world when it seems like everyone else is succeeding, but in reality, that just isn’t true. For your first “show” and mustang makeover, I think you did AMAZING! Thank you for being brave and continuing to do what you love despite the social pressures. 💜 You are a huge encouragement to me.

[@clarehyslop699]

Can’t wait ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HeatherStrickler]

Just wanted to let you know you are awesome! So proud of you and Zurreal!You guys have come so far! I know you're dissappointed but if the competition was just based on how far you and Zurreal had come I think you guys would win lol I'm really happy you decided to share your journey with us because there aren't very many equestrian youtubers that have videos of literally their first EMM. It was great to see where you started and I hope that you'll try again now that you've gotten some experience. I really want to do an EMM soon and this helped me a lot to realize that who cares if I win or make the top ten. It's about helping the horse and growing as a trainer. Thanks so much for being so open and sharing the good and hard times. ❤️

[@FluxyMiniscus]

Aww Marina, I feel for you! I was watching the handling and conditioning, and thought that you were really close to getting her relaxing and cooperative. However, that adrenaline is a tricky thing, especially if you aren’t accustomed to showing. Zurreal looked fantastic, (I love the photo of her in the English tack!) and you were able to learn so much from her…the bond and trust she had in you was apparent. IMHO you made wise choices for the good of your horse during the competition, which is to be commended. Z learned a lot from you, and you from her…a rich learning experience for sure! I look forward to seeing you work with your next Mustang!

[@GypsyEquestrian]

Thank you so much!! ❤️

[@nilagamblin2149]

Also yoshi got second place! I loved her routine it was amazing!!

[@carolynstewart8465]

You remained calm and patient . Lucky horse!

Awww u are not a failure!!! U are awesome awesome awesome horse girl! And youtuber! Congrats on everything!!!!!!!!!❤️😁

[@salamaalghurair7659]

stayed up till 1am for this 😂

[@madmadsens4857]

I can 100% understand! You did so great! Even though you were nervous you still did your very best, and in the end Zurreals cute face makes everything worth it ❤️❤️❤️

[@riverstormstables533]

Ooooh I can't wait!! Time, please go faster! 🤣😂🤠☺️😉🐾🐴🐎

[@legendaryflite904]

Good luck 🍀

[@mlynn1240]

You’ve done an awesome job with Zurreal, and I’m so glad I could watch your journey. I love how you took the challenge and never gave up. It’s been so fun to watch you both grow, and I’m so happy for you! Even if the makeover didn’t go as planned, you have made a big difference in this mare’s life!

[@Trump-ze2xb]

Hey, you have a Clinton Anderson halter! I have one too! I love it. It’s by far the best halter ever! Good job with Zurreal! She did amazing! You too! I hope you do it again next year!

[@calliew8587]

It's my dream to do what your doing. I just want you to know how inspiring you are to me.

[@katelynhoerle4376]

Proud of you and Zurreal, Marina! You guys sure accomplished a LOT in a short amount of time. Also your show shirt is SO CUTE!

[@GypsyEquestrian]

Thank you Katie!! ❤️

[@HeavensGateHorsemanship]

Ive had days like that... We all do!! You did absolutely amazing! The point is you never gave up!

[@lukewiebe4212]

oh I feel so bad for you! But good job for having a good attitude! You really did do awesome! I love your attitude to keep trying! Don't give up!

[@vixlin]

I cannot believe that ive been watching you from before you got Zurreal, it feels like I just started watching you! You did so good, and so did Zurreal. She tried her absolute best! ❤️❤️

[@penelope.j.010]

I know right!

[@katesteler887]

You and Zurreal have done so well together! It’s been a long journey but you both have come so far! I’m sad to see her go but I know she will go to a great home 🥰 Goodbye…….. Zurreal.

[@maddierogers6184]

I’m so invested in your journey with zurreal 💗

[@tamarabrunson3897]

Y’all did awesome even tho she didn’t go in the trailer or would let you pick up her hooves y’all looked amazing and I hope the best for Zurreal!!❤️❤️

[@equestrian_girl1306]

My sis had a show once and it wasn’t the best experience for her her horse went lame and the horse that was her back up horse was scared of wind and it was a very windy dayBut we all said she handled it very well and I felt really bad because that day I got a champion award and I felt like she was upset because I got one and she did it but I had to say you did very well she still scarred to do a show but I know she’s so strong and she’s gonna do it again this is what I’m saying to you you got this everyone makes mistakes it’s human you just have to brush it off and do it again! I love you and you got this❤️

[@jimmyjames8122]

that baby donkey was adorable!❤😢

[@evecory8946]

If it's any consolation at all. My domesticated horse would not have coped being put in a round pen and left for me to catch her. You honestly should be so incredibly proud of yourselves. Don't forget where Zurreal came from, how she started and where she is now. It's understandable to feel dissapointed and that's ok. But just take the time to remember the start of the journey and how far you've come. Great job both of you! X

[@ilovegypsyequestrian4004]

Wow you and zurreal have grow. So much

[@hannahdavids1101]

She did ok! Good job!

[@legendaryflite904]

Yaaaaaaaaay

[@inspiredclips8245]

I understand that you are disappointed and my bouncy excited congratulations on doing such a hard thing may be better said later, but I was excited watching her and I was no less proud, because you risked and let us be a part of the journey so we saw how you have both changed. We know she can do so many things well! In my heart of hearts it would be so God sized if because of her score that someone could aford to purchase she and the horse from Triple B. Family is everything to them. How can I see how this turns out sooner lol. Oh! and the horses at the Therapeutic Riding Center react to our white paper hand outs, and Rick Gore's Mustang Mr. T has been sacked out too and startled when Rick had a white notebook during "The story of Buddy and Mr. T", I think it would be a helpful constructive matter to bring to their attention...that made so much sense that that bothered her, never mind the unfamiliar humans in the arena. I'm convinced this is going to turn out well. My genuine admiration and care, Laural

[@itscoco806]

Omg I can not wait

[@AvaCalhoun]

You did AMAZING. Zurreal did AMAZING. there are so many people that will be more then happy to buy zurreal because she truly did great! every horse has there quirks, and zurreal’s is no where near as bad as some other horses. I am so impressed by you and the work you’ve done for sweet zurreal :) keep on keepin on!! 😊💗

[@cyflym11]

I agree. I can think of a couple of horses at our yard who wouldn't behave that well (and one of them is mine LOL).

[@calliecampbell3041]

You did so amazing Marina!!! Love you and Zurri so much!!! Incredible pair!!!

You have really expired me because lately I’ve had a lot open now am I riding journey but in this video showed even though you may not have done the best you pull it together and was happy with your progress. Thanks so much for making your videos.

[@abdulhafeez1265]

you may not won the show according to the judges but to us you are a gold medelist

[@theequestriandreamer2020]

I have absolutely loved following your journey with zurreal she has made sooo much progress! You have inspired me to finally get the courage to make my own channel called horse adventures it is about my adventures with my horse Dakota but there isn’t much on there yet

[@katearcher8881]

Girl! You both did amazing! Don’t let small things discourage you. I mean she was a wild mustang and you both made a wonderful progress!

[@EliannaCH]

She's such a beautiful horse, I think if I got her I would turn her into a western pleasure/horsemanship or trail horse she looks great!

[@LynneDemonQueen1]

I know and understand your disappointment but honestly, you did phenomenal for your 1st mustang and 1st competition. I'm so proud of you! Xo

[@Kinleyhope]

Wow, zurreal is doing great! I know its disappointing but its your first mustang and you did great and learned so much!!

[@ArtsyFarm]

just breathe and take a look back at how far you have come with her. She's doing great and has come a long way from that wild horse that had never been touched. you may not have done as good as everyone else but you two did good for YOU. She takes things slower and is a bit more cautious of things and that's ok, you never know maybe she really has seen that bear-eating horse that all the others swear is in that shadow on the ground. :)

[@joseysadewhite9373]

You and Zurreal did great!!!

[@elawler2460]

Hey, I feel your pain 100%. I am also entered in a training challenge, only with rescue horses instead of mustangs. The horse I was paired with has had setbacks and bad days- more than I can count. Been bucked off with my ego hurt more than my body, you know? I totally get what you're going through. All I can say is that when it comes to training, one horse, one show, one day, doesn't define your whole training career. Which you probably already know, but it doesn't hurt to hear it one more time. In my opinion you've done well with her.

[@GypsyEquestrian]

Thank you! It definitely doesn’t hurt to hear one more time! feel free to repeat yourself whenever you want to stop by 😂 I really do appreciate that! I hope your challenges goes well! Was that the Appalachian trainer face off?

[@Pocothepony]

You and Zurreal did amazing!! She has come so far!❤️

[@Marlenelbell]

So proud of you for doing this and pushing past fear.

Awwwwwww zerreals maybe baby was super cute

[@LayllasLocker]

She did well! ^.^ If I had to perform something in the arena I'd also be scared. And I have been around people for 36 years. :D This whole process of taming her I saw in one night and all I can say is congratz lady!

You did so good! Your did not fail. I am really going to miss the updates on her she is so cute

[@kimberleyjanemcnab5343]

Omg it’s such a shame for you and Zurreal. We all have those off days at a show, it’s a shame for you both as we have all seen what a difference in Zurreal since you got her. You both deserved better 💖

[@SuperJJx]

It went well! She was just a bit tense for a minute there but she relaxed as soon as you walked away from the trailer.

[@adelehohn5509]

You guys did so well even with all of the unexpected it was awesome and so cool to see the journey and progress

[@wendybergsma6116]

I sure would’ve gotten her, she’s amazing, no matter what😍

[@fleetskipper1810]

I’m sure you’re right that the Palomino filly belonged to your mare. I wonder where that filly ended up. Your mare has the most beautiful head I’ve ever seen on a mustang. I’m not dissing Mustangs’ heads because many have nice heads. But this mare’s head is truly elegant.

[@lillyandthechestnut4556]
