Gettin’ On | 2019 Mustang TIP Challenge

[@HopeK4067]

It’s so amazing to see how far your work has brought these guys! Especially Eton who has been to nervous about it all really coming out of his shell! Keep up the amazing work!!!

[@jaykb6587]

Finally! It seems like Eton has had his "AHA" moment. Maybe all he needed was some space where he could run free and think about the time before man. 😃👍❣

[@typerexc]

Yup. On board with this.

[@smokedoliver1]

Elton tries very hard to please you. I especially like his expressive trot. He has a nice way of going.

[@airdriegirl1]

I think you should keep Eton you can see he has a really special bond with you deep down ❤️ keep up the good work elisa

[@CeruleanRogue]

Agreed, I really don't think he should go to anyone else given how he's cleaved so tightly to Elisa. Wyeth seems like he'll be good no matter where he ends up because of how gregarious he is. But my biggest fear is that Eton is going to end up being bidded upon by someone more interested in his looks who isn't ready to take on the huge commitment he's going to bring. It seems like he has a pretty real chance of regressing if he isn't picked up by the right person.

[@airdriegirl1]

@@CeruleanRogue I couldn't agree more or someone who may do one wrong move and all trust is gone me personally when I watch him with elisa, you can see he see's her as his rock plus his soul mate. I'm just nervous of him going straight back to how he was at the beginning of his journey when he hasn't got elisa there who you can see he is so attached to her, it's amazing to see how far he has came along and you can see elisa hard work is paying off he had no trust to begin with and now look at him he's so majestic the way he trots and holds his head so high when he stands is the most beautiful sight. the day horses came to be on this earth is the day the words majestical and beautiful was created

[@airdriegirl1]

Also I fear he will lose all trust in humans again as he lost his family the day he was taken from the wild separated from them and now he has elisa he has someone he can trust again and once he is bidded off he will lose another person I know this is what's supposed to happen this is what she signed up for but dreams also comes true for animals 😉 wyeth can be your mustang makeover horse and I feel deep down Eton was brought to you for a reason elisa he has such an amazing nature about him and I'm sure everyone can agree you can feel it from the other side of the screen when you watch him how gentle his nature is when he softens up I hope maybe we can all come to elisa in her dreams and all repeat keep Eton elisa keep him 😂

[@WallaceEventing]

He doesn’t have to go through the auction ;)

[@airdriegirl1]

@@WallaceEventing he's amazing elisa maybe a little early Christmas present to yourself 😉😋 he's definitely your spirit animal, your doing amazing with him he's coming on leaps and bounds. I thank you for everything your doing I live in Scotland UK and would love to do something like this. I used to own a dun mare called meika but to me she was called Smegal when she was getting a treat she would act like it was a piece of gold so I would say my precious thats how she became Smegal lol 😂 she was my heart and soul but sadly had to move to the city for work so shes retired into a field horse now I miss her dearly stay to far away to visit 😔 I literally watch your videos while eating my dinner at night when you've uploaded lol but yeah you can see in Etons eyes he's chosen you elisa again a massive thank you for all your doing for the horses ❤️ much love from across the pond p.s please keep Eton lol 🙏😁

[@unrulycrow6299]

His look in the round pen had such a "uh ok human" vibe to it, it was pretty funny. And as much as I enjoy watching Wy kinda breeze through everything like a boss, Eton's progress hit a personal chord as a person with pretty much no self-esteem. It's like watching a horse version of myself trying his best and moving forward - maybe at a slower pace than his peers, but the progress remains steady nonetheless, and the way you handle him is great. I wish people were more lile that towards each other tbh.

[@FluxyMiniscus]

Awww I love seeing this! How PROUD Eton looks when you are hopping on- like he’s thinking “ OMG , just like the BIG KIDS DO!” Great work Elisa- thanks for sharing

[@109367]

How weird do you think horses think we are? xD

[@leonslionessnz4867]

I think horses think humans are strange creatures but they get used to our strange ways and see us as their friends and leaders. One thoroughbred I had in my youth looked at me with a puzzled look on his face every time I sneezed. He thought it was a fascinating sound and wondered what it meant.

[@sassykat2000]

He's really coming along nicely Elisa! He figured out the ball so fast and really doesn't seem to mind you on his back at all. I echo others in saying I hope you keep him. It may take a but longer but I think he could be a really lovely event horse once he gains more confidence and experience. His spirit announces itself.He has tremendous presence.

[@debrabiderman4275]

You are so brave...and so is Eton. He really likes you. You are his world and isn't he the lucky boy. When I think of the possibilities of someone hard breaking this horse it makes me sick at my stomach. He deserves your chance to become the wonderful partner to a human. Not the slave, the friend and partner. With you training him he has a real chance at a good life.

[@TheWatanna]

Wow. What a difference from the last video. He looks so alert and finally willing to cooperate with you Elisa. He now has strong bond with you and trust has grown. Well done Eton. Thank you for posting.

[@rissymur2812]

A stress relieving jaunt made all the difference in the world. He's so different today! It's like he's let go of a bunch of tension when he ran around. Love this!

[@typerexc]

So good to see. I posted on yesterday's video, about how in spite of things not going to plan, he looked so happy running. Probably opened his mind up a bit and made him feel less trapped. And he did learn that even if he gets away, he always ends up back with you.

[@martylesnick2032]

Just found you and your 2 mustangs. I am in awe of your training, love how you let your horses flow. I am almost 70 yrs old. Have had horses since 12 yrs old. Learned a lot over the years. Started and showed our horses. Lots of wonderful memories. Have followed Mustang compettion last several years amazing horses and trainers. Love, love your presence in their world, you just let them flow. Your are an outstanding acrobat on them.

[@Duckkis]

I hope you'd be able to keep Eton. You've been building up the bond and trust with him, and he seems like the kind of horse that needs someone who he can count on at all times, someone who really understands him. All the commitment that comes with him, I believe it'd be best for him to stay with you.

[@halokina]

Am I the only one grinning from ear to ear?!?! So stupid to be proud of a rider I've never met and a horse I've never met, but when I watched this video that's exactly the emotion I had.

[@jenniemackay4844]

You have come so far with him well done ❤️

[@terrywbl4959]

What a difference a day can make, it really shows his trust in you. Yesterday was oh lets see how far we can drag Elisa around on two feet or maybe even her bottom, I think he really was surprised when he looked at you on your butt and boy did the dust fly. lol You all were funny! Brings back such great memories for me very special I really miss it.

[@AG-mt3xs]

This is a HUGE step for Eton! Way to go!!!

[@mejustbnme8302]

Wow! Yay Eton! You're doing so well. So glad to see you relaxing and trusting. Love you.

[@jayinozvlog]

One step back from the day before but 4 steps forward with this one! So much patience, understanding and hard work! I'm loving seeing Eton's journey 🥰🥰🥰

[@leonslionessnz4867]

Eton! He doesn't mind you getting on him at all. He trusts you. You should keep this little black horse. You have a bond with him. He has a fantastic trot i can imagine him pulling a nice cart with a trot like that he would be an amazing little harness horse. Trotting out with his long black mane flying in the wind! Barry Hook the harness driver from England would love him! However Eton being so reactive may never accept something behind him. He is doing well this time at the equestrian center and seems to have forgotten about the last visit there! It is a testament to his sweet nature him not trying to get away from you again!

[@johnmerryman1825]

Such an amazing milestone day! Go Eton!!

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

He's so much freer in his movement!

[@ThePaulahoo1]

I love how Eton no longer cares about someone else's toys in the playpen!!

[@alexboies1227]

So exciting to see all of this! He is becoming very trusting...it’s almost like he wants you to ride him. Wow, just plain old wow! What fun for both of you!

[@JustNatax3]

Aw man. It would be so nice if you could keep him... since you wrote a while back you were not sure if he would be ready when the time comes to show him in the challenge. He trusts you and I think you grew both from your relationship. I wish you could keep that beautiful and smart little scaredy cat

[@nessflett]

I’ve enjoyed every one of your Mustang stories, watching their progression is so brilliant, I hang out for them every day. While Wyeth is 100% the horse I would want, Eton is exactly the horse I have... You’ve reminded me of some very basic things I could be doing with my sensitive delicate flower (quiet riders vs nervous horses etc) so I’m hopping around like a fruit cake when I lead my horse... yep. Totally normal. Watching this little guy come so far and at such a different pace to his counterpart has been a great example of how each animal needs his or her own custom training... you’ve done so well. Kudos. You’ve taught him to trust and how to learn (some like Wy already know how to learn!) and set him up to succeed - as others have said - let’s hope his new home know what they’ve got ahead. It’s not easy!

[@bridgetconnor1447]

That was really great to see him doing so well and more relaxed.He is a beautiful horse. You are so good with all the horses.

[@kathlynterry8196]

I’m always amazed that such a little horse has hooves the size of dinner plates. Very sturdy. He’s coming along nicely.

[@trishayamada807]

Ahhhhhhhh! How exciting! I was NOT expecting to see you hoppin on! See, a new day brings new opportunities. I’m loving watching Eton progress.

[@typerexc]

Heh. Gloves. ;-)

[@aremedyproject9569]

First thing I thought too lol.

[@jacquiepitfield9805]

That was lovely to see. Your bond with him is really special. He certainly has come on in this video. You have a bit more control with his head collar, but he seems a little different in spirit today. Moving forward definitely. Well done you. You are so flexible. Love it, monkeying around on him. Think everyone has a real soft spot for Eton.

[@susa4087]

I was so concerned when he managed to get away from you twice yesterday...... oh dear now he's learnt that he can do that.... But.... there was something about him at the end, after you got up from the ground - it looked different and I wondered might the opposite have happened - that he scared himself when he was running around and realised he was happier to be close to his leader. Thankfully, he is just brilliant today!

[@earthlydivinity5030]

You have given him a whole new lease on life and he loves you for it. Thank you for sharing this experience

[@Jimpainter222]

wow couldn't imagine getting this far, watching from the beginning. Good work!!

[@Rowdymotmot]

What a great boy. So much better than yesterday. He will be wonderful.

[@lovejuliet4969]

Woo hoo!!🤗🤗🤗congratulations to you both! He is really growing in his confidence💖lord he is a beautiful boy🐎💖🐎

[@KJodiGear]

I love watching this horse’s progress. You do such a fantastic job with him.

[@cj-qn8ou]

Absolutely beautiful to see Eton's progress!

[@zebraplant5977]

This horse looks great! Amazing how much more settled and less nervous he seems when you are on him. I believe he's going to be one to watch. Oh, what a difference a day makes... 24 little hours.... : ) Good job.

[@dorothymerrell6091]

Eton is gorgeous his way of going reminds me so much of the horse I had. He was a spoiled old man in his 20s but he still had plenty of go in him.

[@JudyHart1]

His little runaway episode yesterday was probably a great stress relief for him.

[@ghostel6580]

I'd forgotten about KZbin for a few weeks therefore I haven't seen any of your recent videos, so the last time I saw Eton was when you first started jumping around him to get used to your movements. To see now how far he's come is absolutely amazing. Eton is such an incredible horse, and you're such an incredible trainer, that I think that you and him are going to make an amazing pair (not that you already aren't). It's just crazy to see how much of a trusting horse he's becoming over time, and I can't wait to see his future progress!!!!!

[@jmleeinla]

I just love watching the progression from the scared flighty guy he was to the trusting boy he is.

[@willmxkid7033]

This is so fantastic we have just come home from the German Mustang Makeover and the horses and trainers were awe inspiring 🐴

[@Melody-lz1ql]

Eton really reminds me of my rescue boy Mystery. I wish I could have watched these videos when I first started working with my boy! I also wish I could hop on/off as easily and quickly as you do! I think that would actually help my boy a lot.

[@onlyClaire]

Wonderful progress. I couldn't help smiling watching him with the ball.

[@souders4428]

Amazing work! So lovely to see his progress - such a sweet nature ❤️👍

[@feigekatarina5745]

I knew he'd do better! I'm really glad you tried everything again. Yesterday was all new, today was a little more familiar. He did great and you did great! I'm so proud, even though I had nothing to do with it.

[@gg3596]

What a difference a day can make....awesome progress for Elisa & Eton!

[@writergrrl8100]

I am in awe. He's come so far. And he's lovely to watch move!!!!!

[@barbiewarner530]

he's just beautiful.just what i would picture a stud of a mustang looks like.you r doing so well training him to...u ride that mustang girl..can't wait to c him finished...his trot is his strut..cant wait to c how fast he runs n how beautiful it looks with u on him as a team.WTG

[@michellefury12345]

I'm so excited watching both the boys learn to trust....really amazing watching them use their brain to figure out what you're asking....thanks for sharing with us Elisa!!❤❤

[@aracech2929]

Huge improvement in one day. Amazing how much more focus he had on the ground, especially in that big open arena. Good Elisa!! I would have been a little stumped and yet you really got his respect and controlled him in the ground even though it was so blustery.

[@susa4087]

well done! it's extraordinary how far you've come with such a nervous horse - it's great to see him slowly learn to trust.

[@lydiaequestrian4197]

Eton is so gorgeous!!!! 🥰❤️❤️🐴

[@jeannie8173]

Way to go Eton... He is going to be a really good boy when your done with him! He has attached himself to you... I have never trained a horse but I want to and I am planning on adopting a mustang! I have had a few people tell me not to, but the way Eton has become so attached to you, the way he just wants to make you happy, is the reason why I want to train my own mustang! When the first person that comes into their life, they make a connection, so when another comes along, they will not have that same connection! Horses get attached to people, like we can get attached to them! I want that connection with them! Sorry, you have to start somewhere... And there is alot of great trainers with videos to show how to do it! I have owned horse before, it has been a little while but I have no problems putting the work in to having and training my horse! Awesome job!

[@donnasmith9939]

My first horse had the same coloring as Elton. I think that’s why I love seeing you work with him.

[@AkkaVoskuil]

I missed a couple of videos and he's a DIFFERENT HORSE :o You're doing an amazing job with him!

[@stardust949]

Awesome! you're so lovely with him---and he's a beautiful horse.

[@lmp8932]

Who stole Eton and put this horse in his place! You have done a mighty job with this fellow :)

[@windywalcha]

You are amazing Elisa, I just love watching you work.

[@pennywebb867]

Say what you will and as frustrating as he can be with his "everything's GONNA EAT ME" attitude, he is one gorgeous mover!

[@chelseasmith5758]

He moves so nicely and wow his progress is amazing

[@SkipandVictoria]

Wow he did fantastic, what a big change in a short time!

[@tinamartin1267]

[@TheresaL88]

Very nice! He redeemed himself from the previous day! 😁

[@coraliesentch4515]

Wow, you have achieved so much for this boy ! 😍🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@territn8871]

He is so pretty! Yesterday worried me a little and I was so hoping you'd let us see him again today...thank you!! I love that boy❤ Tell me though, what color is he...most of the time I've thought he was black, but today he's looking like a dark bay. Either one, he's very good looking!🤗

[@WallaceEventing]

I’ve had him genetically tested and he is homozygous black. However, I had to treat him for ulcers and I’ve found with the blAck horses, they can turn reddish in color because of ulcers and not absorbing their nutrients. . He’s about to shed out all of that crappy color.

[@aremedyproject9569]

At 11:57 (and right before then) he even put his near ribs towards you, turning towards the right, and making it easier for you to hop on. He did that on purpose I think. Maybe when you’re up there it’s like you can look out for his back end, the spot behind him kind of thing, where he’s usually worried about. Kinda like you’re bringing up the rear when you’re up there. I wonder.

[@sues7589]

I was ready to give up on Eton but you sure weren’t. Well done.

[@denisewebb]

Very cool! Nice work today.

[@1badbadgergirl]

Thank you for your amazing honest videos they are super.

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Wow, he looks so *different* here as far as being more chill. That's not how Eton arrived there, no way. This is great.

[@swimmingbird243]

Omg this is so beautiful :)! He's come so damn far!

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

There's so much try in this guy yet untapped. Funny to see him sidestep the narrow bridge--he knows what's up! Ha!

[@christinearmington]

Glad to see the gloves!

[@cypheri1339]

I find it interesting that he seems so unconcerned with this part of the process compared to how he's reacted to a lot of other things. I wonder if it's because you've had to be so persistent in building such a strong, solid foundation with him? At first he seems confused about being climbed on, but he's not worried at all. He's more concerned with the obstacles than with anything you'd ever do to him!

[@irlina4686]

how is that Eton?! So impressed!!👏👏👏

Holly smokes I go on holiday for two weeks and come back and you are sitting on him 😮

[@meganb4646]

At around 8:40 when he goes over the bridge, what do you mean "...he uses his head and neck."? I feel like I see him pick himself up a bit and go over but he wasn't bunched and ready to blow... it was more like he was supporting and balancing himself. Is that what is being referenced?

[@WallaceEventing]

Yes. That is using his head and neck for balance.

I know this is heresy, but I have to question if this is not the brightest guy you have handled. Doesn’t mean he is untrainable, but it takes so many repetitions per inch. Sigh! Been there.

He’s very smart, just has a lot fear. He will come around. Just takes time.
