Thank you!

[@Captain_kinz]

"He puts his nose in for the hay" 😍 haha cute lil baby. I wonder how long he'd stay there with his lil nose in the halter waiting for hay like ☺️🤤

[@debrabish1494]

what a sweet boy-drafty-my new kill pen baby is so sweet but has been traumatized-never touched -I can brush every inch-of her now-started with her favorite hay as a brush she says no capturing or pressuring please

This is excellent. My Devils Garden Gelding was a 2020 Gather also at 23 years old. Travler is a Red Roan #6157 gathered in January. I just got him he is 25. His previous owner used a rope halter and led him from pen to pasture on a regular basis. He is afraid of Nylon halters. I am his 3rd owner. I am experienced, but at 63 very cautious. I will be putting up a round pen . I will be watching your videos. It would be a dream to ride him. It is an honor to have him. I have a 22 yr old Mustang Mare. I trained her. Great trail horse. She has EMS so can't ride.

I'm so impressed with his temperament and willingness to learn!

[@lazygardens]

Greed is good.

[@beachbumetta]

Just curious I thought you had a grassy area outside the pen in previous videos. Do they not have a place to graze anymore? No grass? He’s a real beauty and seems very smart.

[@BreakHabitsNotHorses]

They tore all the grass up during the winter. The front pasture is still grass, but they aren't allowed up there when the grass is dormant. We are in the process of cross-fencing and will re-plant when we can keep them off it.

[@sidilicious11]

Very nice!

[@manuelvelez389]

[@josephinestecak4945]

Superb and what a great little horse for being wild till 14!

[@marymartin1248]

I have enjoyed watching your transformation from when you first started with Chance. I am going try this with my 4yr mare. I love how descriptive you are and that you explain the positive and negative for certain behaviors

[@debrabish1494]

Thank you.I can see this will take some days-you are amazing -thank you-this is my third filly that is untouched -i can brush all over -started brushing her with hay and then feeding it-before bucket of feed and she could feel fingers holding edge of bucket-few days later pet cheeks then up behind ears then ears then down forelock down face-8 days-now trying halter and she went for it strait away=off and on just over eyes -thank you how wonderful have seen Shelby Dennis do this for months with some

[@jaeldekkers1]

You have really grow with your horse skills from you started with chance! Good job!!!

[@rosegarden9575]

Yes! Really grown and developed excellent skills!

[@geministrial950]

I have a 3 year old feral mare that my parents bought from a friend and im worried her previous bad experiences with humans may cause her to see me as bad as well. Admittedly ive clearly made some mistakes since i hadnt found your videos yet and didnt really know what to do, so i want to ask, would this whole process still be possible if i restarted completely? She also came with a halter already put on, so im not sure how to approach this. Should i take it off and restart her on it? She has a 5 month old baby that she's started to wean, so idk if thats an issue

[@carleenharmon3962]

I as well have a DG she came home Dec 2022. No halter either. Coming nicely, but she is a yearling.

[@isaiasgregorio5701]

I'm Brazilian, I want to be your assistant for a season to learn your techniques

[@jaeldekkers1]

I committed earlier, but WOW! You have grow sooo much!! I love to see people grow in their skills! You should be very proud!

[@meganisraels9952]

Mine is DG yearling that we just got a little over a week ago. We worked on haltering. She did great!

[@BreakHabitsNotHorses]

I love the babies! Have fun!

[@meganisraels9952]

Yours is super handsome!

[@BreakHabitsNotHorses]

@@meganisraels9952 Thank you! He's got a heart of gold too.

[@Captain_kinz]

I used to deal with horses that would bolt when being released into pasture dangerously. I'd put two halters on them take one halter almost off holding the one that's still on there. They would try to bolt but would be pulled back by the other halter, after doing this many times I could take the 2nd halter off with them standing still I could then walk away as they walked calmly away

[@allisonastrella2246]

You guys are doing amazing! I learn a lot of watching :)

[@allisonastrella2246]

Oh no, this was supposed to say “from watching”. Gotta love autocorrect!

[@kairespeers104]

Absolutely amazing!!!

[@swlbarely]

Great mustang and great trainer developing mutual respect!

[@rosegarden9575]

[@dianaalfaro4850]

[@BreakHabitsNotHorses]

I hope it works for you!
