MORE than Mustang Magic ✨

Have you ever felt it's too late to start something? If so, I think you'd be encouraged to hear this story of an unlikely champion! The 2024 Mustang Magic was inspirational for all who attended. In this event, invited trainers had approximately 120 days to train a wild mustang. Here, they return to compete with their mustangs in 4 preliminary classes, which conclude with top ten freestyles performances. For many in the audience, this weekend was MORE than mustang magic.
This video is dedicated to all who have had a late start on a dream. Send this video to someone you think it might encourage on their journey ❤️

I've just turned 58 and had my first riding lesson. I'm hooked, in love with it all and so very lucky to have friends and family that are positive and supportive. Dreams do come true. ❤

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

I love that so much! Good for you!!💜

[@famouskate9071]

Good for you!!!! I am happy and proud for you. Horses will make your life so wonderful! Nothing greater than sitting on a happy horse!

[@janemillerick9614]

so happy for you! I recently found a place (it exists!!)) not impossible for me to get to!)) I hope you have many happy years ahead!

[@kiminalaska9363]

That is so awesome. I am 60 and I have rode a horse about 10 or 12 times. I have really enjoyed watching the videos of trainers. Horses can really bring out the best in us.

[@Kobisashi]

These mustangs have learned more in 120 days than the average horse will learn in a lifetime.

[@goldenyearsacres9163]

I had a love for horses from a young age & and married someone who also had a desire to have horses. We budgeted & saved for 20 years & bought our 10 acre horse farm at age 50. While it would have been easier when we were younger to do all the farm chores & keep the property maintained, we wouldn't change a thing. If you are "older" & think it's too late, maybe it's not. If you want it bad enough, you WILL find a way. We have 4 horses of our own & 2 more we are helping our neice care for. The view from our back patio & also from our front porch is horses grazing, so relaxing & such a blessing.

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

I love that!!❤

[@WildLilyHorsemanship]

Phenomenal video, Britta! The editing and story telling was lovely!

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Thank you so much!! I put SO much thought into it!! I’m excited to give myself a break after an intense few weeks 😅

[@WildLilyHorsemanship]

@@TheProjectEquestrian I don’t blame you! It was super well done and you deserve a breather ❤️

[@christa2252]

Wonderful video. I loved horses dearly as a child but my family never had the means to do more than a couple lessons. I was always told, "horses are too expensive. You're a kid from the city, horses are for people with land and farms." Fast forward to me pushing 40 with a family of my own. I started horseback riding lessons again and last summer I was able to purchase two lovely mares. I hit the trails as often as I can. If I could talk to my 5-year-old self, I would tell her to be patient, work hard, and you will make your dream happen.

[@bethanys-herd]

This video is beautiful! It came together like a mini documentary on the show, and so inspiring! Great job! 😄

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Thank you!!😊

[@susehendricks6217]

Wow! Thank you. This video was meant for me, I suppose. I cried… Hopefully, I can become like this gentleman one day.

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

💜💜💜

[@bethtowle8642]

The best horse I ever had was a Pryor Mountain mustang we got when I was 13. He was easy to train and there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for me. RIP Raven

[@late_to_the_paddock]

Loved this video. I was wowed about the trainer with the late start.

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

I think he has inspired many!

[@peggymartin7681]

Wonderful…! Gorgeous horses. This was my first Magic Mustang event. Thoroughly enjoyed it.❤

[@miamyos]

What an underdog moment and so well deserved. It really shows how strong the relationship between this man and horse is and maybe they were so close because he really knows how it feels to be in a new place learning something you've never done before and he had the patience to try and build trust and confidence in his horse and not rush things. It showed in all parts of the competition that they really worked as a team the entire time.

[@-angie.]

It's so heart touching to see the trust these trainers have built with these beautiful horses. They are all first place winners in my eyes. Congratulations to all for such excellent work.

[@rachelashby3857]

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

That’s amazing!!! I love that!! 💜

[@sarahb3525]

Fantastic performances from all involved. Thanks for the great video.

[@irishgirl4331]

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

[@Nana9112go]

Excellent video, Britta

[@FelineFelon]

I loved your video, really well done. The horses were beautiful and the trainers inspiring. I admit I cried when they were auctioned off.

[@AdelWilliams-sz7nt]

Congratulations 🎉

[@user-lb1eh8hn8s]

Horses are magnificent magical animals that can teach us a great deal. It’s important to embrace life and follow one’s gift and passion. Really love what you do. 🙏😊

[@janetesser6929]

Fabulous video. Thank you

[@cwavt8849]

I am blown away by what was done gently in just 120 days. Waffles was Such a charmer and Mocha was outstanding. I'm m hooked

[@jheremck]

What a beautiful video....Thank You :)

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Thank you for watching !! 💜😊

[@bluekatgal7300]

Who could pick a winner. Absolutely great fun and lovely to see horses feeling safe enough to perform their tasks. Love this content.

[@niccoleshrider9794]

I grew up loving horses. From a toddler at 3 years old willing to just walk straight up to a horse almost 16 hands, no fear. I never owned one myself. I only competed a short time my senior year, barrel racing. I never got to ride again after my senior year. Not for lack of wanting to. Now, I fear my body has chosen that it can not be a part of my life ever again. 😢 I have missed it for over 30 years. I see a horse and feel like a part of me is drawn away. So beautiful🎉❤🎉😢

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Maybe next time around! My horse riding days are done in this body...arthritis has me seized up. But...there's always next time around! Good luck!

[@NathonSmith]

Im 72 going on 73 in july i still want to ride and lea r n more about riding

[@NathonSmith]

I got a mustang it's a ford I love. All kind a of horses a mustang is my favorite. .

[@NathonSmith]

Thank you for the comment

[@SilverFlame819]

[@lisawilson3360]

So happy to see english Riders interested in mustangs as well They are great amazing versatile horses for any type of Sport

[@dmclassical08]

I had a pleasure of meeting you during this event. This is a great documentary. You are a very talented person ❤ from Texas.

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Aww, thank you!! 💜💜

[@sarahseevinck8470]

Your 'it's not too late' message made me cry...it does feel unobtainable and scary starting this late in life (not for lack of wishing!). thank you x

[@MnMHorsemanship]

I’m so excited!!!!

[@BoninBrighton]

Loved the black widow spider at 17 minutes brilliant!

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

Midnight Belle was my absolute favorite. Gorgeous and such a great mind!

[@goldenyearsacres9163]

Hearing your commentary along with the video, I just learned a great deal of info on mustangs! Thanks so much. Younger lady teaching this older lady, never too old to learn & never too young to share knowledge.

[@catherineconrad4493]

What a absolute joy to watch, i was riding by a very young age, and was born with horse fever in my blood, these Mustangs, and there wonderful trainers prove how amazing Mustangs are, by only having 120 days to train a completely unhandled horse, proving Mustangs can be trained to the same level of consistency as any other breed of horses. . . . . these Mustangs are so intelligent, they can do anything, a papered purebred horse can be trained to do, and probably alot quicker

[@crazyhorserocket]

65 still living my dream of a life with horses! Nothing makes my heart happier than a well-trained horse!

[@terrideaton2306]

I love how to brought all this together. You really showcased how Mustangs are truly an all-around horse. Its a shame that some people are so breed blind. Thank you for getting positive and honest feedback out about Mustangs. True, they are not easy and not for everyone, but they are definitely for me! (Umm, I may have 5)

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

I know! Other than Theodore of course, I don’t think I’ll ever have anything other than a mustang 💜amazing horses!

[@lauriethompson8085]

Congratulations another great video presenting mustang magic!

[@alisontabernor6332]

Fab video Britta! Love those mustangs and how well trained they were ! 😊

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Thank you!! 💜😊

[@sunsetterpoledance103]

I agree that starting late may have its advantages!! Super inspiring!!

[@dr.kathiperry2606]

We were there for the Finals.. this is amazing to see what led to that final night’s performance!!

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Very enjoyable video! I wanted to buy more than one, although the winner was my favorite. I hope they all went to good homes.

[@Oldfart9]

Excellent video, thank you

[@suzycue9278]

Great share that transcends this Mustang Magic show and into “life”….thank you for sharing.

[@didibolter9362]

I LOVE EACH AND EVERY HORSE on this planet and those that were!! 😍😚 😙 ❤ 💋👄 🐎 🐎 🐎 🐎

[@MustangGentling]

♥️♥️♥️

[@blackdiamond7708]

❤🎉 Thank you for bringing us this video Britta!! 😊 I have a question: I really love Mustangs but all these are exceptional beauties -- do all the Mustang choices look this good, or are the trainers already choosing from a higher caliber of Mustang..? I mean are they preselected as some of the better Mustangs, standing apart from the rest?? They just all are so stunning, simply breathtaking in my opinion... Maybe I missed any videos where you have discussed this .. 🤔 Anyway thanks again for showing it to us!! 😊❤️⭐😍🐎🎥🐴

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

You are welcome! 😊And I’m not sure how they select horses for events

[@TennisPlyrMom]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

Loved this video! Brought me right back to my mustang days! BRAVO!! 👏👏👏

[@earthbybike]

What a lovely video. Well done.

[@sassykat2000]

❤️❤️❤️

[@joannecava2418]

This was a wonderful video!!!!!!

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

Thank you!!😊

[@nancybenson1951]

Wow. I picked Mocha too. What a phenomenal performance.

[@goldenyearsacres9163]

I know that having a wild mustang is outside my skill set & my physical capabilities due to being in my late 50's & having chronic neck & shoulder pain, but it seems so rewarding. You keep up the good work. My neice was told that the horse she bought was a mustang. It doesn't have a freeze brand. She was told that her horse was originally sold straight to a private owner so no freeze brand was done. Does this sound right? I didn't grow up with horses, but now have 4 of my own & 2 of my niece's on my land. How could she know for sure without any paperwork. She snatched the horse up before the kill buyers were called to pick up the horse.

[@erinmuetz8771]

Made me cry! Wow.

[@Groundedsquirrel]

Makes me nervous when the horses jump over each other! Eek😂

[@geogriapeach5211]

I was able to get my first horse at 69, she was a rescue.

[@aileen694]

geogrigapeach5211, Good for you!

[@lisamedley4048]

I absolutely love this to help these horses and raise money I hope the money goes back into the mustangs it would be very hard for me to do this because I would get pretty attached to the horse and the bond between us would probably be inseparable so glad the guy that got a late start in life doing this come out to be the champion I love the underdog beautiful message

[@ilsewatkins5357]

Thank You! Excellent video

[@TwistinTops1]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing! It would be so hard to sell them! 💜

[@enavarro002]

This made me tear up so sweet

[@joanlovelace7338]

Wow lots of Quarter Horse blood in these Mustang!!

[@chrisusher7144]

I got 2 one was 7 mos and was the best one and cutest. She was 1100$. Were real happy she's a big puppy. 7 now. And another 11 she's all black and beautiful thin white blaze.

[@florencechristman1428]

Very nice thank you

[@famouskate9071]

Awesome jobs by all!!! Horses relaxed and healthy and well treated. Just a couple of suggestions, as a 100 pound woman who trained many wild caught Mustangs, along with 30 + more breeds of horses. Please, take off the spurs, those of you using them. They hurt your horse. A horse can feel a fly land on it and responds by tail swishing, skin shaking, etc., so if a horse feels and responds to a fly, why use spurs? I know, you get a faster response that way, which is my second complaint.....this is too much to demand of a horse in 120 days. The horses did great, thw trainers/riders are all good, but, ALWAYS let the horse set the pace for learning. Maybe a horse, a truly great horse, needed 121 days, then what?

[@nancyhudson6114]

I want one of these horses.I had arabians when I was younger

[@drcornelius8275]

For how well these horses are trained, the sold prices seemed low to me. What am I missing?

[@ellenmuseum]

Idk, i am learning about horses but dont have any interest in riding them, and the expense is too much. These wild animals are going into extinction imho, heartbroken. Glad you find enjoyment and achievement with them ❤.

[@g.w.hampton5525]

Oh jeez it would be so hard to have taken a horse all that way and have it auctioned off to a stranger... that's just me..

[@Silver_Therian_Wolf]

These 120 day trained horses do stuff better than my horse with 18 years of training xD

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

I remember the first makeover I went to years ago, I had the exact same thought 😂

How much did Dior go for?

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

I think it she was $6000 if I’m remembering correctly?

[@leanneadams2549]

I would’ve liked to have Dior also !!

[@hobertlee7598]

Great horeses

[@GlitterGlamGal]

Im confused as to what exactly a mustang is. I thought it was completely untouched horses but i noticed that at least one of those mustangs in the pen had a neck brand. How can a horse that’s branded be an unhandled one?? Im not being facetious i genuinely dont understand.

[@1millionpumpkins542]

They're branded when rounded up by the BLM. It is a permanent ID on a registry so the horse's age and origin can be tracked. There are strict rules about transferring ownership and housing of mustangs as well. 😊

[@NathonSmith]

😅

[@orchids5557]

I really wish you had the whole auction on there

[@sheryldengler1772]

Why would you put the narrative right in front of the show your talking about so we can't seee???

[@TheProjectEquestrian]

I think you are referring to captions. I don’t control those at all. That is something each individual controls the settings to. You can turn them off if you want

[@sladiewolf]

19:51 never keep a braid hanging… 😢 20:09 and again!? Edit: disappointed any and all trainers who do this - not YT channel who isn’t in control of the situation
