Those foals where so relaxed, laying in the hay eating. What a nice auction.

[@sandrajenkins6822]

So good to hear you say these horses aren't started till 4, in the UK we never start lungeing before 3, put away and then bring back to start properly at 4 and are shocked at Americans starting at 2.

[@pwd1679]

That's why my better half hates Horse Racing! They're two-year-olds!!

[@suloco121]

They need longer to grow. They get rushed, greedy people.

[@pwd1679]

Yes, it's not uncommon, to start groundwork with a two year old. Or even sooner, many horseman will have them halter broke and leading well before their one. Those same horseman will then turn them out and allow them to be a horse till they're three, when they start them under saddle. Generally not putting them to work till they're four. The racing industry, really don't consider age, nor do they train their horses to anything but run in a left turn.

[@marieevans8166]

Not all of us in the US agree w them starting at 2 lol common in certain disciplines,yes. Absolutely stupid more of us know then don’t. We have auction barns full of horses started to early all w navicular and other issues. It’s greed and convenience

Such nice horses at this sale! Whoever bought that paint foal got a really good deal! The baby roan was gorgeous, too! Thanks for taking us along with you! Your videos are much appreciated! ❤

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

You are so welcome!

[@yvettemeier7940]

I think this is an auction that I would be comfort with to buy a horse. I like the calm presentation. Beautiful horses

[@janedeclarico5920]

Loved this sale and the way the horses were presented. They gave you time to actually look at the horses and showed them in a manner that allowed you to see their natural dispositions and movement. I also learned about mountain horses that are not common where I grew up. Our preferred trail horses were much smaller and gaited but these guys with their calm dispositions and willingness to work seem to be a great choice as a trail horse.

[@voiceofreason7856]

Approx. 2:54 mark - WOW - that vintage page out of the Sears catalogue !! Not only could you buy a pony saddle from them, but also a LIVE Shetland pony or burro to put under it ! I guess that was either a very old catalogue page, OR it was the one my Mum ripped out of the 'Sears Christmas Catalogue' before my pony loving hands, as a kid, could see it - or she'd have NEVER gotten any peace ! LOL

[@appaloosa42]

Those Sears ( and Montgomery Ward) saddles were mass-produced by Bona Allen, which remained in business into the 1990’s. I own several of them, and would LOVE to have them redone by a competent saddler! My own saddle is a 13”(!) Bona Allen custom slick-seat Roper; only one I’ve ever seen!

[@voiceofreason7856]

@@appaloosa42 About 4 or 5 years ago, I found a pony saddle at an antiques store, very similar to the one that Clever Cowgirl found at the auction, all nicely studded all round the fenders, etc. , but I couldn't find a makers stamp on it. I snapped it up, regardless. It was in great shape for it's obvious age, overall, but the fleece was just about completely gone on it ! No matter, since it'll never be used for riding. But it fits right in, in my 'old west' themed home. I just use it for a decoration ! :)

[@marge2548]

That was really interesting. Had a very pleasant athmosphere about it. Thank you for taking us along.

[@timilisafogal6990]

That was a great video. I love chocky, stacked, big, sturdy horses. Seeing all of them in beautiful shape was a real treat.

[@SocialShires]

As a big draft horse owner, can`t agree more

[@timilisafogal6990]

[@goldielion-s7f]

I'm glad I don't live anywhere near Montana! If I had gone to this sale, I would have come home with a horse!! Such gorgeous animals in this group...my kind of horse, user-friendly. 😉 Enjoying the heck out of your channel. Thanks CC.

[@Linda-wh2kv]

Love some of these horses, especially the draft crosses. My two best jumpers EVER were draft crisses, one TB-Belgian monster who lived to be 30, and never once stopped at a fence in 25 years of jumping, first for me a junior, then for many years of students. The second was a pink appy ~ about 16.1 ~ with a bald dish face, tiny pricked ears & Arab-looking neck. He was a rescue, bought off a drunken cowboy down the road for $250 & a VW carcass. Funniest looking horse who wasn't afraid of anything but spooked at anything the way Arabs sometimes do. He wasn't broke at all. never gave me any trouble except that he refused to rein back. He learned on our 10th or 12th ride, trail ride. Riding along an old ranch road by the train tracks. Train came along. Appy froze, looked at the train & began running backwards. I pretedned that's what I wanted, applied appropriate aids, & by the time we got back to the barn, that horse ~ no joke ~ would've jumped a picnic table backwards. He felt like he could jump ~ you know, that athletic, swinging feeling all athletic horses have at the walk, even when green broke. I was in my dressage saddle, talking to a friend on the other side of the fence. Something spooked hime & he jumped out of the ring from a stands... anyhow, a good draft cross is always fun,

[@revoroad1789]

1st time I ever heard about these mountain horses - thanks for the lesson. They look great. I love to trail ride.

[@pdcates6184]

As soon as I saw the gravel road leading from Gardiner, I knew you were heading to my favorite town, Jardine. It was an old dream to retire there. Lol. Loved watching your visit to this auction and the advice for those interested in attending one. Very enjoyable!

[@lindacarruthers3423]

I genuinely have no clear idea why I like these videos so much .Probably because the horses rather speak for themselves ,such wonderful creatures as they are but also the information, explanations,and stories of each horse capture one’s imagination and frequently one’s heart.

[@nikkirutland9814]

Beautiful horses, beautiful scenery...thank you for taking us along for another interesting auction video...💜🐎

[@w056007568]

As usual it was most interesting to see what you were able to show us and listen to your thoughts and explanations from being at these sales. I was also impressed by the attitude and general behaviour of the folks visiting this sale - none of the silly razzmatazz and blatant showing off of some of vendors at some previous sales you have attended!

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

A shiny coat won't keep you safe in the back country, but a good brain will!!

[@tiffanyfrehleyyeshuaismy0153]

…The scenery was gorgeous, and I am glad that you safely found your way there. So many adorable babies. 🥰 Thank you for the video. 🩶🐴🩶

[@virtualselfie6899]

Thank you so much, CC, for your detailed tour of the mountain horses. They are stunning! Every horse-girl should buy one for the back country as they may be our only way to get around. My dad had Appys so I am partial to them but love the bays! Awesome report!

[@HORSEGIRL1211]

[@frankfischer1281]

Beautifull country. Seems like all the stock was in pretty good shape.

[@debbieedwards635]

You are an amazing person. Thank you with all my heart ❤I

[@101kiwi]

You are the first person ever that I have subscribed to! I’m guessing that means I will be notified when you have a new video. Your auction videos are fascinating because we don’t have horse auctions in New Zealand with very rare exceptions. Even to purchase from our small wild horse population you have to apply because your property is checked out in advance to ensure you have the proper facilities and knowledge before you are allowed to purchase - these are for horses that are only $250, so that isn’t an auction process like what you attend. The 'normal' horse auction for you is very foreign to me. I like the parts where you are checking out the horse for conformation and signs you look for in temperament. Your clip showing the trailhead where you can camp for free at the end of this video I was swooning with envy at the vast lands not covered in fences and gates.

[@cindyj5522]

As it should be.

[@catherine8770]

Thank you. What beautiful healthy, horses. They seemed to like people too. More wholesome than a bowl of oatmeal. ❤

[@lynnemanning9553]

Fun to see all those beauties! Too bad you didn't get one.....very enjoyable to see all those horses, hopefully, they all go to good homes. It's so hard to watch the auctions where you know the horses are going to be killed if they don't get adopted! And so unfair. We consider our own lives to be so precious, but with other species, we don't understand that they very much value their own lives, and want to live out a long and comfortable life too.

[@stardust949]

I loved this video! Montana is still truly a mostly wild State---and I loved the scenery along with all the interesting things you shared about the tack and the horses too. Thank you!

[@wally2786]

I ride jumpers, I want one of these lovely quiet pack horses. One of my horses hates being in nature. Not kidding, will stand up on his hind legs when I suggest a walk in the woods. However, he lives for horse shows! He’s been there done that, so there’s no pressure at home. Get him to a show and he puffs up and moves like a rocket. I love him. But a trail horse would be awesome too.

I love that you and free spirit don't start foals until they are 4 years old. I mean of course grooming and leading them and haltering and picking up theyre feet to train is ok. But bridleing them and saddleing and riding No wait until they are grown 😊
