Training a wild mustang horse ~ groundwork in the first 30 days

Today marks 30 days with our wild BLM Mustang named Justice. What a journey this wild mustang has taken us on this month. He's by far the most difficult mustangs I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. He’s super sensitive and takes a great deal of patience just to earn a tiny fraction of trust. In 30 days I’ve been able to get him to stand, accept brushing, grooming, and petting (he doesn’t like to be tapped so I learned to stroke him firmly) he seems to like this firming stroking over tapping. Applying the halter is an area he is working towards accepting. He’s doing better with the blanket and I just placed the saddle on him twice so far. I’m looking forward to our 2nd month in training starting tomorrow!

That has GOT to be one the MOST beautiful mustang I have ever seen! AND HE'S HUGE!!!

[@Skilletfan3000]

Nicole Davis Definitely! The barn I work at has several, but all around 14-14.2 hands. He looks like my TB!

[@nicoledavis5719]

Harakiri Tora i could never gush enough about how stunning he is. I wonder what his lineage is. I know most mustangs out there have some andalusian and spanish mixes. I would kill to know his lineage!!

[@Skilletfan3000]

Right?!

[@kendallgoulet8021]

Nicole Davis I agree

[@Nuh_uh37]

Nicole Davis he's not huge he's pretty average and he's a stallion and mustang

I have never seen a mustang that beautiful before, or that large. Just amazing.

[@Bananapeelz098]

This is the true spirit of the mustang world

[@crohkorthreetoes3821]

Boy, he's a big horse. For the people concerned about the flinching and 'non fluid movements' They get used to it. People are not fluid movers and the horse needs to get used to natural human motion. The horse obviously is used to horses and sudden horse movements do mean he needs to respond. Just like he's used to going down on a knee when someone grabs his foot. But they have to learn human behavior is different than horse behavior. and he will.

[@countrygirlxo7188]

I’m in love with this horse

[@aky19832001]

Mustang are amazing. Some of them have that heavy horse bloodline mixed in them with some Arabian and Spanish. They are absolute the best to have to for daily work, trail and rough terrain. Look at their thick bones. This guy is huge.

[@idkwhattoputheretobehonest9238]

I’m getting a youngster from the new forests next month and I want to make sure their as comfy and safe as possible

[@AllyTaylor1]

He’s gorgeous!!

[@jeepgirl9592]

Hes huge for a mustang! And his color way is gorgeous.

[@melonandlove6802]

Happy to see you have taken your time. Many 'trainers' rush the horse and take a more harsh approach and it can hurt them in the long run.

[@rhileyandersen8113]

I own three and boy are they hard work but yet so gorgeous and graceful

[@mr.pineapplemanlol2803]

I love it. so good. great work

[@atticus3442]

I have 3 mustangs. Quill: I do bareback trick riding and a ton of other stuff.And he is a dapple grey. Prya: A bay paint, who is very shy. And Zara: She is a grey paint who is a good barrel racer.

[@joannsmith9]

What a beauty!

[@jorge76643]

Horses and bulls are amazing 🇲🇽❤️🇧🇷

[@loredelore7286]

Mustangs hate if you tap or pat them, to them its an incursion, don't forget in their wild existence that equates to the beginnings of a battle as its a quick movement directed towards them and the noise is also the same for them. If you want him to lower his head, gently push his head up and he will generally give in. I find they respond to this way of thinking. Really nice horse and love your way around him.

[@chennakeshvapodila5367]

2:06 the horse thouth that the rope was tied and was about to follow him. But took a sec for horse to realize

[@cindyhaddock4087]

He is gorgeous!

Wow beautiful breed my mum trained and tamed a mustang when she was little

[@lilianalaskowska6057]

Mustang is my faviourite horse breed💗💗💗😍😍😍😍😄😄

[@emilymull6982]

I recently bought a mustang in hopes of training him for trailing. He is so wild and scared of people the 2 trainers I've payed to come break him have failed. Claiming he's "too aggressive to work with". The only time we've even been simi able to get a haleter on him, he bolted and choked himself and we had to cut it off immediately. I'm supprised to see how willing this mustang was.

[@missgms7781]

That is because horses must not be broken, but rather, trained. The whole break a horse shit is dangerous and harmful, try searching for qualified, certified horse behaviorists, they know how to use horse body language and psyche to tame and train horses in safe and efficient way, also be careful with who you hire, some people are scammers and animal abusers who take advantage of situations like yours.

[@princessash1692]

Why is the horse so beautiful I always wanted a brown like that and a black horse any color is pretty but those are my main ones

[@Kopano.Tlali69]

This is my horse exactly. She and her foal don't want to be ridden nor touched. I start to approach and she gets frightened and runs away. All I want to do is ride her down to the old town road.

[@lokelanienglehart1810]

How many hands is that horse 🐎 he is so pretty I love him. How does he ride? Have you done anything like this before? I know I am asking a lot of questions but I love this horse and I only have watched 1 video of him

[@tv-ts3yg]

nice video^^

[@Caleb_ONeal]

So cool my horse is part mustang she is in my last video great job

[@adilnaelmalik1589]

I love mustangs

[@pureangelsweet]

So gorgeous :heart eyes: You've taught him well :DD

[@pedrotrejo3262]

its a nice one

[@nateharris9851]

Ya I wouldn’t hold the lead rope if I were you either I love it when horses spin on me and I have no control and they kick the shit out of me

[@jencaisse7392]

Whats the difference between putting the lead under the throat latch and chin piece? I can tell there is a difference, but what exactly is it?

[@colekonthel]

big mustang

[@JustASleepySloth]

Not bad not sure how many days in this is but the horse is responding really well, but a little bit too much posturing and pressure which made the horse uncomfortable this "30 days" is bullcrap just take your time, let it go on for months make sure they're really comfortable with everything

[@AD-gu4ju]

The point of the 30 days and things like the mustang magic/makeover competition are to encourage people to adopt mustangs. Some people really think they can never bond with a wild horse or that they can never be trained. This is to show them that they can be, even in 30 days they’ll show improvement.

[@madisonrose5178]

TheAssholeProphet u took the words out of my mouth

[@martyg1342]

Hi, I just came across your video, he's a beautiful mustang, I've adopted a mustang my self (4 yr old mare from "Devil's Garden" in California, her name is Delilah) thru an approved trainer at the "Mustang heritage foundation TIP program" and they gentle the horse, meaning before I take possession of the horse they should be able to be haltered, lead, pick up all four feet and be able to trailer, the rest is up to me. I'm just curious as to why did you put two halters on him? any particular reason ? Thank you so much for sharing your journey with your mustang. I'm sure that some us can appreciate and benefit from your videos, again thank you !

[@charlottec6257]

I could be wrong, but i think he had the one halter on him already and he was trying to teach him how to halter comfortably but he also wanted control in case he spooked

[@markwarrier9949]

I'd give up my hectic life to do this

[@heartagold8176]

This mustang is surprisingly willing for most part. I don't see what others are commenting on. The horse needs to understand and get used to the motions of his partner. Rythm is great, but do is a well-acted out horse. Lol.

[@heartagold8176]

Spell check... so is a well-sacked out horse.

[@chamarystigers8731]

You good job training horse

U should have say it with Arthur Morgan accent The horse will bond with u till level 4

Will this boy ever be up for sale? I'm not sure if you sell your mustangs. And if so do you have a website?

[@horsetrainer4032]

Thank you Nicole! Justice is quite an amazing Mustang and we are really happy with him. Tim adopted him to keep personally. We don't have any mustangs up for adoption at this time. Keep in touch with us! www.allhorsestrained.com

[@nicoledavis5719]

I am absolutely not surprised he is a once in a lifetime mustang! thank you for the information!!

[@hxdhv73]

My family has a weird way of breaking/training a horse to be rode we make a little bridle like thing and have about 10 ft of rope behind it then blind fold it so it is in our hands for it to not run into anything and if you do it good (good is just making sure he/she don’t run into anything) he/she gains your trust and you can eventually lead up to getting on it took us about 20 minutes to be able to somewhat ride it and about an hour later she rode really good

[@tanishabennett1455]

Can you make a video? We have a quarter horse but can’t ride him

[@hxdhv73]

@@tanishabennett1455 get a halter, get 2 ten foot ropes, tie the ropes to the halter, blindfold the horse, and walk him around and make sure he don’t run into anything and he will eventually gain trust, i had a young horse and it took 20 minutes to be able to ride him.

[@jonicole522]

What's the whistling for,, cause I train rescues and would like to get a mustang as my first self owned horse.

[@tatyanakenney9897]

To get the horse focus on him a believe I might not be correct but I wouldn’t use it I would used focus but again I don’t know

[@alliancecontracting8117]

Lol mine won’t let me halter him 5 days in

[@shalomccs]

When you see those ears moving back he is telling you move away.

[@curtussmith143]

Body language, no need to baby talk. For that matter other than clucking or a soothing whoa, there is no need to talk to a horse. The only other opinion I have to share is to act as natural as you can with the horse. He will be jumpy yes, but you need to keep desensitizing those matters until he realizes it's just natural. Your making great progress your horse is looking great. Keep up the good work

[@balusubramamiyaarbalu0073]

any video

[@goeja]

Haha we tame and rode them en a few hours. Good to see you get it in 30 days

[@Robert.420]

Wheres day 1 29

My horse was quite the mustang but sadly he lost his eye and now he can’t get trained

[@leroykeim5821]

Very cool for a mustang must have.sacked him before

He’s so beautiful! You should work his feet more 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@DARKhorses73]

Worry about what the hindquarters do first then the head goes down naturally. :)

[@annc3102]

That is a big Mustang, I thought they were small

[@majorandme5254]

Ann C ha a mustang small (it’s all a joke no harm is meant to be done by this comment) mustangs definitely aren’t small they need to be big because they have to defend themselves and there Herd from predators such ass cougars coyotes and much more

[@ericasmith3490]

My 3 year old mustang is 15.1 going to be huge!

[@berakahbrower8388]

It just depends on the horse but I would say 80% are around 14.2 I think he is the biggest one I've seen. Sooo gorgeous ❤

[@warrenwallace2]

There's more to it though after walking the horse into the water slowly put water on the horse with your hands rubbing the horse with water after he calms down slowly mount the horse rubbing the horse letting him know you mean no harm then walk him for 2 hours then dismount him in the water and walk him out next day do the Same for 3 days on the third day ride him out and ride him around.

[@pencilRC1]

He looks like my rdo horse except a different color

[@MattyDemello]

I wouldn't throw the end of the rope halter around his neck though. Just 1 tap near the eyes and he won't be to happy and you'll have to start over. What a good horse. Lots of try and following you nicely

[@mainanmurahanak]

Are u sure this wild mustang???

[@balusubramamiyaarbalu0073]

mustang

[@XteroBlade2117]

I would have a Ford Mustang right next To that horse

[@kendallgoulet8021]

doesn't*

[@myfriendoretheshepherd6618]

It breaks my heart that they gilded this wild mustang stallion! Why, why, why, would the BLM NOT HAVE LET THIS ONE GO SO HE COULD PROCREATE?

[@yoboybraden5157]

No they have to do it, so the population of mustang's dont over populate, and he is in great hands this guy has a great method

[@balusubramamiyaarbalu0073]

Marvalas brother

[@bugsbunny7392]

Should’ve done the down under horsemanship method

[@thatemily1961]

Is this horse sold? And can I buy a horse you trained?

[@lulubelleish]

Did I accidentally watch a scared Poofta ..working with a Horse !

[@abdikal566]

I think he's mixed with ARABIAN and Spanish

[@azizhachimi8744]

He looked like he was afraid of the horse...Normal though, but not for a professional!

[@TJ-uy3bq]

Anyone else here from rdr2

[@shellyhiggins3618]

My gosh, please just slow down. I'm almost as jumpy as the horse jut from watching the video. He has a kind eye and he is definitely watching you...just slow down and he could trust a lot more.

[@yoboybraden5157]

It's a method called desensitizing, your supposed to go that pace, it gets the horse used to the faster movements, so when he is used to that you go at a natural pace, so it is nothing and really easy for the horse

[@krutarthpatel740]

Day 30 and still he does not trust you...it isnt a great progress

[@berakahbrower8388]

Are you a horse trainer?

[@raphmaster23]

Every horse is different.

[@susanflowers7425]

He looks very uncomfortable to me, I can see him quiver when you reach out to touch him. Your movements aren't fluid, but then I'm not nor am I professing to be a horse trainer. I'm sure you know what you're doing, that's just my observation

[@gracelui6944]

Susan Flowers well obviously the horse is gonna be nervous

[@yoboybraden5157]

Being a little skittish, is completely natural for horses that are not used to new things or activities like this

[@gerrycoleman7290]

You don't flip the rope halter end up like that. You need to learn how to put on a rope halter. And you are afraid of the horse. If you don't think the horse knows that, then you are crazy. The horse views you as a lower horse.

[@crowhopp1203]

I like how he said he only leads if hes on the inside. Why in the hell would you put yourself on the outside between the gate and horse. One hell of a way to get yourself in a pickle. This is very poor “ training” and lack of know how on this guy. You could learn a fee things by clinton andersons method. Gain his respect on the ground by moving his feet , backwards, forwards, left and right. Im tellin ya, it works. Dont matter if its a mustang , through-bred, or zebra. It works.

[@bastipate8716]

Take the gloves off pleaseee

[@whitleyspencer7375]

Basti Pate why ?

[@jakev4191]

Basti Pate yea why i think the horse would need to get use to it. In your case he could never wear them?

[@warrenwallace2]

This goes to show how much we have lost in intelligence. The easiest way and natural way to train a wild horse is to walk the horse into water up to his belly and mount the house and walk him in the water for 2 hours a day for 3 days and let him or her know there ok.

[@coffeeworld6107]

İt is not wild

[@kendallgoulet8021]

you don't say training, you say breaking.

[@ivycarr5179]

Excuse me, breaking? "Breaking" is a traditional horse training word in reference of "breaking the horses spirit", shutting it down, making it feel that it has no other option but to comply; Giving it no free will to trust on its own. I have seen many horses being "broken in", where their head is tied as high as it can on a pole, front feet are lifted off the ground, and their legs are tied under them, saddles are thrown on their backs, weighed down with sand bags. The horse is then "desensitized" while people throw tarps,shoot guns, and whip the horse until it has completely shut down and stopped moving from exhaustion. These people then take these amazing creatures on their first ride, soon after untying them from the pole. the horse is so exhausted that it has no energy to fight back. I am not trying to sound rude, but "breaking" is a word that should be erased out of the equine vocabulary. There are now science based, truly force free ways of training that bring out the best in a horse. Please look up Connection Training, Georgia Bruce, The Willing Equine, Karen Pryor. These people are the most up to date, educated, and professional animal trainers you will find today.

[@camaross7105]

Ford mustang mord fustang

[@kendallgoulet8021]

and that horse should be tied up so he does run away

[@mphorsemanship4737]

Kendall Goulet it’s called ground tying. And it teaches the horse to stand still without relying on force. Especially when working with mustangs that can have a flight response(running away) it’s safer for both the horse and trainer.

[@hattiepryor5119]

That's a broke horse not a wild one
