Cory needs to adopt this gorgeous Mustang. He just hasn't realized it yet.

[@heikebey4482]

That would be wonderful for Cory and the gorgeous Mustang. He would be in the best of hands and care. The Mustang looks so beautiful, his leg markings are stunningly beautiful!

[@Lily.Fern.1107]

I love his coloring and leg markings! Just gorgeous! 😍❤🐴🐎

I’ve loved watching Cory’s methods of horse training. He is kind, gentle but firm when necessary.

[@chanteuse1978]

Absolutely love watching Kory work! This is humane training. Would love to see a video on training with draft horses, teaching them to pick up their feet and such

[@graffic13]

I would love to see the staff do the Mustang Makeover challenge for horse plus ... it would be great publicity and I think there's prize money you could put back into adoptions!! Spirit is amazing!!

@@fairygodmomma2313 the point of the makeover is to save and train a Mustang thats on BLM property,trained, and get him/her a home ... spirit probably already has a home lined up.

[@nanafarm1952]

One of the best horses we ever had was a BLK mustang out of the Burns capture. He had a special gentle nature to him but never took to a saddle. We had several trainers fail so just stuck with bareback. He ended his wonderful life at 26.

[@juliamclane8319]

You should think about getting Spirit when he is put up for adoption

[@amandamason6699]

Another fantastic episode ♥️ Loved the zebra markings on the mustang,great progress with the saddle pad 👍🏻

[@XxShellyW13xX]

The zebra markings indicates that he is of Spanish origin, making him an elite mustang, a true mustang.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

Love how Kory doesn't push too hard with the horses..always lets them know they've done well..his gentle demeanor and voice goes hand in hand with his treatment of the horses..reminds me of my dad..who was a very masculine guy but was quietly spoken and gentle..just like the lovely Kory..

[@DebbieHollandNZ]

Spirit is so beautiful and Cory was amazing with him. Wouldn't he like to keep him and make him his?

[@bcgrote]

I wonder if Mouse has been Shadowfoot's seeing eye horse as that cataract got worse? That probably makes the separation more nerve-wracking for her. Mouse seemed ok alone, but Shadow kept coming back up to her. Hopefully more work and time will get them ok.

[@katiecallicoat9543]

No but they were pasture mates and adjoining pastures mouse came from Stroud in Shadow foot had been ran through 2 auctions before I picked her up she was skinny and sick I called the number on the coggins and learned that she had been with an older gelding and her baby for 8 years so I do believe this is where her separation anxiety comes from

[@kathybradbury]

That mustang is gorgeous! I love the stripes on his knees, his markings are superb. I wish I could have a horse-I pray whoever gets him treats him well.

[@kajinsautumn9833]

Spirit is amazing!! If I was 25 yrs. younger, I'd LOVE to adopt him, but at 67, it would not be fair to him. I have a 22 yr. old Tennessee Walker that is still going strong though so he keeps me busy! Love the patient calm way Kory trains.

[@Elilith666]

Kory is my favourite person to watch on your channel. I love his approach with horses, so calm yet confident. Truly the natural horsemanship.

[@lisamcdonald9304]

That Mustang you were training is gorgeous! And you did so well with him!!!

[@aremedyproject9569]

That Copper horse is wonderful. Well put together and bright. I think he’s a Saddlebred cross. Reminds me of a National Show Horse I used to ride (Saddlebred/Arab cross). She was like this. Curious, alert, looking out at everything and smart. They’re often misjudged as hyper.

[@XxShellyW13xX]

I was thinking Saddlebred too. The build, those ears, his eyes and facial expressions just ring Saddlebred! Yes, even a cross too!

[@judytinker3392]

That Mustang is gorgeous. Yes, Corey does need to adopt him. I’ve never seen a prettier horse.

[@renattaburke3500]

I really like this Farrier. He lets the horses be the focus.

[@renayeblack5906]

Yep, and he seems very knowledgeable.

[@Laurencemardon]

Hi gals; I noticed how in the deBrief shoot he expressed what exactly had gone well in terms of working at this facility. This kind of feedback is probably very helpful to everybody involved, and reinforces the concept that it’s a team effort.

[@pennycombes2559]

Whilst ALL you folk are absolute stars I do believe Cory is the treasure. So multi talented and so calm and gentle in his approach. He needs to be cloned!!

[@jenniferlehman326]

Kory, I've found in my 50+ years of working with all breeds of horses, is that, "The last thing they learn, is the first thing they remember", if done correctly. I'm sure you're underestimating the 2 weeks!! LOL Love from a fellow trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. P.S. I have an Uncle on my father's side, that calls Lebanon, Tennessee home!! 💖 💖 🇨🇦🇺🇸

This is one of two subscriptions that I look forward to. I love Horse plus. Your staff are excellent, with the exception of the three girls that didn’t fit in. Your organization is exceptional and I love what you do to better the lives of horses and other animals that need you. God bless.

[@tracym6297]

Another awesome episode! Thank you Kory for talking about how to hold the lead rope. I see so many people have them looped so that if the horse pulls, for whatever reason, they're going to get caught in it and get injured bad. Great information.

[@sandrajebb2790]

Congrats and best wishes to Caleb and Shelby!! love the beginning of a great bond between Kory and Spirit, I think Spirit will be a wonderful horse for someone. Keep up the good work everyone and bright blessings to you all.🥰

Wow beautiful zebra markings on the mustang. Zebra dun, beautiful coloring on this handsome mustang!

He's doing so good. I love the Mustangs.

[@kathycarbone7545]

Love the description during training Spirit. Thanks so much!!

[@donnac.1609]

Spirit looks like a Kiger Mustang from Oregon. Very distinct bloodlines.....Spanish if I remember right! There are KZbin videos on the Kiger so take a look and see if you agree! DNA would probably confirm. Very respected breed.....if he is Kiger he is worth quite a bit more than other Mustangs!

[@janinecarson8380]

They said in an earlier video that he was gathered in Utah, so he wouldn’t be a Kiger. They are from Oregon. The zebra stripes aren’t unique to Kigers.

[@donnac.1609]

@@janinecarson8380 I was only mentioning that he sure looks like Kiger. When he was surrendered did the fellow show the adoption paperwork to prove where he came from? If the shelter wants to they can do DNA. I would.

[@guy8646]

I agree that he looks like a kiger mustang. It’s the coloring, stripes and black/blond mane. I know dun isn’t restricted to kigers but it’s a huge coincidence that Spirit has all the other classic traits. Previous owner might have been wrong, or, maybe Spirit made his way somehow to a Utah BLM facility from Oregon. Or maybe he’s just a regular mustang with Kiger qualities.

[@donnac.1609]

@@guy8646 HE should be able Tobe traced by his tattoo number......he is so classy with good conformation and as you say he has strong Kiger traits!

[@janinecarson8380]

@@donnac.1609 Would you make any association with Kiger if not for the coloring? Not all Kigers have the dun with stripes and many other non-Kigers do. He is a classy looker all right but so are many other mustangs. Would DNA testing currently available narrow it down to a specific mustang herd? Doubtful.

The draft with only half his hoof, is it possible to fit him with a silicone molded hoof, until his own grows out? I certainly hope so, for his sake!

one of these horses use to be my moms. glad to see she is doing good

[@Oxyacantha]

I've never seen a horse learn faster or more willingly than a mustang. I've also never seen a horse more hare-brained and unpredictable than a mustang. However, for the latter, it was only one mustang, and she was completely unlike any other I've worked with, until I found the perfect adopter for her and she settled down entirely. Turned out she was hyper-reactive to being around other horses. Incidentally, good note on how to hold the lead rope... I've seen even long-term handlers loop the lead rope around their hand instead of sidewinding it.

[@XxShellyW13xX]

That Buckskin Mustang has Spanish blood in him. That puts him into the elite Mustang, a true mustang, not just a so called feral horse. I'd love to see what the other two look like.

Do you happen to know if Spirit is from the Onaqui mustang herd in Utah? We travel out there often because it’s only 45 minutes from Salt Lake City. I’ve seen a lot of those beautiful duns with the nice heavy dorsal stripe and he’s just a beautiful horse… whoever adopts him is going to be really lucky, it’s a healthy beautiful herd.
