What Is A Mustang Horse - Proud Cut Mr. T Was Caught In Hills Of Nevada

[@gelisgiallen4088]

Mr. T is simply magnificent. I'm so sorry you lost him, but equally glad that you gave him such a good horsey life.

[@EdD-ym6le]

HaHa I've been going back looking at older video's also because I just recently started watching the channel . Sad vid when he lost MrT . I'm glad he didn't have to use his side arm .

[@rossandhorses]

Look how full and beautiful Mr T was. Thick neck and proud, beautiful face. What a massive loss. RIP TANNER.

[@nickynoo5183]

I know, he was a unit! Glad to finally see the brand markings up close here too; I always tried to make them out in newer videos. I am still able to get my Tanner fix here, watching old videos. It’s just so very sad. His passing has had such an impact on me considering I don’t ride horses and never met Mr T!

[@debbieshifflett5656]

I agree, so many people loved him.

[@rossandhorses]

@@nickynoo5183 He became like apart of our families, especially because a lot of us have been watching for 10+ years. Mr T meant a lot to a lot of people and I’m thankful to Rick for sharing his and his animals lives with us. Mr T saved a lot of horses and was the best teacher of the horse. RIP.

[@KingsMom831]

Right!!?? One of a kind horse right here💛

[@jayhairpin4891]

Am I the only one enjoying these old ones of Mr.T ? He was sure a beautiful horse. Thanks Rick and rip Tanner. Joyce in Newman ca

[@livewire2759]

Na, I've seen several comments from the last week in these old videos. Looks like a lot of us are missing good ol' Mr. T. He was such a great horse.

[@valerieirvin249]

Nope.

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

This video popped up in my feed today. Mr. T was a great horse who never lost his mustang spirit, right up to that sad day when he passed. Rick took good care of him. Anyone who subscribes to Rick’s channel misses seeing him out in his field, keeping Buddy in line.🐎 🐴 🥕 🥕 🥕 🍎 🍎 🍎 😢

[@sharmanklinefelter508]

i agree have seen other mustangs tanner is the most beautiful

[@oregonsenior4204]

Tonight I am so glad you left this video up from 2009.

[@gwensailor598]

I’m here for that reason too

[@ninettepage]

I take my hat off and salute you. You were breathtakingly beautiful, so very clever you never missed anything, and I will always remember you fondly. RIP Mr T 💗💗💗

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

@TheCoolProfessor : A horse can carry 20 percent of it's weight comfortable, so if the horse is 1000 pounds, 200 pounds would be fine (including saddle and gear). This is a average and not a rule.

[@sandrapeterman57]

Thank you, Rick, for not removing your videos. They are so informative and so right on!

I love my yearling Mustang filly! I might be adopting an adult one next week! Thank you for inspiring me to adopt one of my own. Taloa, my Mustang, has been an amazing teacher!

[@nogames8982]

OMG! These videos are made when I first started watching Rick. Damn, time flies.

[@maryvallas772]

Oh my gosh Rick! This just showed up on my feed! I've been watching you for a couple of years, but never saw any videos from 10 years ago like this! Mr. T and Buddy both look so young! ❤

[@emilyshirey7556]

My mustang is from Nevada and was captured at the age of one to. Although he's only 2 now but hes great. Love how you explain how diffrent they can be, people seem to never understand when I try to tell them. Great video

[@ron-yv4jx]

Such a good Boy you are Tanner. So glad you and Dad found each other.....

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

@TheDylan222222 : Actually a horse is ONE horse power and that is how it all started. 10 horses pulling a wagon is "10 Horse power". As for the Mustang being a car, many have name different things after the wild Mustang to associate it with their speed, ability, wildness, strength and durability. Colt firearms came for the horse and they make a small powerful model called a Mustang. Look at the Levis' logo, it is two horses pulling to show the strength of the jeans.

[@justinpridgeon7069]

I can’t believe he’s gone

[@racheldianeames3729]

its so cool that tanner is part draft part mustang!!! tanner was very lucky when rick saved him from the slaughterhouse and gave him a 2nd chance at life and a easy retirement!! id bet tanner is very happy to have rick,buddy, and smokey in his life :)

I like the sound of "easy keepers" lol. That's exactly what I'm looking for on my small three acres.

[@susanford6926]

I loved the look back when Mr T was 17,he was "the horse"!

[@MissingTheSmiles]

Love your horse. I just ran into a horse in tennessee, who was left behind and abandoned. He was super shy and didn't like anyone but when I saw him, he just started loving on me. He was smelling me, licking the sweat off me, and he was just let me scratch him all over. The problem was he had a scar on his nose and hind leg and flies were just going at him. The good thing was he wasn't skinny, but only had rain water to drink. I wish I could have took him home, he was such a good young boy.

[@Queenfool]

Horses, puppies, chickens... If you love animals of any sort and live in the USA PLEASE READ! If you truly care about horses, then you'll go sign these petitions against the 'King Amendment' to the upcoming 'Farm Bill'. This would further those industries that are pushing to legalize and popularize horse slaughter for consumption, as well as overturn on a federal level many laws passed by various states that have made leaps and bounds in the cause against animal cruelty, affecting things like the standards that breeders and puppy mills are supposed to be upheld to, the treatment of egg laying hens, and many others. (Also keep in mind, these industries buy pre-owned horses, young and old, healthy and sick, but many of them Vetted, and so are no longer safe for human consumption due to chemicals used in horse vaccines.) Please, read about it on viable sites like: - www.humanesociety.org/issues/confinement_farm/king-amendment.html, and - www.huffingtonpost.com/bruce-friedrich/steve-king-the-tea-party-_b_3969209.html . And do even more research! Please, call your representative and spread the word against this! Also please call Louisiana Senator Mary Landreu, as she is very much involved in this process and has a staunch stance against horse slaughter. These are some petitions available for signing as well! - www.thepetitionsite.com/788/983/563/stop-the-amendment-on-the-farm-bill/ - capwiz.com/aspca/issues/alert/?alertid=62786331 - www.thepetitionsite.com/230/852/940/stop-the-king-amendment-to-the-farm-bill/

Good morning Rick, 💕💕 Majestic Tanner 💕💕

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

@xOLauraJaneOx : Unfortunately there are too many and they are being killed and slaughtered every day. Anyone over here can own one for about 100 dollars, but not enough people to buy and save them.

[@shycountrymiss]

My mustang mare Bayle, from the Twin Peaks herd is an easy keeper too. Puts on weight extremely easy. So easy that I have a problem keeping her from getting too fat, but she's a great horse. She's bigger than usual as well at 4yo. A genetic study on the twin peaks herd showed that they had saddlebred in their genetics. Cool video.

[@pegleg2959]

I'm not a horse person, but I always think these mustang types are some of the most beautiful and healthy looking horses. Their proportions look strong. Big stong feet, thicker legs, shorter stouter muzzle, strong back, thick neck. The race horse types always look like they're going to snap a leg when the wind blows, you can tell they're breeding has been manipulated by humans and they'd do awful in the wild. Mustangs and draft horses just look, right. If that makes any sense. And they have a confidence and calmness about them that the racehorse types don't have.

[@katrina917]

That means Mr T is about 30 years old. Damn

Here was me thinking that Americans had a problem with evolution through natural selection, and yet here's an actual Nevada cowboy explaining it as though it's the most obvious thing in the world. And without any blowback in the comments? Interesting!

He's not a nevada cowboy. He lives in texas and he was got tanner while living in texas.

I plan on adopting one from there at some point once I learn more about riding and horse care and everything in between. By the way I love Tanner!

[@HEMI-MOMMA]

How many hands is Mr. T? I've tried to find what breed Buddy is. How many years have they been together? I'd like your opinion on the Million Dollar Mustang Challenge if you'd be kind enough to share. I'm a huge advocate of our legendary American treasures - the Mustang. However, I feel stuck between a rock and the horses. Yes, I believe there's not a finer horse "breed" out there that is as versatile as the Mustang. The Mustang Challenge has done a great job by showing John Q. Public what the trainers can do with wild caught horses in an extremely short amount of time. I see a lot of young girls commenting on those KZbin videos and I fear mommy and daddy will go to the nearest BLM Adoption event, bid on a horse because Suzie Q. loves horses with spots, coughs out $700 and takes Suzie's new birthday present home. (I'm shivering as I type). Suzie knows everything because she's seen it done on KZbin. (You get my point) I'd love to see more and more Mustangs being used by mounted police, mounted military units such as the riderless horse now used at the National Cemetary for our fallen's funerals. We have to get them out of those damn BLM holding pens. Federal land is being used for cattle grazing and they're destroying our natural resources. The mustangs are not. Sorry for my rant. Thanks in advance for anything you can share.

[@M0nsterMakerMellie]

Mr T/Tanner is probably (just a guess), 15.2 hh, possibly a bit shorter/taller. Buddy is a quarter horse as far as I know.

[@LadyKaliska]

One of the best breeds out there? They are the best! (I'm bias, I can't help it) Thanks for posting this vid with the wonderful commentary. It always makes me happy to see any mustang get into a good adopted home Tanner is a very handsome boy. Love his soft eyes!

[@zeetaada]

Could you give me advice how to be with sensitive horse like mr. T? I have 18 years old gelding who is very sensitive and gives me my space, he follows me around but he's really cautious and respectful. And thats also good thing but is there any way i can show him that sometimes he could come closer and enjoy petting and grooming? I have never punished him for coming close to me or anything.

[@annikaheydl7342]

Anniina Ruuhi off the top of my head I'd suggest taking baby steps. Slowly get him used to your touch. If he follows you try approaching him in the least direct and aggressive manner you can so that he doesn't feel threatened. Be persistent, if he goes away try being more subtle, pretend you're walking to a spot that's near him and slowly inch closer without looking straight at him because that will make you look like a predator. He should allow you to stay close if you do it right. When you manage this slowly reach out and touch his shoulder (it's usually the most neutral spot to start). If he looks startled or alarmed stroke him gently in that spot until he relaxes (I'd wait until he starts grazing to be sure). Then slowly move along the neck, stopping every time he raises his head and repeating what you did the first time. If you reach the head and he looks calm and lets you pet him there then congrats. I'd suggest spending some time there as it can be a vulnerable place for them. Once you've reached the head work your way around the rest of the body. What is key here is patience, making yourself as unthreatening as possible, and just spending time with your horse other than riding and grooming. Him associating you and your touch with relaxing things such as grazing will make him feel at ease around you.

[@greencat1314]

Annika Heydl you could have spend that time better :p The comment is 3 years old.
