Where Did He Go? | Buffalo Hills 2024

[@commishg]

Sam, my heart goes out to you. You have obviously anguished over this situation, and I commend you for working so hard to give Soup his best option at this time. You have not failed Soup. To the contrary, you have done the best you could do for him under the present circumstances. Most importantly, do not let this episode deter you one minute from your calling. Instead, double down on doing what God has called you and gifted you to do with these horses. Prayers and best wishes for the next chapters in your journey.

Yay for Soup! I’m sure you did the best by him. He is a beauty, please give us further updates on him when you can. Thanks Sam, this must have been very difficult.

Thank you so much for posting this update on Soup. He reminded me a lot of my older mustang mare that I am restarting after giving her time to rest and decompress. She's never mean, just needs a lot of repetition, time, and patience. I learned a lot from those videos, and I hope to one day see you work for a more extended period of time with a sensitive horse and document the journey!

[@HeatherStrickler]

So happy you found the right place for him!

[@Lilee177]

Wishing the best for Soup. I hope that he is happy at this new facility ❤

[@marilynmccormack5905]

Thanks for the update Sam. Sounds like the best situation for this lovely boy. Hope his journey is a great one. And thanks for being so thoughtful & caring ❤❤

[@Whisperz797]

Oh Sam, I am so happy to see this update with Soup! I was so worried about him and I knew you wouldn't let him down! I have watched you for many years so I am very happy with your decision for him. He is a beautiful boy! Thank you again for your caring and concern for these mustangs! ❤❤❤

[@marilynbridges8697]

It can be so very hard to do what is best for animals and also people. The effort you are putting into that for these horses proves your integrity. Anyone who thinks horses don't understand or communicate is totally wrong. I am glad he is close so that you can maybe stop in and reconnect occasionally. Thanks, Sam, for all you are doing for horses.

[@laurajohanna]

This has been a tough situation and how you handled this shows how much you care 🫶🏻 you make every horses' lives better that you meet and train and I think they also understand that 🥺

[@erikafreebird6449]

You did the right thing for you and so importantly the horse. Your institution is very in tune and it's a blessing that you listen to it the way you do. 🐴❣️🙏🤗✨

[@SharonP8356]

It's so amazing that this all fell into place for you and Soup! Thanks for all your hard work, questions, research and for your true love for Mustangs..a forever home for him if he wants to remain a bit wild is the best ending of this update anyone could ask for! Waiting on your newest update next..new Mustang to take Soup's spot?

[@cutefan5playsmsp895]

Oooo what a happy ending for Soup. I'm sure you are relieved. Thank you for trying hard to help him.

[@WildLilyHorsemanship]

I'd love a video about the animal communicator! I always find what they say to be SO interesting. Props to you for stepping back and doing what's best for Soup!

[@DustyRider]

Thank you for listening to him and making the decision in his best interest.

[@audreygregis8721]

Sam, as you well know, not every wild Mustang is meant to be gentled. It's such a hard situation, and I know you didn't make it lightly. Since his energy was so much better after arriving at his new home, that's a sign you did the right thing....for him. And this could change! Maybe he just needs time, his own time. I would LOVE to know what the animal communicator said. Whether people believe it or not, I've always kept an open mind. There is SO much we do not know, or understand. Personally, we would be silly not to keep an open mind. What if you missed an opportunity to learn. I know I did the same years ago with a horse from a rescue, especially once hearing stories from those who knew what an equitation stable put this horse through. When we are backed up against a wall, you try anything and everything.

Great job Sam! What an awesome turn out for such a sweet boy! He will be really happy to there, good on you for doing what's best for him!! Hes a really good example that horse training is not about whispering but listening! Awesome job girl!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@BernandoTurner]

❤Awwwwwww so great to see you Sugar.. you be careful out there with the wild horses.🍀😀

[@gblb788]

Soup ❤ Would love to hear about the communication. ❤️

[@timhumphrey8482]

Very wise Sam. All the best for soup!

[@Polopony20.]

Id love to hear what the communicator said about him!

[@SamVanFleet]

@@Polopony20. send me an email! I was going to type it up this week to send it to those interested. I have to written in a notebook

[@BlueWhale5155]

He was so so sweet deep down and was trying, but some just want to be wild. Actually one of my favorites on this channel, I wish he worked out. No shame in that! Real question is, why did you name him soup!? 😂

[@SamVanFleet]

@@BlueWhale5155 isn’t it a cute short sweet name 🥹 I don’t know my names don’t have meaning I just like them and they fit 😆

[@akessler2596]

I'm so glad a place for him came up quickly! I imagine you are aware of Skydog Sanctuary?

[@Lilee177]

Skydog are not good. And they only take famous mustangs.

[@DonnaRoushall]

@@Lilee177BS

[@renayeriggin5293]

@@Lilee177that is not true. Most of their rescues are not “famous” at all. The majority of their rescues are older horses.

[@Whispering_rain_farms]

This is why I love you

[@sariburr3927]

Great decision for him !

[@elamanvetta1685]

Soup will be okay because he has people who care about him. He's lucky you're the one who took him.❤ I'm ecstatic he's in a sanctuary. Can you ask them if we can donate to them?

I'm so glad you don't live in Los Angeles.
