Hey! I don't know if I included it in this video or the last one (or maybe I just forgot in total) but she does have a little cut on the inside of her right leg. She was getting cold hosed, and wrapped so it would heal. It's taking awhile to heal, but she's just fine now (week 6 currently). These clips were when the cut was still fresh. It also doesn't help that the ground is super uneven in the roundpen, and her hooves are in desperate need of a trim. She's all set now.

How long do you train each day? Also you've probably said it but what color is she?

I’ve watched all your videos and... 1. Thank you for making videos which I can recommend to my young horse-loving grandchildren! (No bad language) 2. For the ignorant (me) you are so informative. I am amazed at what you are able to do with these horses. 3. I was unfamiliar with the wild mustang programs. How wonderful. 4. I love seeing your love for these animals. 5. Imho, learning more about how you started and progressed with training horses would be interesting. Maybe some “story times” ? That’s all. Thanks for teaching this ol’ grandpa!

Excellent progress with this Mare, no bond yet, but I can see it in the near future. I love your method of training with this difficult to read horse. You are so patient with her and it is paying off big time. Well done again and so looking forward to your next video. Thank you so much for posting.

@@mademoisellekaya1438 Thank you so much. She is a super horse with a super trainer.

Sam you have the perfection of patience. Your slow movements with Rue are extremely consistent...so much so that even I relax. She is winning me over big time. Also got a bit of a chuckle when she became a bit spunky. And I love how you fine tune your actions to her specific needs. Just awesome! Nibbling on your toes...it is hard to back off with such an easy target. Thanks for everything! Great video!

She is coming along nicely. Can tell the muscle tone is definitely coming too. Her issues could always be worse. She doesn't fuss tons.

You do a really good job explaining energy and how to use it.

Excellent progress. She seems to be relaxing into you more and is very willing. When she figures it out it seems to stick, going to be an excellent horse.

Great video! I love seeing your progress with her. She's definitely an interesting one to watch learn. Looking forward to next week!

These mustangs must be thinking, here comes that crazy girl, that wants to do the weirdest things! You do an awesome job and have an innate understanding of horse psychology. Thank you for sharing with us!

You guys are doing great! So much progress!

Do you ever watch Mia Lykke videos? I love watching your videos and hearing your voice-overs! This horse is so beautiful and seeing the friendship grow between you is a joy. You are an inspiration. I have always wanted to spend a lot of time with horses and watching these lets me live vicariously through you. So many people who love horses will never be able to have the freedom to dedicate so much time to them.

You must had a good teacher, you do a good job. I'm 61 wish I knew that much about horses 10thumbs up.

Teaching the forequarter yield can be so so hard with these more dominant personalities. I was ecstatic the day my mare finally figured it out.

Rue is looking fantabulous 🖤💛🖤

Wonderful Update! Thank very much! Laural

Ahh! She is SO pretty!! Im glad shes making progress

She looks beautiful in English tack! 😍

Good progress.

Sam VanFleet: Uploads a 37:10 video. Me: Grabs some snacks. 😎🍿🍹(Actually I do listen intently.) Also Me: Bust out laughing at 6:09

So incredibly interesting

I have a question...for your first ride on horses do you ride with a bit or bitless? Your videos are awesome!!!

Excellent.

How much time do you spend with her on a daily basis? And is that a normal amount for your mustangs? She seems like a bit of a challenge, though you’re doing a good job handling her. 😊

Hi, I have a multi-part question. I was wondering the average time you spend training each day and how many days/times a week. Also, if your times would change for a mustang that isn't in a challenge with a timeline.

Ok but that thumbnail looks badass!

When and where is the 2020 makeover, I would like to see this horse in person.thanks for the videos.

Roulette is so damn pretty 😍

i think when u say good girl she expects u to love on her n when u dont she gets mad..but i think she just doesnt understand y your not wanting her in ur space.maybe say another word after she does good..or try a cookie maybe she will stop .your r doing so good with her.and shes gonna b awesome.she matches ur english saddle too..never used one always bareback or western...great job sam,ive waited all wk 4 ur video to come out..today was my lucky day.peace from pa.

Barbie Warner when she says good girl she releases pressure, which is way more of a reward than a hug for a horse.

How many sessions do you do a day and for how long?

Did she figure out how to stay on the rail with long lines herself or did you specifically get her to do that? I guess I'm wondering if it just fell into place.

@SamVanFleet

She figured it out when I helped her and showed her how to. I don't necessarily need her on the rail, but I need her to steer where I'm asking her to go.

This mare came to you with a personality that included self confidence and some dominance. That is not true for all mustangs. Do you have any preferences about that? Are dominant horses more of a challenge to train. After intelligent training, do dominant horses end up being different from horses that are more naturally cooperative?

Can I ask what you use to record your videos? I thought it was your phone until I saw your phone in your pocket

I think this one I bought from a Dover Saddlery somewhere. It's a Pessoa! If you aren't going to ride in it though, and mainly use the saddle for desensitizing, I'd just get a used Wintec or Circuit saddle- they are a little cheaper (makes me feel less bad about them getting beat up haha).

Out of curiosity, do you use parts of CA’s method in your training? I know that he uses methods that are used by many trainers, however I’ve seen you use some methods that I’ve only ever seen him use. Such as tying to the back of the saddle (a.k.a. Checking around to the tail)

@SamVanFleet

4 жыл бұрын

Maybe. I haven't watched any of his DVDs/videos or learned from him, so I don't know. A lot of trainers teach their horse's to flex/bend by tying around the belly/to a saddle/to the tail that aren't Clinton Anderson people. Actually most of my trainer friend's do

@Lark LuvsHorses Clinton’s exercises are not exclusive to him. It’s the order of the exercises that make The Method. No offense to Sam I think she does pretty good, however she would see faster progress if she used The Method. By day 19 this horse should have 10 or so rides on her(definitely be out of the roundpen) and getting ready to go out on the trail. I would highly recommend the Colt Starting series. Maybe I take competition to seriously, but I would want to be on the horse at the start of the second week and be on the trail by the start of the second month.

Katie K. Oh I’m aware, that’s just one exercise that I’ve only ever seen Clinton use. The method is amazing and could probably make things go faster, but everyone has their own way of doing things and there’s nothing wrong with going a little slower.

@Lark LuvsHorses like I said I might be more competitive. Even though part of me feels the whole go slower just means to creep and sneak around, and a bit of a cop out for fear and lack of knowledge.

Quick question. I'm not sure if you've this one before but is she a true mustang? I was wondering because if so then you could trace her lineage back to the Spanish conquest.

I guess that was the way it was in week 3.. there was no bonding, well.. if I look closely the mare is at that point that she is figuring out that the only one she has is Sam.. and I truly need to watch it all back to pinpoint when the mare shows she wants a friend desperately but she is here in between the state of mind.. what do I do.. trust that human or what do I do.. And the way I notice that is when Sam asks something, she is slowly but surely willing to ask Sam, am I doing it right? And that the mare very slowly is leaning towards Sam, waiting for her approval.. but also still sometimes on hèr terms.. I see the curtain and big fence this mare has have around her very slowly crumbling down whilst fighting with herself.. also getting from behind that curtain and trying to find reassurance in Sam's space.. At this moment, in week 3, the mare is her own worst enemy but there are cracks in that headstrong stunning mare right now and Sam has found them and slowly but surely making those cracks opening ànd telling her it is okay to go through those cracks in your wall around you.. Sam, I hope this soms up week 3 psychological if I'm right?? And you are truly a very very VERY patient person and I truly believe that when those 100+ days have past.. that you can handle even more headstrong horses! And I honestly hope that you let Rue stay in your life because she is also the kind of horse that will help you in the future with other Mustangs, Mustangs that need you AND Rue..

This just happened with my mare when she became pregnant. I started by doing ground work in the morning to a light sweat. I then saddled her at about 9. I cinched in three stages. She then wore that saddle for the rest of the day. She would buck occasionally for the first few hours. By the end of the day she was back to her old self. That was a week ago. I’ve ridden her everyday since not one fit about the cinch.
