Oh my, I was stressing so hard in the last minute, it was my first auction and I kept thinking someone was gonna outbid me for my filly 6628 but fortunately no one did and she's gonna be my first little mustang
Congratulations! I'm hoping to join the club in the next few years. I hope we get to hear about your experience. If you want to share video on here I'd follow
This video was amazing! I love all those beautiful horses the one with the blue eyes was magical! The last one look just like my horse Ari! She has little dots like that too! 🩷✨
I really like the way you do this. My favorite was the paint with the bald face. Thank you so much for doing this. And, I think your taking your time and making sure the trust if developed is excellent.
It's interesting to see such an overwhelming majority of mares in the most expensive Mustangs! I thought it would be a mix, but I think there was only one gelding in that whole video! I love that this video showcases the gorgeous colors and lovely conformation of so many Mustangs. This attention on them certainly must help improve their value overall.
I could look at these all day also !! Have two definite favs but not my time- yet. And besides, the goal is to have one trained by you ! Thanks for the fun shopping trip ! Lol !!!
#1750, 5 year-old bay mare would be very interesting to me, but I live in the Dominican Republic and can't bid on these horses. But if she were here, I would have thought about getting her. Find it strange that nobody wanted her. I hope she'll get a wonderful home Edit: #3088 6 year-old sorrel mare seems to be a great one, too. Curious and not very nervous in the video. Pretty good for having been caught at age 4 and not having been touched at all yet. Lovely proportions, too 💖
15 hands is a bit of a rarity and mustangs can be a difficult fit for a lot of people. I went to an adoption event where all the guys over 6' had only a couple of horses that could fit them. Only two looked to be 15/15+ hand horses and they were the high sellers. I also noticed 3792's HMA is in the same neck of the woods as Devil's Garden, so they're likely genetically the same or very similar and that would attract attention. I got to spend a good amount of time with a BLM manager who offered an interesting work around for the size issue. Rather than compete for the bigger ready-to-start horses, there were a few big, well built colts in the yearling pen who could grow out exceptionally well with good nutrition. A bonus: If you already have a 5' round pen, you're good to go and don't need to buy or build a 6' pen.
Yeah I noticed that too. And if you look through the horses there was a whole group of 3-4 year olds that were 15+ hands that didn’t even get bid on. It’s weird that they were all focused on that one instead of choosing a different one.
@@casdragon_5939 Same here! Size preference somewhat depends on the type of riding or work as well. Personally, I think a medium built horse at 14 to 14.2 hands is just better on his feet weaving through brush and getting over dead falls for people our size. Even better, I got my start working cows as a light, lanky kid on a paint quarter pony who was impossible to beat for gathering cows who'd run into the woods. What I should have included is weight along with my mention of height - taller people being heavier. One group who came together were either all related and/or eat at the same table. At 6' and 200 lbs., I felt like a jockey standing next to them and thought they should be shopping for draft crosses. Even rarer than 15 hand mustangs are 16, almost 17 hand mustangs like 'Big Bob' who a BLM rider used to move and sort horses at an adoption event I attended. You wouldn't need a pack horse along to go horse camping with one like him. I'm pretty sure Big Bob could carry everything you need. 😄
Such cutties, but I am getting a bit annoyed by the word Sorrel 🙄 it's a bloody chestnut! If it's orange it's a chestnut! Americans making up names again! 30 years ago half the colours of horses didn't exist! I do love the variety of horses found over there. And I'd certainly love to know why the weird looking curly mustangs are popular? I'd love if you'd explain a touch more to us non Americans about anything you think particular ones are special & why 😊. What are the DNA breakdown of mustangs & a brief history. Also love that you're supporting bitless, it is disappointing the mustang shows don't require Entrance to be completely bitless to me that shows more horsemanship! If the large horse shows don't require that I'm surprised someone hasn't started one that is. Anyway keep up the good work.
