Must be hard to let such a unique horse go after having spent such an intense time together. It was wonderful to be able to join you and Rue on your journey. Thanks for that, Sam. She really is a special horse, and both of you can be happy to have met and to have made such an impact on each other. Greetings from Europe!

Hey Sam I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, and love how you work with the horses! Do you find it difficult to give them up? Personally, I can’t imagine spending so much time, building trust and a relationship, only to give them up at the end........ I know that’s the main reason, to find homes for the Mustangs, but it must be awfully hard on you......☹️ I admire your work and dedication. Love to watch the progress with each horse. Looking forward to what 2020 brings 😊

As an English rider myself, I am always happy to see the occasional English riding in the Mustang competitions! I was wondering how English riders were received in these shows, as it seems that the majority ride Western. Do you think that there is any bias against English?
@SamVanFleet
4 жыл бұрын
I don’t think so, I was just barely out of the top 10 (12th) and I was the only English rider there out of 50. I had a few bobbles which knocked me out, if I had just a few more points I would have made it. Maybe at the earlier makeovers, but now it seems pretty fair 😊

Sam VanFleet I was watching it as much as possible online- you did great! I am always curious about the English/Western “divide”- I know I certainly experienced some odd remarks about my “little patch of leather” that I ride with when I moved from the east coast/Boston after college (many years ago- Sam you weren’t even born yet) to Tucson AZ . Things are definitely much more diverse now- with many high quality stables which are open to both disciplines , thank goodness 👍🏼

Are there any penalties for those trainers that don't show up for the competition? What happens to the horses who don't participate? Also,I keep thinking about the black mare who went for around 6K that was in Roulette's original auction. I wonder if she made it to the competition.

You can choose to show up to the competition or not, you just have to let MHF know. They won’t care either way :) The horses that don’t participate either get adopted by the trainer, TIP trained out, or go back to holding. The one that went for 6K in that initial auction was not at the makeover.

Trainers auction horses in order to be able to adopt a new mustang. It also promotes the breed to a wider audience. I believe auction proceeds go to maintaining the program.

The video cut out with the auctioneer asking for "52" or $5200. At least I don't think anyone had bid yet. There was a pretty quick run from the starting bid of $2000 up through "48" or "48 hundred" and I think it settled around 51.

I love your videos but can I suggest that you tone down these horrible electronic tunes you use?? I have to keep switching between the volume of your voice that I have to play louder and then this music starts soo loud that I cant stand it and it hurts my ears. For me personally you could leave the music altogether, I like the sounds as is. But I also understand you want to spice a video up a bit. Keep on doing your wonderful work, so much to learn from your videos.
