Bidding on my dream horse + HOW TO adopt a Wild Mustang

hi there welcome back to my channel guys i found my dream horse she is stinking perfect i told you guys that my next personal horse surreal is for the extreme mustang makeover i am not keeping her i wanted a arabian paint that was 16 hands and i was like guess what i'm never going to find my dream horse because arabians don't come in paint and they don't come in 16 hands then one of my subscribers actually reached out to me and said have you ever heard of pentabeans they have 99 arabian blood and they look like a pinto i was like oh my gosh i've never heard of that why have i never heard of that and they're big and i was like oh my gosh so that's the horse that i was gonna get so i had my heart set on a pentagon but then i went looking bad idea i know and i found her but she's not a pentagon or penta however you say it's not an arabian guy she's actually a mustang and she is going to be auctioned off in about two hours so i thought hey might as well make a how-to video on how to do this and bring you guys along the journey to see if i am able to get my dream horse it is very unlikely that i will win the bid because she's basically perfect and she's probably gonna go for a lot of money but i'm gonna try anyways if i can get her for a good amount i will and if i can't then at least it was a good experience my heart might break in the process i mean it's not every day that you find a 15 two-hand pinto two-year-old mustang not everyday she is literally the picture of freedom and beauty and grace and she knows it if you want to adopt a wild mustang but you don't want to do a tip challenge or an extreme mustang makeover there are other ways to go about it in fact you don't usually keep the mustang that you do an extreme mustang makeover with those mustangs go for auction and if you want to keep it you actually have to bid against other people there are other options one of those ways is to go to an in-person adoption event of course that does limit to you to those horses in those corrals there is another option that gives you a little bit more variety and that is the online corral there you can view the available horses that they have from many different pickup locations and from different corrals around the country you'll just want to make sure that one of the pickup locations is semi near you you can get almost anything they have untouched mustangs and tip trained mustangs but be careful when you go looking because you might just find exactly what you want which can be both good and a bad thing financially speaking i'm not in the market right now for a horse i have my hands completely full with surreal but sometimes your dream horse comes around at not the exact right time and you just gotta go for it i'm gonna walk you through how to adopt a mustang through the online corral the best way to do this is to type in wildhorsesonline.blm.gov that stands for bureau of land management now you've got to go all the way down to the animal gallery we're going to try and find an animal you can either search through this entire database of horses or you can put in specifications of what you want color age gender pick up location yada yada whatever you want personally i'm a tall girl i need a horse that is big so i'm going to put in the height really this is the only thing i really care about and then i can judge appearance later so i put in 15 hands because that is like the minimum i think that i would ever really want if i got a horse again and so i'm just going to search and see if it pops up bam bam bam there is this beautiful horse right here now when you click on here you get to see all the beautiful photos that i already showed you guys if you know how to check confirmation this would be really helpful personally i am not the best at that at all and so i sent it to a couple friends who thought they would give her a go once you find a horse you're gonna have to create a username which is super easy all right so now you can go to your application now i'm not going to actually fill this out but i want to walk it through with you guys so that you guys can see what you have to do how many animals are you requesting obviously i'm looking at that pinto so i'm just gonna do one that is one to four years old how many of each species i'm going for one female horse then you have to fill out the dimensions of your chorale so i'm gonna just do this as if i was doing it for my crown unfortunately uh there is no length and width when it comes to a circle so i just had to figure out that my round pen i think is like 2 000 square feet and so i just figured out the math i think it ended up being like 45 like a 45 width by 45 a length would be about 2 000 so i just did 40 i think i'm pretty sure i just put 45 uh 45 and then height it has to be six feet you don't have any other options unless you're adopting you're lean you can have a five foot but if you're gonna put one in you definitely want to do just six foot so that you have okay gate height six foot gate width mine's ten uh i just bought steel mustang pen so i'm just putting that in here um materials used in gate it's the same type of shelter i have a wood three sided with roof structure materials wood okay length minus 10 by 12. included within corral square footage no it isn't attached to corral yes you have to have it attached to your core okay so mustangs come fed uh alfalfa so alfalfa and bermuda and then i would do alfalfa pellets uh in addition that's what i'm feeding it's real right now grain if needed i'm just telling you guys what i did for her amount per day start feeding her 13 pounds twice a day is there access to a water source yeah there has to be um if yes what's a water source mine is city i have a horse trailer how many animals can fit in it three kind of have to i have dividers in my trailer if yes can they be tied or folded back yes number of rear doors one rear doors full height ramp no is the trailer covered yes so they ask all these questions to make sure that you show up at pick up you can actually get it does the trailer have a solid top yes if not describe the type of cover so they want a layout of the corral and the shelter the cool thing about this which they don't have for the mustang makeover is they can you can just like drag and drop so they can see that i have shade right there little coral thing water gate then you're going to do the directions to the facility and this you just type out and then you have to do the description of the layout so you already drew it out and then you're just going to describe what this crowd looks like if you have anything that you need to add to that then you can do that here do that sign it submit application once you submit your application you'll be looking for an email to say that you got accepted i got an email back from them within an hour which to me was just amazing because the extremistic makeover it took like i think a month to hear back from them you do have to fill out the application and get it accepted before the auction starts you can't wait until the auction is like three days in and be like oh my gosh that horse is only going for 200 what i want that horse i i thought i was going to go for 5 000 or whatever too late if you think that there's a horse that you'd like to bid on if it went for a certain amount of money fill out the application about an hour we're going to jump on here and place a bid for this girl when you do an online chorale auction it goes for seven days this one starts the 27th of april and doesn't end until may 4th which is actually coffee's birthday who knows maybe cozy will be getting a sister for her birthday so we're just gonna see and pray and hope that nobody wants her but i will keep you guys all updated on how this auction goes wednesday april 28th 8 a.m so let's check i'm going to refresh this and see where her bid is at so last yesterday i bid 30. it was at 25 i bid 30. and her current bid is at 205. that's actually surprising i for some reason i thought she was going to go over my budget in the first day but 205 dollars that is great but we'll just keep following and see what happens we're three days into the auction four days left let's see where she's at we are going to check and see what she is going for one thousand four hundred dollars 46 bids not gonna go for 800 obviously honestly 1400 in day three it doesn't look too good for me so yeah i guess we'll just keep checking in and see where she goes online corral and see where this girl was at excuse me i've been up for already two hours but i have not been talking so my voice okay so the current bid is one thousand five hundred and sixty dollars it hasn't increased much since thursday so today's saturday sunday monday and then the auction ends on tuesday so there's still time for this to get driven up but so far it's kind of seemed a little bit stalled so we'll see what happens all right today is the last day of the auction here we go let's check it out it is still the same so that makes me hopeful it ends today at 4 pm who knows what could happen we have like 10 hours so pretty excited but i'm very happy that she has not gone up since then because i was expecting her at this point to be like at 3 000 or something but there's still a slimmer of hope or a glimmer pope however they say that we'll see if it's meant to be i really hope so okay i'm gonna do it oh no someone had a higher proxy bit what shoot as always thank you guys so much for watching if
