Wild Horse, Wild Ride (2011) - full transcript

♪

♪

♪

I got my first horse
when I was about 10 or 12.

Roy rogers and gene autry
were my heroes.

I think
if you"re a true horseman,

this is as good as it gets.

There it goes.

All right, you ready?

Let"s go get 'em.

You get to take a wild horse



and bond with him and get him
to where you can ride him.

It just doesn"t
get any better than that.

♪

I just want one

that"s kind of easygoing
and gentle and...

well, he"s not gonna be gentle.

I got news for you.

Well, gentle temperament,
I guess, I mean.

Yeah.

I just hope that they"re not
the little tiny ones.

I hope they"re the bigger ones.

Yeah.

I like a big horse.

You get a big one.



I"ll take a tiny one.

♪

Here it is.

All right.

Okay.

Here, let me give you yours,
evelyn.

All righty.

Give me a better one
than you gave her.

8108.

Well, the deal is,
and they make it clear,

you get what you get.

It"s luck of the draw.

And so you do with what you got.

- Bye, kate.
Oh, my gosh.

Trying to climb the side of it.

I think we"ve come
for the bear...

the black.

Could be.

Just give it a second
before you start...

- it"s all right.
It"s all right.

It"s okay.

It"s okay.
You"re all right.

You"re all right.
Yeah.

Smell me.
See, I ain"t bad.

Hey, see, he"s...
he"s smelling my hand.

- Yeah, yeah, that"s good.
- That"s a good sign.

- Mm-hmm.
- Good sign.

Nobody"s gonna hurt you.

Hey, yeah, we"re gonna
get to know each other.

He"s scared to death.

He"s a little small.

That"s all right.

Here he comes.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

He"s beautiful.
Oh, my god.

Hey, willie.

Boy, he"s a big'un.

- She got the big one.
I got the little one.

All right.

I outweigh my horse.

You outweigh your horse.

These will be waylon and willie.

Waylon and willie,
that"s a good combination.

It"s all right, waylon.

Y"all ready?

We hope that in about 90 days,

these guys will be

sterling examples
of fine riding horses.

We"ll take 'em to fort worth

and just dazzle the horse world.

- Have goals for one day.
- Okay.

And don"t try to do
too many things at once.

Just have one goal,

and when he meets that goal,
that"s it.

That"ll be done.

I"d like to touch him.

That would be a good goal.

I"ve never done
any of this stuff before.

I"d just been basing it on,
you know, what I"ve read.

I actually think
that"s the point.

I think that"s why they have
this kind of program.

I think that they want to show

that, like, a real person
can really do it.

Good boy.

I thought she was crazy.

I mean, I really did.
I thought she was crazy.

You understand
he"s, like, really wild.

I mean, like, crazy wild.

She"s like,
"oh, they won"t be that bad."

I"m like,
"okay. I don"t think so.

But okay."

Get.

Go.
He won"t run.

Oh, let"s go.

Usually, when you"re training
your first horse,

it"s a yearling

that you then trained up
as a two-year-old,

and then you break it.

And to start with a mustang

is sort of like starting out
your singing career

singing opera.

He"s trying to ignore me.

I"m doing this because I think
it"s a good cause.

I just hope that I learn a lot,

and I want the horse
to go to a good home.

What are your biggest fears
going ahead?

Being able to get on the horse.

Being able to, you know,
contact the horse,

walk the horse, lead the horse.

I might come back later
and try again.

Give him some time.

And then, come back
in the morning and try again.

♪

Yeah.

So he"s still trying
to feel us out

and what"s going on,

um, "cause his world
literally turned 180 degrees"

from where it was,

like, not even,
you know, 72 hours ago.

His world"s
basically been rocked.

So he probably doesn"t
like people too much.

Ooh.

It"s about developing the trust,

and right at the beginning
when you get "em",

and especially, they"re so wild,

and they"re gonna be
tearing around,

and it"s tough to get
that kind of communication.

A lot of it"s body language.

Move.

Move.

Whoa.

Ooh, there"s a stop.

Good boy.

Whoa.

Whoa.

There it is.

I had no experience at all
in horse training or...

I had no idea what to do.

Nik and I
would just sit in the field,

and we"d just sit there
and watch body language...

and then copy them.

That"s mostly what we're getting
our educations from,

is from the horse.

Like, how would a horse
approach a scary object?

And what that horse would do,

would just walk back and forth
between that object

until he got comfortable with it

and approach it.

Got to trust me.

I trust you.

Thank you.

First actual scratch.

He"s showing his bravery.

He"s showing his courage.

He"s showing himself.

That"s what I like to see.

He"s not hiding anything.

I"m shocked at how fast
I am getting close to him.

Hi.

There ya go.

♪

Don"t ever say
you trust one of these horses

until the day
you really trust them.

Right, comanche?

Come here, buddy.

Come on.

Settle down.

When I first brought him in
saturday night,

and I really said
that he"s the kind of horse

that will challenge you.

So monday morning,

I went out there
early in the morning,

and I started
to figuring him out.

That"s when he charged me.

It"s been a long time
since I"ve seen a horse do that.

He"s like...

doesn"t want to be
close to humans or something.

"- Would you go anywhere near
charles" horse?

Not in a million years.

He"s still on the jumpy side.

But after he gets himself quiet,

then he"s gonna be
my best friend.

He"s got his territory.
I"ve got my territory.

So in some way,

he"s gonna invite me
into his territory.

That"s the time
when I"m gonna say,

"okay, he"s trusting me."

I was raised around here.

When I was growing up,

I didn"t have any siblings
that were the same age as me.

And my mom had some sheep,
cows, and horses.

Every morning, she told me
to go get the horses.

So I started
communicating with horses.

When I was young,
it was different.

It don"t matter how old it is,

how fast it is;

I could get on anything.

This competition means
a whole lot of things to me.

I want to challenge myself,

and I want to show myself

that I am still capable
of doing.

Even though
I"m aching here and there,

but I"m still young at heart.

He"s gonna turn out pretty good.

That"s if I can get on.

That"s if he can let me get on.

♪

Out there, if they say "indian,"

they think
we"re still on buckskins.

We"re still walking around
out there in the wild.

Basically,
we"re living the same life,

but we"re just
on the reservation,

that"s all.

It"s just a challenge, I think.

That"s mainly just to show

that I"m coming
from the reservation,

and I can do the same amount
of things anybody can do.

So I just want
to show that to this horsey.

It"s all I want to do.

The hardest part
is getting them to trust you,

getting them to be your friend.

If I relax,
the horse will relax.

If you think
you"re gonna muscle a mustang

and go in there
and be all macho to it,

it"s gonna do the same thing
back to you.

Okay, close it.

If you notice, the little one
hides behind the big"un.

The mustang makeover
competition is...

I guess it brings out
the competitive spirit in us.

We want to compete,
and we want to win.

I"m getting older.

I know I"ve got a limited
number of years to do this.

So I want this to be a good one.

- Whoa.
It"s okay. You're all right.

I"m getting him to move
the way I want him to move,

rather than the way
he wants to move.

I make him go directions I pick,
not what he picks.

Whoa.

Whoa.
Whoa.

We"re a little older
than most people

that are trying to do this.

And, um, we realize that...

that we don"t have
the same balance

and the same res... responses

and reactions
that we had that...

so we have to make up for it

by being careful
and using a little wisdom.

Come on, big guy.
Let"s go.

There we go.

Okay, get over.

Hup! Hup! Hut!

We might ought to go out
for a minute.

So the smaller one"s spookier.

He"s a little more unsure.

And I think he"s got more fear
than the black one.

Oh.

- Back off.
- Better take...

take pressure off of him.

He"s gonna go through it.

He"s a lot wilder.

I think the little guy
is gonna be quite a challenge,

more so
than I originally thought.

Waylon is gonna have to have

a lot more just "sit there
and talk to him" time

before we start chasing him
around in the round pen,

"cause he's just
too apprehensive right now.

He"ll hurt himself or me,
one of the two.

He"ll find out
that when he"s touched,

it"s a good thing,
not a bad thing.

But you got to get
to that point.

And that"s where patience
comes in,

which I"m not
overly loaded with.

And so I"ll count on evelyn
to help me with that part.

♪

Small circles.

Now want to stop.

Face to me.

Let"s see if I can get on.

He tried to bite me.

I"m going to bend his neck
to the other side

and hold him.

Now I can jump.

Try to get on...

I try and pat his...

his front.

I enjoy what I do with horses.

And mom say,

"do you breathe in horses
and dream in horses?"

And it"s the way I am.

Teach him slow.

Have to be very sensitive
with your hands,

not get too hard.

If he follow me.

See, right there,
he did a nice turn.

People don"t understand

how hard it is
to work these horses.

In three months,
you have to do a lot.

It takes some time.

There.
That"s coming.

And release it.

He will understand in a minute
what I want... looking for.

Now, I want to turn him.

Stop.

I will say it.

Everybody has a gift,

but his gift,
working with horses,

I think that"s great.

It"s hard to find people
with the kind of skills

to go from totally wild horse
to make a submissive horse.

It"s hard,
but it"s not impossible.

And the key?
Patience.

This is good for today.

But I think, you know,
he"s doing good.

It"s something
you need to understand.

It"s like a gift,

your gift from god.

He"s a smart horse.

We doing good.
We doing...

I"m happy
because he responds to me.

And I want to see him happy too.

♪

Well, I"ve always known
since I was a little girl

that I was always destined
for something great.

I didn"t know what or why.

I just always had
this inner feeling like,

"you know what?
I"m gonna be something amazing."

Whoa.

I"ve always said,

"I"m a daredevil
with a big smile."

Anytime I would do anything
as a kid,

it was never hard enough for me.

You know, I was always
that evel knievel,

"I"m not scared."

I picked him up on saturday.

And then monday morning,
I rode him.

And then by the third ride,

we were riding down the road
in a residential area.

We walked through
the taco bell drive-through,

crossing crosswalks.

And he just...
♪ doo-dee

I mean, he"s just mellow...

considering he"s a mustang.

You know, "ooh, he" s a mustang.

"That means he" s wild,

"and he rears up
on his hind legs,

and he eats children
for breakfast."

But he"s not.
He"s just quiet and gentle.

You know?

Okay, hold on.

Well, hey, hold on.
You"re gonna freak out.

♪

Agh, that wasn"t good.

It was perfect.

If you run,
it"s just gonna follow you.

So you have to...

my signature thing
that I"m known for

is standing up on a horse

and stepping off of a horse

when a horse
is moving full-speed.

I like to do that.

I also like to swing up
on horses.

A lot of people don"t swing up
on horses,

especially a woman.

Most girls don"t.

Um, I like to do anything
that makes you go, "wow.

How did you teach that horse
to do that?"

like the touch-on-the-neck stop.

Really, what it comes down to
and what I"ve learned

doing all of these competitions
with the mustang makeovers is,

it"s always been about the horse

and that we all just want

to help these horses
get great homes.

♪

♪

Come here.

Yeah.

I"m just gonna pet your face.

I just want to touch your face.

It"s okay.

I always say,

"never fall in love
with a horse,"

but I think I"m gonna
fall in love with this horse.

♪

I usually
am pretty careful about

talking about what I do
and the level of my education.

And then, of course,
this only can occur

when things are at equilibrium.

So keep that in mind too.

I think, when you think...
you hear phd engineer,

you have a certain stereotype
in your mind.

And I don"t think I fit
that stereotype very well.

But my phd
is in biomedical engineering,

and my bachelor"s of science is
also in biomedical engineering.

So we"ve limited
our number of variables

to just a fraction.

And then I have
a coursework masters,

which is
like a master"s of science

in just general engineering.

And the dynamic
between my day and my evening

is just...
it"s like two different worlds.

He"s trying to take advantage
of you.

He"s not watching you at all.

The horse
is nowhere near leadable yet.

He"s still wild, for sure.

He"s still a wild animal.

She"s a perfectionist.

Most academics are.

- Well, most engineers are.
- Most engineers are.

Well, she"s used to
always getting what she wants.

I mean...
and being perfect.

And being good at it.

- Keep going.
Just be patient.

He"s trying to figure out
what you want.

Keep going.

It"s okay, just...
easy, easy, girl.

Wow.

I"m not liking this.

I know.

He"s just being aggressive.

He"s just a little
more aggressive

than I was hoping for.

If she listens to careen,

if she just...
if she just kind of...

is she gonna do that?

I don"t know.

Hi.

Hi.

A lot of noise.

I think that...
i think it"ll be...

I think that... I think...

if she at least
listens to careen

and what she has to say,

I think that they"ll be able to

come out of it in one piece.

- I don"t know.
I mean, what else can you do?

It"s just frustrating.

It makes, you know...

maybe somebody more experienced
belongs with a horse like this.

It"s the way, you know,
you have to work on.

You have to just take your time,

and you read, first,
the personality.

I want to stop him.

There.

Going to work with his feet.

Like now... now.

Once and stop.

It"s like if you're
going to ballet,

you need to learn slow,
in steps.

And soon do you know how
to maneuver, control your feet,

you can build your speed.

It"s almost the same thing
with horses.

So I don"t want to make
my horse sad,

but I have to make
he to learn this.

I"m not forcing the horse.
I"m just teaching him.

Be calm.

♪

I"m going to help him
to make him lay down.

Be good. Be good.

Be good.

He"s special for us.

He"s a good-looking horse

and very smart.

And all... pretty much all
our brothers,

we"re compadres.

So compadres is a mean, like,
a god...

- god friends.
- God friends.

- There again.
- Name him compadre.

Can sit a little bit.

Another compadre in the familia.

- One more compadre.
Yes.

♪

I grew up in mexico.

And we did a lot of farmwork.

But most of the time,
it"s ranch work.

Good, good.

I"m so glad, you know,
I grown up in the ranch.

Go now.
Easy. Come.

You learn, uh, good things,
and...

I really have in my heart.

No, run, juan.
No run.

In the slow motion.

Whoa.

If you run,
he always going to run, okay?

Okay.

That is why we have been
working so hard to...

to have a little bit of my dream

in where I live right now.

In 2001, we started, uh,
our company.

So we started
with me and my brother,

and now, sometimes,
we keep, like, ten people.

In 2005, we buy 20 acres.

We start building our stable.

It"s not big, you know.

But at least it"s yours.

Now we"re in big trouble.

Now we"re training horses

to compete in fort worth, texas.

It"ll be tough, huh?

♪

My parents always taught me,

if you want something,

you have to go out
and get it yourself.

I just wanted horses.

When I was two years old
and I looked outside

our van window and just saw them

and just how beautiful
they were.

Kris, if, like...

if there"s, like,
a horse whisperer out there,

you know, he"d be it.

He"s got that extra connection.

Kristopher was
at farrier school,

and they had this little baby
in a ring outside.

She was six months old.

And she was untouchable.

She was wild.

And he asked if he could go out

and just play
with the little horse.

And the guy said,
"no, she" s dangerous.

She"ll rear up.
She"ll strike you."

And he went in the first night,

and he was walking around
with her,

was petting her everywhere.

And the guy
that owned the school goes,

"there"s no way."

There"s no reason
to abandon a horse

if he needs help.

I"m a slow learner
and have a hard time reading.

With a school,

if that kid"s lost, he"s lost.

And then he"s struggling
and gets angry.

They gave us a good foundation
on who we are

and what we can do.

That"s what our parents gave us.

And that"s what we're gonna give
to the horses.

Oof.

Good job.

Good job.

Nice.

Oh, wow.

Nice, kristopher.

- Comfortable.
- Wow.

- I know.
- You can breathe now.

You got up, kristopher.

- Good job.
- You can breathe now.

Good boy, ranahan.

Iah-lah-lah-lah-lah.

Pbbt.

Whoa.

The whole point
of the competition

in its purest form

is to be able to show

that you can develop
these types of partnerships.

The secret is

spending that time
with the horse

so that when
something new happens,

they"re not gonna wig out on us.

Whoa.

Oh, attaboy.

Attaboy.

Pbbt.

It doesn"t have to be that old
kind of cowboy mentality,

where you have to treat
the horse pretty rough.

You know, you can get them
to this point

without touching a single spur,

without kind of really forcing
the horse into it.

Attaboy.

Whoa, bud.

Good boy.

Whoa.

Good boy.

♪

I used to like to tell people,
if they were to ask me,

"why in the world would somebody
live in saint jo?"

And I would
always tell them that,

"well, there"s no red lights."

There"s a post office,
a gas station, and a bank.

Uh, there"s not much
goes on that...

if you have to stand in line
to do anything,

we just don"t do it.

And that makes
for a pleasant life.

George is a man"s man.

He"s a cowboy.

I know when we got together,

he talked about, you know,

meeting a lot of women

that couldn"t deal with
his lifestyle.

We"ve been married
for three years.

I was 65, and you was 56.

Mm-hmm.

I"m one of eight siblings.

Uh, all seven of the others

met and married
their lifetime mate

when they were very young.

And then I come along,

and I guess it"s kind of like
a schoolteacher that once said,

"well, we" re gonna do it

again and again and again
till we get it right."

You know, and I did it
several times,

and now, thankfully,
I think I got it right.

So if you don"t mind me asking,

how many times
have you been married?

Well, she"s number seven.

I told her,
"you" re a riverboat gambler,

"you know, to marry me.

"You"re just straight out
of your gourd."

That... that kind of come across
my mind too.

And now, ladies and gentlemen...

I think
we"re a pretty good pair.

I think if we"d have probably
met a long time ago,

could have kept him
from having so many marriages.

I just am amazed
every day that I get up

that"s it's...
that she was there.

And she was the person
so much that I wanted.

Everything about her
was what I wanted.

Nearly everything about her.

And, uh...

I"m just thankful
that I found her.

We"re pretty good friends.

That"s the thing, I think,
that makes it work.

Let"s go!

Come on.

Well, come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Attaboy.

Come on.

You are a hardheaded
little sucker.

Waylon"s a little...
he"s a little outlaw,

a fat, feisty little fella.

Don"t you bite me.

He is just nasty.

He"s just got a nasty
little disposition.

Whoa, whoa.

Sooner or later,

me and him have got to have
a "come to Jesus"

on this biting thing.

Attaboy.

I expect instant gratification,

and you just don"t get it
doing this.

Was that fun?
Huh?

Did you have fun?

You have fun?

Whoa.

It"s hard, in 100 days,
to get a horse

to do what
we got to get them to do,

much less get one to do that
that"s got that...

that has the attitude
that he had.

He"s been a pill.
He"s been a pill.

Don"t you bite me.

This horse may be untrainable.

He may not have
a gentle bone in his body.

I"ve had a lot of worried time,
because he...

the horse has been
hard to figure out.

He"s been different
than any other horses.

And it is scary,

"cause I don't want him
to get hurt."

Come on.

One for the horse.

My age, it always hurts
when you hit the ground,

but my doctor"s words to me
recently were,

"george, you are too long
of tooth to be doing this."

And I told him that,

"well, when I get busted up,
you put me back together,

"and I" ll keep pulling up
my saddle.

As long as you can do your job,
I "m gonna do mine."

I think that"s as close
as I"m gonna do

to getting on him today.

♪

Yeah, I always say that,

"now, a horse, you got to
treat it like a woman."

If you touch her
in the wrong place,

she"s gonna hit you.

He"s a lot of horse,

the way I see it.

And if you try to push him
too much,

he don"t like it.

My dad"s been spending time
with him,

been doing a lot of stuff
with him.

To actually earn his trust...

he"s already got the trust,

but my dad don"t have the trust
on getting on him.

Are you ready to get on him?

Not really.

I"m not worried
about how many days I have left

before I get on him

or how many weeks I have left
to get on.

60 more days, for me...

60 days is nothing.

If I"m gonna get on,

I"m gonna do it by myself.

In case this old man
gets bucked off,

nobody"s gonna see it.

I"m gonna make sure I clean
the mess where I fell to,

so I don"t leave no evidence.

Living on the navajo reservation
is tough.

The job is scarce.

The way of the living is hard.

So the best thing to do is

try to find a way to where
you can support yourself.

And carlos has come out
to the point

where he is making a living

helping other people
start their horses.

And he"s been successful
in that area.

This is the first time he"s out.

I"m getting him used to
and familiar to

his surroundings where he"s
gonna be at most of the time.

Following me anywhere I go.

If a horse don"t know
how to lead,

I drag it down.

A couple times back
up and down...

I"ve got a horse that"s leading.

I just been around horses.

Ever since the day I can get on,

that"s all I do.

When he was little,
he always used to imitate

training a horse
or saddling up a horse.

Usually, his horse was a couch
or coffee table

or something.

When he was a little kid,

one morning,
he came up to me and says,

"buy me a horse."

So I got him a shetland pony.

And I said,
"okay, you take this rein.

"You pull it,
and you go this way.

"You pull this.
I go that way.

"And if you get bucked off,
climb back on.

If I hear you crying,
I sell the horse."

So today, he"s still at it.

In a way, what I have
thought about when I was young,

he"s doing it.

Sometimes, it... brings tears.

It"s hard to talk about him.

It"s, um...

it"s more joyful
talking about him.

And I am really proud of him.

I want him to be
out there somewhere,

make a name for himself.

Okay, we have to go get you
ready for school, okay?

- Yeah.
- Can you say hi?

- Hi.
- What"s your name?

- Ryker.
- And how old are you, ryker?

Four.

I"ve always said there's
two sides of wylene wilson.

There"s, you know,
the public side.

And then there"s
the very private side

that has a family,
and, you know,

I"m a mother,
and I"m a single mom,

which makes it even harder
as it is.

And...

kensley, stop!

Here, give it to me.

There"s such a part of me
that"s so different that...

that"s a fun mom,
a different mom.

Not your every... average day,
you know, soccer mom.

No, my mom stands up on horses
and drags tarps,

and she shoots guns.

And she... she"s a daredevil.
And she"s this.

You know, that, to me,
is so much more fun than,

"I make peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches."

♪

Almost perfect.
Come on.

The buildup to this competition

is so intense, you know.

And you just don"t know.

There"s a lot of pressure
on us as trainers.

Judges are looking
for the showmanship part of it.

So it"s important
for us trainers

to also look our very best,
let alone the horses.

And obviously, there"s a persona
that I want to emulate.

And I, you know...
i want to be professional,

and I want to look my best.

I want my horse
to look his best.

And so therefore, you know,

fake eyelashes and lipstick
and whatever it takes.

Even a push-up bra,
I"ve even used that before.

I like to turn heads.

I"m not gonna lie.

You know, what girl doesn"t?

People go,
"phew. Did you just see that?

I did.
And I liked it a lot."

Okay.

That"s what I like, you know,

"holy bananas.
Hold on to the monkeys.

There"s gonna be a problem
if we don"t slow down."

Time to go to work.

What I don"t know
about this horse is,

he"s totally unpredictable.

There"s nothing about him
that is in sync.

Get it out of your system.

I would just suspect
a lot of people

would give up on him.

Waylon.

Yeah, good boy, waylon.
Good boy.

You okay?

Huh?

You"re all right, waylon.

Are you okay?

- Easy.
Easy, boy.

Wait till I get him... away,

and then you move out.

- Easy, boy.
- Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.
Come on.

Move.

Good.

The smart people about this
say, "don"t rush it."

- Come on. Move.
- Come on.

Move.

But on the other hand,

I know you got to move forward,

or you won"t get them
to where they got to be.

Move it.

I"m gonna believe that

he"s going to smooth out
and be a super good horse.

I just believe he"s going to.

You"re gonna make it.
You"re gonna make it.

Yeah, that"s a good boy, willie.

Get you all brushed up.

Good boy, willie.

I have bonded with willie.
It"s hard not to.

A horse like him that...
gosh.

I come out in the morning,
and he"s watching for me.

And I walk out,
and he comes up to me.

A lot of it...
i know he wants to eat.

He loves to eat.

Come on.

George is...

when I say, you know, uh,

"that horse loves me."

And his big thing was,

"that horse don" t love you.

"He tolerates you," you know?

Come on.

Come on, willie.

I know she...

- you"ll want to keep the horse.
- I know.

And I"m gonna have to
keep telling you

that the best thing we can do
for those horses is,

do the best job we can
training them...

yeah.

And get them into people"s
hands that will ride them.

- He is right.
I mean, he"s right.

But I can just see
my emotions...

you take them in,

and you taught them
to trust you.

You know, it"s kind of...
and give them away.

And then, you know,

it"s like almost a mother.

You know, and you"ve raised
your child up,

and then you"ve got to
turn them out.

Yeah.
Good boy.

I try to teach my horse,
every day, something different.

We have only 100 days.

But your horse, they need to
offer you what it can do.

They"ve been having
a very good relationship.

And I think
he"s doing excellent,

not even great,
excellent with that horse.

All my preparation,
all my training,

is to see if that horse let me
do all my rope trick

on his back.

Want to do a...
to be nice circle

and the horse is in the middle.

I stand on him.

And if he let me do that, I...

I"m going to be proud
of my horse.

When I ride my horse,
it"s something wonderful.

You really breathe
and feel love, you know.

I get in touch with him.

He"s a good friend,

good buddy.

I want to keep him.

We don"t have a lot of money,

but if we get him,

be a good prize, you know.

We"d like to bring him home.

It"s amigo.
This is your friend.

You investing too much time in.

I hate to give away, you know...

somebody take away from me.

Hello, amigo.

Agh!

Agh!

♪

Attaboy.

You know, there"s so much
emotion that goes in this.

I mean, you think about
when you pick them up,

and then you"re training them.

I mean, you"re just on this
roller coaster of a ride.

And it"s all the miles
you drive,

all the food you feed, all...

you know, all the shoes
and the... everything.

I mean, all the...
just this...

you just do so much.

And it"s all
because we want to win.

And hopefully,
that would pay off.

And so to win
would just be like,

"wow, it was all worth it."

There"s nobody who's better
in competition.

I love competing.

I love being in a really
challenging situation

"cause I thrive on that."

There could be
50,000 people there and espn,

and I"m, like,
cool as a cucumber.

I can memorize patterns,

so if they came up to me
and said,

"you have to know this
in five minutes and go do it,"

I could do it.

I just like having
all the pressure on me.

I think you have to believe
you"re worthy of winning it.

My goal is to go bareback
or bridleless.

Okay.

I think it would
just amaze everybody.

Well, the risk is, if you do it,

you have to be perfect,

because if you aren"t perfect,
you won"t win.

So you have to know,
without a shadow of a doubt,

the horse is gonna do
everything you asked

and that he"s going to
perform well.

And if you can
walk, trot, canter

without a bridle
and without a saddle,

that"s pretty impressive
in 100 days.

Wait.
Let"s see if I can do it.

Yes, good job, buddy.

There"s a lot I expect
from a horse.

That was really good.

And I don"t want to hear
whiny excuses like,

"I"m scared.
I don"t want to do it.

I"m fat. I'm lazy.
I"m spoiled."

I don"t want to hear that.

What I want to hear is,

"okay, we"re gonna do it.
Let"s be a team."

Keep going.
Whoa, I"m gonna fall off.

Let"s go wow the crowd.

Let"s go make them go,

"harold, did you just see that?

"I think that girl just rode
bareback without a bridle.

"Somebody needs to post
something about her.

She "s special."

Ow.

You little shit.

He slammed my foot.

Hey, we"re not going that way.

We"re going my way.

He"s making forward progress,

but it"s sort of like, you know,

two steps forward,
one step back,

two steps forward,
one step back.

All right.

Come on, buddy.

We are going to calm down,
right?

You little shit.

I want that behavior out of him
before I"m on him.

I"ve made the mistake of not.

And then it"s me on the ground.

You"re a monster.

Dealing with horses is not
if you get hurt...

it"s when and how bad.

A couple times, he got me off.

One time, I landed on my head,
but I was wearing a helmet.

She hit her head hard.

It was a perfect pitch.

I mean, he stuck his front in.

That back end went up.

That english saddle
popped her out.

And she supermanned
right over his ears.

And her arms didn"t hit first.

I mean, she landed on her head

and then rolled on to her neck
and shoulder

and just sort of flipped.

She got a heck of a concussion.

- All right, we"re turning.
We"re turning.

I would really like to know

what she honestly thinks

about that horse"s performance.

If she"s going to fort worth
with delusions,

then she"s not only setting
her horse up for failure,

but she"s gonna put herself

and anyone who"s in the arena
with her in danger.

Left, left, left.

No.

Come on.
Sweet Jesus.

All right.

We"re gonna do this.

Yes.
Thank god.

Let"s do it again
for good measure.

All right.

That was not good.
Come on.

We have fights.

And he goes through kind of
periods of, like... I don"t know.

He"s really good.
He"s really progressing.

And then he"s just terrible
for, like, a week.

So I"m hoping
that the competition happens

during a good week.

We work every day.

And some days are great,
and some days are horrible.

Good boy.

You know, he"s awesome.

Having 100 days to learn...

to learn everything
that he"s learned

is quite a feat.

Kudos to him.

♪

Give him a minute in the dark,

so he doesn"t know
what"s happening.

I"m gonna take away
that element of sight.

And I want to see
how far I can push it

to how far he can trust me.

That"s a fence.
That"s a fence.

There you go.

Nope, that"s another fence.

That"ll be another fence.
That"ll be a fence.

It"s all communication,

and if I tell him to turn right,

that he"s trusting me enough

that I"m not gonna
turn him into a wall

or into a ditch.

Going downhill.

Slow. Slow.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

Going this way.

Just trust me.

Trust me.

Take it... take it easy.

There we go.
Okay. Okay.

All right!

Ask him anything, he"ll do it

without any hesitation
or any fight.

It"s all right.
Oop, uh, eh, eh.

Eh, eh.
You got it.

You got this.
There you go.

You"re on the bridge.

There you go.

Coming to the edge.

Coming... oh, hey.
Not too fast.

Coming to the edge.
Slow. Slow.

Where is it?

Keep going.

It"s right there.
There you go.

That boy, that horse,

has made me the most happiest
person on this earth.

He"s just a good horse.

That"s why he needs a good home.

We don"t have the money.

Don"t be thinking
that all of a sudden,

you know, we"re gonna become...

how... how are we gonna take him
through the winter?

How... you know,
you understand all of this

before we get involved
with this.

And it"s tough.
It"s still emotionally tough.

But, um, this is something

that they decided
that they wanted to do.

Whoo, jeez, it"s cold.

Whoo!

Come on.

All that they know
is what you"ve taught them.

So it"s getting 'em
to that point,

and then having to say bye
is kind of rough.

Hey.

And there"s no chance
of keeping them, is there?

Nope,
which is kind of tough to say,

but we"re not in the ability
to be able to do that.

- Why not?
- Uh, money-wise.

I guess, basically,
the bottom line.

So it"s not easy,

but reality is the situation.

They"ll go to a new place

and kind of show people
how awesome they are.

So it"s kind of... gives you
a bit of good feelings about it.

But still,
got to get a little selfish.

Want to keep "em."

But what can you do?

♪

It seems like I am way behind
on everything.

But the competition is
about ten days away from now.

And I haven"t even get on.

Maybe I"m scared,

to tell you the truth.

Okay, comanche.

I"m not gonna hurt you.

Come on.

When I was young,

and when nobody
was around to help me,

I used to put them
in a small pen

and get on and try to move him
around that small space.

That"s the way I"m gonna do it.

He"s got to know
that I"m coming down on him.

There"s gonna be weight on him.

Don"t you try anything,
comanche.

It"s just me, your buddy,

the person that feeds you
every day.

I"m scared,
to tell you the truth.

I think I have an extra spare
of underwear somewhere.

Phew!
Whoo!

I just want him
to move a little bit.

Take his time.

Got to move up.

There you go.

It"s all you need.

Okay, back up again.

Some more.

Come on.

That"s good.
Doing pretty good, comanche.

Okay, turn.

I only have ten days
to work with this horse.

Every minute counts,
so I can"t get off.

Only if my son was here.

He always wanted
to see me get on.

Good boy.

I"ve seen him
take on different horses,

but he actually wants to become
best friends with this horse.

I think he really loves
this horse.

Oh, boy.

About three or four weeks
into this,

we were thinking
he wasn"t gonna make it.

He just wasn"t ever
gonna calm down.

But he finally did,
and when he did,

he just... he just became
a good little horse.

Good boy.

I guess maybe we just found
that peace with each other.

And he settled in to me,
and I settled in to him.

And he has become
the best-natured horse

I believe I have ever
worked with in over 50 years.

- Good boy.
- Hey.

He side passed.

- I know.
- Oh, my gosh.

Willie, we"re behind.

It was real touching when
you started to see them connect,

"cause george had some,
you know,

choice names that he called him
at first,

when he was getting
bitten and kicked

and thrown into the dirt.

Come here, waylon.

You may not eat my hat.
You may not eat my hat.

Bonding with a horse
is a strange phenomenon.

Thank you. Thank you.

You feel it
more than you see it.

And he"s just got me
to the point where

I know that this could be
the horse

that I"m gonna finish
my riding days on.

Seven weeks ago,

no, I wouldn"t have thought

that george would want to adopt
this horse,

because, number one,

neither of us
were bringing these two home.

And I know he started thinking
about wanting to bring him home.

Didn"t really know what to say,
"cause we'd already...

you know, he doesn"t want me
to bring mine home.

But I can see...
i can see that...

george needs to bring
that horse home.

That little mustang"s
got a lot of heart.

That horse is...
as small as he is,

is big enough for george.

Come on, willie.

♪

I feel fine
about the competition.

What I"m worried most about
is losing my horse.

At least we make it, huh?

There are so many emotions
right now,

"cause I'm wanting to do well.

I"m wanting to show willie well.

But it"s also sad for me,

"cause I know that I won't be
bringing him home."

And that"s...

that"s hard.

A few days ago,
I don"t know what happened,

but he started bucking.

Tried so hard
to stay in the saddle,

but I got bucked off,
and I haven"t got back on yet.

Here, it"s just gonna
be different.

Either way, I"m gonna get on.

He"s ready.

He"s very calm, quiet.

I think, you know,
he will do a good job tomorrow.

Now, you"re gonna come in
right here.

You"re gonna come here,

keep loping, ride up.

But you can do
a drop-change transition,

lope, walk,
and right on into the box.

Okay.

Two circles to the right,

walk out, and you"re done.

- 100 trainers. 100 horses.
100 days.

Quite amazing.

Hip 74.

Horse"s name is rembrandt.

That"s art in motion.

Charles has
hand-trained comanche.

One bobble, I mean,

if you lead the horse
up to the trailer

and he"s supposed to jump
in the trailer

and he stalls out, you"re out.

If you go to pick up his feet
and he won"t give you his feet,

you"re out.

Serpentine through the cones
at a trot

and he doesn"t trot,

you"re out.

So there"s no room
for any bobbles.

The competition is that stiff.

So nik"s gonna...
walking along,

and all of a sudden,
his horse is down.

Rolling.

Everybody thought it was funny.

I was horrified.

So he just lost.

I"m kind of hoping that
they"re gonna look and say,

"hey, you know,
that"s a relaxed horse.

You "ve done a good job,"

and, you know,
give him kudos for that,

as opposed to saying,
"oh, no, no.

We didn"t expect
that to be happening."

So we"ll see how it goes.

Hip number 34.

Walked to melissa kanzelberger,
bryan, texas.

If they can sense
that you"re scared,

they will take advantage
of that.

So I try to, like, push
those kind of emotions away

until we"re done.

He could start bucking randomly,

which he"s done.

He could do the running out
the shoulder thing,

and I could totally miss
an obstacle.

I had no idea
if I could do it or not,

like, just absolutely no idea
if I"d even get a halter on him.

Actually, getting on his back
seemed like a fairy tale dream.

"- I was gettin" nervous.

I felt like I was gonna throw up
when she got on.

She"s been proving people wrong
from day one,

I can take him home with me.

- Oh, is that right?
- Yup.

You"ve only been riding him
six times, wow.

Hip number 11
coming into the arena.

And this, ladies and gentlemen,

will be his sixth ride.

Right now, I can"t really

push myself up into the saddle
from the ground.

So I hope he can stand still
while I do that too.

I just want to see how
my dad"s gonna get on his horse.

That"s all.

I"ll give it to you, charles,

and we"ll watch as you put
number 6 on this horse.

I"m scared for him,
because, like I said,

he"s getting old.

He"s just trying to say that,
"I"m still young enough

to handle whatever you guys
can throw at me."

I"ve been seeing myself
ride in the competition

One of these days,

Entry george gregory.

George is riding waylon.

That day we brought him in,

and we got him out
and put him in his pen,

and he had
this terror in his eyes, and...

but we didn"t give up.

And waylon probably taught me
more than any other horse ever.

He, uh...
he did teach me that... that...

you know, patience will pay off.

Well, if we could win, I...

if we could win, we could show

that an old fat guy
can still ride a horse.

If we make the finals,
it would be a highlight.

To win,
it would just be incredible.

Thank you, george.

Uh, and you know,
she"s beautiful and flippant

and crazy and fun
and talks like this:

And, "ah-ha-ha,"
and, "get it on,"

and then will go in
and kick your ass.

How would it feel to win...

almost surreal, I would think.

Unbelievable, but surreal.

For me, I think,

I"ve always been so close
but just never won it.

So if I really did win it,

it would just be like...

I"d do a backflip probably.

That"s not an exaggeration.
I probably would.

Now in the arena, nikolas kokal.

We"ve worked on everything
that we need to.

Oh, yeah.

I thought I was up there,

but there was probably
some stuff that I messed up on.

And maybe next year,
I"ll be a lot better here.

This is everything
up to this point.

Wylene"s sitting first,
lanny, then logan,

then bill, then miranda.

76.50.

- Really?
Are you serious?

How does that work?
That"s okay.

Like I said,
we got to make choices, right?

And we were here for the horse,

not to teach a horse
how to compete

but how to be a partner,
you know.

So we claimed victory.
So we"ll take it.

Your best show.

First of all,
it"s a clean start.

None of your
previous scores count.

I"ve extreme cowboy raced
against him.

He"s a national champion
extreme cowboy racer.

Better watch yourself.

Whoo-hoo!

Hee-hee-hee.

♪

The technical?

Wow.

That was awesome.

Be surprised
if that doesn"t win it.

And the leaches are really good.

Iogan and lanny leach,
they"re very good too.

They could be tough.

They could be a dark horse
for sure.

100 days.

Wow.

Ianny leach and huckleberry.

We have to always remember
that these are 100-day horses.

And we get lost in that.

You know, you have to
keep watching

and keep reminding yourself

this horse was wild
less than 100 days ago.

And good luck to my brothers.

My compadre.

I know it"s a hard competition.

But, you know, I need to...

to prove myself I can do.

Well, coming right along,

Thank you so much.

The technical?

7.5, 7, 7, 7.5.

Ooh, the judges agree too.

Boo! Come on!

That was horrible!

But again, it"s all technical.

I mean, you could be going
around to the right,

and the horse could,
you know, be leaning to the left

and switch a lead late.

And the person in front of you
does it perfectly,

so that person
that did it perfectly

is gonna get a higher score
than you are.

It"s all about technical stuff.

At least I"m done.

Clint bailey.

Clint is really good.

He was second last year.

He rode bridleless
on his last horse.

He did an amazing job
with his horse.

Clint bailey was stunning.

And when he put the cow
in the pen,

and he took the bridle off,

and that horse wanted to eat
that cow.

Go after, you know, watch it,

move it,
the crowd was screaming,

because it epitomizes

what these mustangs
are capable of.

Whoo!

Well, the horse did his job.

9, 9.5, 10.

Whoo! Whoo!

We finally got a 10.

You know what, folks,

they say the cowboy"s
a dying breed...

it was right there.

So I just got to go out
and do my thing.

We will turn it over
to wylene wilson

from queen creek, arizona.

Comes in with rembrandt,

and she does
extremely difficult maneuvers

in her lead changes,

which is where the horse
is almost dancing,

or to the music,

at the lope or the canter,

it"ll take two strides
on the right side,

jump up, and take two strides,

switching leads
on the left side,

come up,

take two strides
on the right side,

two strides on the left side.

Incredibly difficult,
because, you see,

they"re changing
both the front and the back leg,

and then they"re hopping up
and doing this.

Two strides, two strides,

two strides,
all in the same rhythm.
