She was just disciplining him. Animals will rarely attack their own babies or those of other females unless the baby is weak, has a serious injury, or is gravely ill.
The people complaining about this video and how it shouldnt be made fun of don't seem to understand a single bit about the fact that different species discipline their young in different ways. Horses can't verbally say "go away". Horses dont raise their young like people raise their young. Cats carry kittens in their mouth. Dogs sometimes bite their young (gently), vice versa. We dont do that, but that doesnt mean it isnt natural. Educate yourselves people and stop spreading a bunch of crap.
I love how ignorant people judge things they don't understand. This was NOT an attack!! If that mare had wanted to hurt that foal she could have done so very easily!! She gave him a nip and a warning and that is how horses discipline foals and other horses!! Rick I think you did a great job explaining exactly what was happening here and showed people what you were looking for. If people want to complain there was too much talking it is because they are too stupid to learn anything anyway!!
I noticed the mother of the foal that got the scolding did nothing... a "person" would have run in there and attacked the mother "how dare you bite my child!"... this momma is like, "You knew better, and you did it anyway. Now cowboy up"....
If that baby had been in any danger its mom wouldn't have just stood there watching. The first mare was simply correcting the foal. Anyone with any sense can see that it wasn't an attack to cause injury or death.
Hey, this is my video! I'm seriously flattered that you used it to educate. And thank you for the insight and explanation. I was actually pretty scared for that curious little foal when it was happening. Then I realized that mare easily could have taken a big chomp out of it had she wanted to. It was cute the way it ran back to mom. A lesson learned, I'm sure. :)
If only the two legged animals would use the same discipline on their own, the world would be a better place! Just noticed the black and white mama with her baby, too cute.
Cheeky little foal got told! No malicious behavior on the mare’s part and she never even bit the colt just made sure he followed her orders to stay away! Mom was not impressed either and simply went about her business when the baby ran back to her! Herd dynamics at its finest!
She could have nailed this baby big time but I don't think she even put her teeth on him! Great explanation of horse language. Humans could learn from this!
If you look carefully too the mare doesn't even make any contact on the foal with her teeth she intentionally misses, doesn't kick out when her legs are right up to the foal either, if this horse wanted to hurt the foal she definitely would have. Plus, if foal was in danger the actual mum would have stepped in to collect him, but she was relaxed and let the baby get his lesson.
Lol! That mare didn't even lay a tooth on that colt! Notice it's a nosey male colt! No kidding every time there is a colt born there's all this drama because they are overly curious,. Where as when fillies are in the pasture it is quieter, they pay closer attention to what's going on. This is just something I've personally observed in watching youngsters in a herd. Love videos like this, where people aren't involved. I know I probably spend to much time in the pasture just watching my horses and others at our barn, I know it changes the dynamic of the herd just being there, but I try to hang back and sit down and just observe. It also gives me a chance to get to know my babies without haltering them. They just are naturally curious and if you pay attention your babies will bond with you naturally and learn to trust you because your part of the herd dynamic.
Oh yeah, Mom’s giving signals, then giving SIGNALS...then ***SIGNALS*** and THEN comes the ATTACK. He had LOTS of warnings. I totally agree, the brat was testing boundaries...notice his flicking tail, you can also see it in the height of his head as he approached her, stiffened shoulder posture, but getting ready to dodge because he KNEW she was going to come after him. One of mine was such a brat, he’d play that game “I’m not TOUCHING you...not TOUCHING you” (edging to within a whisker’s length of the other horses while getting ready to DODGE). Mares would attack him. Then he’d be coming back a moment later to test boundaries again. As an adult he was the cuddliest and gentlest big baby with humans, always careful around us. Mares teach some pretty good lessons in social etiquette.
100% he seen the 1st clue to. if I ever walk in a field of horses and see 1 that's watching another horse and me it will make me think "oh boy did I miss something here" lol
She didn't even nip. Looked like it but teeth made no contact. It was all show. Good mare. And foalies mom isn't even worried or she would've come at the first warning.
I just don't see this as an "attack", just a baby testing and learning, and a neighboring mare reinforcing limits. And the little one up ahead watching and learning, too.
The number of people whining 'it's not funny, why are you laughing!?', LOL!!! They must not have siblings. When your older sibling gets in trouble for anything, you cant just watch without cracking up 😂 this mare is not trying to kill the foal. Heck, that colt didnt even get hurt! Just because it is scary TO YOU doesnt mean the colt is at all upset by it. Literally thought 'oh, guess thats not okay', and moved on with his life.
@@cmmfahimkwt2024 I would bet money that the foal is dead because of something YOU did. Momma horses aren’t out here killing their babies. It’s never the horses fault.
Animals never do anything for no reason there’s always a reason for any behavior unlike people I don’t understand why humans think they should isolate horses from one another some humans don’t understand that horses are herd animals and they need to be treated as such
One of the biggest ways that you can respect an animal species is to learn what they're about, rather than the one-way street of making them learn about YOU. You have taken the time to get to know horse behavior, which shows to me how much regard you have for them. It's too bad others don't do the same. Hats off to you, and thanks for passing along your knowledge.
I think that one of the reasons to why the mare attacked the foal for ''no reason'' is that the foal might have already been bothering the mare before camera was on. Thats why the fast attack because the mare had already gotten enough.
Lol, how cute. That's how they learn. I agree that if the mare really intended harm toward the foal that she would've mowed the foal over. But wow! That mares face! I have to admit that it reminded me of my late mom when my siblings and I pushed her past the brink. 😅
lol I love watching how animals test boundaries and give each other warnings. Ever since I was a kid always believed they're smarter than people give them credit for.
Just like a child, testing the boundaries. Cheeky little bugger! I love your narrative Rick, it always make me laugh. You're onto it and you don't miss a trick😂
I like this video because the little guy is refining his language skills. He is learning the fine points of "speaking horse" by taking steps then observing the mare's reaction. She keeps telling him, "no," in louder and louder ways and he keeps pushing her until she shouts, "No!" With a horse's ability to remember, the next time a horse looks at him and narrows an eye, cocks an ear, and swishes a tail, he will understand and leave. As for the time when Rick thought she pinned her ears, but the camera didn't catch her head, I think he was picking up on the fact that her neck went from curved (normal when a horse has its head down grazing) to straight. That would indicate that the mare pushed her chin forward and most likely pinned her ears like when a stallion is "snaking" a mare. Just a guess anyway.
Love that little one! At about 6:21 he has the cutest expression on his face! You know the one - the "Oh crap ... Busted!" look. 😂. This whole scenario is hilarious! There's absolutely NO malicious intent on the mare's part. She's simply being a good teacher to that little foal. Too bad more humans don't teach proper respect at a young age. Horses truly are the best teachers of horses ... but I don't think it would be a bad idea if more humans took notes, and maybe picked up a couple of tips from the horsey "teacher's guidebook"! I think there would be more than a few good lessons to be learned from it! ☺😉 This was, yet again, another great video to learn from, Rick! Thank you for you constant and consistent efforts to help people learn about the way in which horses think, and therefore become more respectful and responsible horse people. You just keep on doing you darlin'! In my opinion, you are a horse's best friend! ☺
This is GOOD PARENTING. These days all parents do is threaten or take devices away. This is discipline, not abuse. This foal will turn out fantastic with this mare teaching him/her.
My opinion...HE wasn't looking to suckle. HE was being a bratty little boy who wanted to ACT like a big boy and flirt. If you look closely in the side shot you'll see how his posture becomes much more upright and compact. Steps are shorter and higher. Neck is highly arched, flexed at poll, face is vertical and I thought I saw a bit of nostril flutter. As he makes the turn to approach you can also see that he has started to drop his "boy parts". (So as not to offend delicate sensitivities.🤣) Basically he was being a naught boy who got his cheek slapped! 😈 Had he been in any danger, I GUARANTEE his momma would have been running in to save him. I'd be willing to bet she's had a similar conversation with him, but he chose not to listen. P.S...I agree with the others about the observer in the peanut gallery.
I do need to edit this: his flirty posture started BEFORE his side shot, though it CAN be seen from behind. He starts to chicken out the closer he gets to her head though.🤣🤣
No... definitely not. At this age those hormones haven’t even become strong enough. Also, colts, geldings and stallions will drop when they are relaxed and calm, it doesn’t mean anything 🤷🏼♀️
@@WhimsicalLuna2012 I agree that they will drop when relaxed. Or sleepy. Or bored. Or whatever. However, I will say that there are boys who are born with that extra bit of testosterone. They might not be ABLE....but they're definitely willing. Remember, mounting behavior in horses (like in dogs) isn't always just for breeding purposes. It can also be a way of establishing dominance. The higher up in the hierarchy the mare, the more likely you are to see this in her foals.
I honestly don't think this mom horse was trying to hurt this foal. I think she was just running him off. We all know young toddlers are young toddlers. They are just testing their boundaries. It like your walking toddler getting into something they know they should be. And when you say no to them. Their going to do it anyway just to see what your going to do. That's when you hurry to them and they hurry and move away, weather's it back to mom or any other adult or an older sibling for protection.
The mare had plenty of opportunity to hurt the foal, IF that's what she intended to do--but she didn't. The kids gotta learn their place in things, and somebody has to teach them. This is a great example of Herd Dynamics 101, class open to all foals--and stupid humans. LOL, this is a good one.
LOL teach him to listen next time. Got his little self in trouble. She could have easily hurt him badly, she was just giving him a lesson in manners. I've always said the best teachers in the world for foals and young horses, is put them in a herd let them be horses. Otherwise you end up with spoiled dangerous adult horses that do not respect other horses or you.
At everyone taking about not liking his laugh or he talks to much or whatever. The commentary isn’t for the people who just want cute horse videos without someone talking there are plenty of those out there. The point is to explain to people like me who actually come to the video to hear his opinion. Who don’t have horses but care a lot about them and are interested in their dynamics and people’s opinions on them that do interact with them. I like that he has personality and engages with the clips and laughs instead of being a robot. You can probably find horse clips without commentary but that’s literally what his channel is for.
Love the video. I had two foals this year and watching moms educating foals is amazing to watch. Eventually when the foals get a little older their moms learns to relax. I call them aunties....lol teaching
I love seeing a horse learn haha ! First time my gelding was out with my mare and foal, he got told he can't approach the foal. Mom realised pretty fast that "uncle" gave her a break from mom duty and was totally happy to let foal leave with him for a while.
Someone actually sent this to you saying there was "no reason"? It amazes me how oblivious people are. How have we survived as a species? I hope they were being facetious.
I saw something very similar to this not to long ago between a Zebra mare and foal, the foal was trying to play with his mom, but his mom want nothing to do with the play and kept telling the foal off. Everybody around me kept saying how mean the mom was being to the foal.
?? In situations like this where one momma is correcting a baby that is not hers. How often do momma horses get into fights with other momma horses in order to protect their babies? Because in today's stupid human world, women would call the police if another woman corrected their child with force. And no matter how slight! P.S. I Love the horse watching the show in the background!!
Scenes like this occurs quite often. Mares usually do not allow access of other playful fosals to their young babies. If the other foal does not pay attention it is chased, bitten or even kicked. They learn fast. If babies are old enough their mother allow them to play with others. However, the first weeks on earth they are closly protected by their mother and only own their mother nobody else. So keep distance. Only mother allows if the baby may be touched.
The mare didn’t even bite the foal, she could have easily have grabbed the foal but was only teaching him a lesson! Serves it right lol. His mum was like “well stay beside me then!” His mum would have attacked the other mare if mum thought he was in any danger!
"Can I play with Cody?"
"No, he's napping."
"Fine ... gonna play with him anyways."
"I said NO!" lol
109367 agree agree agree
I like how she never actually bit the foal but gave the foal enough of a scare to teach them a lesson
She was just disciplining him. Animals will rarely attack their own babies or those of other females unless the baby is weak, has a serious injury, or is gravely ill.

Can tell this was not the first time the colt and mama had this discussion lol
cathy “discussion” lmaooo
I absolutely love that horse in the background who just continues to watch🤣
He had his horsey camera out and filming! "Dis gonna be good, I'mma put it up on youtube and get some laffs!"
I noticed the mother of the foal that got the scolding did nothing... a "person" would have run in there and attacked the mother "how dare you bite my child!"... this momma is like, "You knew better, and you did it anyway. Now cowboy up"....

💛 👍🏼 That’s awesome that you got to see Rick’s review of your video! And yes, I learn so much too from Rick’s frame by frame for views.
Not sure if anyone saw, however, the mama horse didn't even bite the foal. She just warned him and snapped her teeth next to him
That one mare in the back is like "oh it's about to go down!"
Lots of warning from the mare. Foal didn't listen and the mare followed up. Excellent discipline lesson
Same with dogs people will cry that the mom is beating up the puppy's but shes just teaching them respect.
If only the two legged animals would use the same discipline on their own, the world would be a better place! Just noticed the black and white mama with her baby, too cute.
When it's slowdown you can see that mare just scared the foal she really didn't bite just snapped a bit to scare/discipline .
Cheeky little foal got told! No malicious behavior on the mare’s part and she never even bit the colt just made sure he followed her orders to stay away! Mom was not impressed either and simply went about her business when the baby ran back to her! Herd dynamics at its finest!
You can tell the exact second where the foal knows he screwed up. 😂
She could have nailed this baby big time but I don't think she even put her teeth on him! Great explanation of horse language. Humans could learn from this!
If you look carefully too the mare doesn't even make any contact on the foal with her teeth she intentionally misses, doesn't kick out when her legs are right up to the foal either, if this horse wanted to hurt the foal she definitely would have. Plus, if foal was in danger the actual mum would have stepped in to collect him, but she was relaxed and let the baby get his lesson.
That’s what I thought too. It looks like she actually gave the little one a nose bump on its backside. I never saw any teeth connect.
Lol! That mare didn't even lay a tooth on that colt! Notice it's a nosey male colt! No kidding every time there is a colt born there's all this drama because they are overly curious,.

This is the horse equivalent of that annoying kid from your sons school who keeps coming to your house and asking to play with your son.
Oh yeah, Mom’s giving signals, then giving SIGNALS...then ***SIGNALS*** and THEN comes the ATTACK. He had LOTS of warnings.
I totally agree, the brat was testing boundaries...notice his flicking tail, you can also see it in the height of his head as he approached her, stiffened shoulder posture, but getting ready to dodge because he KNEW she was going to come after him.

As an adult he was the cuddliest and gentlest big baby with humans, always careful around us. Mares teach some pretty good lessons in social etiquette.
his vibes were pure mischief lmao, the other mama was having NONE of it
lolol. ty for sharing your funny experience of your foal who kept testing.
The Colts mom didn't intervene so she knew he was just being taught a lesson.
It was definitely a warning. That mare could have done more to actually hurt the foal but chooses not do, it was just enough to set boundaries.
Looked to me like that foal was trying to sneak in to nurse.... he actually looked like he was tiptoeing. And this was NOT AN ATTACK. It was a lesson.
I saw that horse in the background lift up his/her head right away. Watching the whole show. Knowing what was going to happen.
Janes Dough lol sometimes the best teacher is another horse!
100% he seen the 1st clue to. if I ever walk in a field of horses and see 1 that's watching another horse and me it will make me think "oh boy did I miss something here" lol
I love the horse in the background. He's like give me the popcorn this is gonna be good.
The mare didn't hurt the baby, its not her baby, she says go back to your own mom.
This video goes to show that Moms are the BOSS! Happy Mother's Day, Moms!
She didn't even nip. Looked like it but teeth made no contact. It was all show. Good mare. And foalies mom isn't even worried or she would've come at the first warning.
Mare: no I just got him down for a nap.
Baby: I'll just try to sneak a little...
Mare: I SAID NO!
Baby: AAAH! MOOOOOM!
Love this
I love that horse in the back like “oh crap that baby’s gonna get it”
It didn't even look like she bit him just a little nudge. She had her teeth out but it looks like she nudged more with her chin.
The horse in the back is like HHHHEEEEYYY HHHEEEYY LOOK OUT
My favorite when you posts this kind of video ... Your insight is keen and humorous ... enjoyed it .
Just watch the foal's body language. He had some tude going in there. He knew exactly what he was doing and the most likely outcome lol
That little foal had HOLY SHIT written all over his face! Lol 🐴❤️💋
I just don't see this as an "attack", just a baby testing and learning, and a neighboring mare reinforcing limits. And the little one up ahead watching and learning, too.
The only crazy one here is the foal 😂
The mare didn't even connect a bite or raise a hoof, just "Shoo!"
I saw that too. Showed teeth but didn't see her bite.
The number of people whining 'it's not funny, why are you laughing!?', LOL!!! They must not have siblings. When your older sibling gets in trouble for anything, you cant just watch without cracking up 😂 this mare is not trying to kill the foal. Heck, that colt didnt even get hurt! Just because it is scary TO YOU doesnt mean the colt is at all upset by it. Literally thought 'oh, guess thats not okay', and moved on with his life.
Omg i hope she did bite bucaus i had a horse but the mother killed the foal i cried
@@cmmfahimkwt2024 I would bet money that the foal is dead because of something YOU did. Momma horses aren’t out here killing their babies. It’s never the horses fault.
Part of Houston's Mounted Patrols are now barefoot and bitless!!
She didn't even bite she just showed him he needs to pay ATTENTION
Just another lesson for a baby. If the older horse wanted to hurt the baby then that baby would seriously be messed up.
"Somebody call Foal Protective Services!! Mare "abused" baby by busting it's butt!"
I can hear the Pink Helmets now.
Animals never do anything for no reason there’s always a reason for any behavior unlike people I don’t understand why humans think they should isolate horses from one another some humans don’t understand that horses are herd animals and they need to be treated as such
Lol the horse in the back says it all. He knew something was going down well before any of us did.
LOL Great Mother's Day clip... Not all mothers are created equal LOL

Hats off to you, and thanks for passing along your knowledge.
Hey, got the notification! Baby definitely looked like he was testing.
I love how the horse teaching the lesson shows perfectly that the second the foal moved away she stopped unlike some humans who keep going for ages
Good call. She didn't just miss him, she missed him on purpose.
I think that one of the reasons to why the mare attacked the foal for ''no reason'' is that the foal might have already been bothering the mare before camera was on. Thats why the fast attack because the mare had already gotten enough.
like Dennis (Denise) the Menace
Or it simply could be the foal doesn't know personal space but is damn being taught it.. lol.
Lol, how cute. That's how they learn. I agree that if the mare really intended harm toward the foal that she would've mowed the foal over. But wow! That mares face! I have to admit that it reminded me of my late mom when my siblings and I pushed her past the brink. 😅
It's no different to a mum dog snapping at her puppy telling ot to piss off out of the way. Totally normal
'Baby Buddy'!
lol I love watching how animals test boundaries and give each other warnings. Ever since I was a kid always believed they're smarter than people give them credit for.
See how the moms tail is poised right at the beginning. She was ready for that toddler to push things lol
I saw that too! No horse holds its tail like that unless something is annoying it
Just like a child, testing the boundaries. Cheeky little bugger! I love your narrative Rick, it always make me laugh. You're onto it and you don't miss a trick😂
She didn't attack the baby lol just kinda chased him off.
I dont even think she bit him. Lol love it! Good lesson.
I think her teeth bared really scared him more - she didn't bite, just scared the heck out of him! Lol!

I ain't even a horsey person and I know when a young whippersnapper needs that whipper snapped!
Typical little boy. Looking for trouble.
She didn't even bite
She pinned her ears first saying “don’t come in” baby ignored it
I freaking love the total OHHH SHIT look on the foal on that freeze frame haha!!

I do need to edit this: his flirty posture started BEFORE his side shot, though it CAN be seen from behind. He starts to chicken out the closer he gets to her head though.🤣🤣
So she basicly told him that he is not old enough for that shit
No... definitely not.
At this age those hormones haven’t even become strong enough. Also, colts, geldings and stallions will drop when they are relaxed and calm, it doesn’t mean anything 🤷🏼♀️
@@WhimsicalLuna2012 I agree that they will drop when relaxed. Or sleepy. Or bored. Or whatever.
However, I will say that there are boys who are born with that extra bit of testosterone. They might not be ABLE....but they're definitely willing.

Cute baby horse, stirring up trouble!
Too funny! Sideways sneak up failed. 😁
The horse in the background watching the drama unfold would be me. xD Thanks for the insight, Rick!
I love their language....it's subtle but so clear. Pay attention...they tell you EVERYTHING you need to know to stay safe around them.
I honestly don't think this mom horse was trying to hurt this foal. I think she was just running him off. We all know young toddlers are young toddlers. They are just testing their boundaries. It like your walking toddler getting into something they know they should be. And when you say no to them. Their going to do it anyway just to see what your going to do. That's when you hurry to them and they hurry and move away, weather's it back to mom or any other adult or an older sibling for protection.
Definately an awe shit learning moment! Cute video!
♥she's a good momma♥
The baby was like Oh shit I better run 😂😂😂

Oh lookie another lunch box. Oh crap, outta here.
LOL teach him to listen next time. Got his little self in trouble. She could have easily hurt him badly, she was just giving him a lesson in manners. I've always said the best teachers in the world for foals and young horses, is put them in a herd let them be horses. Otherwise you end up with spoiled dangerous adult horses that do not respect other horses or you.
The people filming must’ve witnessed one of the first approaches by Buddy, Jr and thought it cute enough to post. Good mama lesson for Mother’s Day!
At everyone taking about not liking his laugh or he talks to much or whatever. The commentary isn’t for the people who just want cute horse videos without someone talking there are plenty of those out there.

I like that he has personality and engages with the clips and laughs instead of being a robot. You can probably find horse clips without commentary but that’s literally what his channel is for.
I don't even think the mare landed a bite. Not a real bite anyway.
Mares tail also up the whole time, not relaxed.
Love the video. I had two foals this year and watching moms educating foals is amazing to watch. Eventually when the foals get a little older their moms learns to relax. I call them aunties....lol teaching
I missed these commentaries on the behavior of horses without humans, they're super interesting to analyze
I'm a baby you will not hurt me ? oh shit, ok sorry
That was cute Rick! Great example of body language of the horse, from a horse....to a horse!
I love seeing a horse learn haha ! First time my gelding was out with my mare and foal, he got told he can't approach the foal. Mom realised pretty fast that "uncle" gave her a break from mom duty and was totally happy to let foal leave with him for a while.
Someone actually sent this to you saying there was "no reason"? It amazes me how oblivious people are. How have we survived as a species? I hope they were being facetious.
I saw something very similar to this not to long ago between a Zebra mare and foal, the foal was trying to play with his mom, but his mom want nothing to do with the play and kept telling the foal off. Everybody around me kept saying how mean the mom was being to the foal.
Look at that cute little long legged sweetie and that swishing tail... so cute!! Love to watch ‘dem babies!!
?? In situations like this where one momma is correcting a baby that is not hers. How often do momma horses get into fights with other momma horses in order to protect their babies? Because in today's stupid human world, women would call the police if another woman corrected their child with force. And no matter how slight! P.S. I Love the horse watching the show in the background!!
Everyone so sensitive -.- this is how horses are, it's how young horses learn respect the foal is fine.
Scenes like this occurs quite often. Mares usually do not allow access of other playful fosals to their young babies. If the other foal does not pay attention it is chased, bitten or even kicked. They learn fast. If babies are old enough their mother allow them to play with others. However, the first weeks on earth they are closly protected by their mother and only own their mother nobody else. So keep distance. Only mother allows if the baby may be touched.
The mare didn’t even bite the foal, she could have easily have grabbed the foal but was only teaching him a lesson!
Serves it right lol.
His mum was like “well stay beside me then!” His mum would have attacked the other mare if mum thought he was in any danger!
Exactly!!! Naughty little foal had it coming !!!! This is just good ole horse sense that more children need to be taught in today world !!!!!!
Looked like he was gonna try to steal some milk 😂
Just protecting her little baby from everyone and everything. Learning through the horse college of hard knocks.
