That stallion is so polite to the toy pony, hes gradually increasing the "volume" of his body language.
Pony ded. Pony dieded.
RIP in peace fake pony

lol some funny comments here..
+Think Like A Horse hehe, yeah, I couldn't resist :P
Autumn Rainwater Ⓥ I'm a psycho because I'm telling the truth. Nice one, but please stop liking your own comments, you really don't behave like an adult and your comments are saying me, that you are just a 10 year old girl who thinks she is better than anyone.

Gimme some! *trying to steal your popcorn*
I think that pony would have been much safer if it was wearing a pink helmet. why didn't someone put a helmet on that poor pony? Poor little Sugar didn't have a chance...
Omg I laughed so hard when the fake pony went flying!
2Lucid same omg
2Lucid me too XD

THE PONY WAS JUST BEING NICE...
😂😂😂😂

1) The fake pony (may the good Lord rest his little furry soul) is the pony that little baby in your other video should have been playing with.
2) To those just starting out, what a great example of what you DO NOT want to see your horse doing when you're around. If you do, you'd better get to your computer stat and watch a few more Mr. Gore videos on dominance, being higher, moving feet, etc. because your horse has figured you out and is fixing to teach you a lesson, and you're going to have what Mr. Gore calls, "A significant emotional learning event".
3) What a beautiful horse. Glad the guy filming sounded like he had a sense of humor. Mean man. Probably used his kids toy. :)
I look forward to reading your comments almost as much as a new video front Rick.
Well thank you. I just call it like I see it and fully believe that life's just better when it's funny. :)
Yeah lol. They seemed to laugh after the horse kicked the fake pony. Kind of felt relieved when I heard it.
That could have been that little girl from the last video you did. Those haters should watch this and learn...if the pony had been pink the horse wouldn't have kicked it. The Barnwitch Daily says that Pink = Love and Friendship to horses.
+ANonPaidAttorneySpokesperson
"Barn Witch Daily" LMAO! XD
hahaha!
to be honest the horse was being extremely nice no I'm not talking about the fake pony I'm talking about the horse he was being nice because he was gving the pony alot of chances and as think like a horse said giving chances and its natural horse behaviour
RIP buttercup the pony
Big horse says, "Say, that's a cool mini-horse-robot. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it..."
LOL.
*kicks it into outer space*
"Oops, my bad."
I use to do the same with my kids... I would prance around shaking my head and throwing my arms up in the air, stomp through the house, warning them.
If they didn't listen, then I showed my back kick lol
"But Rick, that big horse was being mean to the little fake pony." lol
Notice just how many warnings the grey horse gave. That's why HORSES OR PEOPLE ONLY GET KICKED IF THEY CHOOSE TO. A horse will most often give lots and lots of warnings before kicking or biting. Stupid humans that get kicked or bit don't know how to read the warning signs.
I love this horse!! Perfect example of the horse normal instinct and attitude.
what a beautiful horse. and he had such a beautiful kick as well.. Really really beautiful form... Poor horse he's gonna be really confused now, he did everything he could to get that Lil pony toy to back down, so he wouldn't have to hurt it ... And now that he finally kicked it, the pony is going to be laying in one spot not moving, so he's probably going to think he killed it. Poor guy he's so confused by that thing. Damn he sure is gorgeous though, and that kick was absolutely beautiful.
Damn this is just like a day in my office.... Great vid Rick!
I laughed when he kicked the toy horse 😅😂😅
He murdered that toy XD I always like how you dissect horse behaviour. Very interesting.
KathArtify oh thank god it was a toy for a minute I tough it was real
A real pony would've put Baby in a corner.
Rip pony.

Pony got WRECK'D!
A horse page that I follow recently put this video up. The idiot barn witches went on and on about how this was not funny and how this will make the horse mean and hostile towards humans and real mini horses. Some even said it needed to be put down. I just linked them your video and was on my way. Can't believe people that own horses can't tell real horse behavior. Thanks for the videos Rick!
Nice. You right. Thas horse world. Thank you for making us understand about their behavior. keep posting great videos!
That grey is gorgeous.
Just subbed, I have decided to get my first horse next year & am really liking the info I get from your videos. what a blessing you are, sir. 📣🎼💖
I'm thinking the horse was rather patient, in horse terms/ behavior. And that was some smooth kick too, not too high, not to low, spot on.
😤Absolutely horse talk to poor li' fake one. lol A lesson to people who don't know horse behavior & what could definitely happen in a situation like this. Good job! 👍
“I’m trying to do things so I don’t have to kick you”- horse
Thank you; good breakdown of situation. Have never seen fake pony reaction like this. Excellent test/results.
Would you say that pink or purple reins are the most effective? Hehe, just kidding.. I love your videos! You are so inspiring in your knowledge of horses behavior. My view on horses has really changed since I started watching your videos. Thank you for the learning opportunity!
Fantastic present for the barn witches: "My crushed Little Pony" (available in pink).
Wishing you and your followers a healthy, happy, and horsy New Year, from Belgium. ;-)
Great video Rick! Good morning from New Zealand!
I showed my mom this video without the audio and I didn't tell her it was a fake horse and my mom was like " it killed it!"
What I wonder, is that why some horses imprinted, raised in isolation or bottle fed are learning abnormal herd behavior? Like the pony, not understanding clear warnings in natural horse language. I think those horses are frequently the ones getting picked on the most when exposed to a true horse herd environment. Sad for those guys. Unfortunately I don't know if some ever 'get it'. By the way...LMAO (but you could have laughed a little longer with me when the furry friend bit the dust) You scored again Rick thanks
lol, he kicked the shit out of that thing
I really enjoy the videos where you analyze horse behavior. This horse was goaded into demonstrating it all.
Crazy as it sounds, I don't know why seeing a horse do the bowing neck, make his stompity stomp, strut around showing dominance is so magnificent for me to just love to watch.
Horses are just such beautiful creatures! I get to watch and listen to you explain the behavior. So I'm gonna hang around your channel.
No horses are harmed or dressed in pink costumes by this new subscriber! LOL Where do I meet a barn witch? LMAO
Maybe I shouldn't even try!
Very interesting your videos. Well explained, logical.
Thanks!
Excellent example of horse communication. Good read Rick.
I got myself kicked once, however he wasn't aiming at me specifically, one of his paddock mates was running around and he was getting really excited. He wasn't in defense mode but I was standing near him and he did a little buck and landed it on my knee, he calmed down pretty fast after that though. He didnt actually see where I was and I wasn't being self aware ether, too distracted by his paddock mate. Anyway he is a lovely pony, he is so calm and so chilled out, I dont think I have met any horse/pony as quiet and gentle as him, he didnt exactly have the best past and we started out a bit rocky as he hated jumping due to a previous accident. Now he is happy enough to jump, but I think thats is only because he trusts me that both him and me arnt gonna get hurt. (His previous owner had a bad fall while jumping and broke a bone, he stopped jumping after that)
Love it . Thanks! That horse is very nice and patient! And so clear . Love it
Great comments,great info,straight to the point,keep up the vids!
Haha this video is brilliant! Love the video, love the comments on it too! That little pony'll be respecting the big horse from now on I'm sure.
I'm so glad I found this channel, I've learned more in two days about horses than my entire life!
ikr! same :D
"oxygen-deprived" hahah love it! Great analysis!
I think the pony is going to need more than just a Band-Aid to be fix. Great video!
I love your Behavior Videos! So much to learn out of them!
Beautiful to watch all those instinctive moves it went through before escalating the pressure.
Hilarious, but spot on. You really know these animals, and your spin on it is a delight to listen to.
That's one of the most beautiful horses I've seen. He's probably thinking, damn little pony has balls of steel, he's not backing down. Size matters.
I shall be looking to seeing these actions next time I am near a horses, excellent educational info!
Guess the horse showed the meaning of "getting the stuffing kicked out." Nice video and explanations of "bowing up."
Amazing and funny as hell. As you said, that horse did everything it could before it kicked, and then the kick was short and well-controlled and only meant to send a message, not to kill.
My goodness . Folks you really need to browse Ricks site . I have never known anybody to put that much work in to something and expect absolutely zilch money wise in return . How can anyone dislike him after you see what effort and passion he has put in to help horses . That sight is equivalent to a degree without the certificate but horses don’t care about certificate s anyway !
U need to photoshopped the pony with black sunnies and a cigar.....living the gangster life! Lmao
That pony gets the shit kicked out of him, lol!
Such a beautiful horse
Your comments on videos like that have taught me the most about horses. I wish I had seen them 20 years ago when I started riding, but of course barn witches don't tell you stuff like that. Ah, it's never too late!
Once you learn the behavior it’s pretty easy to see. This should be taught in schools
It's some how funny when the pony gets flung like ten feet away at 4:27
Great show of exactly how precise these animals are with their strikes and kicks. Beautiful horse. Kinda wonder how Mr T and Buddy would deal with that lil pony 🙂
But Rick... the cute little horsey loves to play with the pony its so cute awwwww
Simultaneously very educational and very funny!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours - just goes to show how horses kick ass xD
There's this small grey pony at the horse sanctuary where I volunteer whose terrified of people (poor boy had live fireworks thrown at him in the past) and I am wondering what me, and others at the farm, could do to gain his trust. I'm not expecting any miracles, that's impossible, but I want to make him more comfortable around people. I have been walking up to him with my hand out, and when he comes over and touches me with his nose I move away from him which seems to be helping. But I have no idea if that is a good idea. What would you suggest? I'm open to suggestions.
+Rumble Fish
no need for miracles just understand a horse he is scared because people around him don't know how a horse thinks and they run around the Internet asking anyone who will answer. IF you really want to help then read my website and watch my videos, if that is too much trouble then keep running around and asking simple questions looking for simple and fast answers.
+Think Like A Horse
I said I wasn't looking for miracles and I know that isn't possible. But yeah, you're right. Sorry, I feel pretty stupid now. But I will do that. Looking at your website I mean, not the whole running around the internet thing.
+Think Like A Horse
And this is the only time I have asked for advice on the Internet when it comes to horses. I understand his fear and, though I have been around horses since I was three, I don't know everything. But it's not like I know absolutely nothing about them.
Rumble, no need to feel stupid for asking for a little advice! It would have taken just a minute of his time to make a simple suggestion, rather than offing you. Soooo helpful! He spent more time telling you not to bother him than he would have in giving you a little advice! Hope you work it out.
Rumble Delta I say well done for actually asking for advice. You would be surprised how much help and advice you can get by posting a question like this. Sounds as though you are doing the right thing. I think it is a case of building trust and him wanting to be with you which means that you back off and even stand with your back to him after you get his attention. That method worked for me when I got my pony after his previous owner used to beat him with a shovel. Basically you want him to want to be with you and ask for your attention. Hope that makes sense
4:28
Horse used kick, it was *super effective!*
Funny thing is, when I was little, I had that exact same horse, It's name was Butterscotch, I think. Gorgeous stallion in the video by the way. He was pissed off at that lil' half pint lol.
I bet the big horse felt bad after he kicked him :(
He was like "Man, why'd you make me kick you? And now *you're DEAD!* :(((
Hey Rick what happened to your website, every time I try to go to it I get a message that says "This account has been suspended"???
That is one beautiful horse. That is all I could think throughout that video. Gorgeous! I think he/she needs to come live with me!
Good lesson! I like it dude! Keep up the good work! I should compare horses with good/bad cops!
I laughed so hard when that toy pony went flying.
That dummy is OUTTA THERE!
Thanks for dissecting this video Rick. This video isn't as bad as some, and I believe that it's healthier to help an animal move through fear, but I don't understand people thinking a scared animal is funny. I get that this gave the horse an opportunity to win. Just as a crocodile is given mental stimulation by chasing keepers (and lawn mowers!) out of their enclosure. And you are so right that ignorance in a human can lead to bad things for a horse.
I hope the original poster put a good and explanatory description on the video.
This is really great. I truly believe in, 'think like a horse'. Very good and informative video. Thanks.
Love your commentary. Subbed. I don't even have a horse.. 😃
“ok, now he got the point”
For some reason I cannot stop laughing my head off at this. Seen a video where there was a mare protecting a toy pony around the same size as this fake pony. As if it was a real foal. Made me think about the horse's perspective and how they see things. This mare would not allow anyone near her "baby" (She was a retired brood mare). In the video it stated that they did take the toy away and she freaked out as if they took her foal away so they had to return the toy to calm her down.
and everything happened because pony was female and had no helmet!!!
Just out of curiosity, was it a mare, gelding or stallion and would that make any difference to the behavior or not at all?
i love all your videos. i found a place where i can work with horses and i am loving it evern tho i am a lil rusty on things 😄
At first i thought that was a miniature pony and i was thinking OH NO
ohhhhh buttt Rick... little Buttercup Ariel's Unicorn.. wasnt wearing his snowflake rainbow glitter helmet... right?
If a horse reacts this way with a human standing their ground (say when working with them), how should that person react/communicate to show leadership or dominance? Or should the person be even standing their ground in the first place?
Well that is one deadl pony toy
I have a question that I have never seen the answer to. What do you do with a horse that rears? How can you stop that behavior ?
Say I was in the pasture petting my horse, and he started to try to be dominant and points his ears and bows and what not. How do I show I'm higher than him without getting hurt?
Round pin and ground work
Poor defenseless little fake horse never had a change against that huge mean bully . He was asking for trouble because he should have been wearing a nice hot pink helmet with a matching pink rug could have saved his life .
Link to original video?
Your my fav CZcams lol I wish there was more of you lol
Buttercup went flying. Handsome stallion
How did I miss this one? Oh well. Beautiful horse.
That was pretty funny how the horse acted around the robotic horse toy and thinking it was a real horse. lol!
I have seen videos of horses interacting with the horse puppets that are used in the War Horse theater play.
They didn't act like what this big boy did to the toy, they just looked at them, sniffed them, they were a bit confused but interested in the puppets.
Looks like a stally! I thought it was funny when he kicked it!! He was very patient he gave so many warnings.
what should we do if a horse was doing this to us ? should we move and show that we do not wanna fight or show dominance if we are leading thr horse ?
ok thanks
4:28 "Okay, now he got the point" LOL Rip fake pony! Beautiful horse behavior. As silly as it may seem to use since we know the pony is fake, it's completely understandable from the perspective of this horse. Good little old video, Rick!
Great video👍👍👏👏
why can I not get on your website? it say suspended?

Hello Rick, great video again. Your website thinklikeahorse.org is not available. It looks like it is suspended. Is that because I'm in Europe? I really like your website. Hope it is a minor issue. Keep up the good work. Greetings from The Netherlands
Great, it works again :)

Just rewatch video. It's a great example of horse behavior
wow that looks like a barb! Probably an andalusian, you rarely see horses like that. Such raw barb/iberian traits. Oldest, very hard to find anymore in horses even in spanish bloodlines and african barbs. People tried to completely wipe out berber traits, and well it almost worked, but these horses were strong, solid, and sturdy horses, thanks to them we have quarter horses best traits, all from the true forgotten barb, people once thought as ugly and bad conformation. Just opposite.
Dude I don't know if you will read this but it's not like I have a choice it is what it is but I am taking a small 8 year old Arabian stud and 5 yr old mare on to cdt in new Mexico soon . The vet and 2 old cowboys told me it wouldn't do any good to cut him to old and very high strung. We have a good working relationship. We're going to Montana via cdt . Any advice on trail routines would be appreciated. Don't say don't do it I'm doing it.
bullshit, cut him yesterday, he will still keep some stallion behavior but he will calm down and will not get mares pregnant.
Poor little pony. Got T-bagged for he met his demise. :(
