- #thinklikeahorse #ItIsNeverTheHorsesFault Good footage for a mare with a new born defending her colt and doing a damn fine job of it. The colt and mom were fine and in the original video they show them together two days after this incident.

I saw this on Facebook. It really is great footage. But you will not BELIEVE the amount of comments berating the cameraman for not helping the baby. Jesus people, these are WILD animals and these horses are being horses. Baby is probably learning lessons on how to keep himself safe and stay alive. Good god some people are stupid.
I'm beginning to think that it's a question of maturity. When I was under ten yrs I thought wildlife photographers should protect the prey. Perhaps it just our immaturity coupled with burgeoning compassion that leads to uneducated reactions.
+rubymimosa Aye, well a lot of the people commenting had an adult in their profile pictures so in not sure about the 10 year old thing. But I get your other point. As much as I wish the guy _could_ help the goal, I completely understand it is just the horses' nature. It's amazing to watch and very educational for us dummies in the horse world.
LOL, agreed.!!
lol, nature does a pretty good job without humans fucking it up at every opportunity. As for the cameraman/woman, challenging a group of studs trying to be dominant or the protective mother who has no idea what your intentions are; That would be a dumb way to die.
99 percent of those people are probably inexperienced around horses. Those of us who know realize the plain foolishness of trying to intercede with wild mustangs, especially when it comes to a stud who "wants some."
The fact they immediately calmed down when the other mares came is absolutely incredible. Their trust in each other is so fascinating
That horse mom was impressive. She just gave birth, but fights like it was any other day.
ikr she is awesome!
+Kitty Buttcheeks Clone "better than the gazelles in Africa" Most Gazelles carry for only 5-6 months and many give birth twice a year while horses carry for 11 months. This may play a role in the much stronger defence mother instinct in horses compared to gazelles. Also, in this video the mare isn't defending against predators, but other horses. Although I doubt she would have acted differently if the intrudors would have been wolves.
***** u feel any stupidier?
***** dude are you kidding me? You were right I don't like doing all that work to refute your argument .It's too much work.
What's most dangerous thing that faces American 🏇? And take to the account of the danger of living in African Savannah where predators are constantly eating those poor gazels. It's defense mechanism is to run in packs alone she can't defend her cub.
Or she too will be a meal. Like the person before told you her reproductive cycle is twice of that horse. It's make sense to not feel attached to her young because she can reproduce in short period.
***** no problem you must not take everything to the heart in the internet world . Not everyone is serious like you are.
That's was so amazing the way she was circling and kicking like crazy and managed to not damage the foal! Such precision
I agree! This footage was amazing. I kept getting very, very nervous for the foal but mama just did a beautiful job pivoting around her foal and protecting him (I have no idea whether the foal is a colt or a filly). And it looks like things settled down when the other mamas returned. I love hearing Rick's narration vs. obnoxious comments on Facebook about how the camera guy should have saved the baby, etc.. Wild horses need to learn to protect themselves.
+aleister crowley Rick's an asshole! Don't be fooled!
+Andrea Claire
You're not wrong, but neither is rick.
That mare was like my grandmother with her broom and smacking my grandfather with it when he came in the house with his boots on after she had just moped the floor lol
Sarah Welch haha XD
Sarah Welch 😂
too funny
That is what I see in my dreams... all the time
Hahaha XD lol 😂😂😂😂
I like how the presence of the second mare and her child had an almost immediate effect on her and the tension immediately fled from the scene. It was really cool.
Love how the momma can finally relax a bit when the other mares and baby show up. Great video!
i love how the other mares come and help the other one in stress!
Alexandra Fasthurricane ikr it's amazing!
Alexandra Fasthurricane ikr, so beautiful
Girl power !
Interesting. There was one instance where the foal could have gotten bit or kicked. The stallion went to sniff the foal because it was right there. But poor momma, a mother's job is never done.
The mother didn't know that. A simple sniff could turn into a stallion biting and kicking the foal. Horses are always unpredictable. The mother was trying to keep her foal safe, he was still learning to walk.
***** ?
@@oREAGano horses are " always unpredictable", I don't think so.
Those are absolutely gorgeous horses! Especially one of the stallions involved in the "pissing contest", the darker one :D Poor baby being born and shit's already hitting the fence
TheDragiix3 I agree the darker one kept catching my eye.
Brilliant footage - incredible to see just how agile and strong the mumma was so soon after giving birth and how she leapt frantically around the baby to protect it and still avoided stepping on it - as you say in many of your videos 'us dummy humans need to give the horses so much more credit and stop treating them like dumb animals...the stepping on the rope videos really opened my eyes having been around a lot of Barn Witches who turns out knew nothing! Buddy...Mr T...Rick...you are THE BEST 💙 💙 💙
So educational,
and your commentary is hilarious!
👍
I know absolutely zero about horse behavior but this was a great video to watch and the person narrating did a great job explaining everything. Thank you sir.
spartanmikek you should follow him on CZcams one of if only the best at see and telling you how it is. Sometimes he gets colorful but keep watching and learn from him
7:03 the stud gets hit in the butt and if you pause it you can see he fell a little and has mom's hoof print on him!
haha.
You'd be surprised what a fight that mare will put on... For her baby. Yes the Stallions are ultimately stronger and their tag teaming her. But the hooves will hit the fan before they touch that foal... Even though a 100% agree with Rick here, they weren't after the baby! Just to prove their dominance to all, other studs, and momma... This is awesome to watch first hand and yes you want to run in and help! But let me tell you? That foal under 24hrs old! Stands a better chance then any man (without the right equipment) anyhow...Mares have kept their babies alive for ForEver*.... Some ninnies separating them for decades can't stop natural instinct! And yes...I'm a ♀! Lol and I flipping hate Pink! Unless I'm really tan? And it's a good fitting tank top hehe
Jonelle Gentile I'd definitely fight for you!
I love how even in the animal kingdom, "no means no" still doesnt mean anything to some of the male half of the species LOL
The whole time I was watching this everytime the momma kicked i imagined an angry italian voice screaming "DONTA TOUCHA MAH BABEH"
The mom and the baby are beautiful looking and mom did a good job at defending her baby. ☺
that baby is the prettiest color that ever there was
Someone was tryin to say in another post that was very similar that the mare attacking the other horses only happens when man is involved and they are fenced in. Which is massive BS. Glad to see you showing their natural behavior with good commentary without pausing it every second.
Adorable baby!! And the summer sault at the end ☺🥰You go Momma!💪🐎
Love it when you do these videos. I have loved horses but a lover from afar only being able to ride on occasion. You can read all day long about horse behavior but the visuals, an understanding ton and great explanation make for a wonderful learning experience. LOVE IT! Keep it up dude, you rock.
That's one of the cutest things ever when the colt tries to lie down n rolls down the hill a bit, ❤️😊
stallions in general pretty much don't care about foals from other males they just want to create a herd, they're not cats(which kills offsprings of other males)
+MoonMoonFang Large non-domesticated cats will yes, kill the offspring of others, but its mostly only present in Lion prides. I wanted to point out that Domestic cats are actually highly social and will care for and play with the offspring of others much like horses. Geldings and foals = male cats in a pride and kittens. Its pretty cool to see a domestic cat pride functioning :D
+Tiro Wolfe Yep, domesticated cats rarely would harm kittens. They often even take care of them and become their "uncle".
+Atrax Robustus Wild horse stallions actually do kill new born foals from time to time, mostly when they already took a herd over from the previous dominant stallion. There would be no need for horse mares to evolve such strong defence against strange stallions if they wouldn't mean potential danger. Stallions do so because some mares with newborn foals stay loyal to the last stallion for quite some time, refusing the new stallion while the new stallion wants to mate. They usually get into heat and obey once they lost the foal.
"domesticated" feral or wild tomcats will also kill kittens. Happened here a few years ago, I'm almost certain. New tomcat moved into my area and within a couple weeks of seeing him, all three of my female cats litters were gone.
What a good mama! I'm really glad the baby didn't end up getting hurt.
I lost it when he said Mom working her butt off 😂
you go mama im glad the mares came in to help
This was great! I had no idea of how rough a mare protecting her foal would be, she kicked the heck out of the studs and if it didn't hurt she was sure getting her message across :)
Thanks so much for this.
This is something I've never seen before and I feel fortunate to have seen the footage. Good use of You Tube! I was surprised by the mother's stamina, it seems like she would get tired, but she kept up the fight. Then mares and a foal joined her to help. I would never have had the chance to see this horse behavior but I came across this spontaneously. Love it.
Hi I’m a recent viewer of your videos and just subscribed after watching 3 videos because of your hilarious humor and amazing knowledge.
My favorite part is at 5:14 “what the hell is going on.. I’ve only been in the world for a little bit and all hell is breaking loose” 😂😂
"Moms kicking the shit out of the stallions"lol so funny #good mom
You may thing it is funny, but that hurts! All we want to do is help her!
❤️❤️❤️ so adorable. Much appreciated. Horses are such beautiful and smart creatures. The stallions, lolll. 😂 Like she's really leaving her baby to be impressed by them. 😃❤️ Made my day again, Think Like A Horse.
We need more Buddy and Mr.T!!
I love the part at 3:15 it's so funny when he laughs cussing!!😂😂
WOW. Thanks for sharing this video, is Awesome to see 👀 that MAMMA defending her BABY. Thanks.
The mom was all like, back da fuck up. And the foal was all like, Halp.
Well done that mare. Nature is just so beautiful ❤️🐎
This was amazing to watch, horses are majestic creatures.
Yes they are & so very smart !!!!! 🎯
Whoo just gave birth, now gotta protect, bet she's exhausted
"When a woman punches a guy it doesnt have the same impact" lol, yup... socially and emotionally that man would be destroyed
Wow! Mom....really got a workout there...🐎
Liked 👍
Poor Momma Bear, give her a rest silly boys!!! Great video and commentary I really enjoyed it
Thank you so much Rick for the video but even more for the entertaining yet educational way you present this and all your videos on both channels. As I've said before you could show earthworms. and make it interesting. How about a quick if necessary look at RooRoo and the hens. A spring presentation of the Gore family would be complete. Please know I ask this with the utmost sincerity and honest care. I so enjoy anything of your fur hooved or feathered family. Always to be presented by you in your special way. Its such a good day when you post new videos and so many learn so much.
That's a very good mom!
@5:47 is the neck bite he's referring to toward the baby. Great video they caught! Thank you for the commentary
Wonderful footage -nicely narrated thanks for posting
The buckskin stallion actually looked like the leader of the herd and was defending the mare from the other bachelors. The mare was stressed either way. Great footage.
Your voice over made me smile it was great!
Gorgeous horses. little babies are so adorable
Super relieved once the mare's herd found her and her foal.
Wow what a great mare she is! I have never seen anything like this before!!
Mom has great foot work. Mares coming in and saving the day and helping her
Great footage. Well done to you. You did a great job all round, great to listen to. Great video and great Mum.
Mamma was doing a very good job protecting her baby. I would want a mare to be like that in my herd. Nothing would mess with her foal. No way
Thanks for the video! Very interesting behaviour indeed!
What an adorable baby as well!
Wow, horse entertainment, I was like please don't hurt the foal. 🐎
good mom right there, able to compete just like its wild counter parts
Go mom go. Wonderful video. Such a great job of a mare protecting her very young foal.Micheline Kribs,Rolla,Mo
Baby's born and like ..Woooaahhh my mom's a bad Ass..!!😂😂
Nature makes the best moms!!
Those are some damn beautiful horses! That greyish stallion at the end is just such a handsome horse.
Wow, never saw something like this before... but it's amazing to see how the mare is fighting for her foal's safety
Great video and really excellent commentary.
Great video. As always Rick. Nature at its best
What I thought was interesting. So the first stud that came into the picture was put in his place by the mare and accepted it. Now the dark one is coming in and what's very interesting is that I believe that first stallion now took on the role of protecting the mare and baby from the other stallion. Like even tho he couldn't move the mare, he claimed her already and now took over the role of the herd stallion. Which means now he's protecting his herd from other stallions. And that's what he's doing for the rest of the video. Granted he got one more kick by mamma but if you watch closely you can tell that he's claimed them now.
This should have been named stupid inappropriate male behavior (typical for any species ). Mom is awesome
+hika light
And the poor woman who blames men for all her problems in life shows up and blames horses for being horse, then makes it a sex thing saying men are bag, women is great. STFU and get your ignorant feminazi ass out of here. Typical Barn Witch, runs around giving her ignorant advice to anyone that will listen and does not understand a damn thing. Don't you have a woman are better than men protest to be at?
+Think Like A Horse can a mare be run away from her foal by her stalion if he did would the other stalions kill the new baby. or would mom give everyone a beating.
your comment was very sexist. stop applying human logic to animals they're different. Oh and by the way I'm a woman and men are awesome!!! down with feminazis!!!
+zee30000
omg lmao a woman screaming for male attention its hilarious =D
I don't see you offended at the comment when the guy is saying women can't really hit men as if men can't get hurt from women LMAO talk about sexism to men. everyone thinks men can't get hurt when they clearly can Loooolll
+Think Like A Horse
LMAO I KNEW IT you're exactly what u thought you are. sweetheart you make all men look like shit. do glad they aren't all like YOU lmao
look at your busted pride Lmaoooo
Jesus... Brings a bit of a tear to the eye, seeing such determinism and dedication.
That's a God damn _good_ dam!
I'm always amazed at wild horses. Honestly as much as I love domestic ones I think mustangs are my favorite. They're so wild and free.
The black baby was clacking at 7:02! Great video rick !
Love your videos and commentary
I can't acc believe people are mad at the camera man for not helping! Wild horses know what to do they do not need help from someone who is stupid enough to come over and 'help' so stop showing hate towards him he totally did the right thing and stayed back and didn't interfere
Top footage & to think that people were having a go at the cameraman for not stepping in, show's the stupidity of those people. Like, seriously how far would the cameraman have gotten before he was taken out & likely killed by the mare or stallions? Not far, no way I'd even think about going anywhere near them.
I'm actually wondering how the idiot's would've helped? Maybe walk up with a bag of carrots and tried a mediation? LMAO
That was incredible.... thank you for sharing the video and your expertise!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't understand why people separate the pregnant mother, then it gives birth. But is still separate from the herd. They really don't trust horses with other horses?!
+Allyson Marie Mares often separate themselves when they go off to give birth. They do prefer privacy. In this situation the mare was disturbed by another herd. Separating the mare does give her that privacy feeling. It is usually the stallion that is taken away from the herd in domestic herds raised by humans.
+fokir sre How well the your mare does is how much she had learned or relearned herd behavior. What status she holds in the herd. But after she is established and such, if she had a foal, that foal would be okay. It would probably benefit greatly being in the herd then being separated from the herd. The mare will set boundaries for the others regarding her foal. The foal will learn how to be a horse. And will have friends to play with. Gives mom a break.
Allyson Marie wild horse
The foal is absolutely beautiful though 😍😍
That buckskin is gorgeous. O.O
I watched this on Facebook earlier today and I was hoping you would see it and do a commentary. Really great footage.
I laughed too about what that baby must be thinking.
Welcome to the world of free horses, Patriot. (Cool name)
That momma mare was really good at protecting her baby. Good footage of what really happens in the wild.
Wow that’s incredible footage you can she was still having contractions she done an awesome job
I love that roll!😍😂~Elli
My moms horse used to have a best friend who was a younger horse (My moms horse was really old and retired) and when the younger horses would get rough and try to knock about my moms horse the best friend horse would guard my moms old horse. Also when my moms horse died his best friend wouldn’t eat or move for days because he was grieving and they had to get the vet in. The people in the farm said they’d never heard of anything like it before.
Great ma'am,
LOL! @4:9, srud was like "I ain't do NUFFIN'", Then, slunk off....
You Helped Me A Lot With My Horse's Behavior Problems, Thank You.
Terrific video and great comments. You are right on!
i agree mom did a great job defending her baby
Pretty cool... They might just know what they're doing without us buttin' in all the time.
I like the narrator's southern accent. Especially when he said "baby." :D
Lawd I had such a laugh at your play by play of this. You are so dang funny and yet I found your explanation spot on and helpful to those that are watching to learn behavior.
lol the stallion biting the mares like "no get back. She doesn't want you guys close to the baby"
Mom's just like "I dont want you around the baby either you numnuts"
Showing that mother love
Beautiful horses! The stallions look so majestic
the life is good wow what a nature the wild one... good vedeo.
great footage, fun commentary
EXCELLENT FOOTAGE,,,,,WOW THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT INSIGHT OF HORSES
Dude, this guys commentary was hilarious and made this footage even better and more interesting 😂
What an awesome mom 🐎😙
Foals like ahhh what did I do my head hurts lol
The mum is like : babe get your coffee and go
Pretty rock n’roll delivery
💕💖
of all the videos i've seen about animals and nature, i have never seen anything as powerful as this one.
+FreeBird I've watched this several times now and Mama's footwork and gentle treatment of her baby alternating with vicious attacks on the studs is amazing to me. That instinctual drive that alllows her to "switch hats" from second to second is what causes me to simply revere the horse. My God...
Also amazing to me is the way the mares rush in and circle around Mama and her baby. I watched another video recently of a mustang mare giving birth in the wild and she also was surrounded by her female herd mates, standing guard in order for her to focus on the job at hand. Don't know that even humans have similar concern for one another.
As usual, your commentary adds so much Rick. Just one of some great one-liners: "only been alive a little bit and all hell is breaking loose" caused me to blow coffee through my nose!
#freebird- u r spot on about rick's one-liners.
3:15 Bam! she gotten a good aimed Kicked on the side of the Dark chocolate stallion
The color is bay😂
Beautiful video , thank you for sharing .
