Wild Stallions Try To Kill New Baby Horse - This Is Not What I See - Horse Herd Behavior Discussed

- #thinklikeahorse #ItIsNeverTheHorsesFault There is a MYTH out there that all Stallions will kill any baby that is not theirs. I would like to debunk that living legend. I think this video does this.

A round of applause for the mare who finds the energy to repeatedly make kicks despite just having given birth. That is an incredible show of strength. in itself.
Yessssss
This is from a herd in Wyoming. The woman said stop because someone was starting to walk towards the mustangs outside of sight of the camera. I remember when the video came out. One of the two stallions is the leader of mares herd and was simply protecting his mare from the bachelor stallions. The mare was worked up because the bachelors had been trying to steal the mare. If I remember correctly the only reason the fight ended is because more mares from the mare's herd come up and the opportunity to steal went away.
Very good to hear the facts, and I hope, Rick, you see this, that the woman was warning other people away from the horses.
Thank you for sharing.
Do you know the original videos name?
4 year old video but so cool
@@whyamidizzy8694 I can't remember. I watched it through a link from the group's Facebook page.
@@aurorarowley7310 all good! I found it :)
I watched a horse documentary where a stallion stole a mare with a colt, and he allowed her baby(not his)to stay with the herd longer than any of his own male offspring.
Not sure how rare that is.
It's not rare. It happens all the time, very common. Horse's aren't predators, they never kill their own kind no matter what... normally it's an accident. Mares are the dominate in the herd, no stallion wants to get on the wrong side by killing what isn't theirs. The Alpha mare won't let the stallion stay in the herd and the Alpha mare won't let the stallion near her and therefore he has no herd. No stallion is stupid enough to kill a foal that isn't theirs. This long winded video could have been summed up with real horse talk by simple saying this.
@@xoselhket genuine question, i know horses and zebras arent the same but as far as i know they have the same hierarchy, structure and way of communicating in the herd. However ive seen a lot of evidence and articles whereas zebra stallions do kill offspring which is not theirs
So why is that? Because i don't thibk imaware of the explanation, and why would only zebras do it, and horses not
@@elirya119 Zebra's are far more aggressive than horses, on multiple occasions I've seen clips of Zebra's kill without warning (intentional or not), so I wouldn't be surprised if those articles were true
He's picking favorites
"Barn witches" lol. Politics aside. Stallions are not cruel and malicious beings that want to kill foals for no reason. Most stallions have sad isolated lives kept away from a herd. It's a wonderful thing to see them in a state like this video.
I love this channel. It’s so nice to see someone showcase real horse behaviour without attaching human behaviour and emotion too it. They are horses, they are not people. That mare is one fierce mama! Thanks for the upload and the great commentary Rick.
Rick also reminds everyone that they are animals and they operate on instinct
I agree @ HorsesAreBetterThanPeople. No anthropomorphization in these videos. Thankfully!!
To me at least, this is one of the best comments I’ve seen on his ‘Think Like a Horse’ channel. 🙌👌😁
Agreed. I'm so glad to hear truth in these commentaries. At no point in this video did I think that babe was is trouble. This is absolutely normal horse behavior and it has nothing to do with human behaviors.
Same and my cousin is a horse breeder and retired firefighter
That little blue-grey foal is so beautiful.
As a breeder of horses for 30 years I am sure the stallions were curious for several reasons. One being to see if she is ready to breed and to investigate. The foal is only a matter of hours old. The mare is uneasy because there are so many in the band and obviously she has to put up a strong fight whether one or more approach. Stallions do not kill foals per se even if its not theirs. The colt is probably coming to sexual maturity if not already and he is more interested in breeding with her. She looks a mature mare and will have probably had this happen before. He is definitely not wanting to kill the foal or the mare. He wants to smell it at best, but thats how horses establish who the father is. I would wonder why she is alone and not with other expectant mares in a creche situation if she was he would have been seen off by many mares, probably why he has approached with such force .For horses to survive as a species it is not in their interests to kill only to dominate so as to breed and keep genetics diverse that helps to avoid inbreeding too. Just another thought mares will leave the herd to give birth usually not far away, they generally foal at dawn in the wild.
Being a breeder you only know tame horses I was a mustanger before the government got involved. (yes I am in my late 70's) In the wild, the stallions try to fight over a mare they think is in heat. some times foals get killed.
@@marcietee3841 There is no difference in wether a stallion is tame or feral only in that tame stallions are kept separate and feral stallions are not. Feral stallions do not wantently kill foals. There may be instances where a foal may die as a result of being between them when a mare is in heat. This has been studied and documented. It was found that it is not in the interests of wild horses to kill foals and or youngsters. Sick foals can be killed by stallions yes that is true.
I read about a theory. a mare that just gave birth smells somewhat similar to a Mare in heat, which young enxperienced horses can't really tell the difference till they are a bit older.
@@k9thundra yes the hormone which is produced to enable birthing is similiar but not the same. Studs are only interested in the hormone that is produced when she is in heat. This mare is not in heat as she has only given birth about an hour previously. Stallions go entirely on smell and if a mare is very close to eostrus he may show interest but she will not and will tell him in no uncertain terms!
I love seeing horses in the wild in such great shape and how their hooves are naturally worn beautiful all round 🐴
All I see is a batchelor stallion trying to get himself a mare. I doubt he is even thinking about the foal.
I’ve only ever seen infanticide with mainly predator animals. Males come in, kill babies that aren’t theirs, and mate with the females. Zebras have also been known to do this, but zebras aren’t horses, they’re homicidal barcode donkeys lol. I’ve never met a male horse, gelding or stallion, who wasn’t curious about a baby, and they’ve never shown aggressive behaviors. Of course, there’s always an outlier who acts aggressively, but who truly knows why? Maybe the baby had something wrong with it? It’s just like you said, there’s a number of reasons why a male would kill a baby, regardless of if it’s theirs or not.
What I see here is a couple of stallions getting curious about a mare who just so happens to have a baby, and then they start fighting, and mom is just not having it.
“Don’t roughhouse near the baby, go play somewhere else!” Is what I hear every time she kicks.
"homicidal barcode donkey" is an amazing description and I am now going to use it whenever I speak about zebra 🤣
I see another viewer of Casual Geographic...
Homicidal Afro Donkeys...
Barcode with a Rap sheet...
Homicidal Oero horse...
I watched a video some while back of a stallion called Looking Glass who killed a foal, but the foal had something wrong with its legs and couldn't get up. I believe he was putting it out of its misery and it was very hard to watch, but that's nature.
@@ashn_antics9123 Well the foal couldn't get up nor could it walk so it wouldn't be able to keep up with the herd. What that stallion did to the foal was a mercy killing. He didn't want the foal to suffer starvation and he knew that the mother won't leave her foal and predators would take a chance to kill the baby.
There's no ways a horse stallion would kill a foal even if it wasn't his.
can we just take a minute and talk about how stinkin' cute that foal is?
Can you imagine this is his introduction to the herd, how he processes it? Party 🎉 time!
The only wild equine known to routinely kill a foal that isn’t theirs are zebras
I've owned a stallion, and mares. I guarantee you if that stallion wanted to hurt that baby, it would have already been done. Also, look at his ears. He isn't showing aggression towards the baby or mare. He doesn't have his ears flat back. When those ears goes flat back, then you have real aggression. Edit: now that I've watched most of the video, all I can say is those dang TEENAGERS picked a heck of a time and place to have their little fight (rough house), lol. They weren't after the baby. If anything, I think they were basically "showing off" in front of the mare. She just didn't want them fighting around her baby.
Poor Mom, she just wants the stallions to go away and fight where they are not so close to the baby. I always enjoy your explanations
"Pink Panty Posse" 🤣 No one should be upset by the idea that males are flashier/shinier etc. Look at the bird world. Also Lassie was played by a male collie because he was prettier. His coat was better and for longer duration than a female's would be.
I completely agree with you that nobody should be upset by the fact that males in some species are "flashier" than females. However, that fact isn't a universal one, and I don't think people should be offended by that either. As a dairy goat breeder i can attest to the fact that male goats are really ugly compared to females. They pee all over their long hair in the breeding season and it gets really gross looking and very smelly.
While "males are flashier than females" is a fact for some species, I think the difference between the looks of feral horses has more to do with the different nutritional requirements of mares and stallions. Mares are going to have much greater nutritional requirements due to the strain of having foals each year, and so of course their coats are going to be in poorer condition and their BCS are going to be lower. This is evident in the fact that female performance horses look basically identical to stallions, minus the "cresty" neck and slightly heavier muscle stallions get.
"ignorant people, they're everywhere!" 😂

It's true, humans are probably one of the only examples where the females tend to be prettier than the males. And that's less due to the way we look naturally and more just due to our culture (makeup, different clothing, hair styles). I understand when you are fed up with people spreading misinformation and I admire you wanting to educate people about horse behavior. But you are a bit abrasive in my opinion. I've found it's easier to communicate and educate others when you come from a place of empathy, i.e. instead of making fun of the person in the video for being concerned, understanding that it's a natural instinct for humans to be concerned for babies. And reassuring people that, as you said, the baby is probably not in mortal danger and is a wild horse and so is tougher than domestic horses. You might just find less people challenging you if you try to create connections instead of making fun of people who argue with you. I understand if that is your character and you are satisfied with the way you educate. I can respect that. Just wanted to leave some advice. I love seeing people educate about horse behavior and welfare and would hope it could reach as many people as possible.
P.S. I'm not sure that politics and social issues have a place in a channel titled "think like a horse". Maybe I've misinterpreted what your channel is about. But I found the numerous political rhetoric pretty distracting from your message about the horses.
Because people put their human emotions and thoughts onto animals. Usually female. Facts don’t care about your feelings. I worked with dogs, and the worst dogs I ever saw were owned by females who called them fur babies. Sorry ma’am, terriers are killing machines, not emotional support animals. This guy is sick and tired of all the pandering to all the fools crying animals are babies and that male and female are just the same. I see and hear it all the time. I think he’s funny as hell, and spitting facts.
I understand what you mean. I thought he was kinda tough in one point but the rest won my heart. I love his realism and it actually cheered me up from a bad episode of depression today (very bad thoughts today). It is indeed easier to laugh at silly situations than get mad but you are right in the end, empathy is good to have in the end. I also agree with Cherry here too. People are quickly descending into madness and I can and do appreciate that he values the true function of creation and how we are built versus what people are trying to push nowadays.
@@Tenebarum You're wrong about those dogs. They will only end up killing and/or being very aggressive if you abuse and/or mistreat them.
@@dabi-is-online23 No. There absolutely are dangerous dog breeds. Every damn time someone is mangled by a pit bull mongrel the owners always say the dog never showed aggression. I’ve seen a couple turn on a dime with no provocation. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Moral of the story - DON'T MESS WITH MOMS!
Poor baby what an introduction to the world, hit the ground, stand up, run, avoid stallion fight. She took a direct hit the the darker stallions face, there was an impact sound and you hear the stallion yell and at about 30:10 he has a bloody face. Great show of force from mom.
RIP Mr T. That was actually the 1st video of yours that I watched. Cried like a baby.
Horses arent inherently bad, it is not in their nature to maliciously cause harm.
This is just another example of horses working things out
Aww, Tanner was testing Dad's foot reflexes 😄.
Great video Rick. I don't think anyone told my stallion he was suppose to kill the six wild foals we weaned with him every year for ten years. He did a wonderful job, patience of a saint.
Great narration, Rick! You are definitely right.. If those bachelor stallions wanted to kill the newborn, they could have. It looked like they were trying to claim momma because her herd was Stallion was nowhere around. She gets so caught up in running off the bachelors, she lashes out at her own Band Stallion as well. He is such a caring boy, that he doesn't push her too hard to get back to the herd. Then her mare sisters come to back her up. If the bachelor Stallions were trying to kill that baby, they would have grabbed him up by the neck & shook it around, but they didn't.
Rick doesn't 3ven know his colors. That one horse was a dark dun not a steel gray and yes the stallion is a buckskin. Couldn't even tell that it was a band of mares coming down, where did he think the foal, proper name for a baby horse that the sex has not been announced yet. Your damn whining gets too damn annoying, I had to turn off the video.
@@hollieeller2379 then why do you watch? Just go away
@@heatherconte5445 how can you believe all the bs?!?! Plus all the sexists comments he makes about women?!?
This isn't the African prairies, horses don't grab them by the neck and shake them around....lmfao
@@deefos1356 YES WILD STALLIONS DO! I have watched videos of stallion HORSES doing this. It is rare, but it is done.
Those who think these stallions wanted to kill the foal, probably never have they seen a horse eliminate "threat".
yeah. I have a shire who tears through steel fences when wild turkeys or coyote go near her herd. She moved an entire 80ft section once. She aint playing with threat. Her hooves are the size of a typical round shovel.
I was just thinking it has been about a year since Mr. T passed, RIP Mr. T.
I love the colour of that foal. I also enjoy the fact that all those mustangs look healthy and well fed.
And she's keeping her eye on her baby too all at the same time
Great video! Missing Mr. T with you and the rest of your fans. Hugs.
I’ve seen the clip before but you make it so much more enjoyable when you teach us the horses body language.
What a great mama horse. She literally just gave birth and then fought like crazy to keep those bachelors at bay.
She didn't just give birth, there was no after birth hanging down, baby was completely dry and once it stood up it was steady on its feet
People need to stop humanizing animals. Do I believe my dog is part of the family, of course, do I think he thinks like I do, absolutely not. Animals run on instinct, you can train them and love them but at the end of the day it is instinct and self preservation. So fucking irritating when people want to push the ideals on the animal kingdom. I said what I said.
PS yelling no or stop at wild animals is beyond stupid, they aren't going to listen to you....
Every herd animal has their own rules!! Buffalo herds are different than than horse herds Elk herds are different the Wildbeast herds are different and Zebra herds are different!! Even predator herds are different!! The wolf pack operates different from a hyena pack, the lion pride operates different!! I think it’s amazing how each herd whether it’s a prey animal or a predator animal! Each herd operates on different rules!! Even though horses and zebra are related to each other their herd rules are very different!!
Rick, I remember every birthday and every DOD of my Beagles, Labs, Spaniels, it is all burned into my soul. I hope that I can see my long gone friends again.
GREAT video Rick!
I am Missing Mr T! I can't believe it's been a year!
I still cry over my past dogs! I lost my last dog in July.
I just don't know if I can get another .. it's so so painful! Many factors are involved in getting a new pet & everyone says that I think too much! (time, money, my health etc is not thinking too much!!!)
Sending you love because I know!
Hi and a prayer for Mr T ! I know you've left the video up Rick but I can't bring myself to watch it again yet, I'm a little too emotional when losing one of my animals and I really felt for you that day!
Great video! Those voices you make Rick!🤣
Oh wow time sure flies. Can not believe it's a yr already. Rip Mr T.. Hugs Rick
Rick, I have seen this video before and I also don't think the stallions were trying to kill the baby. The mare was extremely protective of her foal. I was amazed at the amount of energy she exuded after having the baby. Life is precious and beautiful
I almost think the first stallion with the star on his forehead is the father of that foal. He seems more curious than anything. That mare is a good mother. She’s very protective. She’s gonna be in heat in 10 days after having that baby, so it’s smart for the stallion to try to steal her now if that’s what they’re doing.
Worst thing that ever happened to horses was men moving on to cars and motorcycles. That left horses to be taken over by women who insist on treating horses as if they are Yorkie-Poos.🐩 And they are NOT. 🐎
*Horse* stallions won't try to kill a baby that isn't theirs, but male *zebras* absolutely will. I guess someone saw a documentary on wildlife of the African Savannah, and thought all animals with the same general body shape act the same.
I do know that zebra stallions will definitely kill foals that are not theirs. I'm not BS-ing either. A quick google search will tell you. Maybe thats what people are thinking. But, I appreciate you keeping it real Rick!
Oh my God you actually reviewed this! Thank you!
I knew the video. I never thought that the stallions would try to kill the foal. I only admired the mare how she kept the stallions away. All of them.
What a way to come into the world! Poor little baby 😄. I don't see how anyone can say that the stallions are trying to kill the baby. Maybe each other if possible.
Good momma, good stallions, they're all good boy's and girls.
RIP Mr.T 🌈🕊️
We miss ya.
Good boy!
I love when you argue with yourself, it’s too funny.
Very informative Rick! Loved and watched all 42 minutes of it.
Animals are NOT PEOPLE , people!
This is like watching a dysfunctional family at Christmas time...so chaotic 😂
Those were young stallions wanting to see what’s going on and trying to impress the mother for mating, that’s why the stallions fight later on.The mother stops when the mares come in because she feels safe. Thanks 🤠
The buck skin could be her stallion. I know from friends that have been around wild horses that stallions don't kill offspring of other stallions very often because mares will leave.
That horse is either bay or dun
It sad you have to go frame by frame to explain it to people it's just common sense... I love the way that Mama was kicking the stink out of those too other horses ( we call this bad day, lol😅)
Shoot, Rick! Sometimes it takes 30 years for a human to be able to take care of itself 😬😂🤣 15:04 oh! And the baby rolling down the hill! 🤣🤣🤣
From my understanding, the herd that comes running in that has the other foal, is actually her herd coming in to see what the commotion is.
That's a heck of a birthday for the little foal. Poor mom cant even relax with her new baby.
I hope you have plenty of mares in horse heaven, Mr. T! 🐎
Honestly, I've only heard of Zebra stallions killing foals just because
He is protecting the mother and the baby I can see that
Great Video!
Buddy, MrT, Ransom, Smokey and Stewie you are all good boys! ❤️
Great video !! Really enjoyed !! You were spot on with your play by play !! MoM & baby doing great !! That's Great !! Great looking stallions !!!
Loving 💕and remembering majestic..magic Mr T !! 💕🐴💕👌💯%Always !! The Best ..Mr T !!!
Thanks for sharing !!!
This is prime example of horse behavior, you don’t want to get into the middle of it
I got the clear impression when the stallion smelled the baby he was ready to claim it and mare, "this is my new herd!" Would love to see Rick raise another baby like he did Buddy! So many good lessons that would be! Great video Rick!
Has it really been a year! Wow, again sorry for your loss Rick! Mr. T is remembered! 🐎
If they were so scared for the foal, why didn't they save it?
BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED FOR THEMSELVES!!!!!
Plus, the foal is not in danger.
Mom is protection, dad is there, and the stallions are not trying to hurt them.
Thank you, Rick! This was so educational and informative. I loved it.
Thought I'd comment on this video since I had watched this video before. I didn't even realize the fact that those young stallions were trying to kill that foal! pfft, cause they're not?? What I saw when I watched this video was, of course, the mama being a good mama and protecting her baby. The stallions I'm sure were curious and were trying to take the mom, not take but you get it. Poor mama out there fighting for her foal like the badass she is. Wonderful video IMO.
I see the mom encouraging her foal to get up between her trying to keep the bachelor away. And yes, the one stallion was coming up to see what the situation was and came in and took over trying to keep that curious young boy away. The Mom has not paid much attention to the boy, but on the foal to encourage it to get up.
Keeping me hopping today, watching between getting my garden planted.
Loving all the uploads today!! Thanks, Rick 😊
Mom was super serious about her kicks. 😯
Great educational video.
That foal deserves some pillows and a nap after that!
For sure mom is going toe to toe right after giving birth?! I managed to conquer my jello that day, it didn’t fight much tho.
There ain't none of them trying to kill the baby I mean the one horse is wanting the mother horse but that's all there is there to see
WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN A WHOLE YRS SINCE MR T PASSED. EVERY NLACK /DARK BROWN 🐎 I THINK ABOUT HIM. HE'S STILL MY WALLPAPER. BUDDY , MR.T UR GOOD BOYS. MOKIE, STUWIE, BELLE,RANSOM, & DONKEYS, UR ALL GOOD 2.
🐎 HAVE MORE COMMON SENSE THAN MOST HUMANS. WOULD'VE BEEN NICE 2 C LITTLE TANNER'S. (I KNOW HE WAS 2 YOUNG)
This is the exact reason why I love watching your videos Rick. You go frame by frame and explain, and you put knowledge over feelings. Thank you.
I absolutely love your herd behavior videos they are some of my favorites!
Ppl, these are wild horses. They have two dominant horse. The main one is the stallion. The second one is a mare. It is like this in every wild life base.
Theres a documentary out there where there was a deformed baby (it wasent able to stand for past the period they are supposed to even on the far end of the period they are supposed to stand) a stallion came by and killed it after the mom eventually gave up
The only time I’ve heard males killing the young of another are Lions once they overtake the Pride leader. They do it for two reasons, one to get the lioness to go into heat again and to pass on the new lineage of the new Pride leader(s). But besides that I’ve only heard that stallions kill because of reasons you said. Even other spices will do that, ( like wolves other predators and even other flight animals ) if the young are sick.
I saw a zebra stallion kill a baby before, but not a horse.
Feral cats do too..
Storks will kill the smallest chick in brutal ways, food scarcity or they just don't feel like feeding that many mouths.
When lions do that and drive away the young males, same as stallions do, leads to the natural conclusion that they must eventually mate with their daughters
Pet fish are quite infamous for eating their babies because they know that the shitty fish bowls they’re kept in are too small for all of them.
Rick I love you LOL, you don't sugar coat anything. I've been learning from you for months now and I can actually get your questions right LOL. The woman in the back ground is hilarious. Participation trophies had me in stitches. 🤣🤣
I love your wild horse behavior videos, they put me in my happy place, even though you have done this video before but I don’t care I could watch it a thousand times just happy, happy, happy now even though I’m at work. Thanks Rick, please do more wild stallion behavior videos! Your insights on wild horse behavior has been my best tool on domestic horse behavior
I love this channel because you do not humanize animals. It was supper cool to see horses in the wild like that.
Every horse around knows what that Mare will do. This isn’t about the Mare, this is about aggressive males.
Very interesting breakdown of that video. Thanks, Rick.
And RIP to Mr T. He was a good boy.
Always loved this video! I remember when you first talked about this years ago!
Why does he assume the woman is talking to the horse? Does he believe that she believes the horse can speak English?
Excellent presentation thank you 🐓
Hi Rick, great video,thank you
We took care of a horse who hated being turned in at night. He was a jerk and massive,being he was a Clydesdale, and he wanted to decide when to go. If he was being bad my 5 foot ass made him do what I wanted. Horses are brilliant but you have to be firm anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. Very good to see someone explain horses correctly. Its pretty hard to hurt a stallion when you're weak but never forget you have to watch and learn to read your animal.
Tell that woman to STFU and let nature be what it is 🤦♀️
This vid is a mustang tribute to Mr T. The strength, beauty, smarts & integrity of the mustang. We love & miss you Mr T♥️🐎
Great lesson! for those of us who can't learn horse behavior by living with them and watching their interactions, you are a goldmine! Thank you!!!!
those stallions def werent trying to kill that foal iv seen zebra kill foals and it happens very fast
Excellent breakdown, thank you
Wow I haven't seen that many blows since Clinton and Lewinsky were in the oval Office 😄😄😄
Thank you for telling these idiots the truth!! You are right about all of it none of these young stallions are trying to kill the baby. If they wanted to kill it they could have!!! I have been around horses all of my life and you have to watch and pay attention!! You have my respect man?! This is the first time I have listened to you and you tell it like it is and you know horses!! You have my respect!!!
No if he wanted to hurt that baby he could hurt it no matter what the Mama tried to do
The lighter buckskin that was constantly fighting with the other one is the stallion, thats why hes reacting to the bay and fighting when they go after the mama. Though the mare did occasionally go after him, I think since she had just given birth she was just going after anyone that got near her baby since mother horses are typically extremely protective of their young. But as seen at the end of the video the buckskin is in fact the stallion, hence the mares following after him.
Even if she was stronger than the stallion, she just gave birth so she couldn't fight off any other horse, I agree with almost everything this person is saying.
Thanks for the critique on this video. I really enjoyed it and had a good laugh! I must be getting better at reading horse behavior thanks to you, Rick! I saw what you saw and I am in agreement. If a big burly stallion wanted to kill the foal he would have rushed in grabbed it by its neck giving it a good swing to break its neck or else a death kick. I liked the story of Mr. T stepping on your foot when getting way from you. I still miss Mr. T and think about him. I think he would have liked hanging out with Ransom. But if he were still alive Ransom would still be standing alone by himself in the field where he was at watching the vehicles go by on the road. That's life I suppose.
Your end comment------'Mr. T would have protected that baby.......' Yep! Remember when you were sneaking up on Mr. T and the little one became scared? .............Mr. T was going to take you out! He was not playing.
That’s why male birds are much brighter than the female so they can enchant a mate
The baby is probably like “shit, I’m going back!” 😅
You crack me up Rick , your so passionate narrating through the video , and that is defiantly a beautiful baby horse , I love its coloring !! Thanks Rick for sharing your knowledge of horses with us ! God bless ❤️🙏✝️🙋🏻
