- #thinklikeahorse #ItIsNeverTheHorsesFault Here is a young horse doing what I see as learning and threatening behavior to a HUMAN and is learning lessons. Are the lessons Good or Bad - It Depends, I think a little of both... Ying and yang.

Mom horse: "Thank goodness. Here comes that stupid human with the camera. Go on over there boy and show them who's boss. I need some 'me' time."
Colt (after he falls and scrambles back up): "Uh, yeah, I meant to do that. Fear me, human! FEAR ME!!!!"

Thanks! Glad you liked it!
This video plus your comment gave my morning a great start XD
Thank you!

Mules are such funny animals xD
I have a particular fondness for mules. Wise animals.
OH MY WORD... that was adorable... makes a day better!
Awwww..he is just playing...just working it all out...adorable
Rick, I find your videos very informative~ ever since I was a young girl, I loved horses and I still dream of owning one in the future.I am taking your lessons to heart in hopes of being a good caretaker ~
Awwww that little colt is adorable I'd definitely say mule from the ears
This is just to cute. Little mule showing off 😂
So cute, does look like a little mule foal. Always love little foal dancing. Also love little goat kid dancing. :)
lol that colt is like ''Im a big boy now''
What a cutie I am sure mama doesn't appreciate his showing off LOL It's like she glances at him when he falls and thinks god that came out of me are they sure they didn't swap my foals at birth . So gorgeous a real little character 😊
Lol exactly! What is hilarious is that I have seen her exasperated look and demeanor on the faces of many human mothers! I think she is hoping he will stay out of her hair so that she can finish eating!
+aleister crowley So we can imagine what that poor mare is thinking LOL😁
Those ears are the cutest thing, they're huge !
My wife calls me a mule all the time so I can empathize with this little guy! (jk -- maybe once or twice, and I think I deserved it) Watching him trying to control those long, long legs is just adorable -- and his wipe out at 0:45 had me totally lmao -- I know just how he feels when he jumps back up, looks at the camera person, and is like "See! I just showed you what a tough guy I am and what a tough fake fall I can do!! You thought I reeaaally fell?! Silly human! That was all part of my demonstration!" Thanks for another cool video and commentary Rick. I have never worked with a very young, not-at-all trained horse (or mule for that matter) and neither has my wife so your comments are very interesting. Seriously you make our day when you post new videos -- your commentaries and/or your videos of just the boys enjoying their beautiful home in Texas. Your recent video of your rolling on the ground demonstration "scaring" the boys had my wife (and me) dying w/laughter -- not to mention that it was fascinating to see the boys react together as a "team" and individually. Thanks again Rick!
I laughing how they have named the video on top Dancing baby mule. The only dancing this little cutie pie wants to do is a hi ho silver kick on there butt. Lol.😂
That's the definition of cute! However, it won't be cute if he does that when he's all grown up 😕
2:18 The "I meant to do that" look of embarrassment 😂
Love the sounds he makes x) such a little cutie
Just found your channel, and I can't stop watching. 1000 thumbs up
I have a friend who is raising her Tennessee Walking Horse colt. He loves thinking he's big and bad. She had her four year old out there with her one day as she was feeding. The colt decided to be big and bad. Around this time, he was around six or seven months and had already been weaned because of how big he was and how he was sucking all the fat off Mom. My friend, who is big on natural horsemanship, turned her butt to him and kicked him like a mother horse would. That colt didn't know what to think of that! She "made up" with him later, but he quit turning his butt to her after that.
What a little cutie that baby is ... fun to watch his horseplay.
Gorgeous baby mule!
2:19 when you step onto a wood floor wearing fuzzy socks
Love the baby...just wish he was in a pasture with mom and other horses
Looks like he/she is learning his/her body. Too cute
To me he looks like a mule
What a little vamp:) Can't watch without smiling:)
Baby horse just showing out xD
It s a healthy little horse. Happy and feeling good
I love your laugh, it's so infectious.
😄Awesome & very cute li'l colt.
He's definitely a mule, those ears are huge xD I liked when he slipped lol "You didn't see that >.>"
Those ears!!
I think he's just feeling his oats, kind of like kittens when they go down the hallway sideways.
My Uncle had a colt about that age and it did the same thing as this colt did except when he slipped and fell he severed a tendon in his ankle on the barbed wire fence.........Sad day. Couldn't be repaired. He was the last colt from a mare that was pushing 30 years old....who eventually passed away at 33.
What a cute little guy.
Showing his oats??? Don't u mean sowing his oats? Lol
That's one funny Mare!! Hahaha
Awww a little mule! bless him.
Lol that slip
Mules are the cutest things ever.
I know he's being a little fresh ass,But I love him!!!❤
Awww cute little half-assed spaz:)
A little mule... very cute.
Its a mule foal for those of you that cant tell the diforence betwen a mule and a horse
Mare's like. "Sorry, his dad's a real jackass." XD
That would explain the ears.
Just makes this foal even more cute with those ears.
Very cute!!! Herd leader in training!
seen this behaviour a million times as all my horses i have had from under a year old and all colts(now geldings) and it is sweet and funny but yes i have had to front up and stand tall everytime they did this, it actually carries on for quite a while and every now and again they will see if they can get above you in the pecking order and it just takes the human to front up and back them up in a dominant and confident manner (above all respectful) to solve this, all my boys are older now and still miss this innocent colt learning behaviour ;)
That foal is so cute
I lost it when he fell!
Stinking cute and seriously bad assssss. ...Buddy...Mr T...Rick you are THE BEST 💙 💙 💙
I'd bet my shirt that that's a mule, because ears! And that she is a filly - no sign of "outdoor plumbing".
This little guy is too funny! Poke him in the butt :P
A foaly-tantrum? :D My toddlers do the same ... but they got shorter ears and less fur.
He's a baby playing and learning. he's do cute.
I would love to see Mr. T with little guy. Just sooooo cute! :)
I LUV HIS EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!HES SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the video! Would you put pressure back on him when he pushes the butt towards you? Would you move him out, or just let him be a "baby"? How would you correct this?
i was wondering the same thing do you need to correct him or is this just normal behavior which you dont need to correct (sorry for my grammar)
I let babies test and explore, I don't like beating or pushing the playfulness from babies, I know I have a good two years to correct and get him under control, unless he gets close enough to hit me he can act like a badass all day from a distance. If it gets to be a habit and he gets ear pinning all the time then maybe step in and show him, but kids got to kids and foals need to be foals.. it is a give a take and reading along the way, knowing when and how much to step in without crushing his confidence and growth... it is a process NOT an event.
Very well said, don't break this fine young colt's spirit:)
you'll not EARN his respect by acting like a predator.
Caliekat15 🇸🇱🇸🇨🇵🇾
it like when little kids karate fight....too cute
Cute in a little baby - not cute if he keeps it up when he gets old.
I see the same problem in dogs - people think it's cute when a little puppy growls and gets "mouthy" with them, then wonder why the cute 8 week old pup is biting people when he's 18 months. And then the dog makes a one-way trip to the vets because its turned into a serious biter.
This mule colt can kick up his heels all he wants on his own but if he started getting pushy with me I'd carry a light knotted rope and pinwheel it at him and lightly smack him with it to let him know he ain't the only one who can get pushy, I'm a tougher "horse" than he is, can defend myself, so respect me and keep your distance when I'm around.
Won't hurt him but will teach him some manners, not unlike when an older horse nips at a young one to put him in his place. The rope is the "nip" and I'm that older horse.
He's playing with a rock. You know, like a puppy plays with a ball. Puppies can growl all they want to with their toys. It doesn't m mean they're being mouthy with people.
Darling and Mom did look up when she heard Jr. fall.
This is so Gods damn adorable
A confident little buggaroo that will do nice with a firm, hands on handler I think! Would there be a behaviorally healthy way to engage in a more rough and tumble play with the foal in a way that teaches it respect ( no hooves or teeth, if he steps boundaries the play stops, much like handling an eager puppy) as well as asserts your place in the herd?
I think he was saying let my mom and i go run around for the day
That's a MULE colt!!
he just having fun little baby
thanks for the vid rick!
I think he's playing
it's a lone youngling, thus he has no other younglings to play around with to learn what rick talked about so he does it with humans...which does not yield the same results and learning experience if it were done with other foals so it's a half job...and then produces a lot of grown up horses who are "disrespectful" (oh how i dislike that word) because it is what it was normal for them to push around humans...
but hey stupid people teach the lesson that they are stupid so you can do anything to them :D good vid
Even if he hasn't got other babies to learn from, he'll learn from mom. The animal behavior 'glitches' happen when they have NONE of their own species to teach them ( bottle fed dog puppies come to mind )
so you think it can learn a full heard (a dozen or more) horses social behaviour from just mom? horses are meant to have a complex herd social structure and without it the coungsters can't learn what it means to challange 50times a day, and to look for fun yet useful ways to explore and learn...
Do you think that the foal would like to play with Buddy?
a foal being a foal
oh good grief dude, he's playing and learning.
Sassy britches! Get that energy flowing in the right direction and that baby will shine for someone.
He's a wild child.He needs to learn his place in a pack.
1st it's a mule baby he's just playing having fun
It is in your discussion tab on your youtube (think like a horse).
He or she is a mule. I seen this video and posted it to you on your youtube page thinking you may like this video being an equine just being an equine. Thought that you would enjoy such a cute video. To me he or she was just playing around. Loved how it showed beautiful natural playful behavior.
Dancing pretty, lol.
Ok I was always told that was bratty behavior and if I was wrong then I have learned something new I have been watching your videos for education because a friend of mine is getting two horses about this age maybe a little older and I wanted to learn more about horse behavior so that I could help her with training and I could use all the education I can get
Very cute! But just from the title on the video ("Dancing Mule") I'm infering that the video maker has no clue about reading the foal's behavior: s/he thinks it's a dance performance. Yeah, it's cute, but wait till this baby grows to 1000 lbs or more and continues this behavior.
Talk about showing his butt, lol.
Such a cute little Mule! I'm thinking that maybe he/she had some troubles in the recent past. It looked to me like there was a part of his neck shaved where they commonly give IV's to foals if their IGG counts are low or they have other issues. Perhaps this one has been handled a LOT when he wasn't feeling so hot and for that reason has not learned respect or boundaries (yet) and is just feeling good.
Just my 2 cents!
yep! he wants to show dominance. somebody needs to start working with him soon or...
He's playing with a rock.
How can you assign meaning to this baby. He's playing and pretending, fighting windmills
Hey rick, i was wondering if you could post horse riding techniques, also for western saddle i'm learning how to ride a horse while its trotting and i find it really hard to do things all at once, also another video idea is what horse you should look for when you go to buy one.
It's a baby mule you see it in the corner😊😋
Well, how stinkin' cute was that? :)
Pretty spirited little guy.
He's so cute!
Hey Rick! Great video as usual. Speaking of Animal behavior i was wondering if you are going to do a review of the footage of the Harambe shooting event that happened recently. I know it's a totally different species but I think I saw a lot of pressure release shown by the gorilla towards the child that was misinterpreted as violence by the humans when it wasn't. I guess it also can fall in line with your gun videos since it involves guns lol. Just wanted to see what you thought of the stupid humans in the video. Thanks!
How old is this little foal? a few days at best. I think he's just trying to co-ordinate the use of his legs and work out what he's capable of, far too young to be showing aggression, but would agree that he may have a bit odd of infection that needs looking at. Cute little thing.
So cute! I love cocky foals!
He needs imprinting ~ Barnwitch
It's a mule colt and young mules in the pasture wiil get very rowdy. That baby needs that social interaction to develop proper social responses.Raise em alone and YOU have to do it all.
A pity he's in such a small yard and with only his mum to play with.
If his current behaviour isn't addressed he's going to be a nightmare when he gets bigger.
There is a open gate to a bitter grass pasture. At least these people don't have a damn halter on it.
good point
Rick, that is a MULE, not a horse.
He is sweet.
i wonder what will happen if you put him with buddy n mrt
to me, it looks like he is playing with that white rock on the ground. he is pouncing on it, stomping on it & digging it, his head is low because he is looking for/at the rock he is playing with. just my observations & thoughts
I totally agree
hahaha he is so full of himself
😭😭😭😭😭😭
that horse does look like it's part mule
A mule is a cross between a male donkey and a female horse. There's no such thing as part mule. And this baby is a mule, not a horse.
So a male horse can't have foals with a female donkey?
Yes, they can, but their offspring isn't called a mule. It's called a hinny.
I don't think I've ever heard of the term, probably people get the two confused all the time, is there any real difference in appearance or temperament? Thanks for replying by the way.
TheBarkinFrog Maybe you can answer a question for me then that even a vet couldn't. Do male mules need to be gelded? I know they're not fertile, but are they like regukar stallions in behavior?
