Every video, so educational and totally entertaining.
Who else likes the sound of pounding hooves?🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
Since I was 2-3 years, I had donkey-ears, after the sound of hoofs when our neighbor daughter came home, with her horse.
Thank God, my mum encouraged me, and took me in, next door, to SIT ON THE HORSE..!!
The smell of their nostrils, though, -smells like tea -favorite SMELL..!!
Rick, your videos are so educational and I love your passion for teaching others how to act around horses and how to see things with a critical eye. I’ve never had a horse of my own but before I starting watching your videos I took English riding lessons and I thought it was just fine to use bits and tie downs and all that other junk. I used to believe every thing anyone told me to believe about horses. Now I ride western in just a rope halter. No bits, no tie downs, no pain. Thank you so much for making horses lives better, we need more people like you on this earth.
Brown mare: "Hey! Pay attention to me!"
Stallion: "nah. Go away"
Brown mare: "LOOK AT MEEE!!"
Stallion: "okay"
Brown mare: "Did I tell you that you can come in? Go away.........Wait.. no.. pay attention to me!!"
Legit alot of teenage girls XD
"Horsey down on aisle four" 😂
Learned more watching 20 of your videos than 20 years growing up around horses. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Glad to help
Great video Rick! Very educational! Love that sassy bay! I have a sassy bay mare and she is awesome! I love when she and my bay gelding go running around. Gelding throws bucks, mare throws bucks back, gelding is older and chases her around, they both roll, go eat hay, ore running and more bucking. It's awesome watching them interact. Love your horse behaviour videos.
Now i get your halter thing completely. Even if you’re just turning out and standing right there watching, halters off
Ponies in the yard.... My dream house lol
Rick, your love and knowledge for horses is very apparent. Really enjoy your commentary and videos.
That is SO true( about what you said about barm witches flipping out saying they are being mean to each other, then going out separating them) a friend of mine goes to a barn where as soon as the horses start playing( running, kicking out) "Having fun") they run out and automatically seperate , bring them in. They dont want people who come to the barn to think that the horses are being aggressive. In my book the horses should be left to have fun etc and " THE PEOPLE" need to be educated.
Great little video, thank you for sharing:)
10:19
"There's some barn witch out there parking her broom right now"
Omg Im so done hahaha....funny little shit. Ok---just had to stop and point this moment out, back to the video!
As a mother whose firstborn was a ten-pounder, if I were that brown mare, I wouldn't want to have that big belgian's foals, nosiree!
Those colts are so darn cuuute!
They are like... Daddy’s home, we better straighten up! 😄
You brought up the topic of halters 7 times and I completely agree with you
Hanna Fardew: I stopped counting the second time...
"I can't stay out here and play powder puff with you all day!" 😂😂😂
16:22 Stallion - "Ok kids, time for class!"
Take a shot every time Rick mentions halters
"cuz I know there"s some Barn witch out there parking her broom!" OMG you are sooo funny
seeing our horses play like this is pure joy
Not only does the horse have a halter on, but it is real loose...........easy to catch a hoof in.
MR T emailed me. He said, "I wish my dad would get me a mare". I told him I would comment on a video and ask. Can Mr. T have a mare?
. 😂🐴🍎🍉
I am canceling his acct, NO
Oh no! I got Mr. T in BIG TROUBLE with his email account! Thanks for the laughs and good videos. Going to your gun channel now. 😂🐴
Lmao that's too funny 🤣🤣🤣
They're not being bad or mean, they're playing. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside.
Great video! When you upload it makes my day a little better
I keep taking the halters off because I don’t want it to rub a raw spot on them but my husband keeps telling me I need to leave them on. I’m glad I watched your video, your reasons are way more risks than I knew could happen
Drinking game, take a shot every time Rick say "Damn halters"
lol to cute. I'm with you. I hate seeing halters on horses that are left out in pasture.
Didn't notice it until the very end, but that other, calm palamino is actually an older gelding. Apparently the bay is the only mare.
Horse women: I gotta imprint it! Put a halter on it! Teach it how to walk through water!
Rabbit women: I gotta shove it in my bra and post cleavage pics of myself nursing it on a baby bottle!
Fair warning, don't get into rabbits...
HOLY shit they sound worse than horse people
Rick, I love watching your horse/herd behavior videos. I find them to be very educational (and also quite hilarious). While I have never owned a horse, I do currently volunteer at a barn where they use horses for therapeutic riding. Since I work with the horses on the ground, I keep your information and experience in mind and I watch the horse's body language. Honestly, knowing how horses communicate has kept me safer than any pretty pink helmet that those barn witches toute! Thank you so much for posting these educational videos! Also, say "hi" to Mr. T and Buddy for me!
Speaking of taking off halters, I was visiting friends over the holidays and they had two Labradors, a four month old and a six month old. Just as I was being told that the older dog beats up on the younger one we heard this crazy commotion from outside. They had been playing and the larger Lab had his bottom jaw caught in the smaller dog's collar and it had twisted. It was so tight we couldn't disengage the plastic snap buckle and the owner had to cut the collar off with a knife while we held the bigger dog still, he was panicking and thrashing, the smaller dog ... looked dead, his tongue was purple and his eyes were bloodshot and I don't think he was breathing. Finally got the collar off without cutting the dog, thankfully and within thirty minutes both dogs were acting normal again. Pretty scary situation and maybe a lesson learned about not leaving collars on dogs when they're out playing either.
Well if that's your logic - think about this - what if they got loose and picked up by AC???? Without tags (unless) they're microchipped - that's a death sentence right there for the dogs. AC stray hold is 5 days. They WILL NOT adopt out the adult dogs.
I was waiting for this comment, seriously it's like $40 at least at my vet, to microchip, and all shelters scan dogs upon entry.
My dog has a loose collar and it comes undone if it gets stuck on things. I can't tell you how many times she's slipped out of her collar randomly if she just doesn't want to wear it! Lol.
The reason why she wears a collar is because she likes to take herself for walks. There's no stopping her either. She doesn't run away, she just likes to explore by herself.
And, not everyone who finds a dog without a collar takes them to the vet to get checked. Some just take them straight home and there's no getting them back then.
My dog can also slip out of his because it's loose, he is well contained however and we used to have dogs who got out sometimes WITH collars and tags and people would find them and try to keep them, we had to go out and find the dog ourselves and take the dog back. So the tags didn't help at that point, those people made no effort to contact us.
+Kristen Slice animal control doesn't return dogs Chip or no chip tags or no tags. it's the owner or caregiver to come and pick up the dog. they don't have to contact said owner. I have seen boxes of collars being tossed in the dumpster. I worked 2 summers checking dog licenses and have actually believe that myth that it's animal control officer duty to pickup their wayward "child"!
yours and this woman's commentary is true gold ohmy
I’m certainly one of the softer females in the horse community and I seriously can’t get enough of your banter. The people that feel disrespected by your comments are simply insecure. Thanks for the entertainment and helpful perspectives.
You're defiantly right about horses watching. I was round penning the lead mare once and the other two at the barn just stood there watching me the whole time.
I think the way they are saying "he wants to kill em" they are just kinda joking around..... they don't sound worried or scared.
when my friend first saw this video he threw all his web halters away, bought good rope halters and never left halters on in the pasture again.
horses 1 halters 0
The halter thing really happened in a documentary called Unbranded.
The horse reached up to scratch his face and got his hoof caught in the halter and almost killed itself.
Sadly one of the fillies in a group of young thoroughbreds we taught to be ridden 40 years ago had the same exact situation occur. This AFTER we told the owner & his daughter to NEVER leave a halter on their gorgeous bay filly. They did not listen to me & sadly the filly when scratching behind her ears caught her hind hoof in webbing of halter & broke her neck!!! Most awful thing we have ever heard of. We NEVER have left halters on any horse unless we`re actually teaching them to lead & be handled.Of all the many thoroughbreds we have worked with, young or old ,stallions or mares, we have never had a problem having them come to us.
My brother in law has 2 horses.Not only halters r dangerous, but he was called out by a construction worker who seen the younger horse underneath the bigger horse with his left hind hoof tangled in the bigger horse's mane!!!!!! My brother ran quickly and cut the horse's mane and freed the younger horse!!!!!! Thank God, the bigger horse never moved!!!!!!! Gotta keep your eyes on them all the time!!!!!Just like children!!!!!!!!
Garland Davis
So TRUE !!! They as children :
TRUST you, BELIEVE in you , GANGSTER you :)))
Very cute horsey play. I would put up a different fence tho.
Janes Dough I agree! Some of it looks like temporary fencing, with a couple
T-poles thrown in... And it's very low also 😑😑
What a gorgeous property and a fun video. One of the things I love most is when you're enjoying the video yourself Rick, laughing and such. I would like to see this video beginning to end with no stops, because you made it so educational and enjoyable. I like to see if I can see what you do as I learn.
Rick, commonsense says to take off the halters. But commonsense isn’t common.
Common sense is a freakin' super power nowadays!
tyrroo Right
Agreed!
Watching this in my fuzzy pink blanket. 👀
Mine is white and red.
S. K... I got my pink coffee cup 😆
LOL, none of you better have a halter on.
Reminds me of a game of tag that kids do, but, instead of tagging with hands, they use mouth.
Saw this vid a few days ago. Its good to hear your opinion. It helps
to learn it right. THANKS!
My kind of soap opera. The young and the restless. There's always something going on.
Good video rick, I like your sense of humour 😂 barn witch parking her broom
"Barnwitch" love it!
I'll never understand people that crop or braid a horses tail. Horses use those tails for multiple reasons and one of the most important being, to keep insects off their body.
i’m with you dude, take the halters off. I would have to catch 12 horses out in pasture every morning and none of them had halters on.
The palomino horses are both boys. Thanks for the education on herd behavior. You are so right for the people to take the …. halters O F F. !!!!!!!
I love just watching horses in pasture it's so relaxing
I enjoyed the video and your teaching.
Blonds have all the fun LOL
I can't believe some people see all this behavior as aggressive! Yes horses slip and fall and especially foals running fast on what appears to be wet grass!! Watch human kids run and chase on wet grass and usually at least one of them will fall!! And they don't get hurt either!!! Young horses like young children just seem to shake it off and keep going!!! I think they are all SO CUTE!!
Eh Rick, you need to make a video on *Fallon Taylor* before her channel becomes so large and thousands of people begin to look up to her.
She does barrel racing,vlogs, obviously is is hardcore trying to make $$$ of of all this crap...
Raleigh made a video and that's good exposure, but...as always...
*WE need Rick as well*
Haha you were relentless with the barnwitch jokes in this one. Good vid rick, thanks
😂Nice herd and behavior
What a great video!..........learning how to read between the lines! Btw! How do you REALLY feel about halters! lol!
“Barn witches” 🤣 👍
Hey, Rick, I was surprised you never said anything about those halters... Oops, I noticed a twig on the other Palomino too. That little filly was flirting with her “stud.”
Fantastic breakdown, Rick.
Great video. I just wish Rick would have said something about NOT having halters on horses.
Rick - both Palominos are male. Both are geldings. At the beginning of the video, she comments about the one rolling being an "old man." If you read their description they write, " 17yr old Belgian gelding"
Rick is my spirit animal! 💙
All I remember is Heidi,lying in the yard,me lying on her neck reading and Sammy the squirrel on My Stomach.Thank You Mr.Rick,for giving my memories back.The Good things I did and the Wrong.(at,ct.How I Miss my Life.
I see his twig but I don't see the berries 😁😁😁
Should people take halters off the horse 🐴 when it is in the pasture?
Roy Spaulding.... hmmmm let me think 🤔
Yes I believe I heard a wise man say that one time lol 😆
Roy Spaulding I think rick may have hinted to wither it's a good idea or not but the hint was very subtle. I recommend asking your local barn witch for help.
I saw a horse tear half his face off getting caught on a round bale cage BECAUSE he had a nylon halter on that wouldn't break to set him free from the hangup. He was the sweetest guy, completely bomb proof and it broke my heart to see him get hurt so badly because through no fault of his own, he got hung up and took over 6 months to just to heal the horrific physical wounds he sustained. We couldn't ride him for over a year because his face sustained so much damage, not to mention the muscle memory we had to overcome resulting from his fear of wearing anything on his head. We took our time and let him come around, but it was a damned shame it happened in the first place.
really cute at 10:20 when the baby human squeals and the young horses turn to look.
Rick, so are you saying a female should ignore the male to get his attention or is it best to act all crazy? 🤪😊😘🤔
it depends. :)
Should’ve known that’s what you would say lol 😊
I agree with the way you see horses, I "think like a horse" too, after watching horses, and working with horses who had human problems...
Frederikke Løvschal: After about a month of viewing, some things just started to stand out. It was so gratifying to hear Rick point out what I thought I had just seen-- horses' behavior, or some kind of problem-- only seconds before.
Mad Belgium? Maybe because he seems to be a Belgian Draft Horse/ Brabander? The tails used to be surgicaly removed as they were seen to be unpractical during the work on the field. It is forbidden now here in Belgium, thank God!
My mare runs my gelding around all day, until.... if a security issue pops up,, he's in charge immediately!
What a nice place! Exactly the way I’d love to have a horse set up, living where my horses are not stuffed away in a barn somewhere. Maybe one of those babies are hers?
thank you rick my horse is in a big yard in south australia i put her in the day paddock during the day have left her halter on dont know why i just go up too her she is easy too catch as a learner with horses did,nt know that thank you will not put her halter on in the paddock again
I get clothing snagged on a door handle and am snatched back harshly, then I free myself.
I agree 💯 with you about halters left on in fields or stables! 🥶
Great video I enjoyed this. Horses just playing.
The Barn Witch killed me😂
Did I mention the halters? ROFL
Omg crazy horse story for you Rick. I was paying with my mare and a couple of barn girls and their horses, doing "bribe a horse." Out of the 3 of us I was the only one that could get my horse around the barrel, so they handed a pony to me convinced I would fail. Well I got him around but on our way back he started kicking and bucking like a bronco. I got to the finish line and both girls had bailed out of the arena like champion pole vaulters. His was just playing, maybe a little upset that he hadn't gotten the mid-run snack he was used to!
agree fully on the no halters have seen what happens when it is left on and something happens
more of this type of video please!! love it!!
I love watching your videos even to this day! I don’t personally own a horse, but I take riding lessons and I make videos using schleich figures. They mostly are horses. I like making my animals act realistic and these videos help me to get an idea on how the horses act. Thank you for the wonderful information!
Amazing horses! Nice big pasture but halters.....halters.....
I don't think you mentioned to dangers of haters enough times! Lol
Although serious note... someone I knew who use to have foals every year... they stick a halter on when they 'imprinted the foal at a few hours old.. they swap out head collars as the foal grew... sometimes... but I remember one foal going feral and the head collar started to restrict his facial growth and cut into his face badly! By the time they got it off it had left a indent in his face... shocking poor colt decided after that thst he didn't want to wear a halter and or get halter broke.... who'd have guessed that would have happened! Idiots!
Great video, great commentary, thank you Rick! I took the halter off my donkey after someone told me it is dangerous. Never any problems catching her, I have problems leaving her! LOL
Iris Shalev You're so blessed to have a donkey!! ♡
Aw, thank you! Yes I am! She's an amazing creature, more like a dog than like a horse! :)
Iris Shalev That is awesome
Try putting pressure on the lead rope, then as soon as you're donkey takes one step drop the Rope. Keep this up untill he realizes he can walk with you, without getting pulled. It worked for mine
You are a riot. I agree 100% that those halters need to be off.
Big boy is beautiful.
Zena is transfixed 😍
And there is a barnwitch?
Ok.
I'll buy that👍
Rick, I may be wrong but at the very beginning of the video when the palomino is rolling, they say "not bad for an old man".... Do you think that both palominos are guy's?
could be did not check for that, maybe so. but two young babies about same age, not sure both same mom.
Yep - they bother are male. Can't tell if either is still a stallion though.
Think Like A Horse - thanks for another entertaining and informative video, Rick!
Speaking about low hot wire, I have actually seen a friend's neighbor 's horses take out a fence. and all do to " horseplay" ( rough play for those who don't know)
Did i mention to take the damn halters off? 😂😂😂😂😂 omg I died!!
The big "stallion" horse reminds me of my old-man norwegian dole, just a big meatball boss making the ground thunder :P
I love your videos you make so much sense x
I agree about the bay mare. Something you didn't mention but I noticed is that she dropped her nose to the ground partway through, and isn't really traveling with a "pushing" body language.
Nice video. Thanks 😊
I don't understand why people just can't let horses be horses
Barn witches are just as bad as those dog owners who see two dogs playing and try to fight you for letting your dog ‘attack’ theirs. They usually are the kind of dog owner who has a chihuahua or a shih-tzu and treats the dog like a baby so it snarls at everybody and refuses to eat unless they’re given designer dog food. I hate those kinds of people.
Julia Crawford best comparison ever!
You crack me up !!! Roflmao.... I talk the same way with people because truely it's how you have to be these days very blunt / straightforward.
Both of the palomino adults were geldings/stallions. You can tell by paying close attention to both.
Once again I see halters, this tells me these people are not capable of drawing their horses to them. Great video Rick
Rick, I have a serious question for you. What’s your thoughts on leaving halters on horses? Lol
Seriously wasn't u listening at all rick hates halters left on horses u need to watch all his videos and open your ears he mentioned them about 7 times in this video wow get a life
Alison Saunders seriously! I was kidding, holy crap! I’ve watched thousands of his videos, on all three channels. Wow. Everybody else got it. Get a sense of humor
With the utmost respect and sincerity, you need to learn about the art of sarcasm. Ed Mcclure is just having a laugh, that's all :)
Alison Saunders wow....you are a triggered individual that must be very lonely. You can’t see humor? You need to get out more.
