    I'm just a carpenter and only owned 1 horse myself (mom had 4 and 2 foals born on property) but, I believe your tutorials are really sinking in to my head and heart Rick. Everything you mention seems obvious to me now and weather I knew some of this before I found your video's (because of watching animals for my 53 yrs) or just incorporating your information to my library of knowledge, I feel glad and grateful for my understanding being in line w/ your experienced perspective !!
    Thanks for your generous and considerate sharing !! I watch the neighbors herds (w/ 2 new foals under 4 mo. old) everyday w/ my coffee in the morning, when I feed them baby carrots (infrequently) and at different times during the day when being active, (especially looking for active times) hoping to see more examples of behavior mentioned by you in these wonderful video's !!
    Thanks again,
    Steph_Louisiana

You help people to graduate from just "owning " to becoming a "owner" ... THANK YOU for "Educating the Uneducated" ...

    I think when he was trying to pet him, he was trying to help that foal trust him a little more before he removed the wood and freed him. But, yeah. Don't take dogs with you around horses. Not the BEST idea.. especially around WILD horses that have been harassed by a cougar for a while.

  • @ceolen1
    @ceolen1 Před 7 lety +8

    I know that stallions are in charge of their bands, but isn't it true that if trouble comes and the band has to flee, that the dominant mare will lead while the stallion takes up a defensive position in the rear? Or is that just a myth?

    • @ThinkLikeAHorse
      @ThinkLikeAHorse  Před 7 lety +16

      the stallion directs and controls the herd from the rear, the lead mare is normally in front since all the lower horses follow her.

  • @liebev1659
    @liebev1659 Před 7 lety +6

    Think that maybe the stallion was saying NO to the dam, b/c he was there and he had a dog? Looks like the stallion is trying to keep the herd from the predator (him and his dog).

    • @ThinkLikeAHorse
      @ThinkLikeAHorse  Před 7 lety +2

      If the stallion thought the dog was a threat, he would have ran over and attacked it or moved the entire herd away, but you are free to think what you want.

    Ugh it's so frustrating seeing the foal get so close and the guy not drawing the foal out. Ugh, scream.
    Even my own mare who isn't scared, when I want her to come to me instead of me "catching" her... I stand quietly and let my body language invite her in. I'll walk to her till she looks at me, then I stop and turn away, open up my body language. If that's not enough to bring her in, backing up almost always is because it's creating that draw.

    You realize these are WILD horses, right? Because a lot of you are complaining about domesticated horse issues. This foal is not familiar with these behaviors and is very stressed. Don't you dare tell me there isn't a difference! The man's voice could have scared the foal, or done the opposite, but how that horse was acting- how that WILD horse was acting- i don't think it was very soothed...

  • @susangardiner2087
    @susangardiner2087 Před 7 lety +4

    I had always thought that it was a team. The stallion run the herd and protects the herd and while the lead mare leads the other horses only when the stallion is at the back fighting off predators. But it was an old nature video and I am not sure if it was even telling the truth about horses since they left other stuff out of it.

    • @SilverScaleMA
      @SilverScaleMA Před 7 lety +1

      In general with horse herds there is a hierarchy of the females with, usually, the oldest female choosing where the herd goes. However, the stallion often chooses the speed of the herds movement and protects the herd by patrolling the border and keeping the herd together.

    People also dont get it makes SENSE for stallions to run the herd.
    Not only is it better genetically if only the fittest. Strongest. Meanest. Get the mares
    (For protection of them. Their babies. And the betterment of the gene pool)
    But its simply natural for stallions to focus on one thing and the mares on another
    It made sense when humans lived in the wild
    But now survival is about money and alot of other stuff.
    And we dont need to pump out babies because we have way longer lifespans and can do way more then we ever could before.

  • @Missing58
    @Missing58 Před 7 lety +10

    I think that people, (barn witches), don't understand the difference between a "lead mare" and being in charge of the herd. Cattle are a little different but not much. At least in my opinion.

    Why are people upset at him on this? Of course he's complaining about this I complain too! Hes trying to the message across in most of his videos that Horses are not people you can't treat them like it either. I help people with "problem horses" but every. single. time. it's something to do with the human. If you don't understand their language and aren't willing to join them in their world for a while don't get a horse and don't run you mouth when people who do understand get upset about it. Watching or hearing about people who screwing up their horse that otherwise would be a decent horse is freaking irritating and upsetting especially when they blame the horse.

    i know nothing about horses. rode a horse before, when i was a child, at a place where you rent the horse by the hour and it follows a trail along with a bunch of other horses .... it did not trot or gallop, simply walked the whole time. so that's pretty much my experience with horses. city girl.
    so i saw a couple of your videos, this one being my second, and it's very interesting to me, horse behavior. i have asked people before who own horses, what are they like? personality wise? i said, are they more like a cat or a dog? a girl who owned horses told me, "well, you realize they are big enough to kill you, right? and yet they let us tell them what to do. they are not like a cat or a dog. they are less intelligent."
    that did not set well with me. you can see in their eyes they are intelligent beings, and gentle. at least that's what i see.
    i have really enjoyed the videos i have watched by you, this one, and the one where a cougar tries to get a baby, but mama chases him out of the pen. i am learning a lot about horse behavior and i plan to watch many more of your videos.

    This is a lesson on how humans screw up everything.
    The human shouldn't have been there.
    After all that meandering around and trying to help the foal, it didn't do anything but scare and confuse the foal. He finally figured his own way out.
    My guess is the herd took off when two predators arrived; human and dog.
    They left in a hurry and left the baby, the stallion could not let the mare leave when two predators are on the scene.
    Once the dumb human had realized that the foal was trapped, he should have LEFT!

    the stallion didn't care much about the foal getting out he cared about his mares and didn't want them to leave he wasn't thinking like a person like"no mom he needs to figure it out himself" like you were saying

    TBH I always assumed their hierarchy was that of lions (obviously lions are predators and horses are prey) - male lions are mainly there to protect and mate. Stallions seem like they serve the same purpose. There isn't really a "leader", but it definitely isn't like other animals such as wolves, where there are clearly leaders (the parents).

      Think Like A Horse Thank you Rick for making any and all who complain about everything aware that their solutions to almost all their complaints. are within reach on their computers. i had an arab gelding years ago that my vet said had been proud cut when gelded. He was the best child's horse after i had him awhile although like my others he came with a bad reputation when we bought him. The point is when not under saddle he would snake the mares and even try to breed one for a short while after i first got her although he was not able to do so. If these know it alls spent a little time just watching herd behavior they would not5 be making the ignorant comments that they post.

    " you got to think like a horse" hey... that was a play on words (but this is kinda sad... that the baby and mother are separated and all he would need to do is destroy the him in its way (which is a fence) and let the baby pass through and go to the mother.

  • @FaithAboundsatMelodyAcres

    The thing I find most disturbing here is the original title "caught and released a wild horse". Video is removed and nothing in comments. Makes me wonder had someone caught the baby to try and lure the herd or or had someone caught the herd who broke out (causing the damage to the fence) and the baby couldn't follow. Why was this guy out there? It just seems fishy to me. If he "stumbled" across this why doesn't it say rescued or freed a wild horse.

    Rick, the first time, I heard you talk about horseshoes being bad for horses feet, got me to thinking. I found something in our human world, that would be comparable to horseshoes. Maybe, I've mentioned this before, but it would be like running track in tap shoes, complete with hurdles. Using that sort of analogy, helped me understand better where you were coming from. You are the best.

Rick points out the same issue in these video’s = there is more to training & relationship = than a pink halter & rope

Now I've never tap danced a day in my life, lol, because I have two left feet, but for the life of me, I cannot picture myself running track in tap shoes. If think I don't anything about horses, well, then fine. I hope you are being kinder than some folks on Rick's site that I've had to deal with.

      Cathy Brown-you are right! As a dancer-track enthusiast-equestrian, trying to do anything in track with tap shoes would be a nightmare! There is a famous Olympian star from awhile ago -Jim Thorpe- who grew-up running barefoot...it was hard for him to get used to using 👟track👟shoes👟, (He’s now deceased).
      Wild horses/free range horses have much harder hooves than domestic horses as I understand things.
      But the one question I would like to ask Rick is-so I have had a foul/colt/yearling with club hoof-have my terrific farrier aid that colt’s hooves into a normal shape and position with proper corrective shoeing.
      So-what’s up with that -Rick-???

    I blame cutesy Disney movies for people trying to pet wild animals (or even the getting into the cage with them in a ZOO.) We were taught as little kids not to pet the dog when he was eating his food (or don't come crying if he bites you) and control ourselves around cute wild animals and birds since some species will abandon their young ones if they smell humans on them.

I scared my friend when I push her dog away with my lower body (my legs) because he was guarding his food.

    Out of interest, are mares known for snaking? We used to have some alpacas in the field next to my mare, and I was over stroking the baby alpacas when my mare came trotting at me with ears pinned and head low, exactly as a stallion would with his mares! I'll be honest, I didn't challenge her, just walked away and she followed me for a bit and then went back to eating. She'd never shown much interest in the alpacas before that, but gave me a good laugh!

    • @ThinkLikeAHorse

      they can snake their babies but not normally other horses, but horses repeat behavior so if they see it works they could learn to do it.
