Image's Legacy is a great name

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Great name.

What do you need in supplies for your horses? Let me know please and where to send it...

[@user-qk2yq6yp4l]

A great lesson for all horse people. They read us like a book!😊

[@brendaredmond4678]

What you said about projecting bad energy to the horse is not "hippy" at all. It makes perfect sense. It's that way with other animals as well.

[@Luckybetta]

This is 💯 percent true! Animals don't have a verbal language, but they do read energy, body language and our smells from our body chemistry. Animals are empathic, as anyone that's ever been sad or upset has had a pet try to comfort them could tell you.

[@donnaanderson3527]

What a beautiful boy JR, his confirmation is stunning!❤ Patty is testament to how you care for your horses, 23 years old and in absolutely beautiful condition. You could see your reflection in her coat! Not only that but to produce and carry a foal like Legacy, as a senior mare, just shows her level of fitness. She’s beautiful, be proud of the love you put into your horses JR, it’s beautiful to witness.❤❤❤

I want a sweet baby like that so bad but I am too old. 65. I need a horse that is completely broke and calm. Like me. Lol.

[@zandraengel4771]

Since its both Patty and Images last foal, id keep the foal even if its a colt and wait and see if you have reproduced that shoulder action. Feeding a colt for a year after weening would be well worth the exspense to watch confirmation and movement. Wouldnt want to sell that movement to someone else.😊

[@Luckybetta]

💯👆 THIS!

[@stephaniefisher6226]

They said they don't have room for another stallion but I would try to keep him even if it was nearby. Patty and Image are exceptional. I only dream of a horse like that. ❤

Great video! Thanks for letting us spend more time with Patty and Legacy. That little guy is a delight, and the name is perfect. So glad to know more of Patty's history, and I understand now why you were so hoping she would have a little filly. It would have been lovely to continue Patty's blood line and Image's with a breeding mare.

[@davehertle]

The Farm Boy in me loves these birthing videos. We have millions of kiddos that have never witnessed a live birth of any kind so that part of their knowledge is missing. The cycle of life on full display.

[@heatherd.9390]

Knowing how special this momma and the daddy are to your family, I have to admit I felt a bit of disappointment finding out she'd had a colt, but you are so right... it's far more important that it is healthy. Hopefully you will find/have found a home with someone you know so that you can visit often and have him sire for you in the future if they choose to not geld him. He's beautiful! Heather🇨🇦

Patty is so beautiful and 23 years old and had a beautiful baby. Legacy is a great name. Image name carries on. Thank you for the sharing the history on Patty. Congratulations! 🎉

[@padfoot3]

To Irene Smith…..As JR and Emeri have said many times,they are a working ranch,not a rescue operation. In order to continue to exist, they need to breed and eventually sell livestock. If they do not, then they will go bankrupt. However, they have on occasion rescued special horses such as Oliver, and Jewel with her newborn foal. In both instances, they were able to do that because they were blesses by donations from their You Tube and Patreon family. You seem to have a heart for rescuing horses, and there are many many rescue operations who would be grateful for your donation. Because of the ongoing feed,veterinary costs, etc. for Oliver and Jewel, I will be supporting Homestead as a member of their Patreon; I believe they would be grateful if you do so as well.

[@lynnecamp3268]

Legacy is adorable! Good job, Patty! 👍❤️😁

[@cuthbert2546]

You are SO right, JR, about horses picking up on your energy and reflecting it back. I've experienced that more times than I can remember!

[@carlaatkins2619]

I love your horses and Blessings for being the family you are.

[@susanscully9523]

Yall are awesome to get all this on tape for us. I was so worried about the baby because it took him an hour to stand up, But thanks be to God, it all worked out well. Yall are all so sweet and kind to your horses.

[@rebeccarothfuss-ym3gs]

Some babies are exhausted from the birthing process. Maybe that was why it took him so long to get up. He is a big foal so maybe it was a more intense labor for Patty and thereby tiring for him. Could that be a possibility?

[@rifalsetiawan8473]

Beautiful mother beautiful baby of course, healthy baby s active and cute.. 🐴

[@hummingbird_chirps8520]

Definetly the geneology and history of the beautifully Soulful legacy of your beloved buddy, Sunrises Golden Image, is to be proud of... He was memorizingly beyond beautiful! The foals that have come from his lineage are gorgeous and this last colt, son of Image and birthed by Patty, who is also very special, is perfectly named... "Legacy", reveals your devotion of respect, honor and love within the memories of Image... and the gratefully precious time Image and you spent nuturing each other with the warmth of unconditional love... "Two Souls' Entwined for an Eternity" 🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋

Beautiful Legacy was born on my son’s birthday. I relived my labor in my mind along with Patty(I saw the live birth). I thank God for him every day.(& my beautiful daughter). I’m so happy Patty & Legacy are fine. He has long legs! I like the tuning fork comparison JR. Your so right. I hope you win Becka. Have fun, I wish I was near enough to come to the show. I’d love to meet y’all. God Bless

Your foals are all snugglebums, it’s lovely to see you not doing the over aggressive imprinting some other breeders do, that’s probably why your foals are so well adjusted & want to be around you all. 🤗p.s love the name, Legacy suits him.

Nun sollte aber Schluß sein mit züchten. Mit 23 Jahren hat die Stute ihre Ruhe verdient. Gerade, wenn sie sich so schlecht ablegen kann und kaum noch hoch kommt. Seien Sie dankbar, was Ihnen die Stute geschenkt hat an Erfolg und Fohlen und gönnen Sie ihr noch ein paar ruhige Jahre.

[@marykayevaughan3498]

Love his name !

[@rgould4196]

Wonderful baby, good job as her mid-wife! LOL. And geldings make wonderful partner horses! So hopefully you'll decide to keep him! 🙂 Your family does a really nice job with the horses & animals, that is so nice to see, thank you for that. Also, during birthing, using straw (wheat, not oat) can be better for the baby rather than sawdust, which they can get in their nose, breathed in can cause bronchial issues. But it doesn't absorb water well, so after the foal is up, dried & doing good, it can be replaced with the sawdust. Good job!! 👍

[@ronallen6578]

Regardless of how many times I witness a birth of anykind whether it was MY son or kittens or puppies or here several times a foal as you've graciously shown us, it's nothing short of a MIRACLE😂😂. To watch a brand new life begin gives you the opportunity to witness some of God's power. Perhaps to him, it's ordinary, but to me, enough said. As I stated on another video, I thought in honor of Image that "Spitting Image" would be such an appropriate name. Just a thought🤔🤔. Take good care of mom and baby😅😅 I just saw where you named him Legacy. Yea, thats a great name. Please don't take offense to my suggestion. I have a tendancy to comment before the end sometimes😬😬

I did see the live birth video & very glad I seen this 1,even more! Thank you for continuing to teach us things about horses I had no idea they do menopause & now know what happened to JR & learned about horses picking up on you & your feelings I know that's correct100% i been round animals all my life (my prarie dogs are especially skittish being a prey animal) don't get me wrong they're completely relaxed & lovable at home but you do have to be aware that they can hear things you can't are territorial Etc so I need to be on the ball when I handle them an unexpected noise or something like that can spook them= honestly I'm relieved that it wasn't Oliver I was scared to death that maybe giant Oliver hurt you by accident😬 I was worried I'm relieved it wasnt him=that's good info to learn the difference of a settled in horse vs. A younger horse that might be more high-strung= I had a question back when Jr & bekah we're working with a horse she got 1 foot up in the stirrup you guys were taking that horse real slow & careful & you aborted the mission you said the horse showed fear so ended that B4 anything went wrong & I'm so glad that you did!!= I'm so curious?? What to look for?? The eyes? The ears going back? The nostrils flaring? Tensing of the muscles? I was watching & I don't know? what I was looking for?? Been wanting to ask that question? maybe later? in some video?? Maybe you could point out what to watch for?=& I know you wanted a little Mare so bad I'm so sorry but at least you got a healthy little boy I know you said you can't have too many stallions that does make sense I'm sad for that too😔but he will probably do just fine just at a different Homestead down the road = & I'm glad u dried the cold baby off & gave him whatever name stuff that was? that he needed for a good start🙂I'm relieved yall were right there to help the new❤️baby you guys know what your doing JR'S healing hands to help birth babies is the most awesome thing I have ever seen!!! I wish I had just a fraction of yalls knowledge!!= Sadly I seen a video of a baby horse born breach? (His Head was back & got pulled out by 2 guys that way!)😭💔 I feel it wasn't handled right?? Would like to know could that baby have been saved??😭💔 I think if JR was there that baby could've been saved??= 2 guys "pulled"😳 baby out did not try to go in & correct position b4 pulling =my great grandfathers farm vet book I grew up lookin at frm young age showed how baby horses r sposed to come out & other positions that aren't right I would swear that bk showed going in to assist position? Before assisting??= those 2 guys blew it!! IMO I could be wrong? Horses name was queen - - - - (something?) A fresian mare - her baby was lost😭💔 named star (foreign country I think?) But near by another mare with brand new baby= passed away of colic they brought her new baby to fresian mare "very carefully" she accepted the new baby!!! (Named him rising star after lost baby) if JR said 1 way or the other?? (wonder if that baby had a chance?😭💔) = I'd totally believe whatever he said because he knows!!! & is an accomplished first class horseman!!! Anybody that can help birth baby horses is AOK # 1 TO ME!!!

[@YorkistRaven]

Bless his heart! The little colt says "Please keep me and let me be a breeding stallion". He could pass on his dam's special shoulders, and his sire--well he was a spectacular stud as you know. He is a sweet baby and he might be a champion!

[@rebeccarothfuss-ym3gs]

What a nice video. So good of you to address some of the concerns/issues from the live video viewers who aren't so horse or farm savvy. You both are good teachers! He's a handsome little dude, or should I say big dude! LOL Two big boys this year. Question: is the size of the foal only related to the size of the parents or does the health of the mother during the pregnancy determine the size of the foal? It's quite interesting all of the physical changes that the mare's body goes through in the days just before foaling, poor Patty was looking rather ragged but it was just her muscles softening up and the belly dropping etc that made her look so, just like we human moms when the baby drops shortly before delivery and our waddle becomes even more pronounced and we often look rather run down. And then in a few days things slowly start to return to normal. The whole process, from conception to birth, truly is a miracle. Blessing to every animal and human at the Homestead! Love and positive energy being sent your way, and prayers too.❤😊
