Horses Get Scared & Jump On Car - Why Did They Do That?

[@barbd9887]

Hi Rick, I don’t comment very often on any videos, but I just felt the urge to tell you that I just love your videos. I’ve never been able to have horses in my life, but I have always loved them so much! And I really enjoy your videos and learning things about horses, you’re a good man!

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Wow, thank you

[@socratescenter7947]

100% I've learned more from Rick and it has helped me with my Costa Rican horses. While they love their horses in this country OMG ... it would be a field day for you Rick! They have NO clue how to treat or handle them. They are extremely harsh to put it mildly. The Cabalgatas here are something to see. One of these days instead of partaking in the 'bar hopping on a horse' event, I want to just observe and record and send you the video.

[@justjoy143]

Hope the horse is okay. You're a good man, love you, Rick.❤❤❤

[@Tecolote41]

Now that I think about it, it may be like when birds hit windows because they don’t understand the reflection.

[@seahorse5689]

Another excellent analysis, Rick. Thank you!

[@harleysmum7884]

Morning Rick, spot on, as usual. Just like going outside on a snow day when the sun is blinding and there are reflections everywhere. Poor horse. I hope he didn't get to badly cut up.

[@NamiRose715]

Good morning Rick thanks for sharing. I hope the horse is ok

[@JediJan]

Hope the horse and the car occupants were okay. Passed a sloping field with several horses in the other day next to an intersection of a main (rural) road. Timber fence seemed too low to me, maybe 4' high, and I was thinking nothing would stop them jumping over if spooked.

[@brewnhell9938]

It’s all the little things many people never think about. I was raised up knowing many things but not really all the why’s behind the behavior. Thank you

[@ReleaseTheQuackers]

I hope that horse is alright! Rick, you are brilliant as usual 💘

[@Carole-og8br]

Its 3:45am here in Spokane. I was 😊 pleasantly surprised to find your TLH analysis. Just so interesting all the valuable info you share about horses. You still remain my #1 horse behavior expert. Have a great day, Rick. Give Buddy and Ransom an extra treat for me.

[@nogames8982]

Hey, I live in Walla Walla.

[@Carole-og8br]

Hi fellow WA. resident. Have a good week,!

[@justinefeist1864]

Thank you, Rick 🥰 I'm going to tell Buddy and Ransom that you've been eating their fruit 😉😂 Hugs for your boys, and have a wonderful day, Rick 🥰🥰

[@frederickbooth7970]

Interesting chart you showed. It said that horses have a limited depth perception. I`m more like a horse than a human! I also would have limited depth perception under those confusing conditions those horses were experiencing. Especially with all the reflections. To this day I`m very careful when in an area I`m not familiar with at night or confusing light conditions.

[@reddead_73]

Hey rick. Been an long time fan of your content, and fan of horses, i really appreciate on how you speak for the horses and call out the bad idiot horse owners who mistreat them. Thank you rick, for these awesome videos. :)

[@maggiekoonsman5425]

Happy day Rick, so consistent on bringing us HORSE KNOWLEDGE!! LOVE IT 👩‍🌾✌️🇨🇱

[@dianegherman9785]

I hope you got wind of Zebra Craziness in Washington. Some brilliant person was driving to Montana and on a small town heading on I90 to cross Snoqualmie pass. Started up again and left the trailer undone and 5 zebras are now loose. The stallion 3 days later has not been recaptured. He goes & eats with a pasture of horses. The jumps the fence and heads into the forest. The great "they" say they have spotted a bob cat tracking him. Of course no one in animal control have a clue. Hoping they get a proper horseman from Eastern WA. Poor guy!

[@beatlematicus1]

Rick that you for the explanation. Now I know why a deer ran into my stopped car. I sure they have similar vision.

[@amydeabold5520]

Im new to this page. @Longhorn Lesters sent us.. Im learning all things i never knew about horses.( everything) I always wondered how horses see in pitch blackness and i finally found out..very interesting video but poor horse! Hope he was ok .

[@bonnie448]

Horse water trough idea. I just saw a trick for not overfilling a trough. Buy a gas pump nozzle and hook it to your water tank. It stops filling when the tank is full. I thought that with your resourcefulness, you might like this idea. You need some sort of female coupling for the water part, and a U bolt to hold it inside the tank.

[@pistodouziera5671]

This is very educational Rick, you point out things from the horse’s perspective that a lot of people don’t. I don’t own horses but I ride at a barn and I learned many things from you, especially when to detect bad things being done to horses and not to do them myself. Great video man, kudos

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

👍🤠

[@GonzointheSelf]

Aww hope little guy is alright! Cute horsies

[@HorseyGal4ever]

Good morning sunshine!

[@tericohen2715]

I just tried to explain to my uncle why horses don’t belong in the city and he completely disagrees with me. I think there’s multiple reasons why horses belong in the city.

[@toscadonna]

I always cringe when I see horses in the cities. I think they put the blinders on them because there’s so much stuff that could frighten them in the city. It’s sensory overload.

[@dorismatthews4416]

Thanks for your explanation, Rick. Makes sense to me. Keep on keepin' on!

[@astrid8083]

I hope the horse didnt cut its legs . Hopefully. Good explanation Rick about the vision in horses.

[@rdred8693]

I always said "Think like a cow", working with dairy cows. They're similar, but horses are more risky to deal with. Hope the horses are okay, and glad those two people didn't get hurt.

[@zamzar2]

The horse sees the car like a big black rock or hill in the snow and slipped ➿➿ - poor horse got a shock .😮

[@SaraNightfire1]

Having grown up in Maine, I have seen moose accidents where cars have hit a moose. The damage is basically the same as a moose. Mostly fatal, they were extremely lucky. Oh yeah, a place where I used to ride had mirrors lining the wall. A family bought their little kid a “beginner-friendly” trail gelding. He had never probably been inside for years, and he never stopped spooking over the mirrors at the wall. To the point where it was actually dangerous to ride him.

[@ediemeagher7401]

Great explanation of what’s going on!

[@nowandthennn]

Wow ! Poor horsey ! I hope no one got hurt ! ❤❤❤❤

[@especiallyapaint]

I think the horse was afraid of going thru the tight spot between the cars, panicked and jumped. The body of the car was dark, so they’d defintely see that part. Horses vision abilities seem just as normal to me on a sunny snowy day than at other times. I’ve seen horses run into things year round whether it’s a cloudy or sunny summer day, cloudy or sunny snowy day and at night. Sun on snow is bright but if they’ve been in that climate for an awhile they should be used to it.

[@fredvp]

Thank you for this information.

[@toscadonna]

Hopefully that horse is okay. They’re pretty tough, so fingers crossed. Looked like a young horse, too.

[@occulta4249]

My horse often kicks when she's slipping. Maybe part of the reason was also that the ground was slippery because of the snow and they were not able to turn fast enough to avoid the car

[@ellieelizabeth5627]

Hi Rick and horsey peeps. Wow! Isn't that something? Heck, bright reflective snow is a hazard to humans, I can't imagine what it's like for a horse with their sensitive eyes. I hope the poor horse didn't get too injured. The car, on the other hand..........oopsie.

[@guymcmullan9297]

Hello from Montana, Rick I watched a tiny little old lady get out of the truck, and walk up to seven horses and hold up her finger and calm the out of the corral and loose frightened horses,, they all stopped and followed her in tennis shoes I might add,big ranch horses, stay calm your not being punished, I love your work, eat more beef your skin won't sag

[@RKX_Errant]

I know you've explained horses' light sensitivity, but this time I grasped just how sensitive. Also, I wonder if this has any correlation to their sleep requirements (the small amount). Interesting.

[@Asp47999]

Rick! Been a while since I saw your vids. Been watching 15 yrs, no lie. Hope y’all are all doing well!

[@lindafishkin5795]

Good Tuesday morning 4/30 Rick ☕️☕️🤗🤗

[@ligt18098]

I love the AI Horse Night Vision at 1:52 omg I can't read a thing haha

[@americanwoman8947]

Did he survive this? I can only imagine the damage done to his legs. I recall seeing a herd of horses galloping down the streets in elementary school. I still can see the horse who went down sliding on his side as the herd made a sharp left turn on the road. They lived in the land behind the school yet somehow got loose. Very sad situation. It wasn't a busy street but things can go south in a second.

[@ievabernieks325]

Yup, poor horse. I’m hoping that he will be OK but… worried 😟

[@emansona]

I just started riding and taking lessons at 24 years old. I gotta see if you have any riding tips videos

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

i have many, my website is worth the visit thinklikeahorse.org

[@elinoirsmythe224]

hope the poor horsey is okay!

[@spiridoulaathanasopoulou9244]

Thanks sir.

[@Swimkid1]

Thanks

[@snookanookazoo3268]

Great Videa Rick.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Thanks 👍

[@peggycampbell905]

Great video! Maybe he thought the car was a ford mustang🤣🤣 hope the horse is okay.

[@annhowcroft9493]

Poor horse

[@jamesoncross7494]

Good video.

[@robotbuster1487]

HEY!! Where did you go? You live stream got gassed.

[@susangardiner]

Sure hope the horse is not badly hurt. Been watching videos where horses looking in a mirror and thier reaction looks to me like they think its another horse.

[@johnm840]

Nice review

[@patriciafleischer8866]

So informative wow

[@onetuliptree]

I would have expected both horses to go around the car, and not over.

[@louisegogel7973]

Do we know how the horse was after this incident? And it almost looked like the driver got banged on the head, what about those two guys? Also how does the car insurance respond to such an incident?

[@alienprepper5918]

Hey Rick

[@Howietexas]

👍

[@metalkingtohorses]

poor horsey

[@sherilynn1310]

Hey, Horse Person. I have been avoiding watching horse racing (grew up LOVING IT) because it has obviously become far crueler and more dangerous. I won't resume watching until the gates are made safer, the horses get another year to grow up before beginning training, and they stop hitting them. But I still love the horses and I happened to bump into this footage of the Kentucky Derby winner in training. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJzGmqeknbCfr7c First, I think there is something very awkward going on with this horse's legs. They seem hypermobile, like the hoof goes too far forward with every step, especially in the walk. Second, the lady YANKING on his lead and hitting him in the mouth with it stopped doing that when the owner came by. He seems a super chill horse with a great disposition, but I'd sure start getting mean if somebody hit me in the mouth for no apparent reason. This is a very valuable horse, obviously, even if he doesn't race again. Am I wrong that he is having a subtle problem, especially with the near hind leg? Are they mistreating him despite his marvelous calm personality? I mean outside of making him race as a baby.

[@charliebravo8954]

🤠

[@hollykiebler9502]

I used to listen to you all the time. I had to take a step back, quite honestly, bc I didn't appreciate your political commentary. You have a right to feel the way you do - it is a free country but I want to watch to learn about horses and I think you have taught me a lot. I love your Texas accent and you can be quite funny at times. I watched this episode and I am glad I did...once again you proved the wealth of information you have on these wonderful animals. In the future - please keep politics out of this - you are doing yourself and this channel a great disservice if choose to do so. Just my 2 cents.

[@guessagain6647]

1st!!!%

[@th.burggraf7814]

After hours and hours of intense analyzing, it became clear to me that there's only one reasonable explanation for this incident. It's got to be Trump's fault. 🤔

[@melissahoffman4687]
