I tried warning him but he couldn’t hear me - he said he only knew once he felt the ground rumbling😂

[@rudniktheroan]

Read this before commenting or I’m just deleting your comment if it’s anything about these two points: 1: stop coming at him for the way he’s picking the hooves. He didn’t hear me correct him first off. Secondly he’s still learning. Ya’ll calling him a ‘red flag’ have clearly never seen a true red flag because I’d say someone who never spent a day around horses before we met, now wanting to learn to support my passion is as green as it gets. Ya’ll have zero patience for beginners and it shows. 2: he wasn’t teasing with the treats. He thought we were going back to the pasture and brought some for when we did. When he realized we weren’t yet he gave them to him. Like ya’ll really so bitter with your lives that you need to find every reason to turn a sweet and innocent moment into something negative

That's pretty cool that all the horses were concerned...also probably looking for treats.

[@Arete37]

Yes. During a thunderstorm one night I walked into the barn to check on my horses. I startled Annie who rushed out of the barn and clipped me in passing. I flew about 10 ft and lay there to catch my breath. She came over to me and started nuzzling me all over. It was so sweet. But then I figured out she smelled a tiny piece of dried up carrot in my pocket and wanted it. .

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

@@Arete37 I promise she was checking on you first and then maybe noticed the carrot. I was 11yrs old bareback on an ex race horse that decided he wanted to run home as fast as he could down a country road. I ended up sliding off at about 25 mph at least. I continued sliding on my back and then stopped just laying there. The horse came back sniffing me and stayed with me. He wasn't even my horse, just my friend's horse, but he cared.

[@barbrice721]

Years ago. We had two mares ready to foal at the stable I kept my horse at. 20 other horses were loose on 90 acres. We had 7 students with us waiting for the births. The grey horse laid down. And within 20 minutes gave birth to a coal black colt. That I bought 5 months later. But the strange thing was. When the foal gave a whinny. Out side the barn 20 neighed back. We never knew they had even come back to the barn. It was eerily Beautiful.

[@rudniktheroan]

Aww wow that’s amazing! Thank you for sharing that!

[@bethrichards2640]

Glad you explained the treats thing, but BF was so gentle, stayed near/touching your horse even while moving around him, projected a calm vibe, wanted so much to play in the field, and looks like he really wants to be part of your world. His hoof picking was better, more confident, than a lot of beginners I've had. Cool video. Many happy trail rides to you all!

[@margueritepeaden3445]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a horse that was better at picking up his feet for you to check them than Rudnik. It was funny while being very touching when everyone came to check on your partner.

[@DonnaBarrHerself]

Truly. We once started a colt foot and lead training the day he was born. The first time the farrier looked at his tiny hooves, the colt whipped one up to be examined. Farrier said, "Somebody's been handling his feet." Proud as a parent.

I found it interesting that you lay down, the horse checks you out, another comes over from the heard, and then the whole heard comes over to see what going on. That was funny and cute. I do find that horses in many ways are like dogs. Their behavior is fascinating to me. I love they way you take care of your horses.

How gorgeous they all are. Horses are one of the most underrated animals. They are just so majestic.

[@keekers]

My great grandfather fell in the field one day. His wife knew something was up because all of the horses were circled around him. They would walk as slow as he needed to walk and never left his side. She took a picture of them circled up. Called her grandson who lived on the property and he came and helped his grandfather. Years later when we scattered his ashes on the hill on his land, all of the horses got quiet and circled around again below us.

[@KateColors]

What a lovely sight. Made me cry. ❤ During the summer I used to save up my allowance to go horseback riding with my cousin every other week. They always gave me a horse called Bonanza. I think I was 14 or 15. I was a little scared to ride at first but then I got used to her/him. I really loved riding but stopped when I graduated high school and had to work. Forty years later, I became friends with someone who rented out her barn to someone who had horses. She took me in so I could see the horses. They were huge and so beautiful. I don't know why, maybe their size, I was scared of them. Thinking about it now, maybe they were trying to get to me to say hi. They seemed like they were trying to get out of their pen and pushing against the rails. And they were so tall. I've always loved horses. I probably should try again to go find some horses. My friend had to give up renting the barn. She had a couple of cows who were huge, too. They were beautiful. I collect photographs of cow's faces with the intention to paint them some day. There's something about a cow's face that I love.

[@rudniktheroan]

I love that you’ve been able to make connections with people that have allowed you to continue being around horses, if even just a little. They can be so amazing for our mental health! Such a large animal that will happily enjoy your presence without asking anything from you (except maybe treats). Horses have gotten me through some of the darkest days of my life. I also agree about cows! I love their big faces and big doe eyes - if we ever get our own spot I think I’m going to need to get a pet cow (who can also be a buddy for Rudnik!) 😂

My husband collapsed in the paddock from atrium fibrillation. I had a mare, I had only had for a week in that paddock. She immediately went into "guard" mode over him and stayed with him while I rang the ambulance and had to go and open the gate for the ambulance. She only moved back when the paramedics began to work on him. He was fine after a while in hospital and she became my "heart" horse until she passed, many years later.

[@rudniktheroan]

Omg that’s so scary! It’s amazing how protective they can be over the ones they care about though - i feel like it’s a side to horses that not many people get to see or experience. I’m so glad he was ok though and I’m so sorry about your loss 💔 she sounds like she was an amazing friend ♥️

That was so awesome! They all showed up to check on him! Omg.....I wasn't expecting that! Sweet experience! Years ago when my husband and I, our daughter and her boyfriend camped out all night on the beach we dug small trenches just big enough for our bodies to lay down in to sleep in the sand. We had a fire going in the center. The wind was coming in that night and we were chilly. It kept us out of the cold and we slept in our sleeping bags we put in these individual trenches. We were on Assateague Island that is a 37 mile barrier island that is also a national reserve that has wild ponies. Look it up. It's beautiful. We woke up the next morning with ponies encircled around our camp fire. I had a pony looking down at me snorting with his nose just feet from me as he tried to figure out who I was and what I was doing! Love you video!
