Kabul is protecting his small friend - typical care taking stallion behavior

[@lisajoyaslanis]

Kabul is magnificent... So powerfully built!

[@myhounddog]

I adore your information videos ☺️ thank you

[@annamcknight2573]

Good to see such a fine, well put together stallion. He would be an asset in the desert.

[@vrccb]

I love your explanation of how winds affect horses and that of stallion scent marking behaviour. Of course you are quite right. Beautiful horse and they are lucky to have you as an owner.

[@jocoombe3]

High wind, windy days, have always had the effect on me to make me feel more alive, more aware and ready to meets whatever is coming. It has always been this way!

[@joeking9760]

So you're saying you're a horse..

[@catherinemceachern1164]

Kabul is a beautiful stallion. I love how he looks out for his little friend.

[@jazerlights8870]

What beautiful Horses!

[@JulesHarris1991]

Kabul is a very beautiful horse! They have a wonderful friendship

[@hopehollingsworth-venezian2080]

You have so much knowledge. And your horse and pony are absolutely beautiful. I look forward to watching more.💙Hope💙 from Maryland, U.S.A

This was fascinating, thank you

[@TheJanice52]

Kabul is a good stallion to protect you little Tibor.

[@mimime5376]

Very intetesting, thank you. By the way, beautiful horses.

[@aflaz171]

Love this video you did this really well.

[@beachbunny7256]

Excellent video!! 🐴🐎⚘

[@Oakleaf700]

My mother used to teach young children [5yrs> 7yrs] and says high winds sends children a little wild as well. Maybe it is because a predator can more easily sneak up in high winds, as so much is going on, sound wise, the wind in the trees can mask other sounds?

[@teej783]

My horses love to run and play when the weather starts to get a little rough. I don't know if they can feel the static electricity in the air before it rains or if the wind blowing gets them excited because they cannot hear and smell as well as they'd like. They seem to enjoy it immensely though and the power and grace they exude is fascinating. I have a small herd of six horses and a pony. The pony I keep separated because one of the mares is pretty jealous and bossy to all but two of the geldings.

[@hillshepherd9444]

Very Nice !!!!

[@erikstauder]

handsome stallion

[@lorettomccartney6295]

How funny, I too have a large, very large white Percheron with a small black pony friend he loves like anything. They are so good together, Big Bud and Charley are there for each other. The pony will defend the big guy just as quick. They groom each other, but Bud is only groomed up to his shoulder. One is 17h the other just 10 h.

[@vigilantdr.dolittle]

Let them together, even if the small one is hurt, the big lad would never hurt him. Animals aren’t stupid and have control over their bodies like us over ours.

[@sapphire48481]

Excellent!

[@chrish6001]

A stallion knows when another horse is a male or not. It's normal for horses to groom each other, even males. I get the impression the stallion is frustrated because the area he's confined to is small. Horses are herd animals so being unable to be with another horse or herd animal would also be frustrating and stressful. See 'Think Like a Horse' channel & info website. #ThinkLikeaHorse

[@paardentango]

? I think you did not understand the clue of this movie. The stallion is not frustrated, he goes to the 'danger' to check it.

[@dgarzaart2000]

yes, Kabul needs more space a more of a herd. if he is an andalusian, he can definitely be a working stallion. not just for breeding, could be in the show ring with patient training.

[@simonew1459]

Chris H ,you are so right . Ricks Chanel is the best for all people who really want to learn.

[@louisecrosbie1673]

I don't understand why people feel they have to judge and cant just watch a lovely clip. The lady who produced this video doesn't need offers of advice or other videos that maybe less knowledgeable.She shows great empthay and knowledge of horses already. This clip shows that. From one horse lover to another thank you for sharing this clip of your beautiful animals.

[@kristinemcgill6079]

She said they were separated cause the little pony just got castrated and wasn't feeling well; otherwise they're together.

[@gingercox6468]

Something to be wary of in the shadows or monsters in the dry corn field

[@deletedfoff4587]

Start the video at 02:43 just to get the real bit.

[@MaritsView]

He's a handsome boy The stallion was alert, and warned the other horse, in wild life he would do the same stallions are the pack owners, they are leaders. Kabul was telling him come with me this is danger

[@andtrrrot]

Not so. The alpha mare is the herd leader. Stallions are expected to fight off attacks from the rear flank.

[@monelleny]

Stallions get the mares pregnant and keep other stallions away, that's all. Herds are led, guided, and disciplined by a mare.

[@jennymcmillin5668]

monelle Fascinating. I did not know that. It’s much like elephants. The males come around for breeding but it’s the females who do the raising, training and protecting. And the alpha female is in charge.

[@terrygassner9805]

Yes they are!

[@elmar001]

Wow - never knew horses marked their territory with their poo/wee - thought only wolf-like animals did that.

[@paardentango]

Read some biology, you will find out horses do not have a territory

[@elmar001]

I was more referring to the whole behaviour of using poo/wee as a way of expressing possession over something, whether that be other horses to establish a pecking order or marking a territory and not just using it as a means of waste disposal. A quick Google search does seem to indicate that territorial behaviour has been observed in horses anyway: horses344.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/territorial-behavior.html

[@paardentango]

There are many blogs, unfortunately most of them are popular talks. In scientific research we stick on facts and observations. There are many beliefs in the horse world, I know that. Perhaps this is interesting for you. There has been research done on the urinating from the stallion over the mare her poo, and it seemed that the pheromones of the mare are disabled by the urine. So another stallion does not 'know' (smell) she is in season.

[@edda2703]

This horse just behave like a horse and would never hurt his little friend! Because he know HE is the leader!...so let them be together!

[@paardentango]

+DeepH He is no leader, he is an entire. The one who is bossy is the small guy. Kabul does what he needs to do, protect and care for his small friend. No he would never hurt, but occasionally his testosterone took over so at the end I did separate them with an electric wire. Just for a few days.

[@kawythowy867]

Wow. Pretty cool info.

[@kimberley1449]

This poor stallion has no space at all. And the pony should be together always.

[@mikematics]

At 3:32 Kabul's left leg is nearly in a 90° angle.

[@Victoria_2005]

Animals are are cognitive as they have to be, to survive their environment, so I take issue with you saying that he's not very smart. 😊👍

[@carolirvine3095]

Horses are good at being horses and rely on their instincts - They are not overly intelligent which is why they can be trained and sometimes forced to do something they don't want to do - A mule, on the other hand, is really smarter and will not do something he thinks will hurt him - Mules have a reputation for being stubborn but they are really smart and can't be fooled as easily as a horse

[@martagilvazartlife]

Kabul looks like the Andalucian stallion i painted last year.....you're a very wise lady

[@aremedyproject9569]

He just wants to play for goodness sakes. Common pony let’s go kick up our heals and play tag then grab the cheek game. Guy’s stuck in a tiny turn outs with no chance to really peel around at a full gallop in the exciting wind needs letting off some exuberant fun loving energy. When he was alone there was no motivation to run cuz he was distracted by needing to check the place out. That’s my interpretation anyways. I’ve owned and trained/ridden studs, mates and gelding, foals so not just armchair thoughts. Cheers.

[@lizzward3186]

The pony couldn't run around it had just had surgery!!!!!

[@larisaaa]

I enjoyed this clip so much and then made the mistake of reading the comments. Some of the comments on here are the most retarded things I have ever read in my life. Reminded me, yet again, why I tend to dislike people so much and prefer to stick to horses.

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

Are they always in that tiny pasture? I understood horses need acres not holding pens.

[@deletedfoff4587]

[@americanwoman8947]

Horses are not stupid! You label them wrong because you do not undetstand that this is perfectly normal behavipr for a prey animal. Their very lives depend on the alertness of the high horse to notice new things in their territories and to keep their herd member(s) safe by placing themselves between the potential threat and their herd. This high horse did what any high horse should do. I cannot comprehend your inability to read horses properly. If this stallion is bonded to the mini horse and is fine with him in the day you are doing them a diservace to seperate them at night. The small horse shows zero signs of fear around the stallion. They trust each other more than you are capable of trusting them. You have irrational fears of your own horse they are yours. Horses do not become nuts when it is windy or whatever you are saying about energy. They can smeel more and from where the wind is coming from. Windy days do not change horses. You believe this to be true in your mind alone. Unless a Stallion is smelling a mare in heat or other foteign horses or threats there is or should not be a difference unless the humans around them are not the high horse over the stallion or if the human being has messed up energy because of wind. You already said something in your video that tells me you are not your horses leader. You fear him because you allowed him to be your high horse which means you should not own a stallion or any horses. Behavior was completely normal. Stallion stood upto the threat (a tractor) several times and kept his herd safe. He is quite predictable and he did a good job at gettong rid of the tractor in his mind. The horse just let me know that does not belong there nor happens very often or he would have gotten used to it.. If it does come often and the horse had a leader in a human he needs to be sacked out so he does not feel a tractor is a threat to him. And though he is fast he was never in jeapordy of smashing any fence down. He knows his territory and how to protect it.. Even a high horse Gelding would do the same exact thing unless the horses human had taught him this is ok by working with him. Stallions do npt step on their foals in the wild nor do the other horses in a herd. The only wild potential issue is if a new high horse took over the hetd and the foal was from the defeated former leader. Horses are very predictable if you take the time to watch herd interactions. Sadly this is somethong most horse people neglect and I will never understand why humans think they know more abput horses than horses do.. The best teacher about horses are the horses..not a humans false interpretations of what a horse is doing. He is a Stunning Animal. Not sure why you have not guelded jhim unless you are breeding him.

[@haleylahaie3740]

Wild stallions have no issues with foals even if it's a colt that is not there own. A wild stallion will only kill a foal of it is too injured to keep moving or defective. "Domestic" stallions are only a danger to foals because they have no idea how to act around any horse and can and will even injure mares. Also the wind does tend to affect horses. When it gets quite windy out most horses will go up on high alert or get a bit more frisky. We have a gelding herd at our barn on 30 acres(that's the pasture. the barn is set on 80) and everytime it gets windy you can really tell who the herd leader is as they'll start moving the herd, pushing, and playing more frequently and with higher energy. Other than that I must agree with you though.

[@LizNicholsArt]

She is talking about the stallion running over the fence or impaling himself on a fence post or something like that. Horses overreact in situations like that sometimes and can hurt themselves badly. This is what she is talking about as to him being stupid, he is emotional and sensitive, and might do something which to him seems logical, but to us seems illogical.

[@Nicole-qc5dh]

@@LizNicholsArt Yeah, but that doesn't really matter much when everything else she said was inaccurate.💁

[@DawnNunoBettencourtGal]

I agree! !her fencing is not good it you looked to the right looks like wood pallets or old wooden fence leaning in ward she moved the camera fast, she dont need horses, i didnt see his ball hanging down lol so not sure he was a stallion.He looked gelded.

[@wallydog2282]

,way to stick it to the dumb bitch

[@elizafaulhammer2203]

How can you say the stallion is not intelligent? ARE you?

[@oaktjen]

OMG, people like you make me sick. She said when they PANIC they can do STUPID THINGS and risk injury. If you don't know that, then you know NOTHING about horses. Before you spout off, you should doublecheck what you're spouting off about and make sure you are truly on topic. Otherwise, you look like an overreactive imbecile. This woman has a HUGE awareness of horses which is very clear. If I were her, I'd shut off comments because fools like you have to negative-bomb and ruin everything, including stealing her very valid point.

[@elizafaulhammer2203]

@@oaktjen , dude, you need to calm down!

[@MarieElenaCambria1]

@ American Woman and the other posts, which clearly demonstrate lack of Horse husbandry and communications-hearding instincts etc. I doubt you or many of you have been around a lot of high energy, athletic horses esp. Stallions, which btw do hurt themselves. This is why wise trainers boot them up upon turn out. The Wind does indeed stir up horses senses - there exists a perfectly scientific reason - perhaps GOOGLE it instead of attacking this author showing her how very American you are - truly sad. BTW stallions often hurt mares...known fact and yes Stallions occasionally step on foals. This also is a hot blooded or warm blooded horse not some backyard 35 yr old QH gelding. And quit judging this woman. Your "stupid" is showing. PS I hope you don't mean "prey animal" as in high prey instinct because then the OP dwarfs you in common sense and knowledge. Go kick a dog or something.

[@doojschooley848]

Listen here you little teenager. The woman is a twit like you. Her fencing is dangerous, her judgement is poor , and her insight into these animals is shallow. And btw, I am extremely proud to show the world how American I am instead of being an ignoramos from some little 3d world mud puddle like you, so shut the hell up and go take a little nap.

[@lizzward3186]

"Kick a dog"???????? WTF???? I was with you until that moronic statement. I'd love to catch you trying to kick one of my Spoos, you'd have 100,000 volts coursing through your system in a heartbeat. Stupid cow! Someone needs to kick you!

MarieElena Cambria the horse world needs more ladies like yourself. People who are open minded and don't judge and scorn based on a small clip. I praise you.

​@@louisecrosbie1673and Marie Elena, I agree! Even 4 years later, I'm still coming across About Horses videos which I really enjoy and learn from. And am still surprised by the rudeness and aggression of some commentators in general on the internet.

When you say he’s not very smart I find this to be very ignorant humans could learn a lot from how horses behave with each other.
