If protecting your mare meaning screaming and swearing at a horse that doesn't understand human language and thinking they'll leave, sounds like a joke to me because once a horse locks on to another in a aggressive matter- nothing can distract it from attacking as seen in the video, but I suppose points for trying to keep her horse safe.

Unless you think they should have dismounted and tried offering him carrots, calling him a nice horsie??

The kid that I was with, on a very pleasant ride that is, got injured and thown from his mare when we were on the public trail. Someone hadn't tightened the gate enough and he got out on the public property. Unfortunately for this stallion, this mare was very protective of my student, which resulted in her Injuring the stallion. She hit him right in the head. I think she did some major damage because he dropped and started convulsing, after a few minutes he passed away 😅. I waited for a car to pick us and the horses up. The owner of the stallion tried to sue for damages, but judge was having non of it. He ended up the one who paid for kids medical treatment. Horrific how some people are so careless....

The dog went between my horses legs, growling and snapping. And this wonderful, glorious horse stood completetely still until the dog was within reach. One well-aimed kick, I heard the dog whine and then it backed off and we could leave. What a horse! I'll be forever greatful that he took such good care of me.

This is so frustrating to watch, I'm glad they've since been removed from the area but how irresponsible of the stallion's owners; you don't own a stallion unless you're able to teach it manners and keep it secured. Imagine if he'd have hurt you or your mare, or if he'd have successfully mounted your mare and hurt you or god forbid gotten her pregnant? I'd be fuckin' livid. This was also super scary to watch but I'm glad at the end it looked like your mare was protecting you...Stuff like this can traumatize and scare horses, I'm glad you guys ended up alright.

[@sparrowhogue8496]

Irresponsible is the exact term for the stallion's owners! Even though the public trail (bridleway, whatever lol) is through a private pasture, they still should've had a very visible sign at both entrances of the trail "caution: stallion lives in pasture" or something along the line of that! It doesn't take much effort and can potentially save a life! As a matter of fact, there's a trail around my area that some people use (I've only rode it once with some friends), and at both ends of the trail, there is a huge sign warning of an aggressive long horn bull that lives in the field. The owners haven't had an accident in all the years they've owned that land/bull because people see that sign and either go "oh, give this animal a WIDE birth" or "nope, don't wanna ride there". Granted it's two different animals, but the connection is there, lol signs can save a life. As someone who has been around both untrained and trained stallions, I can confidently say that: even the most well mannered ones will have their days! Someone I know owns a very "gentleman" mannered stallion, and yet they've had incidents where he's gotten aggressive or overprotective due to instincts (fight or flight). Being around aggressive stallions is very traumatizing for everyone involved (I've been charged and kicked at from recovering rescues), so I'm just happy these folks knew how to handle the situation! 😱

[@kelleysmith5709]

This mate must have been in heat which is why the stallion was so eager. When a stallion is like this, there's no way you're teaching him manners 😂

[@sparrowhogue8496]

@@kelleysmith5709 the owner said in another reply that her mare was not in heat at all. Yes, stallions usually get eager and excited when a nearby mare (or mares) are in heat, but this was also an aggressive behavior, most likely due to him being young. You CAN teach a stallion manners/how to behave, however like I said in my previous comment, even the most well trained ones can still have their tendencies to be aggressive and dominate. That's why responsible owners will not put their stallion out with mares and leave them there, because when breeding season begins, those nice and gentle stallions become territorial and aggressive. Even bachelor bands (young stallions who band together when they don't have a herd of their own) get aggressive due to them attempting to start a herd of their own. This is observed in wild horses fairly often, but can still happen with tamed ones as well because it's natural to them, it's an instinct. Working in the rescue field has allowed me to see the difference between a trained horse and one that was left to his own devices, which usually ends up horrible for the later.

[@SPICYJARVIS]

@@kelleysmith5709 You can DEFINITELY teach a stallion manners. I know lots of stallions who are perfectly mannered horses even when surrounded by mares in heat. In my opinion, if your stallion is extremely hot-headed & impossible to control around mares like this, that is a sure sign you either need to a) work on your training or b) geld him. A horse being a stallion is no excuse for dangerous, uncontrollable behaviour like this.

[@Kitsune1989]

@@kelleysmith5709 not at all true. I have a stallion (Andalusian) and I can bareback around mares in heat and all he gets is that more flashy look at me to his movements because he has been taught manners and knows it's not okay to go up to a mare and start harassing her. It's all in training and exercise. But stallions like in the video give stallions a bad reputation. I wouldn't trust mine with mares completely unsupervised and loose but I wouldn't trust any horse regardless of gender to mix with their opposite sex either. (Mares can be just as bad for getting it on.) There should have been signs up saying there was a probably young stallion loose in the field. Could you imagine how much worse this could have been if it was some inexperienced rider who didn't know what to do? Could you imagine some beginner panicking because some strange horse came up and made a nuisance of itself?

God this had my heart racing especially when you were on the ground. Angel mare well handled!!

[@troy3223_]

Was I the only one screaming at this ladies horse to kick the hell outta that stallion 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mrlanesaccount]

Bro on me I was just thinking like why tf didn’t she just punch the black and white horse in the nose once it rode up close enough?? Like I’m not trying to advocate for abusing animals or anything because it’s not something I take lightly but dude if my horse is being attacked by another and I have the chance when it rides up close enough on me to give it a good haymaker in the face while I’m still riding you can bet your ass id do it. The horse would be fine too, such big ass animals it wouldn’t feel like much at all but the horse would get the point that’s for sure.

They look they deal with this everyday That's too much stress on me and my horse

[@badonkadonkybadonkadonk7283]

@@Mrlanesaccount If you punched an in heat stallion on the nose absolutely nothing would happen. She was much smarter putting her mare between her and the stallion. Atleast the mare has the bodyweight to fight the stallion. There has been 2 stallions at my barn and i can tell you that when they get worked up smacking their noses does absolutely nothing, they are ready to receive kicks form a mare to breed them so a humans punch is like a babys slap compared to that😅

[@Rhys_Gacha]

I’ve personally kicked the ever loving shit out of a full grown horse before he wouldn’t back the fuck up and the female was much smaller definitely not old enough but he wanted to. Anyway long story short I round house kicked a fucking full grown male horse and broke 2 of its ribs. Mother fuck should’ve listened when I started yelling and throwing shit at him; he sure as hell don’t go near me now (I don’t blame him tho I did brake his bones) and just for classification I can squat like 300 some pounds last I checked and have achieved lifting up the back of a car on my own so I’ve got some pretty strong legs👌🏻 dis bitch don’t skip leg day! That’s why I was able to match a horse kick. Lol. Edit: oh and they weren’t my horses they were my grandfathers, I don’t personally know a lot about horses but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out when something is about to happen and I was having none of it.😤

I cannot get over what good horses you ladies have! This video was terrifying when I put myself in your place. So glad nobody was hurt!

I like how the horse waited until the rider was off before it started kicking the other horse....that was crazy and amazing at the same time. What a good horse you have there

[@aamiwaami]

Can we just applaud how well the riders handled the situation

[@tipthetube3219]

Too true!

[@createone100]

Expert horsewomen and great presence of mind. The horses were exceptionally obedient and calm under these difficult circumstances. Bravo to all!

[@myagoodness8124]

That was so tense I was holding my breath watching.

I could of used a disclaimer before this video. LoL This scared the Hell out of me Yikes!😬😳 I'm yelling: Open up gate open don't be stuck now!!!!! I'm so glad everyone ended up ok, but dang that was intense!

[@calamityjane7441]

My adrenaline was going watching this, it must of been extremely scary and you handled it well. it could of been very bad

[@R0binClanVideos]

Your horse stayed incredibly calm and collected, and waited for you to get off of her before kicking 🥺 Thats a strong bond.

[@jeanettecoleman-mz7ie]

If the dislikers had ever been around a stallion wanting its way with a horse, the dislikers would know how bloody dangerous stallions can be!!🤬

that mare trying to protect you at the gate and only kicking when you were off impressed me so much. that mare is a saint! you guys handled this so well

That mare knows what she's doing. That stallion was persistent though he kept cutting off your drive line

[@maetrae1770]

The mare was like: IM NOT HAVING A GOD DARN FOAL

[@barbarabrown9269]

I was riding my mare once on a public road. Out of nowhere a stallion broke his crappy fence and started to hassle and run up to my horse. I kept her going, thank goodness she was not in heat. The stallion got so mad he turned into her side and started kicking hard both barrels into her side!! Barely missed my leg. I ran her to a construction site where there were a lot of men. They instantly recognized the problem, magically produced a rope, caught him and tied him to a tree. I scedaddled out of there😮!!!

[@ultra_prism8594]

I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a scary experience!! Good job on your quick thinking, glad those men were able to help 🤎

Glad they were there to help!
