Updates On Herd Dynamics Of Ransom & Buddy - Day 5 Together

I could too.

Interesting to see how a horse all alone for 8 years can speak horse and learn the herd dynamics yet people spend their lives clueless. Missing all their natural Horse Communications, learning from them, using them to become high horse themselves. Good Boys Buddy & Mr T! Ransom & Belle too!

Just saw video of Mr. T's death. I had to put one down in 1974 and one in 2011. It just about killed me each time. I relived it again with your video and cried through the whole video and know just how you feel. I am so very sorry.

Rick I have enjoyed watching Buddy and Ransom interact. If its ok with Ransoms owners i would and am sure other horse people would send you money to your PO box to pay for the veterinarian to come take care of whatever Ransom needs. Teeth, shots or medicine. Let us know in a video...

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Thanks 👍

[@ninettepage]

@@ThinkLikeAHorse That's a great suggestion by Andy Smith, Rick. Please consider it very strongly, because over the last few weeks us KZbines have become a large, tightly knit herd following everything about your herd! I would personally LOVE to contribute something via your PayPal link once you've decided what you want to have made in memory of Mr T. If I knew my donation would go towards anything to do with Mr T, I'd do it in a heartbeat!! The Great Legend Mr T lives on strong in our memories and hearts.

Buddy appears to be adapting pretty well having his Ransom friend with him. Heart healing.

[@AmyLouiseYT]

It’s kind of like you have Ransom as a “Free Lease”. Still the other peoples horse, but you have full use of him which includes bills for vet, teeth, etc. You have such a great way with the horses. I love seeing the horses be horses and their behaviours. Thank you for sharing Buddy and Ransom’s Journey together

[@peopleddiagram2920]

@@theresa_lili what part of your body has crps?. Mirroring can work extremely well for crps. If for example you have it in the left foot. By putting a mirror in front of your foot and moving your right foot, you can trick the brain into thinking that it's the left foot moving.

[@theresa_lili]

@@peopleddiagram2920 Yes, I do the exercises. How ever as it travels now from ankle to shoulder there isn't much to do. But mirroring with CRPS is the pain I feel on my good leg, or good arm. Or now on my right side abdomen. CRPS is a crazy disease.

[@anjiemarie1]

I'm so happy Ransom is fitting in, I was worried if it didn't work out then he'd have to go back in the small pasture by himself. You take such good care of your horses that Ransom must think he's in heaven and I hope he gets to enjoy it for as long as possible. I'm homebound with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension and I look forward to these videos because I find it peaceful to watch their herd behavior while you explain what we're seeing.

[@pyrografix]

Have been watching your updates on your herd and enjoying them. It's making me reflect on our first horse, a 20yr old FQH that was just the most amazing creature! We had to move our 2 geldings and at the new place was an absolute bully of a gelding. This gelding just terrorized all of the other horses there...until he met our gelding that is. The bully gelding (and yeah, he really was a bully) tried to put our geldings under him in the already established herd. Our old gelding would have none of that! He put that bully in his place and within 2 days, that bully gelding, while still 'boss horse' over the original herd members, could tell neither of my geldings what to do. Watching the dynamics of your horses reminds me so much of this time in our life. Our old gelding was the most gentle, accommodating horse to humans and any kind of baby but he took NO GUFF from any other horse. When we got him, he was with 2 mares and the people treated him like he was less important and that obvious. He acted like he was unimportant to anyone. When he came to realize he had own humans who treated him with the respect he was due, his self confidence sky rocketed and even his previous owners noticed it. When a horse feels confidence in him or herself, it expands to everything in their life. Our old gelding was the most remarkable horse I have ever known. This is just one of so many incredible memories I have of him. He always protected our other gelding as he did his humans in some precarious moments. He never failed to be #1 to us! Watching your videos recently have really brought up a lot of those memories and makes me miss him so much! But it also makes me realize just how much this old gelding taught us about horse behavior.

[@denisej8646]

Beautiful shot of your flag flying. So glad to hear that Ransom is sticking up for himself. Buddy is a good boy, of course!

[@dorenecollins4990]

Rick I'm so happy for you that you have Ransom now for Buddy! I've been watching your Think Like A Horse videos and I noticed how genuinely you are gifted with the skill of taking good care of horses and also cats and bunnies. Not only are you a good police instructor but you are also a good and talented caretaker for your animals. I remember you once said if I was to die and returned as a horse would you want you to be the owner of you. You truly love animals and it is so clear and obvious. Rick I love your Good Luck America and Think Like A Horse videos. I always look forward to watching your videos. Take care Rick and have a great day!

[@aerochicc]

They have made a ton of progress in a short amount of time! That's because Rick knows and trusts them to be horses and work it out.

[@eddymcadams9438]

The Buddy and Ransom show!!! There looking so good.

[@ninettepage]

I just got home at 22:00 from work and was delighted to see a new video! Thank you Rick! Things are absolutely getting better and better between Buddy and Ransom every day, and the highlight for me came at the very end of this video - where they were both standing in the shed when it was raining. How cute is that! Thank you so much for all your time to put these videos together and for posting it on KZbin together with all your comments, which is always a huge education for any horse lover/owner. You could have very easily chosen to document everything about your horses, Mokie and the Bunny Rabbit just for your own records, instead of making these educational videos and sharing it with us so we can all benefit from watching it. It's incredibly kind of you to invest so much time into this. Buddy, Mr T and Ransom you're good boys!

[@scratchgolfer12]

Happy they are improving their distance and glad to see them share the shed Saturday night...wow!

[@shelleyyates6855]

Hi Rick thank you for these video updates on Buddy and Ransom, they're doing great aren't they, I really think that Ransom is loving it there with you and getting a new herd mate at the same time, blimey he couldn't ask for better could he, it's amazing how animals adapt to different circumstances, he's a lovely lad and great company for Buddy and I'm loving all of this education thank you, big hugs to you all xxxxxx

[@her8425]

Ransom does appear to be coming out of himself a bit more now. They're probably keeping a good eye on each other to make sure that you don't sneak a treat to one without the other.😀

[@LRyan-li9wr]

I tend to agree with you on this, I think these horseys most definitely are "attached" on some emotional level with Rick, and that they might get a bit jealous of each other.... But either way, they both seem fairly laid back, they respect each other, Ranson knows he has moved into another dude's territory, and he's grateful :)

[@beentheredoneization]

Rick this serial you're creating just keeps getting more interesting, informative and entertaining . I've watched most content of your other channel but it's only recently I've gotten hooked here as well. Over the years I've enjoyed observing the interaction of whitetails from my tree stands and ground blinds which display some very similar behaviors particularly the interactions between the younger and older bucks on occasion.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Glad you enjoy it! deer and horses both Prey animals, both grass eaters, both flight or fight, all the things with horses work on deer

As I've said before I had no idea their was this much that went on between horses. I just thought they ran around out in the pasture eating grass lol.

I'm glad you said that about horses liking a strong leader, it reassures me that my quarter horse Snickers is beneficial to the herd and not just a bully. I always knew he was good for them because when the neighbors shoot off fireworks on the holidays he just calmly grazes like it's nothing. Meanwhile the panicky horse Ben wants to run around and maybe would hurt himself, but he looks at Snickers and then starts grazing too. I wish I could have you comment on their dynamics!

I love that you're staying out of their new experiences together and not separating or forcing any of their behavior. They need to work most everything out between themselves.

They've been wild probably longer than we've been around, and they survived just fine without us hoomans!

Here's an idea Rick, if you think Ransoms teeth need looking at just have them looked at with the owners permission but at your expense and you never know the owner may offer to pay and appreciate that you're taking good care of their horse, just a thought. Also I was wrong about my gelding stepping up, he was corrected today by the injured mare, so it made me think that she may of let him be head horse while she was in too much pain to watch out for the herd, just an assumption, haha, love watching my guys as much as yours, show us the bite mark on ransom.
