Watching Baby Horses With Their Moms - Lead Mare Comes Over To Warn or Get Pets

[@kokoro37]

So cute. Look at that lead mare. Protecting her herd AND getting all the attention...that's a smart horse.

[@Ullabrittnielsen]

My friends crack on me for sounding like an idiot around animals, especially horse babies. You go, Rick, with that awesomely sweet talking to horses!

[@karherineware3508]

Cuteness overload! Love those little babies. Interesting how it took a bit to figure out who was top mare, but it became crystal clear once revealed. Cool.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

Thank you! 😊

[@juliepaska1223]

Rick making horse noises is so cute 😂

[@KingsMom831]

Julie Paska equivalent to the sound of a baby’s laugh, for me anyway. Best sound in the world!

I still don't know how I found this channel, but there's lots of great info for a non-horse person. :) And those guys are absolutely adorable.

That palomino mare with her foal just kill me with their devastating cuteness. Another great video Rick! I also learned more about hooves by reading the other comments on here (so like the others I noticed the mare's hooves at 5:00) and watching your videos. When my wife and I were younger and were first learning to ride we learned how to clean hooves properly and so on, and did this every ride, but neither of us were taught to look for "trouble" spots or examine the hoof for overall health as all of that was left up to the farrier who visited every five weeks. Now I just wince at the thought of how little we knew and how much we have learned. Thank you again Rick for encouraging such excellent all-around horsemanship

[@jessorton4771]

you dont trim pregnant mares hooves late on in the pregnancy as it can lead to a miscarriage

[@trytohelpthem1512]

Once again you give us such a warm and informative video and we thank you Rick. Just as I've said here and your great cop and gun channel THINK LIKE A COP you could discuss earthworms and we would so enjoy it. Please more of these foal videos because you give us such information and like you I just adore foals. A quick question Rick. Our Father bought our first horse in 1964 and she had been bred. To make this very short the foal had the same great personality of his Mom. At 14 and 13 my sister and I saddle broke him at 2 although not for ridding but just so he wouldn't be difficult to handle which he never was. They as all my horses were kept i.n pasture and the yard so had constant contact. Rick he never bit kicked or bucked his entire life and neither did his sweet Mom. He did like to taste and. feel with his baby mouth but only as a young foal. Whenever we took a blanket to sit and watch him and his Mom graze we had to take two because he would paw up one and lay on it next to us. His Mom was only three when he was born. Rick do you think their being so young is why both made such outstanding trail horses. They were put in stalls at night because we lived on a major highway and my father was afraid they might get in highway and killed. if we slept late Mom let them out and .fed them. Was all this typicalyoung horse behavior or because both were raised in our yard and constantly petted. We knew nothing of imprinting and only enjoyed them. They could go to pasture at will and did. Please don't think we were trying to dress them in anything pink lol we just loved them as the very young girls we were.

[@ThinkLikeAHorse]

+tryto helpthem the more people contact the better for horses, kids are not as control freaks as adults,kids are not afraid to get hurt like adults are, horses trust kids more since they have not learned to so smart and sneaky and think they are so great, all of that makes a horse feels comfortable and trust more.

[@trytohelpthem1512]

Thank you for all your time in answering this Rick. This has been in my mind for over 50 years as she was born in 65. Your answer also made realize that was the key to rehabing my horses especially Tasha my last. She was actually almost dangerous to be near when we first got her. In less than four months my daughter and I rode to her last stable that had banned her thus with all her problems caused her to be sold as meat price minus shipment. As we rode up one of the trainers complimented that she moved like a Tb. I then told she was Thunder Mist her pacer harness racing name. Several got really nasty as she had been standing perfectly still and so quiet not the hyped crazed horse I received. As I got down she never moved I was going to show her tatoo when a trainer hollered it was her he would recognise her very flat heels anywhere. She wore the scars on both sides of her very soft mouth from the racing bit as well the boney ridges across the top of her nose from the stud chain. She was never ridden the last 14 years of her life because I had injured my spine so I would sit with her while she ate or slept. At first i would spend entire days with her. I also saddle broke her and she never tried to hurt me the many years I had her and she died at 29. Thank you again Rick

[@kerriwolfton3195]

tryto helpthem I'm sorry you lost her but you gave her a home instead of a terrible death. Thanks for taking her in.

[@gerrycoleman7290]

Earthworms.................earthworms.............I am ready for a lecture on earthworms from Rick!

[@louisegogel7973]

@@trytohelpthem1512 What a blessed journey you and that horse have had, both healing and connecting deeply it seems. I am sorry about your back injury. I hope you have found ways to also clear the trauma of it in body and mind.

[@jaymalamute5730]

Not only are these videos adorable, Rick's descriptions of all their actions make them educational!

Lovely mares and babies.

[@xavier3961]

Barnwitches be like, "Ric knows nothing about horses. They are showing him their butts and he is not correcting them. Then he allowed that mare to bully the other, that mare should be locked up or put down...along with that sexist Ric too." Lolz Foals are Beautiful!!

That was too cute!

They are so cute I just love foals and there face markings are just adorable

[@krazykaleb3267]

Horses are great parents. They are so protective of their little ones

[@rabbitphobia]

Has anyone else noticed how beautifully cute most animals offspring are I swear even some baby turtles are cute and they're cold-blooded. I don't know what it is but just look at these baby horses and puppies man too cute, I love them all.

[@erissablackthorn9444]

In my coastal town there is a pasture of horses uphill next to promenade/walkway by the beach. Ive noticed theres a stallion and a few mares and foals. They are mainly out from spring to autumn.

[@sarahesen3388]

I'm so glad to see you are still making all these excellent videos, Rick! I've got a lot of video catching up to do and this was a lovely one for me to start with. All those mama and babies are so damn gorgeous!!

[@BorkingHorse]

Oh how cute are they 💕 beautiful

[@liciaspencer9955]

Now I understand, I used to walk my dogs out in the country when they were able. I used to walk by a pasture of huge red horses. When they saw me they would all run to the fence, and I would feed them grass. I told them they only liked me for my grass, hahaha 🤣. One huge red horse wasn't letting me feed all of the horses, and would chase them away and I thought was being mean. Now I understand they are the leader of the group. Thank you for your teachings on horses.

[@abbydelorey1760]

I love how well you treat your horses and how much space you give them. A place around where I ride there's a cheif of police who owns three horses with 1 acre of land. He just throws the hay on the ground in their poop and gives them a small shed that barely even one horse can fit into, but because he's the cheif nobody can do anything it's horrible what people an do to such beautiful creatures

[@steeltoeslippers1731]

OMG, that first foal that came up to you...I wants it!!! 💕

[@MsPinkpeppermint]

Beautiful, thank you.

[@egagnon9994]

Rick, I recently moved and where I live there are quite a few horses around so soon I'm going to take my bike to ride and visite!... I was just driving with a friend today and I saw these four beautiful horses… Shiny coats, perfect condition!... Can't wait to go visit those beautiful creatures!...

[@kashmereart9330]

Gosh that's just one pasture filled with cute! What a sweet video!

[@cherishelf8759]

Adorable. You certainly read her well.

[@laus7504]

Babies! And mothers. I love the animal behavior videos most of all! Plus these cute babies are a bonus. Well, then Buddy and Mr. T went and grabbed my heart.. Came across an 8 yr old video where you're demonstrating how to sit in the saddle right and the horse will walk, trot, gallop riding Buddy. Seeing how he had the same personality then as now was pretty cool! What a cute guy! LOL

[@debbiebillings8192]

I really like how you talk to the horses

[@elinoirsmythe224]

Rick neighs and snorts - "Hey, maybe the two-legged creatures are evolving - this one seems to be mimicking our language!"

[@breyerbell3766]

That lead mare was awesome, but my favorite was the protective palomino.

[@theprancingpony6075]

Near where we live there is a field of Shetlands and there was some foals so I knelt down and they all came up to me. They were so cute but they wanted to see if I had or was food. They nibbled me. Hehe. The Shetlands were lovely and now whenever I come to see them they all trot over to see me. 🐴

[@hangoookyujah]

I really enjoy your herd videos, in particular the foal Vids, so much. They are wonderful and always full of so much information. Please keep up the good work and keep adding herd stuff.

[@indiesmajic]

The mum looked so confused as if she was thinking "WTF this guy understands me, what is going on here?"

[@ricfly52]

Unless you breed horses, seeing baby horses is very special. I was raised on a ranch, and in my 22 years there, I saw 2 baby horses or colts. I helped my dad with both after they were born. So special Rick. Thanks for the video.

[@DCogsdil]

Rick, I got an idea. Why not ask if you can film foals life in the pasture and in exchange you could put their info up on your youtube channel if anyone spots a foal they would like to purchase. I really enjoy watching the baby's and in a herd. Awesomeness to the owners for letting them be in herds and NO HALTERS on! A++ debs from Texas

[@TheOne60388]

[@lazaviagaines1286]

Another great video CHEERS...Buddy...Mr T...Rick...you are THE BEST 💙 💙 💙

[@phantomsoulplayer]

For those worried about the one mare's hooves they're not great but we have no idea about the situation. For all we know farrier came out the next day. She could be a fast grower or have thin walls. With added weight from a foal things tend to get out of hand. It could also be that she normally goes in shoes and they were pulled to protect the foal in case of an accident which is also common. Never know the full story :)

[@cynthiabowers3109]

I have a question after, I sold my horse and the folks bred her ( she was about 7 years) pure bred Appaloosa. I don't know what breed of stud they used but, they had to put the foal down because, it only had 3 legs. How often does this type of thing occur in any horses?

[@TehNemoz]

Sassy mama is so pretty :D That's her name now. I've never really spent time with horses, I never realized how much they communicate or that they really even did. It's very subtle but I get it! ( they're kind of like big dogs!...kind of)

[@kendricwindham8708]

Very cute

[@wavelengthrecords-1]

How cute! I just went and looked at baby horses the other day! Hey Rick, may I ask, what is a good way to tell mares and stallions apart other than the obvious?

[@louisegreen5228]

Stallions have bigger cheeks and crests (necks) than mares and because of their testosterone, they also have shinier coats. (But always double check underneath for confirmation, haha). Another more subtle way if they’re further away and playing, is that the stallion can rear up and stay upright for longer than the mares (or geldings). This is because of their centre of gravity.

[@Katt30]

Man, these videos make me want to up and move to Texas, lol. I would love to be able to drive along freeways and see horses XD

[@smeeze8979]

I love how he just ignores everyone driving past and plays just with the foal

[@charaplaysgta3903]

They're so cute I support this channel because I'm in love with horses and I do not except The abuse some horses have been put through when I see a horse that's going to be used I cry sometimes because knowing that horse had to go through so much pain makes me feel pain makes me feel the same pain they felt . You are a truly amazing human being you're smart and caring and kind that only you know a lot about horses but you know what people do to them That's why support and watch this channel so much
