We don’t have many herds left but I’m glad my fiancé got to see wild horses for the first time!

[@carolwright7503]

Glad you were able to see these beautiful horses and pull over to share❤

[@betsyward7915]

I could watch them all day. Very special sight ❤.

[@pc-gt4st]

Awww sweet pony ❤ thanks for sharing, there were so many of them, living wild and free ❤

[@bertygonzalez6683]

Tell your fiancé that he is privileged to witness the most beautiful moment of the wild horses with their little ones in tow ❤️

[@PatriciaCorkell]

Thanks for showing them to us. They are beautiful and I'm glad B got to enjoy the sight of them with you.

[@louiseharris7937]

Beautiful! I would love to see that in person!❤

[@suek.1507]

Same.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

What a glorious sight! Thank you for sharing!

[@trishgilbert6342]

I once saw a heard of Mustangs East of Reno Nevada. Ironically, not far from the freeway exit for Mustang, NV. It was the only time I saw any of those wild horses over the several years that i worked all over Nevada.

[@julieobrien4056]

I have never seen any wild horses, even though there is supposedly a very large area of them north of me here in Nevada. That would be so cool! I’m glad you and B were able to watch them for awhile together. That little black baby was sooo cute!!

[@shannondominguez9725]

Oh my heart 🥹the Alberta wildies are magical!! I’m so glad that you shared them with B (&us)it really drives me crazy that given just how many predators Canada has from wolves bears & cougars only a very small number of foals actually survive & yet representatives in the government want them gone,the predators are actually doing a pretty good job in keeping everything balanced. I just wish the wild horses we have in the states were treated better our AZ Alpines have faced roundups(as has so many other herd across the country in different HMA’s but living in AZ I feel deeply connected to the Alpines of the Apache forest,my friend rescued 2 of them)a specific contractor working to get them sold into the slaughter pipeline,a massacre shooting in 2022(perpetrators still haven’t been arrested)& even worse “rescues” who claim to care only to fundraise for them & abandon them back into the pipeline later,it’s ridiculous. I’m grateful for the organization HAWS who has been documenting the different bands for years and have also rescued several foals in need while fighting to keep these horses wild and WITHOUT birth control (in many cases I think it does help when done correctly)but for these guys I just don’t think it’s necessary.🐎🤗🧡

[@Andrew-lz8lz]

Beautiful, nature at her best, Rudnik would have loved to see them, his tail would be up in the air, and him snorting like a dragon, and they would have all replied, "Hey there Rudnik, we miss you boy, you have a great time with the humans"

[@TCFire-i4c]

Wow! Thank you for this, I got goosebumps! ❤

[@Pielededrac]

I love to watch animals in the wild, very interested in behaviors........I hope you and the little one are well..........😘😍

[@Nancy-mi3xe]

HAWS in Alberta, rescues widl foals, and has some great footage of the horses in the wild. They have a website and videos on KZbin.Also, the Camiles out of Kamloops do the same and have a website. When I was a kid I was part of Wild Horse Annie's letter writing campaign here, in the USA, to protect wild herds. Now the BLM has round-ups and auctions horses regularly to keep herd sizes in check. They are proposing culling herds in Alberta, and giving mares birth control. But it seems to be to benefit cattle ranchers, not to maintain herd sizes. They're claiming the wild horses are eating down the natural vegetation, but it looks in the film more like deer, elk and other grazers are eating most of it. Also, those horses have ben surviving without man's help for 400 years.....

[@Diane8348]

@@Nancy-mi3xe i was just going to mention the wild horses of Alberta that the AB province is trying to cull/destroy 😢 so glad these ones are protected.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

@Nancy-mi3xe - Thank you for the links!

[@ronsamborski6230]

I recently watched a PBS special about the wild mustangs of the American West. Wild Horse Annie was featured in part of the documentary. It’s quite the dilemma that the wild mustangs are having in competition with grazing livestock. They are fascinating animals, for sure.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

A BC horse trainer I follow has rescued some BC Wildies (captured in roundups). One was 3 when he got him, the other 2 were 11 months old. The oldest is now 6, the middle is 3, the youngest is 2, and their herd behavior is slightly different from the fully domesticated horses. They all get along, and, for the most part, horse behavior is horse behavior. But there are a few things they do when it comes to eating & drinking that are different. Their progress as domesticated horses has been fun to watch.

[@suek.1507]

I will admit that I'm jealous. They are so incredibly beautiful. Sigh. ❤

[@rudniktheroan]

Something so magical about seeing untouched horses in their natural living ♥️

[@suek.1507]

@rudniktheroan Most people do not understand my overwhelming love for horses. They are magical, beautiful animals. ❤️

[@jambcom6519]

They are so beautiful! Never saw them “ in the wild” like that,😀😀

[@JuttaFitzmaurice]

What a special video. Thank you

[@richardgreen1383]

I also watch the videos posted by the Saving Alberta's Wildies Society (SAWS) they track the individuals and herds by trail cameras which also pick up bears and wolves. If a foal is in trouble and deemed it won't survive if left they rescue it and let it live out it live on protected acreage.

[@Tiewaz]

Oh, those babies are so adorable. 💖

[@margaretspanke1865]

Would love to see them in person.

[@marilynmerry6080]

It hurts my heart that wild horses aren’t as protected as bison are 🐎❤️🙏

[@dmgibbs1997]

Those wild horses are a beautiful sight! Out of curiosity, have you ever experienced a wild horse coming to you?

[@TieDyeVikki]

When I was a kid, our family was vacationing in Chincoteague and Assateague, VA... now granted, those ponies aren't truly wild, but... one hot afternoon we left the beach and were in a paved parking lot loading our car, and a single pony slowly came up to us looking miserable and dehydrated, so we poured some water from our cooler into a hat, and it gratefully drank all we had. I don't know why it was alone, why it was in a parking lot, or why it couldn't find its own water, but I'll never forget that.

[@rudniktheroan]

Not really ‘Wild’ but I adopted a feral mare years ago who wouldn’t approach humans. So the first time she walked up to me it was truly magical. But I’ve never approached wild/feral horses like these

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

Wild horse herds you can really see the dynamic in the heard you can tell who the head mayor is very interesting to watch

[@rudniktheroan]

I LOVE watching herd dynamics of wild/feral horses and seeing how it plays into domesticated herd. There really is no difference but you can learn so much about why our horses are the way they are!

[@poyznelf]

I watch Stable Horse Training's channel. He has a three BC Wildies. They are wonderful horses with such great personalities. Maybe not the prettiest but, just sweet and playful. In the US they are under management by the Federal Bureau of Land Mgmt. The BLM does horrible things to move them and limit their numbers

[@Nancy-mi3xe]

"A mare can typically be bred back very soon after giving birth, often during her first estrus cycle called "foal heat," which usually occurs within 6 to 12 days post-foaling, while her foal is still nursing; this means she can be bred back while still lactating." from Yahoo. I looked it up cause I knew a mare could be bred back quickly but wasn't sure how fast or if she still had a nursing foal....

[@TonyGalla-kw4hw]

I am one with all animals.

[@margueritepeaden3445]

I can’t comprehend someone who could slaughter these beautiful wild animals. There are so few left. It just makes no sense. People can be so cruel to animals and to other people. It makes me wonder why they are so broken that they can do that.

[@Clare0724]

I love seeing wild horse herds. I hate what they're doing to them here in the States. It is incredibly sad and infuriating

[@TieDyeVikki]

I've seen some good documentaries on the subject on PBS.

[@Clare0724]

@TieDyeVikki They have some really good ones and I think National Geographic has done some as well

[@ClareStiebeling]

I love your videos, where are you located please? And do you have a place to keep him at your house? I just started watching your videos but I have always loved horses and how majestic they are, hope you are doing well with the baby❤🙏

[@lapsedluddite3381]

@ClareStiebeling - Beyond letting us know they are in Canada, they wisely keep their location private. Sadly the internet attracts too many unsavory types, and they do have a family to protect.

[@rudniktheroan]

Yes unfortunately we don’t like to give specifics especially when posting content like this. Far too many evil people in the world who would take advantage of the information 😢

[@ClareStiebeling]

@@rudniktheroan I understand the older I get the less I want to be around people, but I Don't know anything about boarding horses and such, I just love them, I am disabled and my TV is my life, so I have found You Tube and live what I am leaning God Bless you🙏🙏🙏

[@gypsyfizzy]

I can't believe some people hunt these horses! What's wrong with humans! 😡 I love that they're untouched and mostly protected. Do their feet just naturally wear down?

[@julieobrien4056]

I have wondered about their feet too.

[@rudniktheroan]

Yes! The terrain is a lot rougher in the wild. Between the rock and hills they are able to keep them better managed than horses on lush pasture

[@jevans4219]

It is a shame land is more valuable than animals, cows sheep, ect, but horses bison, and here in Oz, kangaroos have their land taken away, so how are they to live, survive. Thanking all rescue groups, Rspca, we are the ants of the earth . 😢

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Horses are an introduced species, and in the wild can cause serious harm to the environment, and yes they are a beautiful animal.
