*Edited to add; if I get one more question for a man who’s only obsessed with the fact my horses manhood is hanging out - he literally just took a whiz, I’ll be sure to leave that bit in for you guys next video since you’re so obsessed about it 🙄 For those who don't like reading the description of the video, please read this comment before commenting then as I may be able to answer your question(s) before you need to ask. Also I understand this is social media, and just as ya'll have a right to leave comments you want to, I have the same right to respond to those comments and address questions/concerns. I'm only posting this here so I don't need to comment back to every single comment asking these questions. I understand I don't need to address anything or owe anyone an explanation but maybe, this will encourage someone to think before commenting. :) First off: The horses have plenty of shade. There is a large shelter up by the water that they can all use, along with tree'd areas where they are provided shade. However, they don't care. Wind, Rain, Snow, Sun, they will stand out in the middle of the field rather than the shelter. They have used it, and they do use it. They just choose when they do and do not want to. Sorry, we don't believe in leaving our horses locked up 24/7. We'd rather they live as naturally as possible. Secondly: keep your vulgar comments to yourself. I have deleted so many inappropriate comments. I don't even need to address this but I will. Rudnik had literally just taken a whizz before heading over to Cash. I edited that part out because I didn't think people wanted to see that. Apparently, I should have left it in because the amount of completely vulgar comments I've had to delete is quite disgusting. Thirdly and lastly: Yes, this is totally normal behavior for a horse in a herd dynamic. Believe it or not, Horses DO have a sense of concern and care for their herd mates. Wild stallions will often look out for the young, old, and pregnant in their herd. Not all horses know to go get water - like humans who need reminders - sometimes they need encouragement from a buddy. In the wild, a leader will often ensure his herd is well taken care of and when food and water are scarce, he will also ensure that his herd eats and drinks before he does. So before you start directly insulting people in the comments, maybe educate yourself. Learning to read horses body language can be truly amazing and I wish more people would understand just how complex horses can really be! If you want to learn more, feel free to leave comments with specific questions on body language. All I ask is that you PLEASE be kind!
I can’t believe that post was necessary, people are idiots. As someone interested in animal behavior, I found it very interesting. People believe we as humans are unique in the way we interact morally , but animals that live in social groups (like horses) show what we would call moral behavior if it were done by humans.
@@rudniktheroan great vid! Some folks just don't understand how animals actually behave & need to use their bodily functions as well.... But some are going to troll no matter what
He also did not want to think that he was not loved. Cash needed to know that he still mattered. That is what Rudnick showed him thst he still mattered
@@batmanonholiday4477 Clearly Rudnik had noticed all the horses had been drinking earlier except for Cash. Rudnik checked Cash's exhalation quality for pheromones & other biochemical signals & determined that Cash was in fact probably partially dehydrated & would need some help with heading towards the water. There might also be the Father Ted housekeeper syndrome going on where everyone present must have a cup of tea or suffer the consequences, I know horses can be very sensitive about social etiquette. It's possible that Cash is normally Rudnik's normal drinking pal for example. If filming had continued it probably would reveal that Rudnik in fact persuaded all the horses to have a drink eventually but in the order of current dehydration status.
@@Paul-Nicer58 is that really something common for horses to persuade others to drink? I have no idea, but my first reaction from seeing the video was that the black horse was simply playing or harassing the white one. I haven't see the earlier videos of their behavior, what makes you conclude that "clearly" the black horse "noticed all the horses had been drinking"? Where is the indication that he was checking for pheromones or noticed anything in his herd? I feel its reading too much into the animal behavior

I've been blessed with many horses in my lifetime, until recently. I'm 70 years old and just can't take care of them anymore. I miss them terribly. Sometimes, if I'm out driving around, I'll stop and pet a horse {through the fence} just to get their smell on my hands. I sniff my hands, and it takes me back in time... if only for a moment. Rudnik is dashing, and caring. Thank you for posting this.❤
so sad and sorry you cannot care for them to have, and so thoughtful of you to realize that. I invite anyone who misses horses and lives near me to come and interact when they can. I am very rural in mid south Colorado. In a previous home I used to bring my horses to public parks and go over to the play ground and picnic area and just invite people to say hello or hug them. It was awesome to see people who missed horses and people who had never had the chance to interact up front and personal.
That is so true! I have always adored their smell. Haven't been around them since about 16 years old. Now 68. Whenever my hubby and I are driving in the country and see a horse/s, I have forever told him about their smell. He is a true animal lover too, but can never quite understand. [I've ONLY JUST thought while typing this.] - When I'm on my deathbed, I don't want sad faces, priest murmuring, nor the fragrance of flowers or scented candles. Just drag me into a field with horses, to touch their soft muzzles and inhale their wonderful smell just one last time. [They NEVER leave you, nor you them]. from Australia
nice to hear😊...I am a painter and decorator and I use pure bristle brushes ,they say they are horse hair(hope this is not cruel) but they are the best to use and I love the smell of them especially 😊
So lovely and touching . Years ago, I had two horses, Arrow and Helen. I used to ride on both of them. We always went “out” the three of us. One day when I returned home, the man who took care of them, told me they had done something “indecent”. As usual we continued our trips on weekends. Helen got pregnant, but I’ve been told to go on riding her. When she was heavily pregnant, I did not want to ride her but she always followed us on our trips . When the vet told us the birth is approaching, we did not let her out of our/her property. On a weekend, as usual, I was out with Arrow. He was always glad for our trips. But this time he seemed to behave strange. In the middle of the trip he became suddenly uncontrollable and started a wild gallop with me in the saddle, back home ! When we arrived we found Helen, the vet and Ion, our worker, with a wonderful little foal ! Arrow felt what is happening and returned double quick to Helen and his son ! If this is not love and devotion, what is it ???
This reminds me of a horse I had years ago, who kept running an older mare around the pasture. Evidently, she was on the verge of colic and he was trying to keep her on her feet, or so I was told by the woman who I boarded my horse with. She knew about everything there was about a horse. I learned so much from her, which is why I love channels like yours. You never know what you might learn, simply by observing others. People don't give animals enough credit for their intelligence or their compassion.
It’s so amazing to see them acting on their instincts! The leader of a herd will always watch out for the young, pregnant and old! Most of the time they will ensure they drink first as well but I think Rudnik got too impatient and said “fine you’re on your own dude” 😂
Even though Rudnik is a gelding, I'd say he's becoming the "herd stallion." Stallions are usually a little more aggressive about it, but Rudnik won't take "no" for an answer either. You've got an intelligent, observant horse there. Give him an apple tomorrow!
Sometimes, too,.when a horse is not gelded until later in life, it retains some of the physical and psychological characteristics of a stallion. I had a gelding like that--what a great horse he was.
I had the good fortune to live on a ranch for a few years, with some wonderful Rescue foals from the Canadian Premarin Mares program They were six months old when they arrived. Since they had been sired by Draft Stallions with Draft mares, they were the size of full-grown Quarter horses. Of course they kept growing steadily. They rough-housed with each other, but never fought, gentle and loving. Many nights I would wake at 2 or 3 am, put on my clothes and walk out to join them. When they saw me coming, they would gather at the near rail waiting. We would stand snuzzling nose to nose for an hour under the inky skies with brilliant stars blazing overhead. Great memories.
if it was the way it should be then the male would’ve fucked off and died by now. once there is a herd leader, there is no role for any other male unless they submit (and why the fuck would they) because the leader won’t allow breeding competition….
Just found this channel, cannot put in words how heartwarming to see the beauty of horses and how they care for the older ones. Thank you for educating those of us not priviliged to live near these precious creatures. ❤🐎
I believe it's called "snaking", it's used by stallions in the wild as well to move the herd or herdmates along. Probably can be used by a mare as well, but less common. Mare-only herds have a leader too.
I have two cats that were born feral. Their mom had another litter of kittens and something bad happened. I took out some food because I heard a kitten crying. My two boys came marching toward me side by side of their little brother. Animals have more emotional intelligence than we usually give them credit for.
literally none of that was shown here, if anything it was the EXACT opposite…. it was a fucking power move for the dark horse to be the one to “allow” the white one to drink water, saying “you only have access to this because i let you, i’m the leader here and you will give me the control over you that i want,” it’s also a power move by persistently FORCING him to go over there knowing that with his old age, he won’t be able to fight against it for long. this is a fucking sad video where a male has completely lost his pride and honor and is being bullied in front of the rest of the herd. and with how horses are in nature, they absolutely DO have that sense of self respect, in the same way that male lions do. seems the white one was never made of much though, considering he was never the leader and has always been bitched….. that fucking sucks, the poor thing has literally served zero purpose other than to be the weak, low ranking male, that’s why there shouldn’t even BE this many males in one group. it’s not natural for a reason
@@alidabaxter5849 NO other species sets up systems to protect orphans and the elderly, sometimes at great expense. Many species of mammals murder , including babies, in order to take over a territory. It's not cute and cuddly out there.
You know what, lots and lots of humans are thoughtful and compassionate. Just as thoughtful and compassionate as this horse.However in the wild male stallions kill for mating rights and to protect their herd. People are way too fluffy about the animal world when they compare it to humans. Both can be extremely kind and compassionate and I see that every day with humans, and both can be brutal and cruel. When resources are low both humans and animals, including herbivores will use violence to control territory. this is the truth about animals. the loving and the brutal.These kind of comments are pure imagination. Humans do selfless heroic acts everyday. fox news may not give them credit when they care for the eldery or feed the hungry, or wade into battle with a bully, but they do it anyway. i see this kind of comment on every single animal page. this is one time too many for me. Ive watched a chicken that free ranged and had a great life kill a fledgling sparrow in front of me. I love animals. my roosters would always lead their hens to food and water, but animals are also brutal in the same way humans can be. to think anything else is to be in a delusional bubble.
@@anjilala I do apologise - your response is absolutely correct. It's just that the internet is full of images of animals who have been staggeringly badly treated by humans and I can't stand them any more. It would seem that in certain societies animals are worked to death without care, left in unimaginable pain, tortured - you name it. So when for once I saw this lovely film of a horse caring for an older one I reacted instinctively. I was born during World War 2, my widowed mother and an aunt brought me up with amazing kindness, and when they became elderly and ill I tried to look after them but don't think I was as good to them as they'd been to me. Now that I'm in my eighties and in great pain, I find some people are kind and helpful, and some are not. But animals act not out of kindness or lack of it but out of instinct, and sometimes those instincts are savage, of course. I honestly don't live in a delusional bubble, I was just being emotional, which sometimes I can't avoid.
Thank you for sharing this and illustrating the quiet complexities of herd dynamics. Anyone interested is best served by finding a calm undisturbed group of horses and just watch them from a distance. The more you look the more you will see.
I wish humans had this kind of leadership. A leader who's biologically incapable of betraying his people and the people who trust the leader fully because they know they won't be betrayed.
@@sharpfang There are many types of leaders. Parents are leaders to kids. Bosses are leaders to workers. Teachers are leaders to students. Older sibling can be leaders to younger. And if you understand peer pressure, we can all be leaders to some degree. Please do not think that politicians are the only types of leaders.
@@mick776gold And all of them are compelled by instinct never to exploit their wards, never abandon or betray them? You mean a typical CEO is to be followed blindly by his employees, because he puts their good above all, even shareholders?
Aw thank you for this.....First I thought they were going to fight, but Rudnik looking out and taking care of his elder, gentle but firm and respectfully. Beautiful to see and experience.🐴🐎🐴🐎💖💝🫂🙏😇🎑🏴
He's a beautiful horse, soul. We humans could learn a lot from him and many other animals who express their concern and love for their fellow herd members. Great video catch. Thanks.
That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve always loved horses. I think they’re beautiful and majestic. That’s really neat how he was basically taking care of him to make sure he was OK and stay hydrated.❤
Oh, I think this video is just spectacular. I am enthused for the same reason the videographer is. I hope these videos keep coming. There are children all over the world who can learn from these. Old men like me too crippled to go outside can also learn from such video content. Thank you. Subscribed.
What a wonderful moment, got me all emotional. Rudnik will make a fine leader ! We humans could learn from him on how we treat our elders. Thank you for sharing this moment.
This is so beautiful and moving to me. I also appreciate the voiceover as I love animals but know so little about animal behavior. Thank you for sharing these moments 🤗.
This is wonderful to watch Rudnik's leadership includes caring for the herd too, what a wonderful animal and leader he is! this was very special to watch, don't ever remember seeing anything like this within a herd before.💖
Not to wander too far off topic, but they say wolves travel in packs putting the older ones in the lead to sacrifice themselves if danger arrives, the females & pups are in the center of the pack for protection, and the warriors run the end of the pack to fight for anyone who is in danger. The animal world is, indeed, amazing. Man could take many lessons from the way they treat each other, if they paid attention.
@@marcyking461 That is so true I watched a program on this subject about Wolves and their families, amazing how they and other animals in general have their own set of rules and their own principles of law and order, humans can learn a lot from the animal kingdom.
We had horses when i was a child, about 50 years ago, and this bright back such wonderful memories, i was even remembering the smell. I used to whittle and watch the horses all day from my tree house. This is so nice. Our property looked very similar, so i felt like i was back at the ranch. Thank you.
I've never seen this channel and I am now SO interested. I knew horses had ranking in their herd but I didn't know it was this complex and caring. It's not just about power...but responsibility. I love this!! Thank you for sharing!!! Also how dare people make vulgar comments.. some people have nothing better to do than to spread nonsense.
I'm from West Texas. I wasn't a cowboy, but my brother WAS! He was great at all he did. At almost 34 years old, our Uncle let him "bond" a newborn colt. JD named her "China". She was a beautiful paint. Dark brown and white. Blue eyes. He worked with her for 3 years. She became a VERY smart horse. Very powerful. Rudnick's actions remind me of her. You are very blessed to have this horse. Subbed.
@@rudniktheroan Another story for you. I was the only one, when visiting the ranch (at one time, 440 sections), that could walk into the horse trap with 10 "Mexican broke" cow broncs, and visit with all of them one by one, and not get killed. My brother said I had something special with horses. Kinda like B. When I went out to meet a cattle drive my li'l brother was on in 1969, a man saw my brother racing "Rooster" against my cousin's horse "Epiminio". The man slammed on his brakes, on I-20, and ended up offering my Uncle $30,000 for "Rooster". My Uncle said no. I remember "Rooster" as a blazingly fast quarter horse trained to cut. Heck of a deal. I'm remembering things, watching Rudnick, that I had forgotten. Thank y'all for this channel. Be Blessed.
That was so beautiful to watch. I especially found it interesting that Rudnik, being a gelding, herded his mate to water. I typically think of mares having that responsibility. WTG, Rudnik ❤️🐴
This is such a great thing to see. Those without horses might not understand the importance of what we saw. It was a beautiful thing to see. There was never any real aggression, just one horse looking out for an older member of the heard. Brilliant. It brings tears to the eyes 🙂 Thanks for sharing :-)
Animals never cease to amaze me. Those are some magnificent horses you have there. My uncle rescues horses. I'm not sure exactly how long he's been at it, but my mom has a picture of me sitting on one of his rescues when I was 3 years old, and I'm 49 now.
Wow! This is so beautiful to see how Rudnik takes care of Cash. And Cash finally accepts his help. Comparable to a younger human helping an older one. Elder people are often reluctant to help at first also.
I was raised in the East and don't know much about horses. But I never knew horses would talk to each other like this! I could literally see them communicating! Why do we call them dumb beasts when they're this smart?! I do love all of Nature's creatures though!
The word dumb in original old English translates to mute or speechless. So of course it was used to describe animals. It has nothing to do with intelligence- that’s something which has been happened recently with people incorrectly using the word in a derogatory sense.
Exactly, I posted similar , when he first goes over , you seem them put their heads together, I dont know how , whether it's telepathy between them , but that was a definite conversation, they obviously have even more tells that we can't pick up on when it comes to horses communicating , it almost feels like if you went close you could hear them talking. We don't really know how many species of animals communicate more deeply than we give them credit for , why do we have to believe we should decide if animals live or die just because they affect us , especially when we are encroaching on their territory , this is what makes me think there is some sort of telepathy between animals that we don't understand. This video proves that there is more to animals than just a nuisance or something we take advantage of , most people who have horses love them , and the horses know it , they allow you to ride them as bonding , that's a reward for hard work. We need stronger sentences for people who are cruel to animals imo , it should be classed as murder or whatever the equivalent sentence for the same to humans imo.
This platform you share, is definitely going to help the younger generation learn how to read their horses, as they board them at different facilities. Awesome!....
Great to watch these horses, taking care of each other, you can say The Holy Spirit is everywhere. Even when we don’t see it for ourselves. Glad it pushed Cash to drink, and by example pushed Rudnik It’s amazing. Best wishes ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Whoever makes the hooves move is in charge. I have seen mares do this with other mares and foals, but never this type of beneficial instruction between the boys. It is fun to watch their communication. ❤
really? an old horse being forced to submit because he’s not in shape to fight back is “cool” for you?? do you not understand that male horses INSTINCTUALLY always want to be leaders?? the white horse literally NEVER got that chance and has been bitched his WHOLE FUCKING LIFE like a goddamn embarrassment and that’s somehow “cute” for you????? you’re fucking sick. don’t personify nature so much that you forget what’s truly important to animals: carrying on their bloodline, which for male horses, means being the leader, because only the leader has access to breeding females.
Wow. I don’t know a lot (anything) about horses so that was a very interesting eye-opener. Thanks for sharing. Seeing compassion in action in animals or humans is something we’re all thirsty for.
Such beauty, grace and power . It’s so refreshing to hear how you have understanding with respect to each personality. So many people don’t get it. And it’s clear that these horses are cared for and loved.❤ TY.
Awww that’s so sweet, I was crying happy tears. Animals are so impressive, it’s sad that humans can’t follow their lead. thanks for sharing that special moment. ❤

It’s so amazing to see them acting on their instincts! The leader of a herd will always watch out for the young, pregnant and old! Most of the time they will ensure they drink first as well but I think Rudnik got too impatient and said “fine you’re on your own dude” 😂
Yes that clip was very interesting.
I love this! Rudnik has a good and compassionate heart. We could learn from him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We can learn from all animals!
Absolutely he was helping the old timer, beautiful and amazing 🤩
Rudnik: horse herder and hydration specialist with a fantastic “bedside” manner. Such a beautiful thing to see 😊
Even though Rudnik is a gelding, I'd say he's becoming the "herd stallion." Stallions are usually a little more aggressive about it, but Rudnik won't take "no" for an answer either. You've got an intelligent, observant horse there. Give him an apple tomorrow!
Sometimes, too,.when a horse is not gelded until later in life, it retains some of the physical and psychological characteristics of a stallion. I had a gelding like that--what a great horse he was.
Give him a apple today and everyday
I had the good fortune to live on a ranch for a few years, with some wonderful Rescue foals from the Canadian Premarin Mares program
They were six months old when they arrived. Since they had been sired by Draft Stallions with Draft mares, they were the size of full-grown Quarter horses. Of course they kept growing steadily.
They rough-housed with each other, but never fought, gentle and loving.
Many nights I would wake at 2 or 3 am, put on my clothes and walk out to join them. When they saw me coming, they would gather at the near rail waiting. We would stand snuzzling nose to nose for an hour under the inky skies with brilliant stars blazing overhead.
Great memories.
Aw I love that thank you for sharing 🥰
What an incredible experience that must have been, thanks for sharing.
Love this, TY so much
Well that was very a very special experience to share. Thanks 🙏 that’s honestly lovely
That sounds like Heaven! So happy you got to experience that! 🐎🕊️🙏❤️
great job Rudnik making sure the elder in his herd is taken care of. Thats the way it should be
if it was the way it should be then the male would’ve fucked off and died by now. once there is a herd leader, there is no role for any other male unless they submit (and why the fuck would they) because the leader won’t allow breeding competition….
Just found this channel, cannot put in words how heartwarming to see the beauty of horses and how they care for the older ones. Thank you for educating those of us not priviliged to live near these precious creatures. ❤🐎
Beautiful moment, getting the older horse to go for water because he was worried about him.
That head down, ears back posture is a dominance move. He told old boy that he wasn't playing.
I believe it's called "snaking", it's used by stallions in the wild as well to move the herd or herdmates along. Probably can be used by a mare as well, but less common. Mare-only herds have a leader too.
Wow Rudnick is truly special he took care of the older boy Cash - I love his heart - he is for sure becoming the leader - great post!!!
I have two cats that were born feral. Their mom had another litter of kittens and something bad happened. I took out some food because I heard a kitten crying. My two boys came marching toward me side by side of their little brother. Animals have more emotional intelligence than we usually give them credit for.
Beautiful. He was persistent yet respectful in his care and concern towards Old Boy. ❤
I thought that this was a beautiful video of one horse showing compassion and concern for another. Thanks for sharing
Loyalty
Honor
Respect
Even in the animal kingdom
🥰🥰🥰
Rudnick is a caretaker like some humans are caretakers. Humans are also animals. Even insects are animals.
Especially in the animal kingdom
@@velvetbees That is not what happened here.
literally none of that was shown here, if anything it was the EXACT opposite…. it was a fucking power move for the dark horse to be the one to “allow” the white one to drink water, saying “you only have access to this because i let you, i’m the leader here and you will give me the control over you that i want,” it’s also a power move by persistently FORCING him to go over there knowing that with his old age, he won’t be able to fight against it for long. this is a fucking sad video where a male has completely lost his pride and honor and is being bullied in front of the rest of the herd. and with how horses are in nature, they absolutely DO have that sense of self respect, in the same way that male lions do. seems the white one was never made of much though, considering he was never the leader and has always been bitched….. that fucking sucks, the poor thing has literally served zero purpose other than to be the weak, low ranking male, that’s why there shouldn’t even BE this many males in one group. it’s not natural for a reason
He is such a good boy. Bless them all.
What an example of kindness and awareness of another's need for care. I wish humans were as compassionate as animals.
Humans are also animals…mammals, to be specific.
@@maryrosekent8223 Indeed humans are animals, and all too often they behave more savagely and cruelly than any other species.
@@alidabaxter5849 NO other species sets up systems to protect orphans and the elderly, sometimes at great expense. Many species of mammals murder , including babies, in order to take over a territory. It's not cute and cuddly out there.
You know what, lots and lots of humans are thoughtful and compassionate. Just as thoughtful and compassionate as this horse.However in the wild male stallions kill for mating rights and to protect their herd. People are way too fluffy about the animal world when they compare it to humans. Both can be extremely kind and compassionate and I see that every day with humans, and both can be brutal and cruel. When resources are low both humans and animals, including herbivores will use violence to control territory. this is the truth about animals. the loving and the brutal.These kind of comments are pure imagination. Humans do selfless heroic acts everyday. fox news may not give them credit when they care for the eldery or feed the hungry, or wade into battle with a bully, but they do it anyway. i see this kind of comment on every single animal page. this is one time too many for me. Ive watched a chicken that free ranged and had a great life kill a fledgling sparrow in front of me. I love animals. my roosters would always lead their hens to food and water, but animals are also brutal in the same way humans can be. to think anything else is to be in a delusional bubble.
@@anjilala I do apologise - your response is absolutely correct. It's just that the internet is full of images of animals who have been staggeringly badly treated by humans and I can't stand them any more. It would seem that in certain societies animals are worked to death without care, left in unimaginable pain, tortured - you name it. So when for once I saw this lovely film of a horse caring for an older one I reacted instinctively. I was born during World War 2, my widowed mother and an aunt brought me up with amazing kindness, and when they became elderly and ill I tried to look after them but don't think I was as good to them as they'd been to me. Now that I'm in my eighties and in great pain, I find some people are kind and helpful, and some are not. But animals act not out of kindness or lack of it but out of instinct, and sometimes those instincts are savage, of course. I honestly don't live in a delusional bubble, I was just being emotional, which sometimes I can't avoid.
Thank you for sharing this and illustrating the quiet complexities of herd dynamics. Anyone interested is best served by finding a calm undisturbed group of horses and just watch them from a distance. The more you look the more you will see.
I wish humans had this kind of leadership. A leader who's biologically incapable of betraying his people and the people who trust the leader fully because they know they won't be betrayed.
We do, open your eyes.
@@oldyellerschannel4676 Biden is a leader???? I think NOT!
@@oldyellerschannel4676 You completely trust politicians will never betray you? Seriously?
@@sharpfang There are many types of leaders. Parents are leaders to kids. Bosses are leaders to workers. Teachers are leaders to students. Older sibling can be leaders to younger. And if you understand peer pressure, we can all be leaders to some degree. Please do not think that politicians are the only types of leaders.
@@mick776gold And all of them are compelled by instinct never to exploit their wards, never abandon or betray them? You mean a typical CEO is to be followed blindly by his employees, because he puts their good above all, even shareholders?
Such a wonderful horse is Rudnik. A great leader
That was cool to watch. Thank you for sharing it.
So beautiful to watch. He was making sure the older one gets water.
That’s is such an amazing things to have captured… thank you ❤
Oh, wow. Beautiful horses. Thanks for educating ❤.
There's so much we don't know about how horses think,beautiful creatures,much love from Scotland 🏴
He’s a good boy.💕
Aw thank you for this.....First I thought they were going to fight, but Rudnik looking out and taking care of his elder, gentle but firm and respectfully. Beautiful to see and experience.🐴🐎🐴🐎💖💝🫂🙏😇🎑🏴
He's a beautiful horse, soul. We humans could learn a lot from him and many other animals who express their concern and love for their fellow herd members. Great video catch. Thanks.
I had no idea horses had ranks or awareness like that. What a truly beautiful thing to witness.
im so glad you didnt stop filming too. What an exc eptionally brilliant insight into horse behaviour. Love it!
wow this has to show sentience. He had a thought process of getting the older horse to water and kept working toward that goal. This is incredible
If horses were not sentient at all, they woild not exist... even plants are sentient to a degree.
All animals are sentient lol, if they weren’t they’d be rocks
@@sociallyineptsnapper sentience means being aware that you exist and having actual thought process. Not something animals are usually known to have
Everything is conscious.. To the point that you don't really b want to think about it....yet.
@@YurikRoss that’s Sapience, not Sentience
That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve always loved horses. I think they’re beautiful and majestic. That’s really neat how he was basically taking care of him to make sure he was OK and stay hydrated.❤
So beautiful! Humans, animals and our living Earth are all evolving in these fast times of awakening. I'm inspired every day! Love changes everything!
Fascinating herd dynamics. Rudnik know what he's doing. Thanks for sharing!
That is just so sweet!! This is a great lesson that people can learn about how to treat & care for others!
Beautiful horses and so smart and wise❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, I think this video is just spectacular. I am enthused for the same reason the videographer is. I hope these videos keep coming. There are children all over the world who can learn from these. Old men like me too crippled to go outside can also learn from such video content. Thank you. Subscribed.
See? :) Even horses know that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. :D Good try Rudnik.
I was thinking same thing, wondering if someone was going to say it!
What a wonderful moment, got me all emotional. Rudnik will make a fine leader ! We humans could learn from him on how we treat our elders. Thank you for sharing this moment.
Thank you for posting. I'm glad to have witnessed such a real moment !
That is how a leader moves a horse in his herd good going Rudnik.
Yes exactly!
Such beautiful horses - thank you for sharing this video with all of us. 🥰🐎💖💖💖
Thank you for this wondeful video and for writing out how to interpret the equine communication! My new favorite channel!! 👏👏👏
Fills my heart with joy and love for these beautiful animals.
Absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤
Really beautiful ❤️🐴❤️ Rudnik is amazing 🥰 . Thank you for capturing 🎥 this for us ❤#Horses
This is so beautiful and moving to me. I also appreciate the voiceover as I love animals but know so little about animal behavior. Thank you for sharing these moments 🤗.
What a wonderful experience you got to be witness to! Thanks for sharing!
Niice learning story for me❤ Beautiful horses.
That was awsome to watch! What a incredible horse, so compassionate. Thank you
This is wonderful to watch Rudnik's leadership includes caring for the herd too, what a wonderful animal and leader he is! this was very special to watch, don't ever remember seeing anything like this within a herd before.💖
This was great watching this. Luv Rudnick. Good horse.
Thank YOU so much for sharing something I won't witness in my world. It is Awesome to observe!
So perfectly expressed! Love Rudnik and you, and all you do!❤
That is really cool. Love watching the herd behavior.
Amazing how animals care for each other even helping the older ones. Thank you ❤️🐎❤️
Not to wander too far off topic, but they say wolves travel in packs putting the older ones in the lead to sacrifice themselves if danger arrives, the females & pups are in the center of the pack for protection, and the warriors run the end of the pack to fight for anyone who is in danger. The animal world is, indeed, amazing. Man could take many lessons from the way they treat each other, if they paid attention.
@@marcyking461 That is so true I watched a program on this subject about Wolves and their families, amazing how they and other animals in general have their own set of rules and their own principles of law and order, humans can learn a lot from the animal kingdom.
How wonderful to watch! Thank you for sharing ❤❤
We had horses when i was a child, about 50 years ago, and this bright back such wonderful memories, i was even remembering the smell. I used to whittle and watch the horses all day from my tree house. This is so nice. Our property looked very similar, so i felt like i was back at the ranch. Thank you.
I've never seen this channel and I am now SO interested. I knew horses had ranking in their herd but I didn't know it was this complex and caring. It's not just about power...but responsibility. I love this!! Thank you for sharing!!! Also how dare people make vulgar comments.. some people have nothing better to do than to spread nonsense.
I agree some people just have nothing better to do with their time apparently. But thank you so much! 🥰
It's amazing to witness horses communicating like that.
This was great, wonderful, happy. Thank you.
What a beautiful exchange you caught. What a good leader he will make he’s a wonderful boy!❤🇨🇦
It’s heart warming to witness how they look out for one another, young, old, etc 😢
This is an Awesome Vid!! The horse community never ceases to Amaze me 🥰👍🏼🐎! Thanks for sharing!
Good boy Rudnik!! You could teach millions of humans a very valuable lesson!!!
I'm from West Texas. I wasn't a cowboy, but my brother WAS!
He was great at all he did.
At almost 34 years old, our Uncle let him "bond" a newborn colt. JD named her "China". She was a beautiful paint. Dark brown and white. Blue eyes.
He worked with her for 3 years. She became a VERY smart horse. Very powerful.
Rudnick's actions remind me of her.
You are very blessed to have this horse.
Subbed.
Thank you so much for sharing, I love that story! And welcome to the ‘family’! 🥰
@@rudniktheroan Another story for you.
I was the only one, when visiting the ranch (at one time, 440 sections), that could walk into the horse trap with 10 "Mexican broke" cow broncs, and visit with all of them one by one, and not get killed. My brother said I had something special with horses.
Kinda like B.
When I went out to meet a cattle drive my li'l brother was on in 1969, a man saw my brother racing "Rooster" against my cousin's horse "Epiminio". The man slammed on his brakes, on I-20, and ended up offering my Uncle $30,000 for "Rooster". My Uncle said no.
I remember "Rooster" as a blazingly fast quarter horse trained to cut.
Heck of a deal.
I'm remembering things, watching Rudnick, that I had forgotten.
Thank y'all for this channel.
Be Blessed.
@@Bullzeye1000yds great story♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
So Awesome. What great leadership.
That was so beautiful to watch. I especially found it interesting that Rudnik, being a gelding, herded his mate to water. I typically think of mares having that responsibility. WTG, Rudnik ❤️🐴
This is such a great thing to see. Those without horses might not understand the importance of what we saw. It was a beautiful thing to see. There was never any real aggression, just one horse looking out for an older member of the heard. Brilliant. It brings tears to the eyes 🙂
Thanks for sharing :-)
Wow, that was really cool to see. Thank you for pointing this out. Good job Rudnick.
I wish humans were as empathetic as that towards other less fortunate. Beautiful to watch.
This is amazing! I had no idea horses were so smart and protective of their own kind .
Animals never cease to amaze me. Those are some magnificent horses you have there. My uncle rescues horses. I'm not sure exactly how long he's been at it, but my mom has a picture of me sitting on one of his rescues when I was 3 years old, and I'm 49 now.
99.999% of us send love, admiration and gratitude. This was beautiful and pure.
Hope you can at least ban the broken ones.
Paz y luz 💙🌿
Wow! This is so beautiful to see how Rudnik takes care of Cash. And Cash finally accepts his help. Comparable to a younger human helping an older one. Elder people are often reluctant to help at first also.
I was raised in the East and don't know much about horses. But I never knew horses would talk to each other like this! I could literally see them communicating! Why do we call them dumb beasts when they're this smart?! I do love all of Nature's creatures though!
Dumb as in unable to speak .. as in unable to speak to us
The word dumb in original old English translates to mute or speechless. So of course it was used to describe animals. It has nothing to do with intelligence- that’s something which has been happened recently with people incorrectly using the word in a derogatory sense.
Exactly, I posted similar , when he first goes over , you seem them put their heads together, I dont know how , whether it's telepathy between them , but that was a definite conversation, they obviously have even more tells that we can't pick up on when it comes to horses communicating , it almost feels like if you went close you could hear them talking.
We don't really know how many species of animals communicate more deeply than we give them credit for , why do we have to believe we should decide if animals live or die just because they affect us , especially when we are encroaching on their territory , this is what makes me think there is some sort of telepathy between animals that we don't understand.
This video proves that there is more to animals than just a nuisance or something we take advantage of , most people who have horses love them , and the horses know it , they allow you to ride them as bonding , that's a reward for hard work.
We need stronger sentences for people who are cruel to animals imo , it should be classed as murder or whatever the equivalent sentence for the same to humans imo.
This platform you share, is definitely going to help the younger generation learn how to read their horses, as they board them at different facilities. Awesome!....
Wow I love watching and learning things like this, heart warming stuff
Great to watch these horses, taking care of each other, you can say The Holy Spirit is everywhere. Even when we don’t see it for ourselves. Glad it pushed Cash to drink, and by example pushed Rudnik It’s amazing. Best wishes ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
A horse can lead another horse to water but he can't make him drink.What a good boy.😊
What a moment to capture!! Thank you for sharing ♥️ 🐴
Whoever makes the hooves move is in charge. I have seen mares do this with other mares and foals, but never this type of beneficial instruction between the boys. It is fun to watch their communication. ❤
really? an old horse being forced to submit because he’s not in shape to fight back is “cool” for you?? do you not understand that male horses INSTINCTUALLY always want to be leaders?? the white horse literally NEVER got that chance and has been bitched his WHOLE FUCKING LIFE like a goddamn embarrassment and that’s somehow “cute” for you????? you’re fucking sick. don’t personify nature so much that you forget what’s truly important to animals: carrying on their bloodline, which for male horses, means being the leader, because only the leader has access to breeding females.
Wow. I don’t know a lot (anything) about horses so that was a very interesting eye-opener.
Thanks for sharing. Seeing compassion in action in animals or humans is something we’re all thirsty for.
What an awesome video. I love seeing the dynamic! They care for each other ❤❤❤❤❤
He's a good friend ❤
Such beauty, grace and power . It’s so refreshing to hear how you have understanding with respect to each personality. So many people don’t get it.
And it’s clear that these horses are cared for and loved.❤ TY.
What a beautiful site. Amazing.thank you!
Awww that’s so sweet, I was crying happy tears. Animals are so impressive, it’s sad that humans can’t follow their lead. thanks for sharing that special moment. ❤
That was so cool to see. He went from tough parenting to leading by example. Thx for sharing.
