*Edited to add; if I get one more question from 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
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 ???
if we humans used our hearts like horses or whales and dolphins . . . We could create peace amongst us all. This is the stuff that truly makes a difference in a life . . . A beautiful heart and beautiful beings to share it with. What love!
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
@@batmanonholiday4477 Obviously Rudnik wouldn't have concentrated on persuading Cash to drink if another horse was more in need of a drink at the time.
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.
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.
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 agree, finding meaningful videos like this that expand my understanding of the world is such a blessing when it's mixed in with the negative side of social media.
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 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.
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.
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….
@@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.
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 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?
Well… in my experience they are capable of all the emotions, including not being able to tolerate someone in their herd. I studied dressage with a woman who had about twelve school horses, all of them treated with compassion and respect. Two of the mares could not be turned out together or tied near each other because they would fight every time they got the chance. I’m talking about biting and kicking so hard blood was drawn and scars were made. They had only to see each other and ears would go flat to their heads and insults would be squealed. The only time they tolerated each other was in the arena during lessons because my teacher was definitely boss mare!
@@kathleenkrug-byle1199 there is a fierce response from them when defending their herd . . . Spats between members be damned . . . and oddly, I have enjoyed watching the subtle alignments and re-alignments between the members, but the whole of the herd comes first . . . It brings to mind that old saying "you mess with us, you mess with the whole trailer park Humans would have better communities if they exercised more of the herd mentality, to say collective rather than individual Say hi to your neighbor, wave when you pass I remember people waving when I was a kid. We need to wave again. Let's get our herd instinct back in our society
Idk my grandpa had a horse that had some hate in it, especially towards getting shoe’d. I remember seeing grandpa, the farrier, an uncle and some of my grandpa’s friends all come out of the shed bloodied and battered looking like they just stormed the beaches of Normandy.
SO enjoyed this video and your educational and patient comments to those with less understanding and awareness of both animal AND human behavior. I became certified in Equine -Assisted Psychotherapy, and garnered a wealth of experiential knowledge that was, again, both applicable to the benefit of my clients, let alone my own direct relational interactions.
Thank you so much! When I got my diploma in Equine Psychology, I learned so much that I had never known before. I’ve always had a love for understanding and reading equine body language but I truly had no idea just how extensive it actually goes! Horses are truly fascinating creatures!
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
Horses are an amazing animal ❤ I used to volunteer at a horse rescue. They can sense bad people, but when you become more than just a human taking care of them they show you their love. They take care of each other. 2:30 ❤ Thank you ❤🙏
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. ❤🐎
God's love is all over this! I'm so glad that He made horses tend and care for each other the way they do. They have wonderful spirits and they are lovely and fun great animals. We can learn how to treat other people by learning how horses treat others.
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.❤
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.
Leadership is more so about taking care of your own, this is an excellent example of how it’s done . Although they may be domesticated or not, it’s still in the genetic heart and soul of the animal.
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 ❤️🐴
That was not only educational, but beautiful to see that animal interaction. Animals sure could teach humans so much when it come to care and compassion.
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.
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.🐴🐎🐴🐎💖💝🫂🙏😇🎑🏴
Fascinating video! Animals are so much more 'in touch' than we can even comprehend. I know that is true, but it's still quite amazing to see it happen like this. New sub says 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 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 🤗.
That is an incredible act of love and care caught on video!!! You cant tell me animals dont have emotions or love for each other!! Love combined with instinct is a beaitiful thing!!!
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!....
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.
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.
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.
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.

Reminds me of the old adage. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.

Taking care of the seniors! If only humans were as caring!😮
Because humans don't take care of the elderly?

@@Joanne6103-p That's lovely. That's definitely something to be proud of 💚
They are
Don't be that guy that makes this a "humans are the most evil things" video....... Just, don't
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.
Animals have compassion too, sometimes more than their human counterparts.
Abslolutely. 💯 I wish more humans understood that. ❤
Much more than many humans!
More than you ??? Or you just look down on others.
@@kennethward4985I don’t think you spend much time in/with, Nature. It’s over, your head.
and what is the human counterpart of a black horse 🤔...? oh , i get it now
Best part of social media is experiencing these moments. Never would have seen anything like this in a concrete jungle.
I agree, finding meaningful videos like this that expand my understanding of the world is such a blessing when it's mixed in with the negative side of social media.
So beautiful to watch. He was making sure the older one gets water.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I never would have thought that horses would care for each other like that! ❤
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.
He is growing into a leadership role, being aware of those who need his care and acting on their behalf. Great 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
or maybe some peppermints!
Absolutely he was helping the old timer, beautiful and amazing 🤩
It’s heart warming to witness how they look out for one another, young, old, etc 😢
I love this! Rudnik has a good and compassionate heart. We could learn from him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We can learn from all animals!
Beautiful. He was persistent yet respectful in his care and concern towards Old Boy. ❤
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.
Even horses understand the importance of taking care of the elders. Love this ❤
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.
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….
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.
He is such a good boy. Bless them all.
This is amazing! I had no idea horses were so smart and protective of their own kind .
You must be so happy to have been able to get this on video!
Your horses are a great example of respect, love and leadership!
Rudnik: horse herder and hydration specialist with a fantastic “bedside” manner. Such a beautiful thing to see 😊
Such a wonderful horse is Rudnik. A great leader
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 had no idea horses had ranks or awareness like that. What a truly beautiful thing to witness.
That was cool to watch. Thank you for sharing it.
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?
Proof that Horses love, they may experience fear but never hate.
Well… in my experience they are capable of all the emotions, including not being able to tolerate someone in their herd. I studied dressage with a woman who had about twelve school horses, all of them treated with compassion and respect. Two of the mares could not be turned out together or tied near each other because they would fight every time they got the chance. I’m talking about biting and kicking so hard blood was drawn and scars were made. They had only to see each other and ears would go flat to their heads and insults would be squealed. The only time they tolerated each other was in the arena during lessons because my teacher was definitely boss mare!
@@kathleenkrug-byle1199 there is a fierce response from them when defending their herd . . . Spats between members be damned . . . and oddly, I have enjoyed watching the subtle alignments and re-alignments between the members, but the whole of the herd comes first . . .
It brings to mind that old saying "you mess with us, you mess with the whole trailer park
Humans would have better communities if they exercised more of the herd mentality, to say collective rather than individual
Say hi to your neighbor, wave when you pass
I remember people waving when I was a kid. We need to wave again. Let's get our herd instinct back in our society
Idk my grandpa had a horse that had some hate in it, especially towards getting shoe’d. I remember seeing grandpa, the farrier, an uncle and some of my grandpa’s friends all come out of the shed bloodied and battered looking like they just stormed the beaches of Normandy.
@@AppalachianMountaineer1863Thank you for making my day, I had a good old chuckle about all those men!
SO enjoyed this video and your educational and patient comments to those with less understanding and awareness of both animal AND human behavior. I became certified in Equine -Assisted Psychotherapy, and garnered a wealth of experiential knowledge that was, again, both applicable to the benefit of my clients, let alone my own direct relational interactions.
Thank you so much! When I got my diploma in Equine Psychology, I learned so much that I had never known before. I’ve always had a love for understanding and reading equine body language but I truly had no idea just how extensive it actually goes! Horses are truly fascinating creatures!
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
It's amazing to witness horses communicating like that.
Thank you for posting. I'm glad to have witnessed such a real moment !
Horses are an amazing animal ❤ I used to volunteer at a horse rescue. They can sense bad people, but when you become more than just a human taking care of them they show you their love. They take care of each other. 2:30 ❤ Thank you ❤🙏
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. ❤🐎
That is just so sweet!! This is a great lesson that people can learn about how to treat & care for others!
I wish humans were as empathetic as that towards other less fortunate. Beautiful to watch.
Fascinating herd dynamics. Rudnik know what he's doing. Thanks for sharing!
God's love is all over this! I'm so glad that He made horses tend and care for each other the way they do. They have wonderful spirits and they are lovely and fun great animals. We can learn how to treat other people by learning how horses treat others.
im so glad you didnt stop filming too. What an exc eptionally brilliant insight into horse behaviour. Love it!
He’s a good boy.💕
That is how a leader moves a horse in his herd good going Rudnik.
Yes exactly!
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!
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.❤
Fills my heart with joy and love for these beautiful animals.
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.
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
Leadership is more so about taking care of your own, this is an excellent example of how it’s done . Although they may be domesticated or not, it’s still in the genetic heart and soul of the animal.
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 ❤️🐴
Good boy Rudnik!! You could teach millions of humans a very valuable lesson!!!
That was awsome to watch! What a incredible horse, so compassionate. Thank you
There's so much we don't know about how horses think,beautiful creatures,much love from Scotland 🏴
This is the 2nd video I’ve seen today of amazing horses behaving like humans. God they’re glorious!
Yup, they say "acting like animals", but we humans can learn a thing or two from animals if we stop acting like humans.
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 💙🌿
Oh, wow. Beautiful horses. Thanks for educating ❤.
This was great watching this. Luv Rudnick. Good horse.
Just proves the old saying, ´You can lead a horse to water but you can´t make it drink!´ Aw bless.
😂😂😂😂❤
But he just did!! 😅
I was looking for this joke. I would have been very disappointed if no one had already made it
Yeah I was going to say it proves the old expression wrong lol.
@@ChildOfDarkDefiance me too. lol
That was not only educational, but beautiful to see that animal interaction. Animals sure could teach humans so much when it come to care and compassion.
Thank you for sharing that. You have beautiful animals. They give you such joy.🇨🇦
A horse can lead another horse to water but he can't make him drink.What a good boy.😊
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.
That is really cool. Love watching the herd behavior.
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.🐴🐎🐴🐎💖💝🫂🙏😇🎑🏴
Fascinating video! Animals are so much more 'in touch' than we can even comprehend. I know that is true, but it's still quite amazing to see it happen like this. New sub says Thank you!
Wow, that was really cool to see. Thank you for pointing this out. Good job Rudnick.
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, wonderful, happy. Thank you.
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 🤗.
That is an incredible act of love and care caught on video!!! You cant tell me animals dont have emotions or love for each other!! Love combined with instinct is a beaitiful thing!!!
Really beautiful ❤️🐴❤️ Rudnik is amazing 🥰 . Thank you for capturing 🎥 this for us ❤#Horses
How wonderful to watch! Thank you for sharing ❤❤
Absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤
What a beautiful video of nature and the wonderful herd mentality of horses.
This is such an awesome thing to capture and share. Great example of their natural social complexity, always nice to see horses in a herd.
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!....
So Awesome. What great leadership.
What a beautiful exchange you caught. What a good leader he will make he’s a wonderful boy!❤🇨🇦
THanks for sharing this video was really cool to see, Loved seeing him taking care of the older one and making sure he got ot water. :) loved it
Thank you for this wondeful video and for writing out how to interpret the equine communication! My new favorite channel!! 👏👏👏
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 moment to capture!! Thank you for sharing ♥️ 🐴
Terrific! What a demonstration of good and decent horse sense.
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.
That’s is such an amazing things to have captured… thank you ❤
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.
Beautiful horses and so smart and wise❤❤❤❤❤
So good of Rudnik to care about the water needs of Cash, and get him to go towards the water. 👍🏼
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!
So cool to see. I do not know horses very well. They are amazing, beautiful animals.
He's a good friend ❤
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.
They are far from dumb! I think some like to call them that so they can do as the Want to them!!! Those are Miserable sob's.
