Hon they are called halters not harness. And you can’t show fear around horses or any animals, they can sense it and become fearful too. They don’t know what you are scared of so they become scared too. Be strong, be fearless and you will do fine. That’s why little kids do so well with animals, they have no fear.
Great suggestion. Clever Cowgirl started her channel to help others learn how to care for rescue horses. She just rescued a starving horse and is using the UC Davis protocol to refeed it. Thanks for taking on this challenge! Look forward to the journey. Subscribed.
The clever Cowgirl and Free Spirit Equestrian are great women with a lot of experience and commitment to horses. I am happy for you and wish you and your horses all the best. Greetings from Germany
You guys are awesome, and y'all have good heart's and a childlike innocence 😂. Always remember, animals respond to love, and it's clear you guys love animals. There's a ton of knowledge available for you out there. Monty Roberts and Clever Cowgirl really love horses and are exceptional horse folks. Love your attitudes. God bless guys, and your beautiful horses. I'm Lebanese, so I adore my Arabians. But any horse lover will tell you.. it's not possible to love one breed. It's the horse, the animal, that's just so irresistibley beautiful.❤👍💪❤️😊
Congrats, you can do it. I only have one suggestion, find someone who already has horses, and have them walk you through some of the basics, join a chat, ,( books dont tell you the nitty gritty stuff..or " tricks" to owning horses, you will be fine , not any horse peson was born an expert..,lol like i said , a good way to learn reach out, tell your story, and im sure there will be nice average people ( not pro horse trainers) that will help you learn and be nice about it and be glad to help. Much love, enjoy your new family members
They need to see a veterinarian asap vaccinations, worming and overall checkup. Hay start simple feeding, plus farrier work!! FARRIER IS VERY IMPORTANT.
That is awesome. Our neighbors do riding lessons and run a horse rescue. They have 17 horses. They often run horses on half our property, they mow down our pasture for us. So in a yr and a half I went from afraid, to a lot more relaxed. They will follow me on my walks, and just love attention. My neighbor told me to think of them as toddlers. You cant let them get away with stuff.
Right front knee on the black looked a little swollen. Saw you pry the clod off, but she still seemed a bit gimpy. That was a good sign when they let you handle their hooves.
You need tack, grooming supplies, food and plenty of water, hay. They need to eat all day to stay warm in the winter, or blanket them. Congrats on your new horses. They’re beautiful!
New here. There is a channel called “Sam Van Fleet” that I highly recommend. She works unhandled mustangs. I have watched a lot of horse channels and Sam explains horse body language and how to do things safely. Samantha has playlists for each mustang, and so it’s easy to watch them progress. I started riding in high school for 4-H in 1974. Sam may be the most gifted, kindest trainer I have seen. Another channel The Clever Cowgirl does an excellent job explaining feeding, types of hay, hoof care along with training. RUclips recommended your channel, I subscribed. I love the outdoors, gardening so I think I will enjoy watching. Glad the horses have a new home. I would do vet first, let them recommend farrier. Your vet should know of a trainer that could show you how to handle them safely. It’s important so neither the horses or you all get hurt. They look like very nice horses. A little working with them and they will come around.
By the way, after reading comments, you have been given a lot of great advice and tips here. Don’t get discouraged. The horses all seem to be pleasant in temperament and with daily interaction and a few treats they will come around quick. I worked at a saddlery way back and we refurbished saddles as well as made custom ones. We would scrub mildewed saddles with a stiff brush and Murphy’s oil soap, then rub kerosene into the leather, followed by Lexol leather dressing. Yep, Kerosene. 50 years ago, there was an old saddle cleaner that was just kerosene. Just be sure critical parts like girth, straps are not dry rotted so have lost strength and more apt to break.
Do not shave them in winter, that is their winter coat and they need it! The black horse is limping and has a deformed front right leg that needs vet attention as soon as possible. They should all have their teeth checked in case they need to be floated. Their feet look good. All they need is a good brushing to get the burrs out and their feet picked. They do not need to be bathed in winter, again just a good brushing. Good luck with them lol, but they will be fine, once you start working with them, it will all come back to them. When working with them, put the halter and lead rope on them so you have control. And work them in a small enclosure, not in the pasture. Also they are used to being together and I think the white mare in the boss of them. If you try to separate them they will not be happy and they will freak out like when the black one was left in the trailer. Again good luck!
WD40 will help get the cockleburrs out of their mane and forelocks and tails. Just don't spray it in their face They may not like the hiss and might slap at you. To cold to bath them and use detangler. "Cowboy Magic" is the best. Good luck with them. The black one does need the RF knee checked.
That was so very cool! I was raised across the dirt road from a farm that had two draft horses, and our neighbors to the north of us also had two saddle horses. Miss them something fierce.
You have to gain their respect and show them respect as well. Patience is huge! Grooming is a great tool as well! The horse learns to trust you. Trust is huge, too. Don't let them down. Good luck, you two! ❤
Well.... this is obviously a new chapter... and a whole category of new content for horse lovers. It seems Mark has a good bit of experience working with horses... otherwise, there would be very little hope for these beautiful animals. I'm glad you are venturing this way AND sharing it with us. It's going to be cool to see how you integrate the horses into your busy routines.
I love the carillon bells (23 bells in almost all cases nearly-fully chromatic) in the background. Our local VA cemetery has them hung in a three story tower that sounds at the hour during the day. I could be wrong, but they sure do sound great.
they'll look to you for reassurance.. stay calm, positive vibes, have clear intentions when you move them.. you're doing great, they'll feel safe when you are calm, clear and intentional.. reward treats go along way too.. mark knows all this stuff anyway so you'll be just fine.. much love xxc
Youll need to get their teeth floated & hooves done, get them wormed, & vaccinated get the vet to check them over as theyve been neglected so long, well done for saving them guys 🎉
Smoke has an enlarged knee. I had an Arab with a big knee. I got him free knowing it was irreparable and eventually arthritis will set in. We had him for 12 years before we had to euthanize . I rode him lightly for about six years then retired him because I didn’t want to cause undo pain.Hopefully you will have better results. Please read up and study horses because you can cause damage .As big as horses are they have fragile digestive systems too. Lots of good hay is better than grain. I use hay nets to keep waste at a minimum . Hay in Ohio is $7.00 a bale stacked.I feed free choice hay in nets. Lots to learn but it can be exciting and fun.
What a great addition! You two have the right energy to show how safe they are. One thought is don’t lock a human in trailer just in case ya need to get out of the way!
Nice horses, come the spring they will be a bonus for the farm as they eat almost anything and the waste product is quite useful. Thanks for posting....
I would keep them in a smallish area at first… give them time to get use to you grooming them and your voice with treats given out!! Not out into a big pasture! Good brushings etc! Not a bath in this cold weather…
The training a horse has had they don't forget it's like riding a bike for them the major factors are excess energy and learning to know what you want, your different people then they are used to ,a round pen for working them and getting them used to you would be ideal ,just putting a halter on tying them and brushing them often will do wonders in getting them used,to you ... a lot of the dirt and burrs will comb out the rest will shed out
You need to give them lots of loving soft talk and grooming. Plenty of treats like carrots, apples and fresh hay like Alfalfa (NOT TOO MUCH Alfalfa). Make them a stall/shelter where they can feel protected. LOTS of loving small talk and grooming And find a good Farrier and a Vet.
A small "now you know " Grooming a horse is not only cleaning but most of all, bonding, horses like to groom each other when they like each other, so you grooming them is forming a bond. Plus, you can feel up close if they have wounds, etc. It also is very calming for them. (And bonus, also calming for you)
I am beyond thankful for this comment. I work full time so my husband will be doing most of the interactions but I will have questions and plenty. We are watching tons of videos to get some knowledge. I work with a few nurse here is the 3 types. 1 cow girl with horses worked everyday, 2 “horses should only be ridden in spring and fall” and 3. Saddle them up now and get them to work. Not sure how I feel about any of these advice 😳 I called the vet and they are out 2-3 weeks for full physical and floating (hell I had to learn that terminology) lol their teeth. We will do it all the same appointment. And we have a hoove guy coming out in 2 weeks. The horses are doing great and Marc has been interacting with them every morning and evening.
I hope you get training for yourselves for safe handling. A nervous horse kick can seriously injure or kill you- but there’s a “safe” zone and a danger zone…so it’s not horribly dangerous. Watch Steve Young Horsemanship RUclips for training tips. ❤
Dont wash your horses in the winter ... just brush them with a Dandy brush and in the summer use a body brush after using the Dandy brush , dont clip the hair off in the winter , they need their coats in the winter , in the spring they will cast their winter coats ... good luck with them !
Not sure if anyone stated this but the mare looks like her leg is not good. I would get her to a vet soon. I also wouldn't feed them oats. It can make them heated or over active. Ask your local feed store what to feed them other than oats.
I was cracking up when the said it only took us 2 hrs to load the horses. Please do some research tonight. On husbandry and detailed information about horse care
Patients and kindness goes a long way. Keep hooves clean from dirt, rocks ice etc. Grooming is great for bonding and just hanging in the field its good for bonding, learning the pack dynamics and personalities. The should be together and need a dry space that can also protect from the wind and space where there hooves can dry. Read up on colic and the signs of colic because stressed horses can colic.
I've seen a video where the guy working on the horse put a piece of tape on the horse's forehead And kept it calm and distracted from kicking while working on cleaning n shooing the horse
Oĺa & Mark, best of luck with the soon to be beautiful horses! Be cautious Ola, but try not to be afraid of them (they can sense it!) Are you planning on keeping them in a barn, considering the cold and deep snow you experience on Maple Mountain?
No we don’t. These horses were given to us by someone who cannot take care of them anymore, so we are still figuring out a lot of stuff. We plan to use the big steel building that we will be working on this winter if time and weather allows it, and in there we will have a tack shed and hay storage and we just made a small pasture for that situation. We were not really looking into horses till we had someone approach us and needed our help.
hey lady horse owner. that horse senses the fear you have. this makes him nervous. time to get rid of the little girls shorts and put on those big girl pants. just saying lol.
You should put halters , which their called by the way , on them to lead them into the trailer, each, one by one. It's really the proper way to trailer a horse. Not keep allowing them to run around like that and expecting them to know what you want them to do. They don't. Even horses that get trailer regularly gets halters by the owners to be lead into trailers . Nor do they know either of you and their scared. Meeting them a few times doesn't have them know you are your intentions towards them. And that black one. It's not good for it to be running around scared like that with an injury. Which it looks like it has on it's front right leg. It could actually do it even more damage. Causing it to be in more pain . That really needs to be checked out by a Veterinarian right away. And never , ever show a horse fear. They actual can sense your fear and it makes them scared and fearful too. Horse's are very intelligent animals. Their very sensitive. And believe it are not they do understand people more than you realize . You have to continually have a positive attitude around the them , always. One that's loving and reassuring. And always have a claim reassuring voice while talking to them. Which is a necessity you continually do while around them. And please do not shave their winter coats . That's definitely a no no. It really protects them from the snow and the cold. It's their insulation for the winter. And no baths during winter at all. A good brushing works wonders. Besides horses shouldn't be bath but maybe twice a year. During the warmer months, you can wet them down to cool them off but not baths . Also have a Veterinarian come out and check each of them out throughly. It could be costly, but that's the price you have to be willing to pay for owning horses . It's part of owning them. If you can't afford to put the money out on them . Hordes are not cheap by any means. And the Veterinarian should be checking their teeth to checking yes even their poop. Which can tell the Veterinarian a lot about a horses health even . Which even you both should get to know about. It can tell you a lot in ways about their health. Also ask your Veterinarian about their diets . Not all horses have the same diet. They need much more than just hey and oaths. No disrespect here intended. Just some good advice from another horse owner. I'm wishing you both the best in this . I'm sure you'll give your new horses a great loving and caring home. Much respect. P. S. do not be riding these horses right away. They haven't been riden in years. You have to work with these horses all over again to get them back in shape to be riden again. And that takes time. You could do them serious harm otherwise. Please take my advice into serious consideration. For your horses . Also provide have a shelter for them outside. And never continually keep them in the barn. It's really not good for them. Only when necessary. And always keep them together , their hard animals. They need to stay together.
1. We will not shave the horses (The previous owners suggested that), but we did not shave them or plan on it 2. I work in the ER as an RN. Everything scares me, and my husband is already telling me to calm down, so I GET IT. 3 We have been visiting them for the last 6 months, and this is the closest we have gotten to them; we loaded them one at a time (we stated that in the video). 3. HALTER got it (as I said, this is very new to me). There is terminology I need to learn. That's ok, sorry for any confusion. 4. They will always be together we will do our best not to seperate them. I know I keep saying to wash them but its because I just dont know better, but no real plan to do that. Over a year ago, these horses lost their owner; if we did not get them, they would not have feed or water over winter. We have some contacts to take care of hooves, and after that, we will get them a full lookover from the VET.
No we don’t. These horses were given to us by someone who cannot take care of them anymore, so we are still figuring out a lot of stuff. We plan to use the big steel building that we will be working on this winter if time and weather allows it, and in there we will have a tack shed and hay storage and we just made a small pasture for that situation. We were not really looking into horses till we had someone approach us and needed our help.
Those are called halters. Something you put on the head. A harness is something you put on the body of the horse. Please, if you know nothing about horses. Consult a horse trainer or a local horse club. Good luck.
Please do not clip (shave) those horses. Invest in some good grooming tools and employ some elbow grease. The black horse needs to be seen by the vet. You can't rowdy horses around like you do cows. They also need to be together - they have been together for a long time and separating them will stress them out. And, it's a halter. Not a harness.
They are smelling all the ranch smells. Thinking before you clean, you bring in a vet. Does the front right knee look good on the black? And check their teeth. Obviously you are in heaven. Now, where are you all keeping them this winter?
Please don't shave or wash your rescued horses. Its too cold. Brushing is great and you'll need a vet check . Everyone is rooting for you. Hopefully you will hook up with some experienced friends to help guide you in your efforts.❤
No we don’t. These horses were given to us by someone who cannot take care of them anymore, so we are still figuring out a lot of stuff.

Mark has good horse sense. He will show you how to manage them. You learned so much already. They are obviously appreciative of your care. Horses love work and routine. They respond to respect and authority. Kindness is usually reciprocated with their own willingness to please you. They will be a wonderful addition to your farmstead as long as their needs are met. They will be ok outside most of the time but an open-air shelter will be welcomed as soon as you can manage it. They don’t need heat as long as they can stay dry and out of bitter wind 💨. I can’t wait to see them start to trust you all. They will never forget your help.
Wow, now you have become horse ranchers, now all you need to do is learn how to look after them, the first lesson is don't ever assume that they know what you are saying! And the black horse looks like she has an injured front leg that needs attention before you start barrel racing her.
Hon they are called halters not harness. And you can’t show fear around horses or any animals, they can sense it and become fearful too. They don’t know what you are scared of so they become scared too. Be strong, be fearless and you will do fine. That’s why little kids do so well with animals, they have no fear.
💯% 👍🏻

Keep them TOGETHER!! They are herd animals and do not like to be separated. That is why they were calling to each other.
You guys are awesome, and y'all have good heart's and a childlike innocence 😂.
Always remember, animals respond to love, and it's clear you guys love animals.
There's a ton of knowledge available for you out there.

You have good caring hearts, and i wish you all the best with your horses. Cheers from Australia.
Congrats, you can do it.

Huge project to take on in the winter time. Takes a lot of love and devotion to care for horses.
Precious video of the horses. They are going to a good home where they will be receiving good care and love. Well done, you two.
Great video! I was laughing at around 7:45. Beautiful animals. They are going to be so happy at their new home.
They need to see a veterinarian asap vaccinations, worming and overall checkup.
Hay start simple feeding, plus farrier work!! FARRIER IS VERY IMPORTANT.
One is limping already. 😢
That is awesome. Our neighbors do riding lessons and run a horse rescue. They have 17 horses. They often run horses on half our property, they mow down our pasture for us.

Good morning from Las Vegas, NV. You guys are awesome. God Bless
They are halters. Harness is the equipment for horses pulling s wagon, I believe. And don't shave the horses. They need their winter coat.

❤ xxc
^ this!
And keep them in the herd at the moment, line them up to brush, examine, etc. So they don't get anxious on their own😊
They are so sweet! Look how they prick their ears forwards when cuddled. You are very lucky with their lovely temperaments😊
And rub, don't pat. I know men tend to do that. They accept it, but don't like it
Youll need to get their teeth floated & hooves done, get them wormed, & vaccinated get the vet to check them over as theyve been neglected so long, well done for saving them guys 🎉
Horse Plus human society will give u free advice im sure
👌
Smoke has an enlarged knee. I had an Arab with a big knee. I got him free knowing it was irreparable and eventually arthritis will set in. We had him for 12 years before we had to euthanize .

Good job guys!!
He want s to be with his friends ! This vlog is going to be fun watching these people learn what the don’t know
Nice. Lovely new additions to the ranch. I love horses
Nice horses, come the spring they will be a bonus for the farm as they eat almost anything and the waste product is quite useful. Thanks for posting....
They are halters lol. When you said harness I thought you were doing something totally different. Please call them halters.
But how exciting !!!
That went way easier than I expected, I think it's meant to be
Nice! That was a big SIDE of Ranch today!
Good afternoon !! Wow !!!
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
What a nice surprise. We had horses when I was a kid. Lots of fun.
Hello from Romania, I greet you Marius, God help 🙏🙋🇷🇴🤠
Nice horses
I would keep them in a smallish area at first… give them time to get use to you grooming them and your voice with treats given out!! Not out into a big pasture! Good brushings etc! Not a bath in this cold weather…

Thank you so much
AWESOME Job guys!! They look Beautiful!!
Now y'all need to build a lean to for the horses
You need to give them lots of loving soft talk and grooming. Plenty of treats like carrots, apples and fresh hay like Alfalfa (NOT TOO MUCH Alfalfa). Make them a stall/shelter where they can feel protected. LOTS of loving small talk and grooming And find a good Farrier and a Vet.
Small talk😅. Horses talk through body language, not thru baby talk.
A small "now you know " Grooming a horse is not only cleaning but most of all, bonding, horses like to groom each other when they like each other, so you grooming them is forming a bond. Plus, you can feel up close if they have wounds, etc. It also is very calming for them. (And bonus, also calming for you)
Awesome.
Do not shave ANY horses during winter. Groom brush yes check coat make sure winter coat in growing.
Water, salt licks is important important du
Please, please get them all checked out by a vet, especially the black one who has a noticeable limp.
We will; once we got that ice clump out of her hoove she walked way better.
GOOD LUCK!
Everybody got to start somewhere
Thank you very much, Lord, help God bless you y🙏🙋🇷🇴🤠❤️
They need to all get vet checks and you'll need advice on what to feed them. Good luck
Halters needed!

I called the vet and they are out 2-3 weeks for full physical and floating (hell I had to learn that terminology) lol their teeth. We will do it all the same appointment. And we have a hoove guy coming out in 2 weeks.
The horses are doing great and Marc has been interacting with them every morning and evening.
Those horses are picking up on your fear.
Baby oil for burs and knots❤

Please don’t wash them or clip their hair in winter
Should have brought Everest “The horse whisperer “
Dont wash your horses in the winter ... just brush them with a Dandy brush and in the summer use a body brush after using the Dandy brush , dont clip the hair off in the winter , they need their coats in the winter , in the spring they will cast their winter coats ... good luck with them !

The should be together and need a dry space that can also protect from the wind and space where there hooves can dry. Read up on colic and the signs of colic because stressed horses can colic.

Hay burners 😂😂😂
Compost makers for the gardens!
Nice love horses 🐎 myself
check out the internet!!!
every question you have the internet answered!!
Do not shave or cut your horses coat in the winter!! The black horse is limping and swollen right knee!!
They know you're afraid. Stay calm. Talk to them soothingly. They'll come to like you as they do your husband. You'll become inseparable.
its called a halter
Ola, that horse kept looking at to ask if that trailer made her ass look fat! 😂
When I patted that booty it had a jiggle to it!! Hahaha 😂 he had his own stall for all that junk in the trunk 😂

Best comment ever!
I've seen a video where the guy working on the horse put a piece of tape on the horse's forehead And kept it calm and distracted from kicking while working on cleaning n shooing the horse
It was on his nose horses can't sense tape on their forehead
I wouldn’t cut their hair in the winter, they need their winter coat.
👍👍❤
Oĺa & Mark, best of luck with the soon to be beautiful horses! Be cautious Ola, but try not to be afraid of them (they can sense it!) Are you planning on keeping them in a barn, considering the cold and deep snow you experience on Maple Mountain?
No we don’t. These horses were given to us by someone who cannot take care of them anymore, so we are still figuring out a lot of stuff.
We plan to use the big steel building that we will be working on this winter if time and weather allows it, and in there we will have a tack shed and hay storage and we just made a small pasture for that situation.
We were not really looking into horses till we had someone approach us and needed our help.
Well, in any case best of luck with those beautiful animals, they will be plus to you and your family and Mountain Maple
He doesn’t need a hair cut he needs a bath ! 🛁
No bath it's too cold
Now all you have to do is get someone to teach you about horse . First thing they need to be in quarantine!!
hey lady horse owner. that horse senses the fear you have. this makes him nervous. time to get rid of the little girls shorts and put on those big girl pants. just saying lol.
You should put halters , which their called by the way , on them to lead them into the trailer, each, one by one. It's really the proper way to trailer a horse. Not keep allowing them to run around like that and expecting them to know what you want them to do. They don't. Even horses that get trailer regularly gets halters by the owners to be lead into trailers . Nor do they know either of you and their scared. Meeting them a few times doesn't have them know you are your intentions towards them. And that black one. It's not good for it to be running around scared like that with an injury. Which it looks like it has on it's front right leg. It could actually do it even more damage. Causing it to be in more pain . That really needs to be checked out by a Veterinarian right away. And never , ever show a horse fear. They actual can sense your fear and it makes them scared and fearful too. Horse's are very intelligent animals. Their very sensitive. And believe it are not they do understand people more than you realize . You have to continually have a positive attitude around the them , always. One that's loving and reassuring. And always have a claim reassuring voice while talking to them. Which is a necessity you continually do while around them. And please do not shave their winter coats . That's definitely a no no.
It really protects them from the snow and the cold. It's their insulation for the winter. And no baths during winter at all. A good brushing works wonders. Besides horses shouldn't be bath but maybe twice a year. During the warmer months, you can wet them down to cool them off but not baths . Also have a Veterinarian come out and check each of them out throughly. It could be costly, but that's the price you have to be willing to pay for owning horses . It's part of owning them. If you can't afford to put the money out on them . Hordes are not cheap by any means. And the Veterinarian should be checking their teeth to checking yes even their poop. Which can tell the Veterinarian a lot about a horses health even . Which even you both should get to know about. It can tell you a lot in ways about their health. Also ask your Veterinarian about their diets . Not all horses have the same diet. They need much more than just hey and oaths. No disrespect here intended. Just some good advice from another horse owner. I'm wishing you both the best in this . I'm sure you'll give your new horses a great loving and caring home. Much respect. P. S. do not be riding these horses right away. They haven't been riden in years. You have to work with these horses all over again to get them back in shape to be riden again. And that takes time. You could do them serious harm otherwise. Please take my advice into serious consideration. For your horses . Also provide have a shelter for them outside. And never continually keep them in the barn. It's really not good for them. Only when necessary. And always keep them together , their hard animals. They need to stay together.
1. We will not shave the horses (The previous owners suggested that), but we did not shave them or plan on it 2. I work in the ER as an RN. Everything scares me, and my husband is already telling me to calm down, so I GET IT. 3 We have been visiting them for the last 6 months, and this is the closest we have gotten to them; we loaded them one at a time (we stated that in the video). 3. HALTER got it (as I said, this is very new to me). There is terminology I need to learn. That's ok, sorry for any confusion. 4. They will always be together we will do our best not to seperate them. I know I keep saying to wash them but its because I just dont know better, but no real plan to do that.
Over a year ago, these horses lost their owner; if we did not get them, they would not have feed or water over winter. We have some contacts to take care of hooves, and after that, we will get them a full lookover from the VET.
No feet no horse
Do they have any coverage
No we don’t. These horses were given to us by someone who cannot take care of them anymore, so we are still figuring out a lot of stuff.
We plan to use the big steel building that we will be working on this winter if time and weather allows it, and in there we will have a tack shed and hay storage and we just made a small pasture for that situation.

halters
Those are called halters. Something you put on the head. A harness is something you put on the body of the horse. Please, if you know nothing about horses. Consult a horse trainer or a local horse club. Good luck.
Please do not clip (shave) those horses. Invest in some good grooming tools and employ some elbow grease. The black horse needs to be seen by the vet. You can't rowdy horses around like you do cows. They also need to be together - they have been together for a long time and separating them will stress them out. And, it's a halter. Not a harness.
Where are your halters and lead ropes, lol. 😂
Take their chapters off in the field they could get caught on something.
They are smelling all the ranch smells. Thinking before you clean, you bring in a vet. Does the front right knee look good on the black? And check their teeth. Obviously you are in heaven. Now, where are you all keeping them this winter?
Where are your halters??
lose the barbed wire asking gor injuries
You are right. When we got them home we have chain fencing for most of our property.
Please don't shave or wash your rescued horses. Its too cold. Brushing is great and you'll need a vet check . Everyone is rooting for you. Hopefully you will hook up with some experienced friends to help guide you in your efforts.❤
It's a halter
Hi...is the a shelter for the horses??😊😊😊
No we don’t. These horses were given to us by someone who cannot take care of them anymore, so we are still figuring out a lot of stuff.

Mark has good horse sense. He will show you how to manage them. You learned so much already.
They are obviously appreciative of your care. Horses love work and routine. They respond to respect and authority. Kindness is usually reciprocated with their own willingness to please you. They will be a wonderful addition to your farmstead as long as their needs are met. They will be ok outside most of the time but an open-air shelter will be welcomed as soon as you can manage it. They don’t need heat as long as they can stay dry and out of bitter wind 💨.
I can’t wait to see them start to trust you all. They will never forget your help.
Just being that close. Step away
Wow, now you have become horse ranchers, now all you need to do is learn how to look after them, the first lesson is don't ever assume that they know what you are saying! And the black horse looks like she has an injured front leg that needs attention before you start barrel racing her.
What about the vet visit ? They need vaccinations and to be examined b a vet
