"Well that's cuz you're a dummy". So many people need to hear these words instead of having their egos stroked by others who don't want to hurt their feelings.
Close your fingers on your right hand and place right in front of a dog or cat. And both would move their heads forward to smell it. Now try it with a Horse. And it will be the same behaviour provided you have respected it's space first.
As usual, your tutorial on horse behavior is so valuable. This video is chock-full with wealth of information. Appreciated and enjoyed! Sigh...all those beautiful horses😍
As group/herd animals, horses don't understand equality and fairness. They understand hierarchy. Herd safety demands that the strongest individual leads.
Hi Rick, I am watching a show on our Arkansas Educational Television Network about horses. One thing jumped out at one. "If only we let horses be themselves." Pretty much like I hear you say about letting horses be horses. I thought I would share that with you. I never like the bits. When I first ran across you, I learned a lot from you, but two things stood out that bits and horseshoes were bad for horses, and that was something new and interesting to hear. "Wow! Really?" and after I thought about it, it made perfect sense. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do for the horse, and how you are the horses' strongest advocate. Ignore the BWs.
I enjoy all your voices and quick wit!! And even more I like how you slow down and replay pieces of the video while describing the details of what we are seeing. Go get em Rick!! 🤗
Thank you, Rick. I’ve learned so much from you, and from the horses I am privileged to spend time with. Spent the last two years with “wild” horses, and I’ve incorporated so much of what you’ve taught into my interactions with them. I help them, yet I always recognize that “you never enter the same river twice”. May they remain free. What a gift. God I love them, and I love all that you are regarding them. Thank you.
I just want to tell you that I have watched a few of your videos. I do not own a horse for financial reasons but I have found them absolute beautiful creatures. And I have loved your opinion of all your videos. I find them very educational and hysterical at the same time. Thank you. Please keep on what you have been doing.
my teacher has a dog that runs up to cats barking and being all mean and the cats always runs away scared, once there was a cat who didn't care about the dog and kept sitting and mining his own thing, the dog just stood there and didn't know what to do since the cat didn't give any reaction.
I was a postal person whom used a voice on guard dogs and they all had the same reaction. I call it the "Sha Na Na"..character on Martin, very high pitched voice. The dogs would stop barking, look at me with their heads tilted. One homeowner was amazed his dogs weren't attacking me, accused me of feeding em. He knew the character, told me to fix them, that I had broke em and he was gonna call my boss. It even worked on German trained dogs whom didn't know English. Pissed my friend off..those were her dogs..highly trained and I had them wagging their stumps.
I loved this video. I miss your 20 minutes thirty minute break downs. You don't miss a thing and I have really learned everything worth a F about horsemanship from watching your evaluations on a steady basis. It feeds my horse love and it works perfectly with no nonsense only truth comes from your lessons....let's just say it helps and it feels awesome that we both share a very deep love for horses. Paying attention and truly having a desire for the best interest of any horse I have the honor to be next to...I don't want to be negligent or ignorant...there are no excuses for all levels of poor horsemanship. Thanks Rick.
So nice to see them free and not vegetating in 50 qm² with a wet blanket on, trying to think like a human. The horses in the video know, who they are. Thank you Rick! Hope, your cold is gone soon
I love all of your horse herd knowledge Rick. I’ve always wondered who the head horse in the herd is. We have a singular gelding who is the lowest because he is learning how to be in a herd due to being kept in a stall his whole life. It’s not a wonder why he has so many anxiety problems, but he’s the only horse at our ranch that is not classified as a ‘rescue’. At least our rescue horses had herds and pasture but I think he was worse off tbh. We have two mares, my mare absolutely does not let the gelding get anywhere close to the other mare. She actually acts a lot like this stallion with the snaking and ears back when approaching the gelding. But I cannot figure out which mare is top dog. The other mare gives a protest kick and backs away some times but at other times she kicks and makes my mare move away when my mare gets close. They are attached and both freak out if the other horse leaves. When they first met they didn’t even take notice of each other, at least that I remember. They both have the same reaction when it comes to food usually they pin their ears and back away at the same time if they react. Maybe I need a slow-mo camera 😂😂😂 my mare seems to be the one to have to put others in their place but since my mare doesn’t let anyone near the other mare I can’t tell how she reacts with the gelding or previous horses in the pasture as of late. (She used to be low man on the totem pole in her previous home I am told though)
I agree that there are natural psychological differences between males and females. But I also think nuture plays a big part in a persons mentality. We tend to coddle and over protect our female children more than our male children. We put emotional thinking into their brains from a young age. Girls who are raised more like boys tend to be more independent and logical. Ps. I love how proud and cocky that stallion is. Brimming with attitude and personality and purpose. I could watch him all day. He is a born leader.
What an interesting video! It's so nice to observe horses just being horses, without humans forcing them to do something unnatural. Love all the palominos! Great video!
I dont know why its so hard to believe that you can study animal behavior and learn to interoperate what they are doing or saying. It does take years and a lot of observation but anyone can learn it,he has clearly studied and been around horses for a long time and has picked up their behavior.
It makes sense As a mare your job is to choose the stronger stallion. The one who will protect you and your kids. there have been documented cases where a female leaves a stallion to be with another but the majority of the time its survival. Women and men are not equal but that doesn't mean one is better. Because you can't compare them like that. It's a difference in job. A difference in instinct. How your brain or body develops. How your hormones develop. It's all different Why do you think you see girls going for the providers or the guys that seem to have their head together Its instinct. You want the stability. If you were a horse and ran off with some scrawny stallion who never won a fight. you'd be dead because when push comes to shove you would be left without protection. Everyone in the horse world plays their part and they dont get butthurt when they loose a fight or something. They have connections but they also have to live their life for them and the betterment of their foals. Better stallion. Better babies. In my opinion I would have no issue being in s herd of horses as a mare and being taken by the strongest stallion around. Just would make sense.
I'd be careful with saying women and men are not equal, and then say that doesn't mean one is better. They are equal, just different, you know? Like Yin and Yang; both sides have the same level of space, and therefore equal, but they are different because they're designed to _compliment_ each other.
Beautiful horses. Used to do trail rides. Always noticed how the horses "jockeyed for position", sometimes violently, until they established rank..Another good Gore Production. Thanks.
"He's a mean horse! put him a stall" I rode a horse once he didnt listen to me just followed the horse in front of me. looks like you know your horse stuff pretty good. i really enjoyed the video about your horse that passed away, it helped me deal with losing my 19 yo dog. i really come here for the woman's voice. its dead on. we need you in politics.
3:00 people only say that when humans bind mares back feet to neck and hold her in place so she can’t move with her legs open. legit rape. nobody says that about WILD HERDS coz it doesn’t happen
Exactly!! A mare can and will tell a stallion when she’s not ready, and stallions are smart enough to stay out of her range. When humans get involved with all the ropes and chains, thats when it becomes dangerous for both mare and stallion.
Horses that get pushed by stupid humans and have to move a lower horse's feet reminds me of something my dad always says. "Move your feet, lose your seat. " He said it a lot when someone would get up and complain that someone else took their chair.
Man, those are some great looking boys. I always loved how strong stallions look over geldings. Got that great muscle tone. Hell, even stallions kept stalled up don't look this good. Never get a chance to build that strength.
Great video again! He is so full of himself, he was almost smiling hahaha. My mare was like this as a 2 year old, alwayspushing and annoiing other horses, but now she is the one that's always pushed away, her 2 year old state of mind was completeley differend than how she is now.
Rick, I don't know if you saw my request for more herd behavior videos, but I sure do appreciate your doing a video like this! I learn so much about how to read and talk horse language thanks to your commentary. Thank you for the awesome work you do! Horses and humans around the world appreciate it!!
"That horse is dangerous, he'll kick you, he tried to kick me in the head!" "No he didn't ya big dummies." x'D Thanks for sharing this video, Rick. I found it very informative, and very funny at the same time. That red-roan stallion is absolutely stunning; he's so spunky and cocky lol. That liver chestnut with the bald face and curly hair was stunning too.
That is a huge herd of horses! Our bands of wild horses in the ND Badlands have anywhere from five to ten per band. Stallions trying to start their own herd and steal mares is a common happening. Thanks so much for the play by play on herd behavior!
Protest kick!!! I've seen that occur so often, and now you have given the perfect term to describe it! And saving face a little bit while yielding. Also, Rick, I love your takes on these horse behavior videos. I enjoy the way you narrate what the horses are thinking! I find myself laughing, smiling and learning all the way through. And yes, beholding the beauty of these horses is a peek into the mind of the horse-Maker who created such a magnificent creature... traces of the passage of the King.
This video was really informative! I did equine therapy a couple years ago and worked with a horse named Freckles who was the lowest horse in his herd. Our very first meeting, he pushed me around to the point the equine specialist had to intervene to keep me from getting bit. Despite this, we understood he wasn't being a vicious horrible monster, but just establishing what relationship we would have. I wouldnt say we were ever equal from that point on, I think he knew he was higher, but we had some level of respect where he would stop doing drive bys on me and we could even walk next to each other (spaced respectfully) which was really special. Freckles helped me learn boundaries and stuff and I really enjoyed working with him. This lil guy in the video reminds me of him in a way. This was a great video to learn about horse behavior and thinking. Maybe someday when I do equine therapy again, I can be more informed on some of their body language.
Thank you for explaining everything that's going on Rick. As always, I'm learning more about horses the more I listen to you. The stallion (the one you're focusing on in this video) will never be overweight if he stays as active as this! As you say, he's constantly on the job Buddy and Mr T you're good boys! Ransom, Mokie and Stewie you're all good too!
Very cool Rick! I knew you'd love this herd. He's just gorgeous and I loved his attitude. Such a great bunch of good looking horses. I just yesterday put one up of my horses running around the pasture in the rain. I was waiting to hear all the squawking saying I should have locked them up in the barn. lol
katherine harvey Yes indeed! I saw that I remember when Cloud had disappeared once before and when he showed up she said he looked like he stepped out of wizard of oz because he was pink lol
Carol V He lost his herd. He either moved on far away or went off and died alone of a broken heart. I always hoped he found or hid a mare or 2 off somewhere but it wasn't safe to hang around anymore.
That one foal was a big baby. When Cocoa was born, the breeder was headed to the barn where another mare was foaling. She glanced out to the pasture and saw that Cocoa had arrived. She thought, "what a big, handsome colt". When she moved them to the barn, she was surprised to find it was a filly! She definitely was a beautiful, typical looking Morgan. Great video, beautiful colors on those horses, and so healthy!! Thanks for the critique and the lesson on how a horse thinks.
I love your behavior videos. My two have changed a lot now that they are of of the herd at the barn and its been fun to watch them switch who is higher and who is lower... for that moment. Jack was always lower and I’ve seen him push Jarvis more than before. Jarvis doesn’t care... he knows how to push back and Jack always yields. Lol LOVE horse behavior!
I do agree with this video. This gave me a hugeeeeeeeeeeeee lesson, cause Im studying wild horse rn (Like drawing study) Thank you! I must say that this stallions are amazing, those colours are amazing!
what they.re doing why they.re doing it and what they are going to do next. I agree, only years or a special ability to observe horses gives this gift.
WELCOME BACK Dad very glad to hear you are better. BRILLIANT as always and as you say really beautiful horsey. You really are comedy gold but with an important message. Buddy...Mr T...Dad and Mokey....you are THE BEST 💙 💙 💙 💙

"Well that's cuz you're a dummy". So many people need to hear these words instead of having their egos stroked by others who don't want to hurt their feelings.
I love hearing you narrate horse behaviour. It's like listening to a story. Can't get enough :)

omg haha I fell asleep watching this. Must have hit a few keys. Haha
Close your fingers on your right hand and place right in front of a dog or cat. And both would move their heads forward to smell it. Now try it with a Horse. And it will be the same behaviour provided you have respected it's space first.
my horse is always posting on Instagram about other horses. can you help Rick?
take his smart phone away
Lol
Unoko412 I bet it's pink!!!
Man what beautiful horses. I love seeing horses just being horses.
That roan stallion is stunning 😍 wild horses really are majestic.
You can learn so much more just by herd observation than you can from any $300 DVD training series it's incredible
As usual, your tutorial on horse behavior is so valuable. This video is chock-full with wealth of information.
Appreciated and enjoyed!
Sigh...all those beautiful horses😍
Your herd analysis videos are some of my favorites. Thank you!
As group/herd animals, horses don't understand equality and fairness. They understand hierarchy. Herd safety demands that the strongest individual leads.
Dang some good lookin horses in this one...Better than most men hehehe
"purpose, direction, he means buisness, he is moving with intention, authority, he is moving deliberately" -- that's how to be in life
Thanks for the video and the commentary. Love that little SOB. I guess he’s feeling his oats. LOL
He will be the big dog with herd one day.
stunning horse for sure

That one horse sure looked like Buddy.
All wild horses are just so beautiful, their coloring is amazing!
I enjoy all your voices and quick wit!! And even more I like how you slow down and replay pieces of the video while describing the details of what we are seeing. Go get em Rick!! 🤗

I act loke Mr. T among the herd, when they try to move me, I ignore it. It works! You guys (Mr.T and you)have taught me this. Thank you !
I enjoy these commentaries so very much! Thank you.
Hey Rick! Please do more videos like this, I really find your analysis of horse behavior very interesting!!
Good ole Dad TRUE VOICE of the horse
my teacher has a dog that runs up to cats barking and being all mean and the cats always runs away scared, once there was a cat who didn't care about the dog and kept sitting and mining his own thing, the dog just stood there and didn't know what to do since the cat didn't give any reaction.

Pissed my friend off..those were her dogs..highly trained and I had them wagging their stumps.
I had a cat who hated dogs and ran up to them and clawed them in the face every time she saw one!🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha! That's funny! XD
“Pink handbag”. I love it. So funny. Mine is pink multi color plaid. Haha
That strawberry roan is so beautiful omg!!
The bay horse at 19:53 is gorgeous! Another great video. Thanks Rick!!

I dunno why, new year's eve feels like a nice time to watch wild horses
Love natural horse behavior - it teaches so much more about my equines than any human mouth ever could.
So nice to see them free and not vegetating in 50 qm² with a wet blanket on, trying to think like a human. The horses in the video know, who they are. Thank you Rick! Hope, your cold is gone soon
That was a very beautiful horse, but my heart belongs to Buddy, he is the best horse ever. Thanks Rick, for everything. :-)
My favorite commentaries of yours are the ones of herd behavior. You're right there isn't a bad looking horse there. Enjoyed this a lot.
It is nice to see horses just being themselves. The blow by blow comintary is very amusing too! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🐎🐎🐎🍀🍀🍀🍀🐴🐴🐴🍀🍀🍀🍀🦄🦄🦄🍀🍀🍀🍀🐴🐴🐴🍀🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
He's gorgeous little roan.the palominos are unreal.good vid Rick.kat
The best teacher of the horse : 1. The horse
2. Rick
Geez, those are some GORGEOUS horses. I'm in love 🥰.
👍👍
Gorgeous horses! Lots of palominos. The one guy must be pretty young, he's feisty! Nice video as always!
Horses communicate naturally.
People like to humanize EVERYTHING.
FACT.
Thank you Rick❤
SO many good looking horses in this vid!
Wow, that roan colored stallion is absolutely breathtaking. Great video Rick, I enjoyed it like always.
I love all of your horse herd knowledge Rick. I’ve always wondered who the head horse in the herd is. We have a singular gelding who is the lowest because he is learning how to be in a herd due to being kept in a stall his whole life.

I agree that there are natural psychological differences between males and females. But I also think nuture plays a big part in a persons mentality. We tend to coddle and over protect our female children more than our male children. We put emotional thinking into their brains from a young age. Girls who are raised more like boys tend to be more independent and logical.
Ps. I love how proud and cocky that stallion is. Brimming with attitude and personality and purpose. I could watch him all day. He is a born leader.
Beautiful horses, I love the voice you use for the stupid human, made me laugh out loud :D
What an interesting video! It's so nice to observe horses just being horses, without humans forcing them to do something unnatural. Love all the palominos! Great video!
I dont know why its so hard to believe that you can study animal behavior and learn to interoperate what they are doing or saying. It does take years and a lot of observation but anyone can learn it,he has clearly studied and been around horses for a long time and has picked up their behavior.
That roan is so cocky and cute!
It makes sense
As a mare your job is to choose the stronger stallion. The one who will protect you and your kids.
there have been documented cases where a female leaves a stallion to be with another but the majority of the time its survival.
Women and men are not equal but that doesn't mean one is better. Because you can't compare them like that.
It's a difference in job. A difference in instinct. How your brain or body develops. How your hormones develop. It's all different
Why do you think you see girls going for the providers or the guys that seem to have their head together
Its instinct. You want the stability.
If you were a horse and ran off with some scrawny stallion who never won a fight. you'd be dead because when push comes to shove you would be left without protection.
Everyone in the horse world plays their part and they dont get butthurt when they loose a fight or something.
They have connections but they also have to live their life for them and the betterment of their foals.
Better stallion. Better babies.
In my opinion I would have no issue being in s herd of horses as a mare and being taken by the strongest stallion around.
Just would make sense.
I'd be careful with saying women and men are not equal, and then say that doesn't mean one is better. They are equal, just different, you know? Like Yin and Yang; both sides have the same level of space, and therefore equal, but they are different because they're designed to _compliment_ each other.
Can't stop watching your videos. Thank you and ciao from Italy!!
Glad you like them!
Beautiful horses. Used to do trail rides. Always noticed how the horses "jockeyed for position", sometimes violently, until they established rank..Another good Gore Production. Thanks.
Peter K I did trail rides in Maine. It was the best job ever!!!
"He's a mean horse! put him a stall"
I rode a horse once he didnt listen to me just followed the horse in front of me. looks like you know your horse stuff pretty good. i really enjoyed the video about your horse that passed away, it helped me deal with losing my 19 yo dog.
i really come here for the woman's voice. its dead on. we need you in politics.
Oh my goodness, how beautiful is he?!
3:00 people only say that when humans bind mares back feet to neck and hold her in place so she can’t move with her legs open. legit rape. nobody says that about WILD HERDS coz it doesn’t happen

This is a really great horse behavior video. I hope that a whole lot of people watch this and finally get the horse language.
that herd has some good colors of horses
Mom: cmon! It’s time to go!
Me watching this vid: WAIT MOM I AM KNOWLEDGING!
Great vid I love watching wild horses!
Rick, I don't know if you saw my request for more herd behavior videos, but I sure do appreciate your doing a video like this! I learn so much about how to read and talk horse language thanks to your commentary. Thank you for the awesome work you do! Horses and humans around the world appreciate it!!
Lol, I remember reading your comment 😂
lol did you really?? That's great 😂
"Mare's rights"... LOL!
Cool lesson Rick, Thank You...
BIG RON OVER AND OUT...
Wow, some wild Curlies!
I really appreciate the explanation of all of those behaviors.
You are bad to the bone, love it
"That horse is dangerous, he'll kick you, he tried to kick me in the head!"
"No he didn't ya big dummies." x'D
Thanks for sharing this video, Rick. I found it very informative, and very funny at the same time. That red-roan stallion is absolutely stunning; he's so spunky and cocky lol. That liver chestnut with the bald face and curly hair was stunning too.

This horse is really gorgeous. In the right hands, he would be a great horse to work with.
Yes DAD GO GET HIM wise ole Mr T will soon whip his studly butt into shape 😂
ReviewCam yeah I thought about that after I posted the first comment. I hope he stays free, the government has been rounding wild horses up lately.
NO CHANCE of that beauty staying free so best option is that Dad gets him and gives him the life he deserves 😀
One of my favorite videos from you, love when you express the horses thoughts.❤❤
What a great little stallion.
So much knowledge …. From the bottom of my heart thank you 🙏🏽
You are so welcome
That is a huge herd of horses! Our bands of wild horses in the ND Badlands have anywhere from five to ten per band. Stallions trying to start their own herd and steal mares is a common happening. Thanks so much for the play by play on herd behavior!
That horse is buff. He has a thick neck.
Pure wild Spirit Thicc
Awesome video, I could watch these guys all day!
agree

IIRC there is no size difference between males and females in horses.
Hi Rick. Love your educational videos. Your commentary really breaks down their behavior in such a way that makes horsse sense. Thanks! 😊
Glad you like them!
Great herd behavior and beautiful horses!
Horses in the wild: survival of the strongest
Horses when humans get involved: survival of the "pretty"
Very interesting!
Thanks Rick.
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks rick. good lesson.
I wish I’d have heard about you years ago! I like the way you think, talk and know what you’re talking about.
Thanks for sharing this video
I love your behavior videos. My two have changed a lot now that they are of of the herd at the barn and its been fun to watch them switch who is higher and who is lower... for that moment. Jack was always lower and I’ve seen him push Jarvis more than before. Jarvis doesn’t care... he knows how to push back and Jack always yields. Lol LOVE horse behavior!
I do agree with this video. This gave me a hugeeeeeeeeeeeee lesson, cause Im studying wild horse rn (Like drawing study) Thank you! I must say that this stallions are amazing, those colours are amazing!
God I love your mock voice.
Belated Happy Thanksgiving Rick. Great commentary on a beautiful herd. Horse on right at 19:20 looks like he has some dredlocks in his mane.
Man, I'd love to have a horse like that! Muscular, strong and those colors are gorgeous!
what they.re doing why they.re doing it and what they are going to do next. I agree, only years or a special ability to observe horses gives this gift.
This is the funniest. 🤣 Very entertaining & educational .
This is great! Real response and true feelings are put in this! Nothing fake, so true and funny!
Great video thanks Rick.
I love all those beautiful Palominos! I also love those buckskin colors
