CUTEST FOAL EVER - Oak Grove Frank the Clydesdale Foal

Me playing with my 2 week old Clydesdale colt foal, Frank...
Now, to all the people who think I was teaching the foal to rear on me: I wasn't. I was, one day, showing my foal to some friends and when he saw me come into the shed he was excited and jumped up on me. I caught him, instinctively, and my friends took a photo, and it was fun and we laughed. So, they suggested I make a video of it, just for fun, and I did. It happened during one video, and one video only. When the video ended, he was never allowed to do it again. I would block him with my arm on his nose and step to the side. He tried it twice, or maybe three times after the video was made, and then he forgot all about it.
PS: thank you everyone for the kind and positive comments. For a long time I managed to reply to everyone, but, to be honest, I am now not able to keep up with them all. Thank you all once again and I am glad that you have enjoyed seeing my horses.

This is so awesome to see how you were getting this foal used to being handled as well as bonding with it......thank you for showing how a young horse should be welcomed into this world of humans; You are so awesome!💗💗💗

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Thank you very much. It is very kind of you to say so :)

@TheRealBambihooves 7 лет назад

Oak Grove Clydesdale Horses You are most welcome! You have a new fan. 💗💗💗😙

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Aw I am really humbled! Thank you! :)

@mattheww797 7 лет назад

TheRealBambihooves yes but horses should not be kept as pets they are extremely violent and they can even kill people

@SilentHonor2012 7 лет назад

Extremely violent? Do you see the bond this foal already has with his caretaker? It's wonderful! And do you notice how calm momma is while her baby is being played with and is being taught that human hands lifting their hooves, legs, etc. by the caretaker is okay and nothing to be afraid of? This man knows his horses and is teaching them nothing but love and play. Violence in a domesticated animal, such as these horses, is something that is learned through trauma or abuse.........it's not an absolute given. A Chihuahua can kill a person.......but we keep them as pets......although I prefer to not use the word "pet". "Companions" is a more appropriate term for relationships like these. Beautiful video!

@suzannehall8834 7 лет назад

Love how he's working with this foal getting him used to handling and learning he won't be hurt. Bonding with Mom's approval...and supervision. Beautiful video!

@BlizzardtheWolf97 7 лет назад

this is so sweet!! you've clearly got a strong connection with both the mother and foal, and its good that you spent time getting him accustomed to handling like that

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Thank you very much, and I am glad that you enjoyed it :)

@reneeslaughter9873 7 лет назад

I can't stop watching. Your bond with the baby is amazing and it looks like momma only gets worried with the black draft in the back. What wonderful folks you are. :-)

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Aw thank you very much. That is a lovely comment to read and I'm glad that you liked the video :)

@daphnew1591 7 лет назад

This is pretty darn cute and the bonding experience is great. I grew up on a 400 acre ranch,gentled the foals, fed horses and cleaned a lot of stalls. It was a great life and I would do it all over again. Thank you for posting this.A grown clydalesdales horse shoe weight 5 pounds. I know this from experience. Micheline Kribs, Rolla,MO

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

@j.s.1816 5 лет назад

Funny!

@JustASleepySloth 8 лет назад

It's lovely to see the connection you've built up with your colt, he clearly has bonded to you really well and doesn't at all mind being moved about. He doesn't barge or try to move you either there's a nice respect there.

@tadhgpheaitwillie 8 лет назад

Aw, thank you very much for watching and leaving a kind comment. Yep, he's an absolute angel! :)

@JustASleepySloth 8 лет назад

Oak Grove Clydesdale Horses I bet I imagine because horses are horses that it's not nearly as easy as you make it look but heavy horses do have a sort of natural gentleness about them don't they? is the mare a shire by the way? she looks very different to the clydesdale at the back whom she wasn't very happy staring at her baby XD

@tadhgpheaitwillie 8 лет назад

Aw, thanks again. Well, to be fair, I am no enigma or anything special with horses. Frank just had that really affectionate personality about him. And to be honest, all my Clydesdales do, and Clydesdales and draught horses in general very much tend to also. Nope, the mare is a pedigree Clydesdale. She has really unusual colouring. Many of them have a lot of white through their coat in splashes, etc., but Kate has a lot of white all over! And the 2yo at the back is a Black Clydesdale, which in itself is rare enough to see :)

@JustASleepySloth 8 лет назад

+Oak Grove Clydesdale Horses dang I didn't know they came in those colours so you own them all?

@tadhgpheaitwillie 8 лет назад

Yes I do, and I'm very honoured to be lucky enough to own them. They are everything to me. Do you keep horses yourself?

@fedupwitumboth 6 лет назад

Awesome video....and that mamma is very protective!!

@TheDemon3666 8 лет назад

I love the bond between this guy and the foal, even the mare respects him enough to allow him to frolic with her foal and run like mad around her feet but listen to him enough to wait until he moves so she can barrel in on the intruder on the other side of the fence. I love it.

@tadhgpheaitwillie 8 лет назад

+Alex Dominik Thanks very much ,Sir. Very kind of you to say. Glad you liked it :)

@TheDemon3666 8 лет назад

@dreamcatcher7829 7 лет назад

It's really good of you to get foals friendly and well behaved at a young age. Better handling when they're younger leads to a better, well behaved horse in the future. Well done with caring for him, he's so cute!

@noneedtoknow2870 7 лет назад

Like a big dog, "More scratching, please." Beautiful critter, and they all seem quite comfortable with you moving around behind them. Mom didn't seem the least bit concerned, she clearly trusts you with her baby.

@TheLostBear78 8 лет назад

I so want to have another foal in my life again! Still have my last one, he's 14 years old now. I so miss playing with a cuddling a foal! Last one was a pony, we left the door open one day, he came in and hopped up on my bed and layed down next too me. Momma came inside to look after him, we cuddled a bit before mamma left a present on the floor, and I put them both back outside. :)

@tadhgpheaitwillie 8 лет назад

Haha - well I hope you get another foal in your life soon. I hope your current one is doing great at the young age of 14! Thanks for watching and leaving a kind comment :)

@marydurham5976 6 лет назад

@wirinaholstein4076 7 лет назад

I know this is an old video but I couldn't help but to comment anyways. I was brought up on a farm here in Scandinavia and we had heavy thoroughbreds as well as a couple of ponies for us kids. Overtime I see these majestic clydesdales its reminds me of my childhood with my grandfather who treated his horses a bit like his dogs. He bonded deeply with them and they each were like 1 tonne weight of puppies. They were so calm, sturdy and beautiful of mind that I never ever feared these gentle giants and today, where Im a vet of profession, I still take advice about horses from these special people who choose these kinds of special gentle giants as their horses of choice. Its like you just know what kind of person someone is if they own a thoroughbred. There's a certain kind of understanding of the nature of horses and how to be around them. I love how these horses are not chained or in tiny stalls and that they had access to interact with the other horse and free view over the entire area. And the mare seems to think her person had become a kindergarten teacher for her baby and she just let you play around.

@joanwheeler2183 6 лет назад

I thought all Clydessdales looked like the beer ads ! ! !

@kiefersbird3 7 лет назад

what a gorgeous foal, so sorry to hear you lost him at such a young age. I love Clydesdale's, I had the chance of riding a rare twin while doing my veterinary nursing training, equine care was part of the course. He and his brother were the first twins in Scotland for a very long time.

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Thank you very much indeed. That mean a lot. Aw how lovely to hear of twin foals! They are very rare and very cute :)

@Sarahjaneex_ 7 лет назад

I know this is nothing compared to having this foal how it is but you and he have the same bond I do as my dog but this is soo cute! how his mum doesn't mind you being this close, you clearly have a strong bond.

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Thank you very much. Ah yes, we all get along very well and we understand each other. Oh it makes perfect sense to have a similar bond with your dog! :)

@Summerdaysorber 6 лет назад

You are doing such an outstanding job with this little baby!!! This is exactly how each and every baby should be introduced to people!! In such a loving, playful, wonderful way!!! It makes me want a colt of my own to raise so badly!!! You’re doing an excellent job!! If he’s ever for sale please hit me up!!!!❤️❤️❤️

@wingright2nd 10 лет назад

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Oh yes. You could literally spend all day with him!

@egagnon9994 7 лет назад

I love how mamma is very protective of her foal... Was it the stallion she charged?... I like your approach, playing and bonding with the foal without separating it from its mother... I only have one question. Why aren't the mother and the foal outside with the herd?...

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Thank you for your comment. No no, she charged a three-year-old filly, just laying down the law not to mess with her foal. The mare and foal were inside simply to feed them and give the foal some handling. They lived in the field for 23 hours of the day, and came in every day for handling and to get the foal used to feed (in the event that if ever his mother died unexpectedly, he would be better able to feed for himself).

@faerieSAALE 5 лет назад

anyone who knows anything about horses is this, A MARE with her FOUL is not to be trifled with. Mama had better know you, or sense that you are no threat - or she'll charge with the intent to scare you off or seriously do damage to you! They don't like being watched and stared at either. Makes them nervous.

@Happyascanbe1 8 лет назад

Wonderful friendship only known by the very finest of human hearts - but the hug part may need to be reconsidered once the baby reaches a ton. :)

@tadhgpheaitwillie 8 лет назад

+Xodus Yovsky Thank you very much indeed. Hope you liked the video. Yes, don't worry, there'll be no jumping when he gets bigger...

@Happyascanbe1 8 лет назад

I love your video. You obviously have a very special gift. The fact that the foal's mother trusts you more than that horse speaks volumes, but I would guess that earning the foal's trust was probably even more delicate work. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

@tadhgpheaitwillie 8 лет назад

+Xodus Yovsky Haha - it wasn't as technical as that. The little bugger just followed me everywhere! I just could never get away from him! Nah, I've no gift - it's the nature and gentleness of the Clydesdale breed. They are an amazing animal to work with.

@Happyascanbe1 8 лет назад

With all due respect to the Clydesdale breed, I know enough about horses to notice that you are being modest here. If the little bugger was approached by some ordinary folks, I bet he wouldn't be that trusting. You have a gift + modesty, which is a rare package. Most people are exactly opposite - ordinary and bragging about it. ;)

@tadhgpheaitwillie 8 лет назад

+Xodus Yovsky Oh no, seriously, trust me! He was that trusting with everybody, and they all are in general! Genuinely! Take my word for it! But thank very much for your kind words!

@ilselangnar507 5 лет назад

I like how mama knew not to mess with you or hurt you, but she was totally cool with going after other horses😂I also just love this colt’s energy and how this was a video meant to entertain and that the foal knows not to jump on people

@kenwithaK 10 лет назад

I've never seen a foal so actively engaged in play/interaction with its human before. are all coldblooded/draft horses so chill and friendly? i mean he's almost like a giant puppy! or is this foal a special case? would appreciate any insights. either way,,, really awesome video man!!!

@tadhgpheaitwillie 10 лет назад

Thanks very much mate. Well, most draft foals and horses are very friendly and kind in nature. I really do spend a lot of time with my foals when they are born and they seem to accept me as one of their own. I will admit that this foal was particularly friendly (the most friendly I have seen), but all of mine have been very tactile and warm with me. They just know that they are safe and love to be handled and scratched.

I was folliwed around by all of the protected by them hugged by them.Even had the boss mare teach me where my place was in the herd.You are really very lucky and if you should ever be separated from them when you meet up again it will be luke you never left.

@moviequeen5101 7 лет назад

is that the father in the background, the mother really trust you with her baby, I have always been told to not walk behind horse and is that her 1st foal

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Yes, she trusts me very much with Frank, as you can see. No, she has had two foals before him. The horse in the background was a three year old filly called Violet.

@watchmoivies123 7 лет назад

Why are you teaching him to jump up on a human? You may not want him to full grown. Are you a trick trainer?

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

I'm not teaching him to jump on a human. He did it that day, for the first time, and my aunt suggested I catch it on camera, for fun, and so I did. After the video was made, I never allowed him to do it again. Thanks for watching :)

@peggyperry69 6 лет назад

I'm so glad you explained about the rearing. That worried me. I raised my mare's foal, and found out accidentally that because his dam was an alpha mare, but was trained to always follow me on lead, he accepted that I was the ultimate alpha and therefore gave me no trouble at all learning to walk on lead. I started paying attention to horse body language after that and it made handling them much easier if I could talk to them in their language. I was told my mare was 18 when I bought her but after I bred her the previous owner started adding up the foals she had birthed and realized she was actually 25. Scooter was a big foal but she was used to them, but he got in the wrong position and I wound up having to pull him out. He never read books on horse handling and training so everything I read and had learned about horses meant nothing to him. He gave me many hours of laughter and fun while training and handling him, having to improvise all the time.

@Hertog_von_Berkshire 6 лет назад

Where I live, it's not unusual for foals not to read books on horse handling. In fact, I can't think of a single one who did so.

You can be sure they would, and that they got it. This was a video made, specifically, about my foal. It is almost 8 minutes long. What you do not see is the other 23 hours and 52 minutes of the day, for indeed, 365 days of the year.

@terriw3581 6 лет назад

He's a beautiful foal for sure. Please, Please, Please do not dock that tail. Learn to braid it so it won't get caught in his harness. Docking a tail on draft horses is an ancient fashion and has no business in being done today.

@Hertog_von_Berkshire 6 лет назад

I'm feeling the pain of losing this gorgeous little fellow. What a tragedy.

@cutepetvideos9592 6 лет назад

Teaching a foal to rear and put his front legs on a human is extremely dangerous. They are not dogs, if this horse does this when it weighs 1400 pounds, it could kill someone. I think this is extremely dangerous and irresponsible.

@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132 6 лет назад

He isn't teaching him to rear up and put his hooves on him; he is taking his legs and pushing back to show him his proper place is in front of him not on him. At one point you can see the colt hesitate already. Pretty smart for one so young. It won't take him long to get the picture and he'll be proud of himself for pleasing his friend. That is training done with gentleness and love; he'll always remember it.

That was absolutely beautiful and amazing. You are a true professional and it shows how much respect and love you have for these animals. I found it very interesting to see that mum did’t really worry too much about you playing with her foal, although she kept a close eye out. But she hated what I thought would have been dad even looking at her foal. Can you tell me why she is so overprotective with him please?

@tadhgpheaitwillie 5 лет назад

Thank you for your kind comments. Ah, the black horse is not the father of the foal. She is a 3yo filly, actually. The mother of the foal (Kate) is protective of her foal with all other horses, but she doesn't bother with me as she knows that I will not "take" him or harm him. I genuinely believe that she understands that I have only his best interests at heart. She happily allows me to administer medication to him, or even be strong with him when he is being haltered for the first time, etc. She knows that all the things I do are in the best interest of the foal, I think.

Frank's like,"where did he go?!" Mom is an awesome protector! Cute video!!

Thank you so much. Yes, she's a wonderful mother and he's a cute foal :)

Love watching mama bear and her ears and careful scrutiny if the black and white who she perceived as a little too curious.

Just seeing this (8/1/2018). Frank is beautiful! Wonder what he looks like now.

@jacksg1809 5 лет назад

He died at 12 weeks 😢

The mare is more concerned with keeping the other horse at length. Is that the stallion.

@jjtennesseewalkers 7 лет назад

Here in Canada we do the same with polar bear. That way they don't eat us when they are full grown.

FRANK is frisky! ❤️

That is a special foal. Mom lets the human do anything he wants with the baby but goes after the other adult horse just for looking at her foal. It's all about trust.

Clearly, the man is a horseman in the best sense of the word. All that handling and loving is already paying off. That was awesome to watch. Was late for an appointment. Har.

@earthangel6480 7 лет назад

EARTH ANGEL😇. Aw, the momma horse wants some love ❤️ and attention too!😢🐴

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

And she gets it every day of her life. What you see here, if you do not realise for yourself, is a short clip filmed specifically about the foal. You know nothing of the specific attention and care that the mare gets for the other 23 hours and 53 minutes of the day, 365 days a year. But thanks for watching all the same.

@earthangel6480 7 лет назад

+Oak Grove Clydesdale Horses EaRTH ANGEL😇 Yes, but you would still would want to project that also. A lot of people don't know that, so it's nice that we got that response from you !!!!😁❤️

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Can I not be given the benefit of the doubt that, surely, for her to so respectfully and patiently allow me to interact with her foal (especially given the reaction she has to the other horse), that she gets treated well by me? Why else would she have such confidence in me when I play with her foal? Can this not be implied from what can be seen, rather than for me to have to prove myself to people who know nothing ab out me or my horses?

@blkluvla 7 лет назад

How funny that sense of play so many young animals seem to have and this foal's enjoyment of human company

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Yes, I agree. He always loved humans, right from the very first day. Thanks for watching and leaving a kind comment :)

It is good to see such a nice facility for the horses. Too often I've seen them living in mud bogs and even the stable is muddy and wet.

@melanievarela4048 6 лет назад

This was amazing to watch. Such love for your horses. It's quite obvious they respect and love you. thanks for sharing this.

@kittyandthekatz8046 5 лет назад

Kinda wish you'd given Mommy some luvin too :-)

@tadhgpheaitwillie 5 лет назад

Luckily for you, I did! It's just that the video was about the foal, and you didn't see it, because I didn't show it :-)

@jmtimmons 7 лет назад

Oh...you are amazing with Frank. It warms my heart to see the incredible bond you have. I am so very sorry to hear you lost him. I've only just come across this video now. I hope you have had at least one new foal to bond with since your heartbreaking loss. You really are amazing. Have a great day. I'm going to subscribe to your channel now so I can watch all your videos.

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Aw thank you so much, my friend. That is very very nice to hear. Oh yes, I have had a few foals since Frank and we all have great fun. It is lovely when the new foals are born. Thanks again, and all the very best to you :)

@aprilmorris4588 6 лет назад

Thank you for the explanation of what you were doing and why. I was baffled as to why someone who so obviously knows what he's doing around horses would teach that to a foal who will (no, HAS) grow(n) into a BIG horse to jump on a person, but now I understand. I'm thrilled by your knowledge and joy with these beauties. 🐎

@label585 7 лет назад

omg this is so cute! What if the foal still does the playful climbing thing when it's larger??? just imagine it XD you wouldn't be able to support it! You have a very cute little draft horse, this video made my day so thank you for sharing!!

@tadhgpheaitwillie 7 лет назад

Thank you for watching and leaving a kind comment : Just to say, we did the "catching" thing for the video only, and never again after that. It was just to capture a nice moment on film... :)

@virginiareid5336 6 лет назад

Love the interaction you have established with such a young colt. I don't believe Momma lied Daddy getting too close😉

Hold his front legs like that when he's a yearling. Har!

@The-ii5mj 5 лет назад

it's a cute video!!! No shade here. It's evident you know what you're doing! Just watching Mom so content w/you (as compared to the other horse even looking that way and Mamma saying "oh hell no") around her baby shows that! I bet he's turned into a fine young horse!!
