Love is in the air and Take A Pick can't contain himself! He gets to see his mare's and we got some awesome footage of out! Check it out in this episode of Registered Ranching!
@@Ann963 If you force a mare to breed with a stallion its stressful and traumatic. You just release the stud to join the herd and they will do things naturally. Forcing it can result in the mare injuring herself or the stud
I was totally interested in this video until I saw in the beginning someone named horse Trump. So just letting you know, it made me not wanna watch this anybody that would vote for that man is demented as he is.
I know you said you have had no problems with the stallion & the foals, but it makes me nervous watching those babies in there with him. 😮 I loved the mare taking her baby & hiding it behind that bush. She kept the foal between her & the bush. Ain't nobody going to hurt her little one. Great momma!
Take a pic reared up as if to say "Let go daddy my girls are here. I can't look stupid." When he first came running over all the mares took off like "Oh, no not this guy again." They have a beautiful place to live.
I worked at a horse stable when i was 15, my dads friend owned the place and people would pay to keep their horses there. There was one stud, it was actually my moms horses son. He obviously couldnt ever go out with the herd of 65-70 horses. It was my responsibility to get him from his stall in the barn out to his paddock in the morning and bring him back in the afternoon. As i was the only male and stood 6'1" and weighed 200 lbs i could handle him when he jumped or reared and didnt want to cooperate. If the herd was close by in the pasture hed pick his head up, curl his upper lip sniffinging the pharamoans from a mare in heat. I knew then it was party time. Good chance he would try anything to get away from me and go find that mare. Even though he did pull me over a few times i never let him get away even when he dragged me through the mud and rain for a good 50 feet. I enjoyed the challenge of trying to "tame the beast". I really enjoyed that job working at the stable.
This is exactly how my mom bred our mares...we raised Apps. I luv how yal handle it.. this is how it's done in wild. Took me back to the days I grew up in.. thank you for this..
Absolutely gorgeous to see. I had a Vaquero King mare… adored her, incredible horse. Selecting carefully for those good genes is so important and it sure shows in your herd!
I know very little about horses but I know this is natural behavior. The mares don’t know this horse or haven’t seen him for a while, they are their own herd and they have young. It’s natural for them to be nervous, curious, or even afraid until they figure out who he is and that he’s not there to hurt the young. I would expect the mares that are in heat might take more easily to him than the ones that are not in heat or with very new foals. In the wild the stallion protects them and keeps them all together. We humans tend to think we know better or that every sign of discomfort means abuse but we really know very little and our interference very often causes immense damage. I watched a video with a beautiful black stallion being taken to a mare to breed. Both were being held by ropes and were in a small corral. The mare clearly was not ready to be bred and tried to kick at the stallion. Had he been free to be himself, he would have moved away and spent some time wooing her but he was held in place by ropes so tightly he could not move his head out of the way. He was kicked square in the head and was dead before he hit the ground. Such a tragedy and loss of a beautiful animal just because humans thought they knew best. Just let them be horses.
Adding any new horse to a herd is generally going to add a bit of uneasiness and confusion for a bit. Actually they accepted and calmed down around him far faster than usual of what I have seen in horse interactions, usually it takes several hours if not upwards of a day or two. Most of them definitely knew him even if they hadn't seen him in a bit and if anything they were playing hard to get to see if he still interested in them and was still a suitable stallion. Mares have sass and they will mess with each other and especially stallions around breeding season just because of hormones. There is a reason a lot of ranchers do like geldings over mares, they don't get temperamental like mares often do, doesn't mean they are better but it is a factor you have to consider in a working horse.
It’s So interesting to see the communication and responses of the horses, they are such magnificent creatures!!! My wife and I run a horse rescue program that also helps teen girls that are troubled… They learn how to take care of the horse that is assigned to them from mucking stalls, feeding, and all of the in between things! And then they are taught how to properly saddle a horse and ride, by professional trainers… Our Daughter age 16 is a very accomplished trainer now and teaches the newer girls. It is a GREAT Program to all involved!!! We have 35 horses and about 20 girls right now… I must admit that I don’t know much about horses, but my wife and daughter have incredible knowledge… I am a Professional Heavy Equipment Mechanic as well as a Jack of all trades, so I use my skills, ability, and knowledge to take care of the equipment that supports the ranch, which is called “Whispering Canyons”… It is located just to the West of Logan City in Utah..
Man y’all must really like the grey modifier!! Grey messes up the horse’s true color, but they do look super cool as they’re changing to grey from dark colors. I love black and crème genes and chrome too much and the grey just washes all that stuff out. But back to the subject at hand: it can get WILD when you’re running a stud out with mares and foals in the pasture for sure.
That is a wonderful display of horse psychology and behavior. Great job and ignore those people that say the mares were doing just fine before the stud came. They get to learn a natural order and it's beautiful to see how they interact and I love how the stallion takes charge and it's a great example of leadership and I think some people get offended by that because they might not want that implemented in their own life even though they need it. That's my personal opinion on some of the comments.
it looked like the mares were fine with hanging with each other until the stud came around them. They seemed to be running away from him more than the other mares.
It’s a completely natural reaction. Stallion or mare, new horses will always cause a stir as they gotta figure out the pecking order, but they’ll settle in just fine after a day or two 😊
@@Random-JustAnother I had a dream of opening a horse retirement ranch, where older race & work horses could live the rest of their lives free, without the threat of a meat truck or euthanasia. I guess there are divorced/single ranchers in their 40's out there somewhere, I just need to find one. Lol
Good job Take A Pic. Two questions Tucker... What is your "in foal" rate on your mares? Do they all get in Foal or do you miss some? Second, do you ever have problems with the stud running mares through a fence? Thanks much
So I have a couple of questions, not being familiar with horse breeding. Does your stallion have a favorite mare or two that he breeds with, or is it like his name...he just takes his pick of whichever mare he happens to take a shine to? And I am guessing the mares who have already had foals are not in the running for him to breed with, right? I have seen some videos where they will put the mare in a chute or some sort and have them do the deed there. Is it much more dangerous, having them free like your herd is, to have him breed the mares? And how soon will you know that the mares are pregnant with his foals?
The most fertile time for them is right after they have a baby. The mare will determine when the dead is done, so it depends on their reproductive cycle. The stud will breed all of them over a few months. It can be dangerous, you just have to be smart about how you handle them.
Hello, i know nothing about ranching but find horses very beautiful! And i feel like there are not enough wild horses left in the wild! I have only seen a horse in videos where humans are taking care of them. What are they being bred for? Other than raising their beautiful population! I'm not sure how i feel about rodeos though..
So even though the mayor's have a brand new cult you still put her out with a started I've seen a lot of videos where that causes panic in the in the mother and the baby running around scared I've seen studs get hurt that way in a lot of the videos people share I was so sad to see in some places where they tie the mayor up to a tractor they tie her feet they tie her neck it feels like assault
For everyone saying "but stallion will kill the foals!" no it wont. Horses dont do that uneless foal is weak and almost dying, they are not like zebras killing beacuse they are not related, stallions will rarely and almost never kill foals and he doesnt need to, mares get into" foal heat" the first estrus cycle right after foaling and Yea, my stallion grew a bond with my five month old colt
So, one of your mares just gave birth a couple days ago & you have her & her new baby in with the mares to be impregnated. That seems to be cruel to get her pregnant again so soon. I was really surprised at this fact. I feel sorry for this mare.
Horses have a very interesting gestation period that can last for over a year. It’s a very very common practice for this to happen. One of their most fertile moments is actually called the “foal heat” right when their baby is born. So it’s a great time to have them together according to their normal reproductive cycle.
@@tuckerbrownrabso you keep your mares pregnant all the time then? What do you do with them when they get too old to keep getting bred over and over again? Sadly, lots and lots of horses in kill pens who used to be broodmares who were no longer useful for making money.
@@miaminative6260 some mares are rode and showed. Some mares going in the riding pen. Others get to stay out in the pasture raise the next generation of great ranch horses. We normally sell our mares to other ranchers to use before they age out. To ranchers we trust 👍🏼. We don’t breed for fun… all horses get to work on the ranch with our cowboys and other ranchers across the nation. We love our horses and they are well taken care of.
Hello there Tucker and R A Brown Ranch I sent an email through the website earlier this week did you guys get it. I would really like a reply otherwise its not good customer service.
And if one knows anything bout horses and breeding them..would know that stallion is NOT gonna hurt his babies...hell I've raised horses my whole life and nvr come across a stud that hurt another studs foal...but that's jus my opinion, I think yal are doin an awesome job...most of these folks in comment section wouldn't know how to sit on a horse let alone tell a horseman how to handle his horses...jus my opinion doesn't really matter to anyone other than myself.
@@cindyporter9894I never bred my horses… although the neighbor’s stud tried a few times. I think this guy is doing a great job - just like in nature - and I care about what you said. I learn best by listening.
@tuckerbrownrab and it's also the worst time to breed. A good breeder would give their mares at least a year between breeding foals, so they can have a rest between. They don't get that in the wild, so all mares are breeding a foal EVERY single year from around 2 to 22 sometimes older. And look at them when this happens. They become very poor physically, and often they will lose a foal due to malnutrition, from the mares diet. Not only that, but the foals themselves don't ever mature properly. They are smaller than normal and don't seem to grow very big. As a human, it's our responsibility to take these things into consideration, especially if we are going to make money from the youngstock.
@@SarahJSwift I can see your reasoning. Our mares have the best nutrition there is. It’s not hard on them. Have we given some a year rest? Yes, if they have a a bad pregnancy or have to for some reason have a c section. You can tell in any of my videos that our horses are probably a little too well fed. Just because we do it different doesn’t make us a bad breeder.
