I love that he knows not to jump that fence and try landing in those rocks with the other fence right in his face. Even when visibly pissed off, he ain't stupid.
He's not pissed off, he's trying to impress them. Look at his ears, when horses are mad they take their ears back, his are really forward. Also, had he been mad he'd be repeatedly kicking the fence, and won't be strutting around.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 pissed off means angry, agitated. I know very well what that phrase means. I've worked with horses for years. I've seen many angry horses, even got hurt by a few- so trust me when I tell you that this horse is NOT angry. He's excited, interested, playful, but NOT angry. Look at any guide to horse body language, it will tell you the same thing.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 But the horse isn’t “pissed off” You also can’t come up with a counter argument so you resort to degradation. Good luck with life because you’ll surely need it.
I love how the mares just don't care. First they're like, "Oh Steve, heyyyy!" And then they just don't care and go, "So, as I was talking, Margaret was just being a a huge disturbance to everyone in the herd during dinner time-"
Yeah mares sometimes even get heavily annoyed when a stallion tries to approch them. I've seen one trying to casually say hi to two meres but one of them got aggressive for no obvious reason and chased him around the pasture for minutes lol
@@carina-nonbinary I agree. One time I saw a mare put up with a stallion for nigh on 2 years before divorcing him and taking half his property as well as his rights to the children.
@@macabre2899 That might be why there are so many horsec**** online, complaining about women being unreliable. They call themselves stallions so, it makes sense.
First off, that’s a really nice facility. Second, that’s normal behavior of a stallion. He wasn’t mad, he was listening to his instincts. He was getting frustrated though.
I think that’s more of how I’m interpreting the comments, it’s more of an “antsy” frustration than it is anger. Feels like you summed it up really well, though.
0:08 Love how he arranged himself into that pose "I´m here!" and the ending kick was like a cherry on the top. Horses are creatures that just have insane amount of natural grace and elegance.
@@Fluffy_Wolverine I pass horses a lot as I live next to rural area with a lot of ranches and fields. Otherwise not sure what exactly you meant, if you do not like horses that is your problem. 100 people 100 opinions.
Seeing other horses is nothing. He's completely neglected. Stallions are horses too and need at least a horse friend - geldings are perfect companions. But keeping a stallion like that is nothing better than isolation in prison. As if you put the last two men on seperate islands so they can call out and see each other but never get in touch. That's abuse for every kind of social animal.
@@ranmakuro I'm not a horsey person. My extremely controlling sister is. Watching RU-vid videos on horses, makes me wonder about the women who need horses in their lives to control. These horses are beautiful birds in cages. Don't get me started on birds.
@@i.m.7710 Often, yes they are. I'm a horse person though my point of view has changed a lot. I love when a horse decides to be with you although it is in a stable herd. Humans and horses can be friends. But living conditions must be more than enough. There are too many people thinking they know their horse is diffferent and happy with bad conditions. Only when they try and change the circumstances and let the horse settle in they understand what they have done. It's never too late.
@@ranmakuro I do think that this is a very safe place for the stallion to stay. The fence is sturdy and high enough so that he can’t jump out and hurt himself doing so. I agree that he needs a friend, and there is no reason to keep a stallion intact if you can’t keep him in a safe but large space with room to romp with his buddies.
Same, I know nothing about horses really but I can tell an animal that big and strong could very likely clear that first fence if it wanted! They're so impressive
It's so funny that the mare didn't look at him at all, but that other stallion/gelding was just like, "Hey bro! :D" And then the stallion threw a lil fit. "I wasn't talking to you! >:O"
My favorite part was the “Has he not been getting any lately?” Edit: this comment section if getting kinda sus… Edit Edit: imagine how funny it would be if I just deleted this comment
I grew up having a stud horse and he was a headache but sweet and gentle at the same time, but he would always let u know he was the big man on campus, sadly my family no longer have him, my dad had him before I was born, he was 33 years old back in 2014 I was only 21, I’m 30 now and if he’s still alive he will be in his mid to late 40’s, he was a good horse
@@jamesblyth4966 The one that looked was a gelding, and he was not interested or exited. Mostly just curious, but in the end he did not care. The mare did not even glance his way, which makes sense since she is probably not in heat/dont like that stallion and was much more invested in her hooman at the time.
My favorite school/lesson horse, who I ride for about 10 years was a gelding….but he still tried to charm the ladies. One day, I’m walking him to the mounting block, and he looks over at the pretty mare in the lesson, and almost had this look on his face like “look what I can do,” and he turned and BIT me!!! Then looked back at her to see if she was impressed. Not typical of him! So I gave home a little smack to tell him no, and the mare walked off laughing and he hung his head in shame. Lol. So unlike him, but for that moment, he wanted to be the alpha to impress her. In all the years I rode him, that’s the only time he ever did anything like that. He’d be silly sometimes, but never bit or kicked or anything. He was a perfect school horse. Now over 30 and retired, living the life. 💕
I remember when my old trainer had an Arabian stallion. He would throw temper tantrums when any horse walked by. Mare: Wanted to mate. Male: Wanted to fight.
This is a really nice setup! You can’t always stallion-proof a paddock, and shared spaces can be hard to juggle depending on herd dynamics, so having a open stall like this with enough room to actually exercise and socialise looks like a really cool alternative! Plus that fencing looks really solid, that must have cost a fortune. I think this video also conveys why gelding is such a widespread and important process for horse owners who aren’t prepared to go the extra EXTRA mile for their horses. I feel like often people will get stallions because it’s romantic and sounds cool and they like the idea of breeding their own horses (even though they are unqualified and couldn’t care less about genetic health and the like) but then keep it in a stall all day, provide no enrichment or exercise and get surprised that the horse is “trying to kill them” and call in an aggressive “trainer” who pushes the horse until it hurts someone and is euthanised for being “dangerous”. Of course stallions can also be puppy dogs and the biggest softies too, it depends on the horse, but you still need to be prepared to care for a STALLION when you buy a STALLION. That means upgrading fencing, knowing about the unique health needs of the domesticated testosterone containment unit, and making adjustments to agistment so that no one is being bullied or constantly losing their mind over that one horse three paddocks over that I NEED TO MEET RIGHT NOW IF I CANT TOUCH NOSES I WILL LITERALLY EXPLODE. It’s also important to remember that a stallion is literally just a horse and you don’t have to try and dominate it or treat it like shit or pick apart everything it does as aggressive just because it still has its balls.
This sounds like something you’ve been through and are just projecting it out there like it’s a super common thing? Maybe go to therapy to work out your issues.
@@finnanutyo1153 The poster of this comment sounds like someone who has experience and knows about horses. If anything you assuming things makes me think YOU need therapy.
@@bigdeweyj You know what’s great about humans is that they’re just animals who managed to convince themselves that they’re smarter than they actually are
horses are literally so expressive lol, he’s like “dammit. She was supposed to me mine >:(“ I think he might also just be showing off though not actually mad. Quite funny
What a cutie! I used to work at a facility with Arab stallions; thankfully I never had to deal with many crazy temper tantrums but I miss the adorable stallion energy 😂😍
I’m a huge fan of how light on their feet they look, the amount of power in their legs it’s insane. They just lightly prance around and look elegant asfuck
@@youngroller2168 dominance is the incorrect terminology. he is showing the mares he is strong and full of energy/very mobile, meaning he is healthy and good candidate to reproduce with.
I've been driving a stallion for some time and he would get more excited when seeing another stallion than when seeing a mare. I got the impression that not being able to compare their strength is what bothers them more.
Or maybe he's just....you know...not that there's anything wrong with it...kind of...well..."different" from some guys...so to speak. Can I say that on social media, or will I be cancelled?!
Makes me think of my little old chihuahua. She’s never shown any want to hump a male dog but whenever she even senses another female dog in the vicinity, there she goes humping the air. She’s my sweet lesbian grandma 😭😂
He looks like Wildfire. Beautiful stallion. Definitely showing off for the female and to show that male he's stronger. On that note, can anyone see the balls? Bc I can't. Either he was gelded late or they are hiding. Either way I love watching horses with all their quirks. I wish there were more documentaries like Cloud.
Wow, he's so beautiful. All the horses are and it looks like y'all take wonderful care of them. I always wanted horses. Unfortunately my husband passed away from cancer 5 years after we acquired a place to have horses. After losing him it was just not good timing for this dream. Life can change so quickly.
@@neophantomyt1435 it does. In fact this could be a pre-procedure, where they are milking the stud. Drawing the ladies past him encourages him to be ready. And then they milk him kind of like a blow up doll version of a female horse. The ranch hand provides a sheath and basically holds it while the horse empties his load. Yeah it's graphic but it's in the third season of Yellowstone too.
@@TypeOneg Indeed, it's a routine practice for breeding, although at the ranch where I did landscaping for they were kind of weird about it and coaxing the horses with baby noises. It was an awkward experience being around those people.
I love that! Though don't blame him for getting mad because he wasn't!! He was just trying to impress the beautiful mares!!! He is a pure beauty!! Lucky you!!
He's like: "Ladies, over here!🐴 Bet y'all never seen a stallion like this before huh? y'all looking fine today! Where ya going? Come back and I'll show you how fine you really look!"😎🐎
@@ravjayakodi2746 Yep. Stallions are temperamental, athletic, and can pretty much only be kept with other males, usually geldings, and that's only if they don't try to fight them. If they aren't kept intact for breeding, it's safer and easier to castrate them.
I worked on a stud farm. You haven't seen anything until you've seen a stallion in a stall watching another male breed a mare he wants. They'll practically break through the door
I love seeing all the comments about “wow I’m glad this fence is so well-designed that it does not literally emanate a horse-destroying aura” because it means I can automatically make a few assumptions about the world of horse-owning
