(No hate but imma say it right not to hate you love ur videos) it’s not a baby horse it’s a called a foal when a horse gives birth it’s called a “foal” but keep the videos up!
Your right, foal is just another word to explain the something. Like calling a baby a baby instead of infant.. or a baby human instead of infant.. same thing. 💛✨ to say the horse isn't a baby it's a foal makes the other person sound like a moron 🙄😆🤣
@Jack Straw Everything on Earth has a proper name. Lazy asses are too lazy and unintelligent to look it up when information is available at everyone's fingertips. Millennials and Gen Z'ers have never been criticized or taught for that matter. I'm sorry, but it's high time dumbasses be schooled. Our civilization and existence rely on it.
There was one video I saw where a mare left her sleeping foal in the care of the owner to get a drink of water. The foal did wake up and called for its mom. I think it followed the owner to where its mom was.
@@mandyabbotthe meant that for the mare to recover so quickly from birth, it shows how healthy she is. it typically takes days or weeks for then to be back to normal, so for her to be out and walking fine the very same day is impressive.
She wasn't protective at all. There was nothing between the girl and the foal, if the mother would've been protective, she would've shielded her foal from the girl. Look at her ears, she was very welcoming and happy to see the girl and basically showed off her foal to her.
Normally it's around 330 Days oder 11 months (plus/minus 4 Weeks). 378 days is really long and can affect the Babys health. But this little sweetheart seems to be alright
I might be wrong (was a weird horse girl growing up) but if i remember correctly, horses can like, pause their pregnancy if they feel they're in danger? Or something like that? It had to do with them being prey animals.
Owner? Right… Anyway I think an elephant carries its baby for 18 to 22 months. Which is approximately 548-669 days, and can be more than twice as long as a horse. Imagine that. 😳
@@dragonmanover9000 Equestrian basically means a horse lover or rider. This "Equestria" was probably named after it. Honestly it's very common knowledge.
Good question - I'd start by saying that early exploration/agriculture would have been stunted for centuries, several conquerors wouldn't have been able to leave their mark on history (Gengis Khan, Alexander the Great, Hernan Cortez), areas such as Mongolia would have a lessened significance as they do today, and - assuming a different animal couldn't come along and fill the gap - in many ways we probably wouldn't be as advanced as we are now without a horse to give us a technological leg up.
I remember when my family bought a wild burro to protect our cows back in California. We had coyotes in the outer edges of town, and we didn’t have a stable protection dog program up there, but there was a wild burro program. Jemma hated everyone but my dad (who’s basically a cowboy) and 9 year old me. One morning I went outside at the crack of dawn to feed the animals (as was my tradition, much to my mom’s amusement) and lo and behold, there was a gangly, brownish donkey foal. You couldn’t even tell where Jemma had given birth, it was incredible. Gypsy was the best little girl ever, I miss her so much
@Mystery_wcueyt Have you owned a mare that foaled? You don't rush up. And your horse recognizes you. She'd only mistrust you if you hadn't treated her well. At breeding farms, you are aware at times the birth has to be assisted. A well treated mare trust you. Some of these comments are not knowledgeable ones. You appear not to know about foaling.
@@equine2020 I'm confused, why is this the hill you're trying to die on? Someone is just trying to offer a word of caution to help keep people safe and you're getting triggered over it all because it doesn't match your own personal experience? I guess I'd be the first one to tell you that you aren't special and the world doesn't depend on you to validate everyone else's experiences. Like.. Go get a life. Stop wasting it trying to be some weird af keyboard warrior over a stranger simply saying something that lowkey is true in many situations. I'm glad you haven't been in danger of this kind of thing, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen and that it's a bad a idea to just.. Y'know.. Have some common sense to prevent a potential injury or death.
AWWWWW!!!! Who wouldn't feel proud to show off their young one to a much loved friend? Plus, the friend definitely had that 'My ❤ is gonna 💣💥' vibes going there.
I dont know how horses usually act around their babies, but the fact that the horse was okay with her coming close to them?? What a sweet connection they must have!
Tame horses can be pretty chill with people, sometimes little things may set them off, but generally they're fine with people being near young (if tame, i wouldn't trust a wild horse because they don't trust you)
I grew up on a horse farm and let me tell ya, it depends on the mare. Some can be sweet as pie but when they have foals they can get down right vicious.
It’s no different than your dog or your cat having puppies or kittens. Some might be a little protective or nervous but generally speaking you care for that animal every day and it’s domesticated. It’s not going to be an issue. It’s strange to me how people seem to intuitively understand this when they see people greeting a dog’s newborn puppies but not with horses.
I would be watching the horse's ears. If her ears go back, I stop, and calmly give them more room, backing away. This mare had her ears forward the whole time, listening to the boss talking to her in a calming tone. Duly noted: the boss reached out to the mare for brief moment of physical contact and reassurance from the boss, leaving the new foal alone.
@EYESandHEART I'm with Ryleebugg3 What a lovely thing to say. After recently losing my mother to cancer and I happily cared for her at home, my adult son and daughter have been showing me so much love and attention. You opened my eyes to realize that I am lucky and blessed to be supported. I've been stuck in my grief, missing my mother something terrible. Stupid tears running down my face. Thank you.❤
I remember when our horse had her foal (we still have them both) I woke up and looked out my window and there was this gorgeous Buckskin foal standing out there❤ Now our little foal is all grown up❤😊
@@christinemason2938 Yes, it is but my mum did go out and keep an eye on the mum just in case. Most horses are able to give birth unassisted and a lot of the time it’s better to not have someone there. But if something goes wrong than somebody might need to help
Its good to see someone promoting actual good behavior around animals. No attempt to touch the baby, nothing momma could interpret as a threat. So many would just rush in to pet the baby without realizing how protective the mothers are at first, they very much can attack even if you dont think you're being a threat to the newborn. A lot of youtubers are especially bad for this. What a lucky momma indeed to be in such good care with her foal.
Touching baby shouldn’t be an issue with momma. If it is, momma isn’t a suitable mother/brood mare, or she doesn’t trust you. Getting foals used to things in life are crucial to their future lives- we’ve had horses in that weren’t touched for years after birth, and not only were they dangerous, but a lot of them were distrusting of people and aggressive asf. Plus, a foal needing to be led around is vital: if an emergency happens where it has to trailer to a vet clinic and it doesn’t know how to walk respectfully next to people or into the trailer, it’s not going to the vet clinic, and lots of vets only do house calls for colic and moderate punctures and wounds.
@@dazed_pieces have you ever raised a foal? If you have a mother that rejects a foal after you touch it that’s either a lie or a really shitty mother. There’s a reason all reputable breeding facilities are so picky about their broodmares.
It's a moment she will never forget!! it's so beautiful you wake up in the morning and you see a new one in the family… it must be a magical moment for her ❤️
She carried that foal for A YEAR?!?!? Never underestimate the love, labor, and sacrifices mothers of all types make for their young. Their love overflows💜💜
"I didn't know I was pregnant :Horse Edition". Horse - " I was eating some hay....and all of a sudden I thought I had to take a big ol'poop. But I looked down....and there was a head staring back at me!"
It’s one of the most amazing experiences anyone can ever see. I remember when our baby horse came to life. It was night and my mother was the one who looked thru the window of our house and saw a dark figure behind mama horse. We all went outside to admire the new member of our family. RIP Mama horse and our little one
@@crocflop240 mama went out on just being an old horse. Our little one had passed away when she was 10 or 11 ish. My family received the news that our baby had eaten something that did not do her any good. Which was strange because from what I know horses are very good at distinguishing what food is bad or good. We were not home when that happened. She was truly a beautiful little horse. She was brown with a white spot that looked like north and South America. Our own little world. Good old days
DeadShot_98 I’m so sorry for the loss of your young horse. I recently read a fiction novel where someone (of course, the bad guy!) put a weed that’s poisonous to horses near the regular food. They caught it in time and saved the horse, but it would’ve died if they had waited longer. I don’t know if there really is a weed like this, but fiction novels often have some truths in them.
@@2kitties thank you , and yes like I said I don’t know how our baby passed if they are really good at telling what food is good and what is bad. It’s one of the rules like never shake a persons hand sitting down, keep your word, drink water where a horse drinks water
Honey I am an old women who loves animals..It must be so exciting to wake up to such a lovely little baby horse. Praise Jesus for these gorgeous animals
@catsplat1272 Thank you for your responce ..for clarification... Jesus claimed in John 10:30 to be God when he proclaimed I am my father are one..so he was with Giod the father in the beginning of creation....Jesus is ..2nd person of the Trinity...3rd being the Holy Spirit...Hope you have a lovey day dear one!!!!
I grew up with horses and being able to help with the raising of baby horses always was a fun and adorable experience. Baby horses sure are cute little fellas
@@Murdermello206Often the Mare (mother) will get very protective of their foal, and just like any mother they want to bond with their baby, this mare obviously feels very secure with her owner that she didn’t push the foal behind her and get her body between her foal and her human, also the mare nuzzling her owner’s hand with her mouth is a sign of a deep bond she has with her owner. To gain a horse’s trust is a really beautiful thing.
You should see the unacceptable and awful way the guy at Random Okie Farm treated the baby Zonkey there named Peppermint when it was born! (Half Zebra, half Donkey.) Within an hour or so of birth he hugged it to him tight as it struggled to escape, and things only got worse from there! A day and a half later he forced a halter on, then yanked and yarded on it by rope as Peppermint again fought to escape! He has traumatized the poor thing severely, and taught it to hate being caught and haltered. There will be nothing but trauma, cruelty, and force from then on. He talked about Pressure and Release, and thinks he understands it, but he obviously does not. Nevermind the fact that's far too soon to train him in any way! And the first step is always establishing trust! But he destroyed all trust entirely. So I wrote to his wife, who is very sweet and caring, but a little intimidated or brainwashed by him. I knew it was too late for that Zonkey, but I begged her to please diplomatically get him to learn how to use P and R properly. She didn't reply, but I didn't think she would. They haven't shown any more of the poor baby's so called training since then. Poor little Peppermint was only 2 and 1/2 days old when the guy nearly pulled his newborn head right off! I cried and cried. So now they are hiding his mistreatment of Peppermint. I believe the wife did try to reason with him, because she truly loves the animals all so much, but some men are just arrogant bullies, and I doubt she can control or even reason with him. He's a know it all who won't listen to her. Poor little Zonkey. Peppermint is so cute with his partial markings! I realize halter and lead training does need to be done fairly early. But yanking on his neck so hard like that, and so early? No. That kind of emotional trauma is so cruel! And counterproductive! I hope they do go to a zebra trainer as she mentioned in 1 of the 3 videos of Peppermint. And I hope somehow she is able to reduce his mistreatment of the poor little guy. 😭😢😭😢😭
Oh my goodness what a gorgeous mother horse beautiful baby but my goodness that mother horse is absolutely a beautiful mother horse both beautiful I can see why you’re so excited I would be too thanks for sharing🥰🥰💕
It is always the best way when giving birth. No humans flashing light on the horse being in the stall people talking. . Privacy Mother horse giving birth the first imprint should be respected .its a magical feet. She will introduce her baby when she is ready. DIGNITY AND RESPECT.❤❤❤
I agree... How do you explain that the lady did not attend the foal birth event, after 378 days of anticipation? She was asleep and the vet and someone else did the main job?
I know a lady who bought an old mare from auction, who quickly went from emaciated to plump... only to come out one morning to a shiny new foal. No idea the mare was pregnant.
