Oh but he childbirth you went through as a human was way harder! it's one of the most painful among all mammals. The thing is children (unlike pups and foals etc) have huge heads. We evolved brains and skulls like these in a very short time and the rest of the body didn't have time to adapt. That's also why humans deliver prematurely and babies are helpless for years. That was the only way to give birth without dying.

The buckskin was making it known to the other bachelor stallions that he found the mare first and therefore, has a right over her instead of them (and they were also fighting for her). The Buckskin did not do this because he has a conscience, he wanted to take the mare for his own and started his own herd with her. The grey herd leader Stallion wasn't too far, so when he came back, he started kicking the buckskin stallion, seeing it as a threat to his mares/herd.

Momma did a really really good job right there. Saving her foal from a serious threat, standing her ground and landing powerful kicks. It's fascinating, she really goes in for maximum damage, aiming for their heads a couple of times.

What I truly found fascinating about this video is that even though the wild mustang at one point managed to get close to the foal, he didn't try to hurt it. In that split second he could've given Patriot a strong kick and possibly broken some of his bones, but instead he just sniffed and continued to try and get it on with the mother.

Theres so much going on communicate wise too, that's why i love horses theyre so intelligent and powerful and gentle. Notice how her ears flatten back when shes afraid/defensive, and them kicks are enough to kill a man.

Now that's a mama bear right there.. She fended off all those stallions for 5-6 minutes of straight attacks trying to get her baby not even standing yet..

i find it so amazing how immediately after birth, animals just have this sense that they need to feed and protect their baby.

@@shammond2895 Like Ashelyfire has said, stallions will not kill HEALTHY foals from other males. All horses get curious around babies, and their main goal is growing the herd. Killing a member of the herd (who is healthy) is detrimental and causes chaos in the herd. The only recorded instances of infanticide by stallions is either accidental or the foal had health issues. In this video, the bachelor stallion that was challenging the mare’s stallion (and possible father of the foal) had many opportunities to stomp or bite the baby, but didn’t, instead looked at it curiously and was more focused on the mother and not getting kicked by the lead stallion. And in all honesty, Patriot (the foal in this video) might not even be the lead stallions son! He could’ve been conceived when his mother was in another herd, or maybe she had an affair with a stronger bachelor. Mares can get taken very fast by a stronger, younger male, and since they carry pregnancies so long, its very easy to see the bloodlines get mixed up in a herd. It’s very beneficial as well to keep the blood fresh.

@Truth Teller Except mansplaining was what he was doing. I feel like mentioning the fact that I OWN horses and have DEALT with bothersome males means I already effing KNOW that stallions are a threat. Bug off, “truth spewer.”

Horses prancing and so graceful like ballerinas even when protecting the baby .

This is my favorite Mustang video. The precision of that mare to protect her foal...the first time I saw this, my heart was in my throat, until I realized what was happening. I own a Mustang mare, adopted her when she was a 2yo. She is now 16...and I could totally see her defending her foal like this.💕

What a good, brave, strong mama!!! She kept her baby and herself safe!! So glad they are both ok!

What a scary beginning for the foal! Glad the mare prevailed until the herd stallion and other mare arrived! What an adorable foal!

What an amazing momma! Adorable baby. That buckskin stallion is something special though.

I saw him a year ago with his own mares and he appears fine.

Fact that mares herd came to her and while bachelor was distracted, their main stallion saw the situation

She must have been so tired after just giving birth but she could still fight.

What a beautiful mare! Shes so pretty! Shes a brave figther, and did well protecting her baby.

When I was young I worked occasionally with mustangs and I dearly love them but in all of my years with horses I never enjoyed being around stallions because I found that they are just too unpredictable and you have to watch them constantly. Actually, I've also known some old geldings that are the same way....very hard to predict. Nonetheless, I love horses completely.

There’s a KZread channel about a horse ranch that has stallions they use for stud and they ride. It’s a quarter horse breeding ranch …..One of them is a big black stud named Monster. They turn him out to pasture with his mares for a few months then go get him and being him and the other stallions that have back to ride and work. I think they have 3-4 stallions and I don’t remember how many mares…. Amazingly gentle and well trained stallions! Just beautiful to watch them .

Stallions will routinely kill any foals that aren’t theirs, so the mare comes back into season. An unpleasant fact of equine life.

Killing the foal does not make the mare come back into heat. She will go into heat about 10 days after the foal is born regardless of whether or not the foal is still alive. Stallions often steal mares. They rarely kill the foals, even if they aren't theirs.

I know the vid is last year's but what a beautiful mom. Did you guys and gals see how even in all the confusion she was careful not to step on baby always putting herself between the mess and her baby. Nature is such a beautiful thing.

The 2 stallions though... gorgeous horses! The neck arching. My goodness. Glad foal and mare are okay. She put up one helluva fight.

Look how excited & happy they all are!!! I’ve never heard horses make so much or that type of noise before! Are these horses wild horses? What an excellent mother she is! So fiercely protective!

Yes they are wild horses,they seem to be apart of Montana’s wild life protection.definitely the mare was also defending her foal from those bachelor Stallions.

A very intense video. There were times when I thought one bachelor stallion was capable of coming after the foal. Thank goodness the mare and foal were able to get back to the herd .

With a mom like that you know he will be strong!

Beautiful country. Beautiful mare and foal. Thanks for the pix.

What got me the most was when the other mares came in and helped mama This is why I love horses so much ❤️❤️

Go momma! I knew I would not regret watching this. Thanks for sharing

That Mama is a superhero. She's a true fighter and gives no mercy when her baby is at risk. One super strong mare. Total respect. Also, great to see she could visibly rely on her family when they arrived to help.

Geez....what a traumatic welcoming for this baby! I don't know much about these horses, so the captions helped me. I was really scared for kid and mom. I guess it worked out ok? The bad boys gave up and didn't return for second attempt? How do you rate "liked" for this video??😱🤯😱🤯

A BIG THANK Y’ALL ! For all the information you gave, much ❤ to y’all . Sad to hear about the foals.

I love watching this that stallion protects his mare and foal so well. She will not leave till the foal is ready

That was so intense to watch! Bless that mumma keeping her baby safe! Wow.

i was so full of emotions watching the majesty of wild horses in a beautiful field of flowers all captured superbly by someone who understands video editing and photography

Amazing footage. Beautiful, brave Mama!

What a great mother, they put her through so much stress. Surprised he didn’t get stepped on

This was so cute! I have huge soft spot for horses and when I saw this I loved on how she's so protective and kept her self between her baby and the other horses. I love how she would make sure her baby was alright, The background is so pretty and The mom and baby have a beautiful color!

Thank you for sharing this! Praise God she was able to fight them off! What a sweet Mama. I was HOPING the rest of her herd would come to help!

Sa bukur ! Dhe bebi e kuptoi Nënën... qe duhej te ngrihej.

Pretty intense in those first precious moments of life!! So glad the little guy was alright & what a beauty ❤️

The poor mare. Can you imagine this after giving birth? Lucky she had friends.

Incredible film footage. Thank you for sharing.

My heart was in my mouth! Oh my gosh. That mom was amazing! Those kicks were something else. What a darling little foal! 💞Moma and baby are beautiful.

I love how the other black mare soon came and helped to protect the newborn foal. I love the bond some horses have with each other!

Great footage!

She would also been exhausted from the birth. Bless her. 👏🥰

Wow, what a tough world. So the foal is not only endangered by other predators but by his own kind too?

The relief she must has felt when her herd arrived.

These animals are quite dangerously powerful! Kudos to anybody who works with them.

While it was dangerous for the foal and exhausting for the mother, it could have been more violent. Those bachelors weren't unnecessarily cruel, they didn't bother with the foal, although they could have accidently knocked him over when evading the kicks and fighting the other stallions. They only wanted the mare and to prove which bachelor should have the right to mate. If they'd found her later, when she was in heat during her care for the current foal, maybe she'd been compliant. But I do also think mares have preferences for some stallions, to some extent, so she may have stuck close to the band's ruling stallion anyway.

Absolutely beautiful animals ❤. They look so graceful when they run free and wild.

That's a real life Bruce Lee! Long live all the loving ,caring, protective moms everywhere.

Wow, best momma ever!! Dad too !! Idk how the foal stayed so calm. Looks like mom doesn't even want to let dad near baby. God bless the animals, so beautiful and 💕 precious 💕

Wow what a great mommy! All that fighting she had to do and to keep her eyes on many males right after giving birth, she would be tired but never gave up fighting so hard for her cute baby😻

Mamas are alot stronger than you think when it comes to protecting their babies. Mamas find amazing strenght and kick ass determination to protect their young...so very proud of this mare/mama for standing her ground with so many of the stallions trying to harm this foal/mama. So very happy this foal didnt get kicked/stepped on during this attempt by the stallions.....beautiful end/photo of mama and her newborn...poor foal to be so freightened and confussed so soon after birth ....mama is sooooo proud running in the field with her baby....hope no other threats come her way...hope the others just let her be a mama and leave her alone...its been so rough for mama and baby so soon after foals birth....my heart is so happy that mama and foal are safe now....or are they!!!

Bachelor stallions are at there worst when trying to find a band of their own. Mom did excellent with her baby, protecting it from another stallion. Usually the babies get crushed or kicked by accident by mom. The baby stood up and that helped a lot for mom. Then at the end it rolls down the little hill. I kinda giggled at that. That stallion has a beautiful little band. Thanks for the share!

I am cheering for the mama. We have many wild horses here in Nevada, I've never been privileged to witness a scene such as this.
