Yes very cute

Animal "lovers" can be so well-meaning yet so far off-base; bet you never expected so much flak! My dad was very good at gentling foals to halter, this brings back memories. Thanks!

When he pricks his ears hard his face is so adorable. He seems really mellow. He didn't even fuss when after the halter was on. He just accepted things.

someone pet the cat lol!

great video. Thank you for showing about how to use the pressure and release. I think I got it and it should work nicely with my foal, Firefly.

It would be really cool if we could have an update on how he is doing, he's beautiful and I'm sure he is a wonderful horse and it would be really awesome to see his progress!

Brown horse

At my horseback riding class a horse had her new foal. His name is Milagro

I like how the mare is like *eye lasers*

I saw a foal and even got to bed and I’m only nine. My uncle owns a racehorse and we got to pet the commonest mayors phone. I don’t think she didn’t mind because she was so friendly towards us

Well at least the baby is following his mom more than the people. That's a good sign they didn't force themselves onto the foal. I might have waited until the foal is older but that's just me.

I agree on the age and was wondering if he was too young to have a halter on his face but also, I was under the impression that it's good to take time and patience to get him on the halter then just do throw it on in a single day, having something on his face which in their prospective is not normal.

lol he did not seem to like the halter very much.

Lol Im quite surprised that you can stand close to the horses butt when it's loose, and she raised her leg like that, making it look like she's about to kick! I would've stayed a bit away from it. Don't get me wrong, Im not afraid of horses, but I don't want to stand behind a horse. I can pick their back-hooves without problem though. I hope ya understand xD

Why?

For future training i would start with a foal wearing the halter for five minutes a day, taking it on and off, and then after he accepts it beguin doing short sessions with hand walking and pressure when he is able to eat soft foods like apple sauce! I love your channel and how patient you are, but just for future reference!

willow creek stables she was just warning him to not stand behind her. It’s totally normal for mare to kick out at their foals or hold a leg up to warn them. They don’t have hands, so they have to teach another way ☺️! Also, she clearly does know what shes doing or else she wouldn’t have gotten the halter on the foal so easily 🙄

sixth!

kitty friend

Thanks for feexback

Easier to just let the momma and other horses teach the horse how to be a horse, and how to respond to pressure correctly first in my opinion. y'all did a good job, im just saying it would probably be less hassle just to let the horses teach the little guy how to respond to pressure. makes it easier for the humans in the end. People can't teach a horse how to be a horse. Nice video tho! not trying to hate or anything

Okay they need to learn and no matter what age you decide to do the haltering there not gonna let u put it on he could be 2 months old and would act the same way if a halter was being put on for the first time he needs to learn and his mom can't teach him everything

CRK, I admire your work at introducing beginners to adequate horsemanship, however, I fear that in this video you might be giving a bad example to your beginner followers. At 10 days a horse's brain will not learn anything that is not directly related to its instincts, so there is no point in tickling the baby (unlike dogs, all horses hate being tickled due to instinctive safety reasons) and then restricting him with a halter and roping him around thus stressing the mother and everyone else. If not for other reason, nature deserves some respect. (By the way, you didn't even notice the mare's hind leg message to the defenseless little baby... or was it to you? That I do not know). I am not a theorist person, at least not about horses, but it is apparent that smell is very important for both the foal and the mare in ways that we don't even imagine and so I suppose it is not a good idea to smother the offspring with unrelated smells.

@eliseblair5228

J Merlo “all horses hate being tickled” absolute pile of rubbish! I’ve had foals shove their bums into me asking for more scratches. My KWPN loves having his ears rubbed too. You cannot possibly say that about all horses in the world 🙄. Won’t even go into the myth of putting a smell on the baby.. I however agree this was bombarding the foal a little bit, especially in a small stable with no “escape” route for when it gets too much for mare and foal

It is 100 % alright to halter a foal, as long you are gentle. You really need to start training horses from day 1. It isn't like a bridle, where you have a bit or a hackamore. It's only fabric touching his or her face. As long as you are gentle, and take it slow, it is fine. If the animal is in a lot of distress, that's when you stop. 5 or 10 minutes is about the most you should do, depending on the foal, until they are comfortable with it.

@hannahc6049

6 жыл бұрын

Edda Smith comparing first putting a halter on a foal to taking a new born baby to school is inaccurate. At this age, it's mainly desensitizatising and letting the foal get used to you. The horse equivalent of human kindergarten school would be lunging. High school would be high school dressage or high level of what ever discipline they do. The foal is with his dam the rest of the time, it's not one or the other when is comes to foals.

You shouldn't be messing with the foal or keeping him locked up in a stall, turn them out and leave them be!!

Savannah Chilson making friends and letting the foal get to know people at this age is fine. And you're assuming that they live in the stall 24/7. They most likey get turned out most of the day, weather permitting. Even the big race farms turn out most of the day, they just stall at night.

Anna Harward you're assuming they stay stalled 24/7. Most farms turn out all day as long as weather permits, some do night turn out too. It's a nice stall, at what seems to be a good farm. As far as handling the baby, he should at least "make friends" with humans at this point. Sooner or later, he will have to learn how to be a "good" horse, with at least good ground manners. It's nothing harmful, if anything it sets them up better. They left when the dam started getting nervous, and the baby seemed to like a parting scratch.

Anna Harward. Callie (the trainer) is big on maximum turn out, a look through her channel makes it kinda clear. Since this is a family memebers baby, they likey have a similiar/same opinion on turnout. And again, most good breeders turn out anyways. The chances of him being locked up 24/7 are slim to none. kzread.info/dash/bejne/poyOltyIfMWolps.html
