Perfect example of "approach and retreat". It really is ok to retreat when a foal gets worried, you won't teach them bad habits. They will appreciate that you understand their concern, and gain trust in you. I know a lot of people are adamant that you must keep applying pressure until the horse 'does the right thing", but with foals in particular that method can really backfire.

So wonderful to see it unfolding so organically and calmly. Thanks for sharing :)

Warwick he’s a beauty. Love to watch the transitioning with him.

I got my first yearling three days ago. My sister was so big on your videos and we both learned so much from you, but I've never had my own young unhandled horse before. I'm terrified I'm going to mess up, so now I'm going through all your foal videos. My colt is super curious, he sniffed my face for the first time yesterday then immediately went and rolled right next to me. I was so happy to see him do that <3

This way of handling horses and foal developement absolutely fits the bill for "How horses would like it to be"!

Just amazing. Thank you.

Consent is everything!

Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

The way you're raising this guy is really interesting to follow. Such a different school of thought from a lot of foal raising.

Feel.

Where do i find the videos before this one on this foal? I am trying not to overhandle my 1mo old filly and want to see how you handled this.

Is his sire the bald face stallion of yours? He is so good looking (both of them)

where is the video with Bohi?

Is rey the reining stud the sire of this colt?

What age do you trim their hoofs?

I haven’t been following you recently, so I don’t know what happened to the mare’s tail. It looks pretty bad.
