Yea she did

Couldn't agree more the clinical procedure today is something quite wrong.

Why? What are the pros and cons?

@@Ann963 If you force a mare to breed with a stallion its stressful and traumatic. You just release the stud to join the herd and they will do things naturally. Forcing it can result in the mare injuring herself or the stud

I was totally interested in this video until I saw in the beginning someone named horse Trump. So just letting you know, it made me not wanna watch this anybody that would vote for that man is demented as he is.

​@@splitdragon3004 Like ol Katie Van Slyke does. It's terrible imo. Forces the breeding constantly.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it

"pheromone", portmanteau of the Ancient Greek word "phero" meaning "to bear" and the word hormone.

Yakjak... you obviously know nothing about how baby horses are made 😅😅

You've clearly never watched wild herds before either🙄

I know very little about horses but I know this is natural behavior. The mares don’t know this horse or haven’t seen him for a while, they are their own herd and they have young. It’s natural for them to be nervous, curious, or even afraid until they figure out who he is and that he’s not there to hurt the young. I would expect the mares that are in heat might take more easily to him than the ones that are not in heat or with very new foals. In the wild the stallion protects them and keeps them all together. We humans tend to think we know better or that every sign of discomfort means abuse but we really know very little and our interference very often causes immense damage. I watched a video with a beautiful black stallion being taken to a mare to breed. Both were being held by ropes and were in a small corral. The mare clearly was not ready to be bred and tried to kick at the stallion. Had he been free to be himself, he would have moved away and spent some time wooing her but he was held in place by ropes so tightly he could not move his head out of the way. He was kicked square in the head and was dead before he hit the ground. Such a tragedy and loss of a beautiful animal just because humans thought they knew best. Just let them be horses.

@lindalumae I remember that stallion...that was abuse and ended in the worst way...

Adding any new horse to a herd is generally going to add a bit of uneasiness and confusion for a bit. Actually they accepted and calmed down around him far faster than usual of what I have seen in horse interactions, usually it takes several hours if not upwards of a day or two. Most of them definitely knew him even if they hadn't seen him in a bit and if anything they were playing hard to get to see if he still interested in them and was still a suitable stallion. Mares have sass and they will mess with each other and especially stallions around breeding season just because of hormones. There is a reason a lot of ranchers do like geldings over mares, they don't get temperamental like mares often do, doesn't mean they are better but it is a factor you have to consider in a working horse.

I did not know that. 😊 It makes sense though because studs are a bit…. You know! Lol

Mares rule. 😁

In my herd that is NOT true...I wish it was

This is a natural way of breeding horses. This is how horses behave without humans interfering.

It’s a completely natural reaction. Stallion or mare, new horses will always cause a stir as they gotta figure out the pecking order, but they’ll settle in just fine after a day or two 😊

it's completely natural in introducing new horses to the herd

I say the same!! 🥲

@@Random-JustAnother I had a dream of opening a horse retirement ranch, where older race & work horses could live the rest of their lives free, without the threat of a meat truck or euthanasia. I guess there are divorced/single ranchers in their 40's out there somewhere, I just need to find one. Lol

Costs a lot to run a sanctuary.

Awesome! Thank you

He stays with them for a few months before coming back to work

The most fertile time for them is right after they have a baby. The mare will determine when the dead is done, so it depends on their reproductive cycle. The stud will breed all of them over a few months. It can be dangerous, you just have to be smart about how you handle them.

Speak to the hand 🖐️

It's not even the worst in this video.

Not at the moment. But we do from time to time

Yes. It’s the most fertile they will ever be. It’s called the “foal heat”

​@tuckerbrownrab and it's also the worst time to breed. A good breeder would give their mares at least a year between breeding foals, so they can have a rest between. They don't get that in the wild, so all mares are breeding a foal EVERY single year from around 2 to 22 sometimes older. And look at them when this happens. They become very poor physically, and often they will lose a foal due to malnutrition, from the mares diet. Not only that, but the foals themselves don't ever mature properly. They are smaller than normal and don't seem to grow very big. As a human, it's our responsibility to take these things into consideration, especially if we are going to make money from the youngstock.

@@SarahJSwift I can see your reasoning. Our mares have the best nutrition there is. It’s not hard on them. Have we given some a year rest? Yes, if they have a a bad pregnancy or have to for some reason have a c section. You can tell in any of my videos that our horses are probably a little too well fed. Just because we do it different doesn’t make us a bad breeder.

Thank you!!

The mares with foals aren't pregnant, and thus are also breeding mares.

What name? t rump?

Too funny

Horses have a very interesting gestation period that can last for over a year. It’s a very very common practice for this to happen. One of their most fertile moments is actually called the “foal heat” right when their baby is born. So it’s a great time to have them together according to their normal reproductive cycle.

​@@tuckerbrownrabso you keep your mares pregnant all the time then? What do you do with them when they get too old to keep getting bred over and over again? Sadly, lots and lots of horses in kill pens who used to be broodmares who were no longer useful for making money.

@@miaminative6260 some mares are rode and showed. Some mares going in the riding pen. Others get to stay out in the pasture raise the next generation of great ranch horses. We normally sell our mares to other ranchers to use before they age out. To ranchers we trust 👍🏼. We don’t breed for fun… all horses get to work on the ranch with our cowboys and other ranchers across the nation. We love our horses and they are well taken care of.

That is how they breed in the wild she won’t breed till she’s ready

The horse can get rid of the stallion if she wants .

We have been doing it this way for over 100 years. We have never had a problem. One of the most fertile heats they have is the “foal” heat.

And if one knows anything bout horses and breeding them..would know that stallion is NOT gonna hurt his babies...hell I've raised horses my whole life and nvr come across a stud that hurt another studs foal...but that's jus my opinion, I think yal are doin an awesome job...most of these folks in comment section wouldn't know how to sit on a horse let alone tell a horseman how to handle his horses...jus my opinion doesn't really matter to anyone other than myself.

@@cindyporter9894I never bred my horses… although the neighbor’s stud tried a few times. I think this guy is doing a great job - just like in nature - and I care about what you said. I learn best by listening.

Well no one is going to name their horse after a loser… so get over it.

It must be a sad existence for you to have so much hatred inside.

the hell

Ew

Smh. Sick
