LOL 😂

👍👏👏🤣🤣 Good one mate !! That is feckin hilarious !! 👍😂❤️🇦🇺

I had a difficult to catch pony mare as my first horse I had to learn this on my own at age 8.

I find it is often intuitive or discernment with people and animals if we take even a little time to evaluate rather than just GO at 'em! But there's always some learning curve, getting to know the horse, dog or person, even a bit! That c

Ohhhh phones/computers....I seemed to have discernment about most animals, horses and dogs from childhood. I have called out a doberman crouching stalking my 2 Yorkies at my side! I spoke to the Dobie to STAY, picked up 1 Yorkie, them said GO HOME to the Dobie & it went home. I have other such accounts! I was never scared of horses, would go get on Lucy, full size horse by climbing on the fence at 6 & ride her across pasture to play with friends. At 9 in another place I found a horse in next pasture made a noose out of bailing twine, slipped it over his nose climbed in the fence trying to help another child up with me when mother found me 😂 LOL, the teens wouldn't ride him to get the cows up, they were afraid of him! There are more with dogs too! So much I never learned & wish I had when I was younger! Children and animals are so very special!!

Kindness goes a long way with spooky horses

Wouldn't they become dependent on the cookies? I was told using feed/treats to catch horses is bad

@Woodsman the trick is to make it a social visit, not a "Come on. You have to do work" visit. So long as you aren't giving them handfuls of cookies every time, one or two isn't going to hurt them.

@@Creampuffization Ah okay thanks for the insight!

@@woodsman4946 no problem.

SMART…! I BET those horses LOVED YOU…!! ❤️❤️🥰😃👣

Little you were no threat.

Beautiful…true for all living forms! Even plants.

He's the horse whisperer.

Exactly! And people make that mistake all the time when trying to get their horse to into a trailer.

This is pretty much the same for even approaching strangers. It’s interesting how we show each other courtesies and follow social cues, but don’t extend that to animals. Approach a person you don’t know head on and it’s a sign of aggression, but we don’t consider that when approaching animals.

Same with cats. Let them come to you. They are curious & ferrels are afraid. Let them adapt/adopt to your presence.

Same for my guineapig. If you approach her straight on, she will run out and try to bite your toes. She's free roamed in my bedroom and loves the taste of human flesh.

Remarkable juxtaposition Well done!

In business I always held my hand out first to the male with a firm handshake. Shows you are a professional, not intimidated and less pressure for me & them.

@@livelife418 When my military family lived in Orléans, France, the beautiful village where Jeanne d'Arc repelled the British, our adored French teacher was Mme LaPlace. / As for offering your hand first, in previous eras when mothers were home and taught their children proper comportment, it was the woman who decided whether or not to make contact. Alas, none of the little boys continued that courtesy in the corporations I joined.

@@melissastreeter22 I am 74 so we might be in different eras. Maybe I was fast on the draw, but it seemed men were not used to that and respected the confidence it showed. The key word is "seemed"

@@melissastreeter22 Thank you for mentioning your teacher in France. I believe living in foreign countries is the best education in the world. Military family? I imagibe you have some of the most exciting experiences life has to offer along with cultural shock most will never know.

Imprinting.

Exactly

Cats too!

I am 79 & if I can get on a horse, I will ride. Better on 4 feet than 2 & even in equine therapy where they had to load me o the horse, she tried me & I won! They are very smart(or most are), but we can, need to be smarter! Hehehe

thats mud, not scars.

💯

This horse looks young, like a gangly teenager. He also looks relaxed. Perhas he is a rescue that needs to put un a little more weight. Cant really see his ribs, so he is not that thin.

Sounds like my horses 🤣👍❤

Tent. Pegging? Tent? With a T? ⛺️?? From the tradition of soldiers riding into the camp of their enemy and using their lances to remove the Tent pegs in order to collapse the officers tents...and cause mayhem and confusion??

​@@AmazonEventer This answer will be interesting. Am writing a book about medieval mercenaries, surprised to discover this practice often happened at night when the enemy camp was sleeping. Now I learn it actually has a gerund--an action verb ending in "i-n-g."

These guys earn a living teaching people, men and women, how to correctly deal with horses to avoid problems, or to get rid of problems. This keeps horses safe.

You too funny, but not foolish if you learned LOL

I think various things,--. Can be poor feed, riding a young horse too young with much weight & or too long and hard (I heard), probably being stabled & never getting to walk freely & run in pasture, especially as maturing, I believe. These people know more than me. I went to the dogs many years ago & cried so hard when my little App mare left me!
