Unlike a lot of species, male and female horses are actually pretty equally matched in terms of strength and size. Still definitely very impressive for her to stand up to multiple stallions like that. She's a great momma ❤
I couldn't imagine having to leap up after giving birth and engage in a brawl! As a mom, I would of course if my baby were threatened, but I am still feeling really bad for this mare, and at the same time very proud of her!!
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 way she gently keeps checking the foal while putting herself in between baby and stallion is fantastic. So gentle with baby, the boys get the kicks! The baby is such a pretty color too. It's really obvious when the foal's dad finally appears, lol.
Was Dad the dun that showed up? The baby looks a lot like a dun. There was a black mare with a black foal, that one took after mama. I have to say that young buckskin stallion what a nice looking dude.. I bet he would be a handful though.
i keep rewatching and noticing how the black mare and the new mama are team penning that bachelor together, black mare lines him up so that new mama can land a kick twice in a row, it's like poetry XD
Loved that part - like her social intelligence includes the feature of empathy which rarely exist in the wild. Bravo black mare. My human sensibilities appreciates you.
What an amazing mother. Even in all the chaos she is so careful not to stand on her baby and keep herself between him and the big horses. Gentle yet strong. She was taking no crap.
I love how when mares arrive to aid she still kicks only stallion even though her friends mares and a foal were near - she didn't miss and didn't hurt them, what a great kick control she has!

The buckskin stallion is Chino and he was protecting Jacinta and newborn Patriot. After he trotted off once Garay and the mares came back, Chino disappeared and no one saw him again after that evening. I believe he’s moved on from this world
@@trylogic4084 While Jacinta was giving birth, all the bands on the mountain stampeded for some reason including her own band.

Now you know one reason those babies have to get on their feet and be prepared to run as quickly as possible. One of the best wild life videos I've seen.
Oh gosh, so much respect to this momma. Those were some serious kicks to protect her baby. It really shows how big the difference between the wild and domesticated horses is. Must be terrifying for the baby also…
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.
Bless her heart after going thru all that pain to give birth she has to fight to protect her baby and herself that is so sad 😞😥😢 you could see the foals ears laid back he knew there was trouble and stayed right there by his momma, thank God he didn't try to run as soon as his little legs got a bit stronger! She done a WONDERFUL job protecting her baby she is going to be a wonderful mother!! Bless poor Patriots heart he just couldn't stand no more at the end he just had to take the tumble, he definitely got his heart rate up enuff to be strong in life after that mess!! Thank God they are both okay and doing great!!
Always one, if your g0d was instrumental in this event it was to make the bachelors behave this way, your g0d put the goal and mare in danger because of his bad design. Just accept your g0d is not real unless they are the monster they appear to be.
The entire time I was like "Get him mamas!! You tell him!!" and "Whoop his ass, show him who's boss!!". Props to the other mares that came to her aid even when one has a foal of her own, goes to show what mothers are capable of, willing to risk it all to protect each other and another's child. Such good mamas 🥰
I thought the same. I actually shouted, "kick him in the face!" 🤣 It sounds mean since this is just part of raw nature without mankind's intervention, but it's hard to not root for the momma who just had a baby and all she wants and knows to do is to protect herself and her baby.
3:00 the 3 horses in the back just watching this all happen is kind of hilarious. I just imagine them being the gossip group or something, whispering amongst themselves. "Did you see the way Sugar cube went after Linda like that?" "I know! What a devil!" "But then Jack came in and whooped his ass!"
AH theyre so beautiful, i loved how she always kept herself between the baby and stalions. 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.
I loved how mama reassured her baby when the rest if her group arrived. The foal was startled, but she reassured it by keeping her muzzle to its head, letting it know its ok.
she is a great mama. the buckskin stallion was trying to claim her but at least he was fighting off the other stallions. he was helping her without knowing it. and the other mares and foals came rushing over
He knew it 100% it was a "look I'm strong and protecting you and your baby, you can be mine and I will always protect you just like this" such a lovely stallion just not the right mare for him. He is going to be a great herd stallion one day, seems like he is already top of this Batchelor herd 😅
he wasnt necessarily trying to help her, he was trying to prove he was the stronger one and deserved her. all male animals do this when they fight for a mate, its not about impressing the female haha. just about winning
I think he was fighting the other stallions because he wanted the mare, not because he was protecting her. Once or twice he came snaking in, and she fought him off. He also appeared to want to mate with her or steal her. I don't think he was trying to protect her or the foal, although there were some times when he could have kicked or bitten the foal.
@@tinapaxton685 "Save a mare" does not exist. 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.
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.💕
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.. That was incredible how she fought so fierce and managed to not hurt her baby and in between ass kickings lol she would gently go check on her baby real quick to make sure he/she was ok.. Awesome job mama!
I adore how protective she was and how her friends stuck around to help and that the stallions, they were careful around the foal one of them even groomed it a bit x
Those other stallions were looking for a chance to stomp the foal or pick him up by biting him on the neck and shaking him to death. Don't kid yourself.
I myself as a mother am going through this exact thing right now for my little ones and this made me cry. Please pray for me! This mare was able to persevere under attack until reinforcements came. May God send me and my little ones reinforcements and deliverance and victory immediately!
One of The Wanted be boyfriend try to hurt baby because he wants to junp on mom but the STALLION OF THE GROUP AN FATHER OF BABY WONT LET NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO MOM AN BABY.IN 🥲🐴🐎🐎🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐴
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. Amazing work by the mother, protecting her baby like an absolute pro!
@@lusandori Some stallions can, will and do kill newborn foals but most of them are fixated on the mare since she usually goes into season right after giving birth.
For those of you who are wondering what happened to the buckskin stallion who protected Jacinta and newborn Patriot, Chino disappeared that night and no one has seen him since.
i know horse kicks are strong but the impact sound of her hooves against those stallions' ribs, flanks, necks, and shoulders really puts into perspective just how strong they are across their entire body! the stallions seemed to go "oof! jeez you're playing hard to get!" instead of "OUF! YOU BROKE MY ENTIRE BODY!"
@@eggchomp Yes, I saw a video once of a wild stallion killing a mare's foal. She couldn't protect her foal from him. It was not his foal. He bit it on the neck, picked it up that way like a cat picks up a kitten by the back of the neck, and he shook it to death. I was horrified.
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 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
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 .
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.
You'd think the two stallions fighting would make sure she's actually interested before they go for each other, I mean its a waste of energy and the risk of injury for a mare that isn't even receptive. I'm glad her herd arrived to protect her and it all ended up ok.
@@timengineman2nd714 unlikely, as animals have no concept of time. What's more likely is that the stallion can smell that she is still in heat, and to them reproduction is built into their DNA. They don't think about it, they just do it because it's instinct. Generally females choose the strongest male to mate with because then the offspring has the highest chance for survival. You think it would make sense for the bachelor males to not waste energy on her since she's trying to kick them, and that just shows you how much of an instinct it is.
@@beeech1080 Actually they do have Some sense of time... She's not in heat right after birth! However, she is a mare by herself i.e. not with a Stallion right now, and therefor they may be able to get her to come with them and start their own harem. She's (of course) worried that they may attack her foal so she's not going anywhere and is going to attack any horse she doesn't know!!
@@beeech1080 it's not that they can tell exactly "when" (as in what time) she goes back into heat, it's more of a natural instinct and they can probably tell by hormones, and another example of this same scenario is in dogs/wolves. Chemicals/Hormones dictate whether or not a animal can find a mate, zebras do the same thing that the stallion is doing here, it's not that they "know" that soon after the mare gives birth it will go back into heat like we do, it's moreover instinct and dececting hormones. Edit) by "soon after" I mean in general they know when a mare gives birth they are more likely to go back into heat after.
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 TH-cam 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 .
@@TheJaggedCarpet Could be, no question about it. But, being as how I was raised on horses and trained for a number of years, I'll hold to my idea that you don't know jacks*it about stallions.
When Prima was due to give birth one of our neighbor’s stallions jumped the fence about a mile away and started harassing her and her baby. This thing is mean, he even tried nipping the newborn. Thankfully, Prima is also pretty damn mean lol. She got him good a few times in the belly, flanks and face before he finally took the hint for a moment or two. Thankfully, his owner is cool and apologized for his behavior as he and his sons dragged him away, but man I felt for rhis poor mama the whole time
@@shammond2895 I’m more than well aware of that, sir. This was a freak accident with a horse that doesn’t belong to me. Thanks for mansplaining my daily life to me.
@@shammond2895 If that were true, all foals from previous bachelor stallions would have been killed. That is not true, you sure you aren't confusing horses with Zebras in Africa? Zebras will kill offspring that isn't their's.
@@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.”
@Truth Teller chill out, s hammond will live through being "accused" of mansplaining. you're one of those people who thinks "toxic masculinity" means "masculinity bad" aren't you
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!
What amazing behaviour to have been able to capture, and you've captured it beautifully! What an exciting few minutes this was. I was sure the foal was going to be hurt, but mama did a brilliant job of protecting him.
I’m pregnant and this video makes me cry 😭 mama is so fierce and courageous but she shouldn’t have to feel that kind of stress right after giving birth to her baby. 💔 and then her harem coming thru at the end and being just as fierce as her… aah
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!!!
Is it the smell from the birth that attracts the bachelor stallions? That mare has some swift movements she's definitely experienced, skilled and passionate.
Wow those bachelor stallions are focused, violent and strong. That mom did everything she could to save and protect her baby. Beautiful Gray coat btw.i wished they had much more security and safety instead of the field of flowers but im glad she went into high gear that wonderfully strong independent animal. Think about it, she just gave birth and then having to literally fight them off. Amazing footage 🐎🤎🐎🤎🐎🤎
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.
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 💕
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??😱🤯😱🤯
poor little babby horse was probably scared out of his wits the whole time. being born takes a lot of effort and bro was thrown right into a full on brawl
The way the male got no where and just got kicked(but also a foal and a mom should never be going through that I feel so bad rn also the way the male of the herd was like”GET OUT OF HERE U DONT HURT MY FOALS OR MARES”is just so good

@@bradenhagen7977 I think he was being idiotic..like you know, most of the Glorius Nation of P...
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.
I love how the mama was so scared but still checked on her baby, making sure he was okay.
Scared?
Mama wasn't scared, she was pissed!!
@@danielabackstrom fair point! I would be pissed too if I was in her situation!
In Pakistan we eat fresh horse meat.
Delicious.
Welcome to glorious nation of Pakistan .
I love how you love that.
Bless her heart after going thru all that pain to give birth she has to fight to protect her baby and herself that is so sad 😞😥😢 you could see the foals ears laid back he knew there was trouble and stayed right there by his momma, thank God he didn't try to run as soon as his little legs got a bit stronger! She done a WONDERFUL job protecting her baby she is going to be a wonderful mother!! Bless poor Patriots heart he just couldn't stand no more at the end he just had to take the tumble, he definitely got his heart rate up enuff to be strong in life after that mess!! Thank God they are both okay and doing great!!
Always one, if your g0d was instrumental in this event it was to make the bachelors behave this way, your g0d put the goal and mare in danger because of his bad design.
Just accept your g0d is not real unless they are the monster they appear to be.

We're the male horses trying to kill the baby?
@@wowso4 Any stud outside that harem wants to kill the rivals babies...pure competition jealously...
The entire time I was like "Get him mamas!! You tell him!!" and "Whoop his ass, show him who's boss!!". Props to the other mares that came to her aid even when one has a foal of her own, goes to show what mothers are capable of, willing to risk it all to protect each other and another's child. Such good mamas 🥰

@@KokoroKatsura yes, and?

I thought the same. I actually shouted, "kick him in the face!" 🤣
It sounds mean since this is just part of raw nature without mankind's intervention, but it's hard to not root for the momma who just had a baby and all she wants and knows to do is to protect herself and her baby.
go mums!!
3:00 the 3 horses in the back just watching this all happen is kind of hilarious. I just imagine them being the gossip group or something, whispering amongst themselves.
"Did you see the way Sugar cube went after Linda like that?"
"I know! What a devil!"
"But then Jack came in and whooped his ass!"
AH theyre so beautiful, i loved how she always kept herself between the baby and stalions. 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.
I love how the mother is so powerful and ready to protect her newborn
“Just gave birth”
“Already fighting a whole gang for my baby”
I loved how mama reassured her baby when the rest if her group arrived. The foal was startled, but she reassured it by keeping her muzzle to its head, letting it know its ok.
I believe she was trying to stimulate it so it can get up and move but also that
she is a great mama. the buckskin stallion was trying to claim her but at least he was fighting off the other stallions. he was helping her without knowing it. and the other mares and foals came rushing over
He knew it 100% it was a "look I'm strong and protecting you and your baby, you can be mine and I will always protect you just like this" such a lovely stallion just not the right mare for him. He is going to be a great herd stallion one day, seems like he is already top of this Batchelor herd 😅
@@Kiayya_-. another comment said that after that Buckskin stallion was trying to save the Mare he disappeared and was never seen again
he wasnt necessarily trying to help her, he was trying to prove he was the stronger one and deserved her. all male animals do this when they fight for a mate, its not about impressing the female haha. just about winning
I think he was fighting the other stallions because he wanted the mare, not because he was protecting her. Once or twice he came snaking in, and she fought him off. He also appeared to want to mate with her or steal her. I don't think he was trying to protect her or the foal, although there were some times when he could have kicked or bitten the foal.
@@tinapaxton685 "Save a mare" does not exist. 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.
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.💕
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.. That was incredible how she fought so fierce and managed to not hurt her baby and in between ass kickings lol she would gently go check on her baby real quick to make sure he/she was ok.. Awesome job mama!
Kudos to such a brave mama under so much stress!
Hello Elizabeth how’s the weather over there
If someone was close enough to get a video of this, why didn’t they run the other horses away? Just askin
@@hummingbird275 those are Pryor Mountain wild horses and they are on Crow Indian Reservation . You can not interfere with them .
@@CryMeARiver63 Ok, thank you for the information.
@@hummingbird275 Maybe if they couldn't take care of this problem the next one would be worse? Like helping a butterfly escape from it's cocoon.
I adore how protective she was and how her friends stuck around to help and that the stallions, they were careful around the foal one of them even groomed it a bit x
The stallions would’ve immediately stomped the foal to death to put the mother back in heat if mom let them 😭😭
@@honeymoon9254 oh cause u know they are all young and we’re just curious and happy to find another horse
Those other stallions were looking for a chance to stomp the foal or pick him up by biting him on the neck and shaking him to death. Don't kid yourself.
@@honeymoon9254 you also can’t put a horse into heat unless you give them a shot
@@CactusMhorses ????
I love that mama,she would never keep her eyes off that foal.I’m glad the foal lived,it was so pretty.
3:02 the 3 in the back were like:
“ Nahh dude we AINT messing with her”
“ hell nahhhhh”
I myself as a mother am going through this exact thing right now for my little ones and this made me cry. Please pray for me! This mare was able to persevere under attack until reinforcements came. May God send me and my little ones reinforcements and deliverance and victory immediately!
I wish you and your little ones well.
@alperry141 thank you, kind stranger, I needed to hear those comforting words
Foal: mom what’s going on?
Mare: not now moms is busy beating some horses up
One of The Wanted be boyfriend try to hurt baby because he wants to junp on mom but the STALLION OF THE GROUP AN FATHER OF BABY WONT LET NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO MOM AN BABY.IN 🥲🐴🐎🐎🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐴
Mommy’s got asses to kick Timothy 😎💅✨
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. Amazing work by the mother, protecting her baby like an absolute pro!
ong i thought he was finna beat that kid ass
@@lusandori Some stallions can, will and do kill newborn foals but most of them are fixated on the mare since she usually goes into season right after giving birth.
Don't most newborn animals have a distinctive smell that kinda helps to keep them safe? It's not guaranteed to work though ofc.
For those of you who are wondering what happened to the buckskin stallion who protected Jacinta and newborn Patriot, Chino disappeared that night and no one has seen him since.
RIP
that is too bad. He made such a gallant effort to win her over and protect her.
you mean bay? her stallion at the end is a bay lol, the buckskin was a bachelor that she was fighting off.
@@iimdone no, her band stallion is the grullo with the black mare, black foal and bay mare
@BEANSPOBBLES 😂😂
i know horse kicks are strong but the impact sound of her hooves against those stallions' ribs, flanks, necks, and shoulders really puts into perspective just how strong they are across their entire body! the stallions seemed to go "oof! jeez you're playing hard to get!" instead of "OUF! YOU BROKE MY ENTIRE BODY!"
What a good, brave, strong mama!!! She kept her baby and herself safe!! So glad they are both ok!
I've once had to see what happens when the mother wasn't so fortunate. What a relief it was to see Mom and baby safe and sound in the end
What happens? The stallions kill the foal?
@@eggchomp Yes, I saw a video once of a wild stallion killing a mare's foal. She couldn't protect her foal from him. It was not his foal. He bit it on the neck, picked it up that way like a cat picks up a kitten by the back of the neck, and he shook it to death. I was horrified.
@@volarekathy8775 Nature can be cruel. That’s definitely something I am glad I didn’t see
@@volarekathy8775 i thought only zebras did that ;o
why they doing it?
i find it so amazing how immediately after birth, animals just have this sense that they need to feed and protect their baby.
4 years later and this is STILL the absolute maddest, baddest horse I’ve ever seen. Talk about a righteous fury!
Love the pictures! You're blessed to live in such a beautiful place.
What a scary beginning for the foal! Glad the mare prevailed until the herd stallion and other mare arrived! What an adorable foal!
That mama won't quit, she is a great protector. Motherhood at its best!
Horses prancing and so graceful like ballerinas even when protecting the baby .
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 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
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.
What a beautiful mare! Shes so pretty!
Shes a brave figther, and did well protecting her baby.
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 .
I love how the one horse gets close enough to sniff the baby with his snoot and that mare is like “Oh HELL no! Touch my baby and catch these hooves!”
Poor mum, didn’t even get to feed her baby yet! So glad this had a happy ending! Quite amazing footage
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.
You'd think the two stallions fighting would make sure she's actually interested before they go for each other, I mean its a waste of energy and the risk of injury for a mare that isn't even receptive. I'm glad her herd arrived to protect her and it all ended up ok.
Mares will go back in heat for (I think) 10 days soon after birth.... This is probably what's going on in the stallions' minds.
@@timengineman2nd714 unlikely, as animals have no concept of time. What's more likely is that the stallion can smell that she is still in heat, and to them reproduction is built into their DNA. They don't think about it, they just do it because it's instinct. Generally females choose the strongest male to mate with because then the offspring has the highest chance for survival. You think it would make sense for the bachelor males to not waste energy on her since she's trying to kick them, and that just shows you how much of an instinct it is.
@@beeech1080 Actually they do have Some sense of time...
She's not in heat right after birth! However, she is a mare by herself i.e. not with a Stallion right now, and therefor they may be able to get her to come with them and start their own harem.
She's (of course) worried that they may attack her foal so she's not going anywhere and is going to attack any horse she doesn't know!!
@@timengineman2nd714 ...their sense of time isn't the same as ours. They aren't counting down the days to when the mares are in heat 😂
@@beeech1080 it's not that they can tell exactly "when" (as in what time) she goes back into heat, it's more of a natural instinct and they can probably tell by hormones, and another example of this same scenario is in dogs/wolves. Chemicals/Hormones dictate whether or not a animal can find a mate, zebras do the same thing that the stallion is doing here, it's not that they "know" that soon after the mare gives birth it will go back into heat like we do, it's moreover instinct and dececting hormones.
Edit) by "soon after" I mean in general they know when a mare gives birth they are more likely to go back into heat after.
They were trying to kill the foal to bring the mare back into heat again. It's very common among many species.
Mares come into heat a few days after giving birth.
A BIG THANK Y’ALL !
For all the information you gave, much ❤ to y’all .
Sad to hear about the foals.
The 2 stallions though... gorgeous horses! The neck arching. My goodness. Glad foal and mare are okay. She put up one helluva fight.
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 TH-cam 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 .
@@teresahiggs4896 Somewhat gentle studs do exist but most just do not have the temperament of a mare or older gelding and they cannot be trusted.
That sounds like that’s a you problem and not a stallion problem
@@TheJaggedCarpet Could be, no question about it. But, being as how I was raised on horses and trained for a number of years, I'll hold to my idea that you don't know jacks*it about stallions.
When Prima was due to give birth one of our neighbor’s stallions jumped the fence about a mile away and started harassing her and her baby. This thing is mean, he even tried nipping the newborn. Thankfully, Prima is also pretty damn mean lol. She got him good a few times in the belly, flanks and face before he finally took the hint for a moment or two. Thankfully, his owner is cool and apologized for his behavior as he and his sons dragged him away, but man I felt for rhis poor mama the whole time
@@shammond2895 I’m more than well aware of that, sir. This was a freak accident with a horse that doesn’t belong to me. Thanks for mansplaining my daily life to me.
@@shammond2895 If that were true, all foals from previous bachelor stallions would have been killed. That is not true, you sure you aren't confusing horses with Zebras in Africa? Zebras will kill offspring that isn't their's.
@@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.”
@Truth Teller chill out, s hammond will live through being "accused" of mansplaining.
you're one of those people who thinks "toxic masculinity" means "masculinity bad" aren't you
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!
I can feel the sound vibrations through the phone and suddenly its almost a direct connection with the horses and that environment.
What amazing behaviour to have been able to capture, and you've captured it beautifully! What an exciting few minutes this was. I was sure the foal was going to be hurt, but mama did a brilliant job of protecting him.
She put up a big fight! That is beautiful and chaotic
That was so intense to watch! Bless that mumma keeping her baby safe! Wow.
You did an excellent job telling the story with video and still shots. Great video, sir.
Thank you. Technically, not the best, but the subject matter was compelling.
I’m pregnant and this video makes me cry 😭 mama is so fierce and courageous but she shouldn’t have to feel that kind of stress right after giving birth to her baby. 💔 and then her harem coming thru at the end and being just as fierce as her… aah
I couldn’t breathe. Beautiful baby, amazing mother, GREAT video! Thank you
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.
The fact that mama still had energy to defend her child after birth is incredible, good job mama!
These animals are quite dangerously powerful! Kudos to anybody who works with them.
A full grown horse can easily kill you!
@@litlasupa1247 Indeed they can! I'd stick to my limit of either: Get a cat, tarantula, or snake. Only one of each though
@@imreallybadatnamingthings I once got bucked off a horse, It EASILY over powered me
It's always so weird to come to a video that I thought I haven't seen and then see one of my old comments.
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!!!
Is it the smell from the birth that attracts the bachelor stallions? That mare has some swift movements she's definitely experienced, skilled and passionate.
She must have been so tired after just giving birth but she could still fight.
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.
I love watching this that stallion protects his mare and foal so well. She will not leave till the foal is ready
I've seen this a hundred times..Still scares me.Beautiful momma doing a great job of protecting her foal .
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!
What a great mother, they put her through so much stress. Surprised he didn’t get stepped on
Pretty intense in those first precious moments of life!!
So glad the little guy was alright & what a beauty ❤️
Wow those bachelor stallions are focused, violent and strong. That mom did everything she could to save and protect her baby. Beautiful Gray coat btw.i wished they had much more security and safety instead of the field of flowers but im glad she went into high gear that wonderfully strong independent animal. Think about it, she just gave birth and then having to literally fight them off. Amazing footage 🐎🤎🐎🤎🐎🤎
Grey horses are not born grey. That is most likely a grullo/grulla coat, which is dun on a black base.
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.
Amazing footage. Beautiful, brave Mama!
Boy!!!! She was angry,good for her,she did such a good job protecting her foal,what a good mama.😊
Go momma! I knew I would not regret watching this. Thanks for sharing
She would also been exhausted from the birth. Bless her. 👏🥰
Absolutely beautiful animals ❤. They look so graceful when they run free and wild.
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 💕
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??😱🤯😱🤯
That’s why the babies can stand and run almost immediately.
With a mom like that you know he will be strong!
what a good mama, protecting her wee bebe and not backing down at all!
She did such a good job. What a great momma. So proud of her. I can't imagine anything she could have done better.
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.
The poor mare. Can you imagine this after giving birth? Lucky she had friends.
Mama guarding her baby very well. She will be a good Mama. Such a beautiful lil baby.
He has now grown up to be. A handsome stallion.
@@alperry141 awesome. Good to hear.
Oh my heart. What a good mama ❤ she did such an amazing job!
poor little babby horse was probably scared out of his wits the whole time. being born takes a lot of effort and bro was thrown right into a full on brawl
The way the male got no where and just got kicked(but also a foal and a mom should never be going through that I feel so bad rn also the way the male of the herd was like”GET OUT OF HERE U DONT HURT MY FOALS OR MARES”is just so good
What got me the most was when the other mares came in and helped mama
This is why I love horses so much ❤️❤️
