I've been questioning horse racing and the bad side of it, but these videos really warm me towards how Godolphin look after their horses from day one to the end. Really brilliant videos.
Thank u so much for this wonderful video! I know anyone who watches it will feel blessed!😁

I love horse racing . Although I normally lose . But this kind of care of horses is better than what we are looked after. God may have a special watch on them
I live horses in general, not just the racing. The young ones shortly after they're not are so cute, and it's funny watching first learn to walk, then run, and then find their brakes so to speak, and learn how to use them, so they eventually learn how not to go bouncing off if the fences while they're playing, and having so much fun. They're adorable, and like any youngster if any species, humans 8ncluded, they love running, jumping, and playing, and just having good clean fun in general, and it's a pure pleasure to watch them, especially after they finally have discovered their brakes and how to use them. I wish I had the place and the money to own, and care for at least a few horses myself. They are such beautiful creatures, and very loyal to those who treat them with love, and respect.
Beautifully put by that young woman. The mare at her most vulnerable, powerful and loving. Describes those 15 mins on average it take to foal. Nerve wracking and amazing all at once.
Quite an amazing place for Studding and Training horses. The way you guys post how you take care of them is fantastic gives other facilities everywhere a little insight as to how to take care of such beautiful, loyal, hardworking Creatures. Sometimes depending on what they where meant for(some for racing others for other tasks) and yes sometimes expensive animals again depending on the breeding lines. Such Gorgeous beautiful animals👍🙂
We absolutely LOVE these videos, keep them coming @teamgodolphin!
Thank you Godolphin for providing us with this amazing video. Thank you for thinking of people like me, who love horses, race horses, and the people who care for them. Thank you for this behind the scenes look at the foaling process as this is usually not available to the public. I am so very grateful.

This the only wonderful moment of the industry of thoroughbred racing.PERIOD no questions ask
I loved just the ambience through the video
Great video, thank you.
Maybe one day soon one will get the blanket of 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🇺🇸🐎
Honestly I don't think there's anything.more adorable than a new foul trying to stand. It gets to me " every time". ❤️
Beautiful, simply beautiful. Thank you.
Awww so cute
Informative video . Beautiful to watch the fouling of these lovely animals . These people are hard working and caring and the birthing and the caring for of these fabulous horses is amazing !!!
Love. And an excellent resource as I begin illustrating and designing a children’s picture book showing a foal’s first steps, for a story beautifully written to help children overcome their fear of the dark. This video is beautifully helpful. ♥️
Lovely film. Thanks!
Fantastic organitation, cradle of future champions. Much love for borses, i loved the video!

Why do they have to have halters on in a stall
If there are no problems, is it necessary to interfere the way they do?
Pitiful! They treat these creatures as if they were a vehicle coming off an assembly line. No compassion or concern except will it make us money! This is the dark side of the human race! This is just greed and selfishness. Pitiful!
"You have to have patience."
*Gets right behind the mare and starts yanking things out*
This is great!
Exactly it’s nature but people can’t leave alone
Are you talking about the fact they are there during the foaling? If so, go check out a video by Little Hooves, they just lost a foal, and almost lost the mare (though she isn't out of the woods yet) due to serious birthing complications. Not only was the foal in the wrong position, they had a red bag delivery, where the placenta detaches too early (the foal then basically suffocates if not pulled out fast enough). The only thing that saved that mare was the fact she was in a stall and they were able to quickly try and do something. Had she been left out in a field overnight, chances are they would have gone out in the morning and she would have been dead on the ground. This was also the second red bag delivery they had dealt with in the last two years, though with the other one they were lucky enough to be able to save the foal as well, again due to the fact they intervened. Considering one of the breeds they are producing there is endangered, they need to be as careful as possible to ensure maximum chances the foal, and mother survive. Therefore, I can completely understand why these people are present, and able to assist if necessary in the birth of these horses, some of which could be worth millions.
Ikr its ok look if everything Is going as planed but They're just all over the poor baby
@@lunar1135 In this video, what you saw the people do immediately after birth is wipe the face and nose of the foal in order to clear any residual fluid from the amniotic sac, particularly in the nose where it can prevent the foal being able to breathe properly. There is no poor baby about this, just a team of people not willing to take chances.
@@SpottedLeafy I dont have a problem with them freeing the airway but the rest should be done by the mare
They're just touching the foal all over and getting their scent on it (which has a higher risk that the mare will reject it because it doesnt smell like her) and they're keeping the mom on the halter the whole time and wont let her really bond with her foal
@@lunar1135 The one thing I'll agree with you on is the halter, I didn't like that, nor did I like seeing it on her out in the pasture, that's actually quite dangerous, and highly unnecessary, particularly when she was being held while the foal went to nurse for the first time. However, we'll have to agree to disagree on the foal handling. All I saw during the birth (the only time that matters in terms of rejection really) was them clearing the airways, and then positioning the foal better for the mare to lick, which is what initiates bonding.
Exactly how does this bring the warrior out in them ? Your making show horses......
Not show horses, race horses, so yes warriors
I came across an interesting cultural difference when I was talking to some folks from the UK. Here in the US, horses are more associated with farming and with rugged outdoors than anything else.
In the UK, horses are extremely posh. Only the richest of the rich ride horses. Or, at least, that was the impression I got from talking to folks from the UK.
Here, you can rent rides on horses. It's a tourist thing in rural areas. Also, cattle ranchers have horses- if you have the land for it already, dogs and horses are a relatively cheap way to heard cattle. Sure, if you live in the city then horses are kinda expensive, but you also can't show them off to your rich friends like you can with a fancy motorcycle or sports car.
This video reinforces the cultural difference. The attitude these folks have towards horses is reverent. And yeah, they're the finest racing horses, but they're just horses. The horses don't care if they're in a multi-million dollar facility with multiple vets on hand or if they're in a barn with the farmer making sure the foal comes out right.
I have no idea why horses are considered really fancy over there. Maybe they aren't used for farm work anymore? Maybe cattle isn't a big thing over there?
'Richest of the rich' would be an exaggeration but riding is certainly seen as posh. The UK has 20% of the US population but it's slightly smaller than Oregon so space is at more of a premium. And yeah, horses aren't typically used for farmwork. We have cattle but they aren't ranging free over large areas and needing to be rounded up!
Having said that, I'd question what % of horses in the US are actual working animals rather than ridden for pleasure. Btw this video isn't from the UK.
Amazing to watch.
Amazing X horses here are treasured X o good to see X
Do all the retirees go to riding homes? I feel badly about the slaughterline-Does that happen in Ireland?
I know it’s a year later but Godolphin has one of the biggest rehoming programs. And inpons the anti racing people want you to believe a large majority of racehorses do go on to happy retirements either as a breeder or retrained. Just because there’s a Thoroughbred at slaughter don’t mean it came straight of the track. I know there was an ex racehorse in a kill pen. It been retired and rehomed 10 years prior to a show home. Not sure who sent the horse there but it wasn’t racing, but of course racing got blamed.
Is Dubawi from them?
Some riders do have to be careful I know for a fact when a horse sometimes cannot breath when going a round lets say a 1/2 lenght of full race track the weight of the rider is very important. Commen sense don't put a 300 pound rider on a foul Stupid very Stupid not even an old horse can take that weight!! Not even to go geese/animal hunting!!
WHAT are you talking about? The horse racing industry doesn't put 300 pounds on any horse, let alone foals, which are not ridden. Jockeys on the flat starve themselves to weigh 109-118 pounds. Handicap races used to add weights of up to (rarely) the low 140's, but true handicap races or weights above 130 lb are pretty much defunct in the U.S. Jockeys for steeplechase races weigh up to 140 pounds. Exercise riders pretty much top at 150 pounds.
Jockeys usually weigh up to 150 pounds.
@@rusty2998 *NO.* Not for flat racing. Not in the United States, and not elsewhere that I know of. Weights for exercise riders top out at about 150 lbs; steeplechase riders can up to about 140 lbs, so maybe they can go up to 150 lbs.
But for flat racing, the weight of a jockey usually ranges from 108 to 118 lb (49 to 54 kg).
Even decades ago, when true handicap races were being contested in the United States, and extra weight being assigned to the best horses, 130 -134 pounds was high, 135+ pounds exceptionally high. Jockeys had to weigh much less than those atypical weights. The very most I am aware of any handicap horse ever being assigned was the great Australian horse Phar Lap, who carried 150 once, back in the 1930's.
The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Europe's most prestigious flat race, is weight-for-age, with older males carrying top weight of 59.5 kilograms, or 130 pounds. Three-year-old colts and fillies carry less.
In the American Triple Crown races, the 3-year-old males carry a total of 126 pounds, fillies less (121, I think). In the Breeders' Cup races, a weight-for-age event run in the autumn, males 4 years and up carry 126 pounds, 3-yr-olds and females get a 3-lb allowance. In non-stakes races in the U.S. -- meaning the vast majority of American races -- many horses will be carrying under 115 pounds.
@@marysueeasteregg That's why I said *UP TO* 150 pounds. I know what the average desired weight for flat and steeple are. If I didn't know anything i wouldn't comment.
@@rusty2998 Then you should have specified jumps (which isn't what most people think of when they hear jockey). The high handicap weights I referred to included pounds of lead weights.
150 foals a year just in this one top facility!? There are just way too many horses bred each year 😞
Zoe_andherfurryfriends It used to be like 4x as many
Yep. And considering most of these horses born will only be needed for about 30 mins of racing in total their entire lives
Over half of them are sold off. 150 foals a year doesn't mean 150 hit the racetrack under that company. About 60-100 are actually kept. Foals can go up for adoption after 6 months to a year after they've been weaned naturally. Other companies want to buy some foals so that's how people make money. There's really no overproduction as the facility is quite large and can practically house over thousands of horses.
Actually foal crops are down, but I agree many horses are overbred.
Why does this place look like a jail?
Fortunate horse to be in racing.

I grew up with horses my grandparents had a farm and we had 12, horses and four foals. I don't agree with horse racing at all it's cruel and totally unnecessary. It's all about money and not the horses, which breaks my heart. These magnificent horses deserve a normal life not as a money making machine .
Your mom made money...on the street corner
End horse racing.
Stop breeding horses. Too many
Yea don't breed yourself...
