Excellent explanation of how and why for horse breeding. Agree with foal imprinting. We have done that with our foals for the past 20 years. Your stud has superb ground manners. My Gay Bar Lena stud has been trained to stand quietly even if a mare is 10 feet away. My vet and farrier truly appreciate those ground manners when working on my stud. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so others can learn correct information.
There's no harm to the colt when we introduce deliberately and it's also due to the gestation timing (11 months). We will give them a year off about every other year or two so the mare is not run down.
The mare is not tied because if the stallion takes advantage of an immobilized mare's position he could seriously harm her with kicks which they are prone to doing when establishing dominance. The intention of holding the foal rather than tying it is to pet it and provide a way to soothe it during a stressful time rather than possibly creating injury when pulling back on a rope. Our practices are this way to help the mare breed while being as safe as possible to all, especially the foal.
You are an excellent horseman. Thank you for making this video.
Your videos are hands down the best on TH-cam… Man you really know what you are doing!
@@Bgreen-nn2ly we appreciate it, but we just do what we can on a shoe string budget
Very good video, and very well done!!! Very good speaking voice, and very good presentation!! Thank you very much…
Glad you enjoyed, thank you!
That stallion is unbelievable
All of them are beautiful
A stallion cant possibly have any idea who sired the young foal.
It definitely seems unlikely

@@thomasosburn833 Much appreciated, thank you!
Yes, they can. In the wild, a stallion may take over a group of mares, and he will kill off all the foal from another stud.
Remembers the smell of the mare! He Knows that's his foal. .Mother Nature
Why breed her when she has such a young colt?

Have you ever heard of foal heat. It's when the mare comes in heat again after having her foal.
@@Alex-ft1df thanks
Which mare is dominant?? Age?
That would be Cinnamon. She's the darker sorrel and is about 20. If she breeds this will likely be her last colt.
There’s a black beauty
Very beautiful ❤
🤠👍
The foals pretty though.
Nice
do we leave the ropes on the foals when we leave for the night ?
No, when the foals are released to the pasture and not in a contained space the halters are removed
Well its his horses, so he gets to do whatever he wants with them.
Why isnt the mare tied to the fence and foal should be tied on the other side of fence

Why is that baby in the frigging coral with that stallion!!
Even the stallion and the mare are too.
Horse farm instead of a puppy farm
Except it's not
Im not watching ignorance
