Horses Are The Absolute BEST Teachers For Us For Horse Training

While hanging out with the horses, I realized again how easy it is to see how amazing horses are in teaching us about how to be around horses. I do my best to learn the most I can from my horses so I can be a better handler and friend to and for them, I learn far more from my horses than I have ever learned from people and I hope you do too!

Our store is where you can purchase lessons, trims, training and some merchandise! or help out with a bale of hay or haybag for the horses.

We made a cool little movie going for a ride in our famous local park, Golden Ears Park. Check that out here:

Wilde is bulking up nicely. Looks like he is a lighter color, too. He and Luke used to be the same color.

Luke and Mr Wildie are perfect team, so happy to see him having fun

[naomisawyer]

Colors are gorgeous. Thank you. So much fun watching the horses.

Those cheeky little monkeys are real bridge eaters!!! Lots of fun with the kids. I enjoyed the time with them. Glad to see them all having fun together. Gracey she is just the best. They are all great!!!

Licking the ground for salt deposits. Most horses around me do that when there is ground or sandy like areas. My dads Amish friend and his 6 Belgians do that all the time even though they have 4 salt lick blocks, they still go oh look bare ground time to lick it and the larger rocks around. LOL,

Time for some anti cribbing ointment or sauce to put a stop to that making toothpicks out of that bridge.

I love it, thank you very much 👍 each one is so adorable😍 Gracie = Gracie 😀I thought the storm was yesterday. So keep our fingers crossed, for the forthcoming one. Unless you know your horse very well and he knows you, it's best to always warn him of your approach.. Mine accepted my coming under his blind spots, you have to. I think horses not liking their face being touched are the ones who had a bad experience from man or never got used to it, the gentle way, learning how human can provide well being and scratches.. And not only nasty bridles, pulling their mouth, pressing their nose or touching their ears

Lovely observations of their interactions! Goodness I miss being around horses. My papa has a farm and trained horses. Such a beautiful way to grow up!

Wilde likes to play the drum, he's a very rhythmic horse. Is his nose and jaw line squarer than the horses or is that just look like that from the camera? I love seeing him coming into his own now. It's so much fun watching them all play, thank you for sharing today. It's funny you got that weather coming in. We do too here in New Hampshire tomorrow night, what they call a nor'easter, heavy winds and rain. I hate wind, it can be so damaging.

[normafollet]

It makes you wonder, why anyone would even think of killing any of such beautiful animals as horses? In the time all your horses are in a good place and well cared for. It is a pity the world of horses didnt get the same treatment. (Happy horses). 🐴👍

At first I thought Wildie ❤ was doing the barrel kicking because the sound inside it might have been interesting to him but, now that I saw him pawing the sand and hitting the barrel like you've mentioned, maybe that's their natural reaction to water, or when they try to get water from somewhere like under the ice, and then he ends up kicking the barrel. It's funny.
He got really startled when you told him to move away from the bridge. He even jumped a bit, maybe because Gracie was a little behind him and Luke was next to him, then I guess he realized "oh, it's the human".

[clonejones]

Oscar probably had to dig in water holes and break ice drinking out on the land in his wild days.Might explain the pawing.

[sasmythe]

I think it is easier to see where the surface of the water is if you pound the container with your hoof.

[patriciagriffiths]

It's so lovely to watch them play. Thank you for sharing Graeme. I'm always grateful what you bring to us.xx

Just a thought about the horses licking the ground in that particular part of the arena. Does rainwater contain salts? I suppose it does, and maybe, because the rainwater tends to run down towards the forest (and a river somewhere, presumably), salts, i.e. minerals, are deposited there at the top. I don't know ...

[deedeedavid]

Norma and PFKat, I've noticed that also. It seems fairly typical of feral horses, in US as well as Canada. In past, Arab blood was added to indigenous breeds to add "refinement." I too wonder why his head is larger, squarer? Graeme, do you have any thoughts on this?

[normafollet]

Notice how wildie has a more thicker jaw line than the other horses? Is this because of his breed or was he just born that way. However i reallly like him. 👍🐴

[TheZklassen]

😂🤣😂🤣 this video made my week…thank you 😃

[kkdoc]

Do you think Mr Wilde has found a way to stir up the water and check for the presence of things he doesn’t want to drink? Or he may just like the sound and the maneuver lol.

[SaMaNtHa.]

I really wanna come and visit baby grace. I've tried to send myself in the mail but your snails 🐌 left me all slimy. Have also tried to dig myself there but you Covered up my hole 🕳. That did take a long time to dig. I think will fly ✈ over this time around. I Better buy a parachuteby. 🤭🤭🤣😂

[georgiagonzales]

Wow the Wildy looks like he's putting on the pounds 🤗 not to say he's fat but has filled out sense you got him.
