    My horse spotted a hunter on the property line, which was blocked by trees and brush, and quite a distance from him. I walked out there, and sure enough, the turkey killer was camouflaged and pushed up against the fence in a crouched position, shocked that my horse had rattled him out.

    It sounds like crows in the distance and many times when you hear them it's because they're trying to run off a hawk or other large predator bird.
  • I am really enjoying learning the body language of horses. I owned a horse as a young pre-teen. I am learning through your channel that I absolutely knew nothing about what my horse was saying. I can't go back and change things, but I can learn now. I hope that you have a wonderful day. 💖 p.s. I could listen to you recite the phone book. Your conversation draws me and keeps me engaged.
  • Horses are endlessly fascinating... loved this. I also noted the crows, we are in an urban environment and our chickens are very aware that the crows signal danger.
  • I LOVE these behavior videos, we only have one "herd" at my barn, and it's so fascinating to watch the dynamics- this herd especially, because it consists of a giant 18 hand warmblood cross and two little ponies- there was an Alpha, a Morgan Arab mix who was EXCELLENT at his job, (firm but fair, never a bully... but he got leased out recently!) the big guy is super docile and has been the bottom of every group he's been in previously, but once he got his ponies on his own he has blossomed, haha, he loves "bossing" them around, you can tell it's given him some confidence he didn't have before! Anyway, I am rambling, but keep making these, I love them, and I learn so much!

    Boone had to put down his beer before he could go over. :)
  • Monique, I’m so enjoying the horses’ behaviors and your analysis of them! I’m glad the new little calf next door seems to have calmed down. He was pitiful! 😂 I’ll watch and see whether you post a Part Two with an explanation of what captured Fleur’s attention.
  • Horses saved my great grandparents family years ago in Cape Breton, NS, Canada. They were in a horse and buggy crossing the river during the winter. It was dark out. All of a sudden the horses stopped and wouldn't budge. My Great Grandpa got down to find out why they wouldn't move. Barely visible in front of him, a little ways up , there was open water where the ice had cracked where it was too thin. The horses knew. Amazing!
  • Horses I love , beautiful,graceful,❤ them all !I owned 7hourses !

    Crows don't usually just caw unless they are running a hawk off at my house. That is usually the only time you notice the crows because they raise a ruckus. They are usually protecting a nearby crow nest because hawks will eat their young.
  • @unsheepled
    Thank you for that , this novice appreciates you taking the time
  • Great video Thank you! Sometimes the best gift we can give our herd leader horses is us standing or sitting with them in the pasture, keeping watch, so they can get a break & snooze if they want. 😂

    Ive always said. Trust your horse. If on a trail and they stop. And get tense. Hang on . Try to calm them but get ready . The life they save may be yours. Oh and keep your head down. Ive been shot at with an arrow and a rifle. Both times the horse reacted and got me out of there. I started to take it personally and I was 15 and younger. ❤

    I use to have a paint mare. The mini horse in picture and a young QH filly. The mare was the dominant horse. Where was a shelter in corner (this was place I got them in boarded them at first) of there paddock. When the young horse would sleep she stood over her guarding her. It was raining once and they were under the shelter. I filly went to the bathroom the mare tore in to her chasing her around the paddock. After that that filly didn't poop under the shelter. The mare also made her go in a certain spot. There manure was always in one area. Sure made it easier to clean up. When I moved them to a bigger pasture at night she told the filly( shes was about 3 then) where she could sleep was along one of the fence lines. The mini had her spot. And mare had hers. One time when I went there to feed. She was watching this spot way away across a field on someone else's property then one I was boarding at. We could not see what she saw. About 30 minutes later this dog popped out of the brush. One day we got a call from someone that lives on the property (they were not horse people) that the mare kept going after our mini horse every time she would lay down. So we rushed out there. The mini looked sad and kept laying down and rolling. The mare was right there biting her rump making mini get up. Wasn't hard where it left a mark. But the mare was right behind her making her walk. I went and got the mini out. She was had colic. We got the vet out. The mare the whole time watched us with her ears perked at us. After we got the mini feeling better I put her back in to the pasture and the mare ran to her and put her head down with her ear next to minis belly. Then the mare just went out to eat grass. But I never seen a horse do that before. She always looked like she was thinking.

    I grew marijuana on a farm with horses. They didn't know much about growing but were fantastic guards. Amazing, actually.
  • @nikkib2143
    I'm new to your channel after watching one of your videos. I love listening along to you whilst watching your horses. I feel I'm learning so much about horses natural body language and it's always so interesting. Thank you for sharing ❤ x.
