The pond is a natural spring on my property. The water is murky at the moment from all off the exercises I have been doing with the horses. Once the bottom settles, it will be clear again.
Yes, this is a mix herd; the white horse “Prince”, and the little pony “Reese’s” are geldings. The rest of the horses in the video are mares and/or fillies. My Clydesdale”Sarge” is also a gelding, but he is not fond of the water.
I am building my horse farm to emulate how horses would be in the wild (as much as possible). And I am spending my life researching and learning how horses communicate with each other, especially through their body language. I really appreciate everyone sharing their observations and/or experiences with their horses in the comments.
From my observation, Prince does a perfect job displaying his horse natural instincts. He feels safe in this setting, as is a fun participant of the herd. Javelin is my lead mare; shes looking out from outside the pond and ensuring the herd is always looked after. Javelin has all the characteristics of a natural leader, but she does not like the water …😝
During this video, the herd (well 5/7 horses) will go to or in the water, it looks like Sarge and Javelin are lagging behind and grazing up the hill.
It almost looks like Javelin is showing an observational behavior, similar to horse interaction in the wild, protecting and caring for the herd.
One day I hope to have the opportunity to watch Horse body language in the wild, and learn to identify their natural instincts. However, at this time, taking part and observing the display of my domesticated horses is helping me to understand horses so much more!
Patriot is my little filling the video . She turned 1 years old at the end of April; she’s huge !
Maverick is my 3 years old; and this was our first ever ride ( or at least sitting on her back). I look forward to Maverick turning 4 so I can really continue with her training.
