In response to all the people worried about the "jumping foal"...it is perfectly all right for a foal or young horse to jump on their own, occasionally. Most horses shouldn't be started undersaddle until they are three or four, and not jumped until four because their bones are still soft at agest younger than this. Being ridden or jumped too early can cause permanent lamenesses later in life. Some breeds mature more quickly, and can be worked earlier, some need more time due to later maturity.
jumping for foals is NATURAL! do you think all the wild foals have bad knees because of how they play around, jump and run? This height is not bad for a foal to jump AT ALL. To jump on this height sometimes solely strengthens the horse and its jumping abilities. Im not saying you should jump too high, or too often och make it competitive, but for games to jump like this, is NOT dangerous. You talk like horses are a weak creation of humans, but these are creations of nature, built to run & jump
most horses do not jump competitive until they're older because jumping is a hard trade to learn. Most dressage horses don't compete until they're ten years old or older..its not because its damaging to the horse, its because it takes a lot of training.
@hunterjumper922 actually many horses are started at this kind of thing when they are 2 and three. my mare for instance is only 3 and she is matured(bone wise) as are may MANY horses and they compete sometimes at 2 and 3 yrs of age too so it isnt exactly the age, its their physical maturity, if thir bones are matured...they can jump :) just saying. Im not saying i agree with the babys being made to jump( not saying you did @ponyzrule ) but honestly in the wild they have to jump things :)
Fab vid! What a cutie! As to the age a horse should start jumping.... many foals will jump higher than this whilst playing around in the field! - ours jumps like this when he crosses the stream in his paddock, so he doesn't get his feet wet :)
How cute!!! the arguments are pointless what's don't is done. +++ let the fail have some fun!!! Plus I think mummy knows best for what it's foal can do :)
Tbh, essentially, everyone is right in saying it shouldnt jump, but foals naturally jump and run around, they frolick and jump around while playing, so i suppose i cant be that bad just once or twice. :/ A foal jumping like that wont kill it. Jeez, foals are made to run and jump away from predators - Hence why their leags are 90% grown when theyre born. Everyone stop having a rant about it. :/
ok for christ sake, foals jump around, leap, fall on their knees in the paddock all day long. "omg your brake its legs" "omg you shouldnt do that" once you have experience raising foals and you no alot about anatomy then i suguest you shut up, these people wouldnt let their foal do anything if they knew it woudl be harmfull as they want they foal to be healthy, i just think some people need to pull their head out of their own asshole
im pretty sure if the mare thought her foal was in any danger she would protect it and if she though her foal wouldnt be ok jumping that why would she let it come on people horses arent stupid they're not brain dead and its not her video so what is telling her that it isnt good for foals going to do?
@hunterjumper922 to be honest i don't care as this is not my horse. They can jump before they're 5? I know people who compete their horses when they're 4, and so have I.
@ponyzrule im with you there, if it really kauses that much damage then why are so many olympic riders and high up trainers jumping 4 year olds in seriers competition,hunterjumper doesnt no what the fuck shes on aabout ae!
@ponyzrule They CAN, but if you want to train your horse properly with much less chance of having bad knees, you shouldnt jump until @ the very least, 4.
@hunterjumper922 no they can learn at a few months so long as they enjoy it and arent pushed to hard too early.....in the wild they may even need to learn earlier!
my foals all start on trotting poles when they are 3 weeks old!!(i breed hanoverians and arabian horses)
@hunterjumper922 well... actually one of my teachers in pony club said she knows a guy that would teach his foals to jump by setting up a jump in the pasture so when he would call the moms and babies in they would all have to jump it! so then, when they are older they don't think jumping is such a big deal!
@hunterjumper922 think, in the wild, they jump the day after there born, :) and I have a horse that three and we jump him all the time, that was two years ago, now, were training him for the olympics,
@Lilmissspip foals jump leap and bound around in the paddock themselves this is no different, once you have experience in raising foals then come back and tell everyone that you no everything
O my gosh reminds me of my old horse!! We got him at 5 months old. And we brought him home and let him run around for abit then stalled all my horses including him. In a 8x12 stall he jumped a 4ft5in stall gate!!!!
Wow, gonna be a great jumper....in my opinion this jumping is only natural, because he the wild they'd be going over natural obstacles;) As long as the foal is not forced and it's not over done it fine to me;) Cute Foal!
People a few jumps arent gonna hurt the colt..its big enough around that age they jump around all the time by themselves anyways...gah i hav quarter horses and when one a has a colt at that age they are jumping and bucking round anyways...they arent making the colt jump anyways its choosing 2..if it was hurting it it would go around the jump 2 follow its mom instead of over it...use ur heads for something besides a hatrack people gah!
you cant really stop a foal from jumping it really does it naturally but you shoudnt force a foal to jumping something that puts too much strain on them
yes yes very cute, but i have to be a bit of an antagonist here.
a foals muscles and bones aren't fully formed at that age, not by a long run, and jumping can really hurt their them, it stresses their under developed muscles and bones, it's not a good thing if done regularly
of course foals jump and play in the pasture, but they should NEVER be made to jump.. it can really ruin their joints and bones. They're still developing, you don't want to ruin them before they're even started.
@marcieincooke An occasional jump, especially one this low, only builds his muscles and doesn't stress them or his bones out. Obviously it shouldn't be done often, but I think this one time on a low jump couldn't hurt. He seems to love it, anyways.
awhh Cutee! haha its funny that horses that dont do lead changes do them with out noing!! If u watch a horse gallope around a Ring before the corner they always Switch haha Funny
one of the horses at my stables went dwn today wen i was takin of my boots all i heard was "tobys down!!! TOBYS DOWN" and then my riding teacher runnin out wit a phone and her hat fallin of cause she was a bout to get on a horse
the jump only looks big because the foal over jumps it. i have 2 stallions and one overjums everything and one of his foals dose the same. she likes to jump over a 2ft 6 fallen tree in the field and she is only 5weeks old. when she was born the mare paniced and kicked her and she had problems with her legs and the vet advised me to loose jump her to improve the flexability in her leg. SO, no, this isnt bad for the foal!
Aw, he/she jumps like a deer!!! Going to be a great jumper, but I don't care how high the jump is foals really shouldn't jump until they're legs are done forming... it can lead to serious problems (: I guess one or two is okay... because naturally they do jump because they are foals... duh!
Love this! Its so adorablee!!-3
