Human Herd Leader Horse Impact- Imprinting causing Foal Rejection - Rick Gore Horsemanship

Warning: taping interrupted so tape ends abruptly. Here I show how if done right, strong herds leaders can still act appropriately when led by a strong human leader. I then show how the herd changes when I leave as leadership role. I also discuss how foal rejection is at all time high due to human interference. I talk about how when people get too involved with the birthing process it makes the mom nervous and mom will reject the foal in order to get rid of the humans that will not leave. TIP: when filming with iPhone put phone in airplane mode so if you get a phone call while filming, it will not cut the filming off. - although I did not get to tie this together there is some good herd behavior and small communication so some may pick up some things about how horse talk in a herd.

Another question: So if you have a pregnant mare, do you recommend that people/vets should NOT interfere with the birthing process at all? (Unless there is an evident problem with the foal of course).

@SexyHaras : Vet care is helpful to identify potential problems and ensure good health, but during and a couple days after the birth, Less is More, stay out, stay away and let mom bond, let mom be mom, let the baby know it is a horse and don't try and confuse the horse that it is a four legged furry human, it is not.

I strongly agree with the foal rejecting and not just with horses but other animals too I recon. If u notice with the Zoo's and tht, like i've seen on som of the tv shows about the Zoo's where humans decide to interfere and the mothers hav rejected the baby afterwards.

@96HorsePendulum : Excellent analogy, that is perfect example at zoo's and rescue facilities.
