I’m so glad I didn’t stop filming!

To answer a few common questions:

Yes they have shade, they have a shelter right beside their water, they just choose to never use. ?

No, the white horse is not in heat they are all geldings ?

I’ve spent most of my life researching and learning how horses communicate with each other and through their body language. In the wild, the lead stallion would ensure that his herd is always looked after, especially the young, old and pregnant ones. In times when water or food may be scarce, the leader will also ensure his herd is taken care of before he is.

What Rudnik does here is a perfect display of those natural instincts. This is not just an assumption but rather an observation of their natural instincts in action. Rudnik is displaying all the characteristic traits of a leader here.

The rest of the herd had already gone up for water but Rudnik noticed one of the older boys had lagged behind. This is when he goes over to push him up the hill towards the rest of the herd and the water. These exact same interactions are how stallions in the wild protect and care for their herd.

Horses body language is amazing and once you learn to identify their natural instincts and how they are displayed even in domesticated horses, you will understand horses so much more!
