such good horses they just sit here it was gonna introduce Daisy to Manzer so
Bode you just stand back a little bit though okay Tovah make sure you don't
get kicked yeah that's what babies do is they do that clacking thing with their
mouths what she doesn't squeal you can let her sniff him go ahead I just don't
want you so close that if she does happen to like kick her strike that you
get kicked or struck at what do you want to take Rosie over to meet them
okay guys you ready hey little buddy is your girl getting all the good spots
he's very dirty careful buddy don't pinch his nose don't don't you dare you
can show it to him just don't pigeons no
man tzer's Mama's over there in the stall but he always likes to be with us
insect as my son says here he's introducing Mainzer to this new object
and I always encourage that we always want our horses to be curious about
things we don't want them to be frightened though so we're very careful
in how we do it today is Tuesday no today is Monday today's Monday September
9 and we've been gone since Thursday and it's crazy to see just a few days how
much he changes dough he does you just wanted to help you scratch him grad
scratchy scratchy scratchy you don't want to scratch him I'll scratch him
back scratched he's like I'm gonna scratch my mama
she's not gonna like it mama I think she's getting fed but she's not says I
don't know what she's doing out there but it looks fun here he comes to
investigate
you can he's like well that was scary do it again you again yep whoops do it
again do it again
gara now stop it there see him just look at it okay twelve uh come on over here
make some noise again hey back would you shut the stall door okay thanks don't
she's like well my mom is not running so I don't need to run
keep doing it do it again
when Nikken Mainzer stop and stand quietly that's when the noise goes away
there now move back here no no come here
cuz I'm not interested in that okay leaving me leave me nope you should
just leave more I really love seeing the questions that you guys come up with it
helps me be more creative in my videos because I know what you want to know
seriously who can resist looking at these cute little baby teeth Mainzer is
basically like a teething toddler right now and he has his mouth on absolute
anything that he can
whoa dude yeah you gotta be careful I'm not gonna separate him I'm gonna I think
I'm gonna put them both in the pasture until spring and either Nico will be
taken out then too so that's my thoughts so it's gonna be but I want him with the
herd for a little while just like naturally exactly and I just kind of
want like if nica's sick of them she'll tell me yeah but I don't want to go
through the whole like the traumatic weaning experience because I don't
really think that that's necessarily right I've known as T's pretty mouthy
yeah I know but I thought he's calmed down
yeah made through the soccer ball with him the other day that was pretty funny
yeah live and learn
okay he's good and frisky tonight
oh yeah
now I'm going to take this opportunity to explain the noise and what's going on
okay so my son has a bucket of rocks and he's shaking it and Mans was not really
sure what the sound of that is or why it's happening so it makes him a little
bit worried so as you can see here he's going to be running around his mom a
little bit not really sure what to do now under my orders my son continues to
shake the bucket until Mainzer stops his feet when he stops his feet and settles
the scary noise goes away I need my horses to be comfortable without any
noise that they may encounter so something that's really great for
getting horses used to noises is just having kids around so I never tell my
kids that they have to be quiet around the horses or anything like that but I
do let them know that whatever it is it's bothering the horses they need to
continue on with it but then immediately stop when the horses settle so that
really helps my horses be nice and quiet and comfortable around loud noises and
it makes them much safer especially for beginner riders the more exposure my
horses get and the better I prepare them to accept random noises and different
objects the safer will be when we haul them to events such as horse shows or
clinics or even parades some people will skip this process all together and
instead of exposing their horse to different sounds they simply use
earplugs when they take their horse to an event just like with humans I think
it's very important to use earplugs for protection when horse is exposed to
regular loud noises but as far as using them to keep a horse from being afraid
of noises I don't feel it's necessary because a horse can just learn to accept
it
