- It's weaning time on the ranch and this foal crop is the prettiest yet!! Also, a broken golf cart keeps the crew busy as does hay season. Be sure to go to b1horsemanship.com to see training tips, and instructional videos from Richard Boatwright!!
How is your show not on TV?!?! Amazing production and content.
I absolutely love how you handled it while your horse got scared at the beginning. It jabbing, not forcing. Just letting him take his time.
Man what I would give to spend a summer someplace like yours to learn about everything.
Great job separating the mares from the foals, I’m from Georgia and used to work on a smaller horse ranch/farm. Our hay was brought in from Oregon from two tractor trailers with conveyor shutes to the loft of the barn and these were 3 stranded 100+ lb bales of Timothy/ Alfalfa hay, not my favorite days but all a part of the work. Yes weaning is very stressful for both the foals and the mares. I had a young bay mare from your ranch, by a Sorrel son of Tanquerey Gin crossed on a Mr San Peppy mare and she was a nice filly that started very quiet. I eventually sold her as a four year old and she went to Kansas and was working on a feedlot and Pasture roping on her off time. One of the Cowboys up there said she took to it like she’d been doing it all her life and thanked me for the groundwork that I’d put on her. Thanks for the well bred horses! Greg
My day just got better thanks to your video, can't tell you how much I enjoy watching what you do, again knowing how hard it is I get envious, thanks a lot, take care and have a great day
When we weaned, we did a 7 day method. We separated babies during the day in a pen with other weanlings while their moms were next door. The mares grazed in earshot and foals were reunited at night. On the seventh day, they were separated for good and the babies were not stressed at all. It was an amazing process!

I think if you keep making video's with this much effort involved that clearly show the amount of passion you have for your occupation and labor of love, you will easily end up with the #2 equestrian channel on UA-cam. I say #2 because I don't think it will outgrow Dale Brisby and his unique depiction of ranching if you want to call it that. In time though, this will turn into something far greater. I really enjoyed the visit the other day with you and your little blonde partner. She is very special. Congratulations on putting together another great video.
I only get 1 or 2 foals a year so weaning is still stressful , but as big of deal. When I was young I used to help my cousin and we would gather a band of 60 and take the 2 year olds off and swim them across the river to the main Ranch. Then we would cut the yearlings and it was so good for young horses to work other horses . It was fun as a young man to have a 6 mile run with 60 head of horses and a stud that acted aggressive, great vid Richard
Ever since I was a child it's literally My dream to be with horses. I'm indeed a big fan of horses, but here in Philippines this kind of dream is really impossible. I hope one day i can work there even without salary just to be with horses and learn their nature. Haha God bless you and your family for sharing this kind of content to us watchers. Always take care guys.
Really enjoy watching ur show richard I have learned alot .just over all love ur life style I would love to come to the ranch to get some knowledge from you. Thank u for taking ur time to make these vidioes richard
Just found your channel and I'm in love! Makes me miss riding horses so much

good video
OMG!!! This ranching sure beats sitting in an office pushing paper and withering away. I love this. These little horses are so cute, they look like small wambloods. :-)
I am currently writing a book about a girl and her horse and their life on a ranch. I've loved horses all my life, but do not have a ton of experience working with them, at least not in this perspective! So this video is giving me so much insight and knowledge into what ranch life is like! Thank you! I felt like I was watching a movie.:)
So awesome to get a video.....they are such an adventure.
Nicely done. I appreciate that you don't use "gimmicks" or "trick words" working the stock. Too many clinicians with "special" tack. And you also appear to realize that a good horse isn't made in 3 weeks. Time spent down will pay dividends later either in sale price or solid working stock that aren't lame or one person critters. Thanks for renewing my faith, I hope to see more videos to watch your progress with the young ones - both horse and kids!
I gotta applaud your latest video. Great job!
It's a stressful but necessary part of life to wean babies from their mothers. Some get taken too early and some get taken too late, but it's cool to see you guys do it in a pretty gentle manner. Then to take all that time and teach them domestication, must take a lot of patience and love.
