In this episode of speaking the horse language, we learn to speak the language of the stallion, Mayor and guilting. So in the wild, yeah, let's say you have stallions and you have mayor's now obviously with humans, we've introduced another thing we have geldings. So when we're talking about stallions versus mayors versus geldings Yeah, there's some important things to know. Now, a lot of people they think that the stallion is actually the leader of the herd. It's not. It is the mayor.

There's one alpha mayor, there's going to be several mayor's in a herd in the wild, but there's one mayor, she's alpha, and she's even in charge of the stallion, the stallions job well, we all know his job make babies. The stallion will fight other stallions. That's basically his job. Yeah. So they're more aggressive, dominant. So when you're working with stallions stallions are very dominant.

Yeah, they're very alpha. They're very territorial. Yeah. So with stallions you cannot sleep. She can't be insecure. You have to be square shoulders, good vibe and very confident.

Even if you don't know fake it till you make it with horses sometimes they don't know that you don't know. Yeah, but if you pretend like you know they'll follow you. So with a stallion you definitely have to be alpha you have to be dominant with a stallion because you know in the wild, they just kind of kick each other and whoever stronger wins is is a better stallion and the other one will kind of go away and, and back down now. So with stallions, obviously I can't kick my stallion. Yeah, I can't kick as hard as he's gonna kick. So it's not about who's gonna kick each other.

But with a stallion, he might test me a lot of stallions, especially if they're young, they'll be very mouthy. They'll try and bite you or nibble at you and nibble at your shirt. So that's them testing who's alpha and if they can nibble at your shirt, then that means they're alpha because they got away with it. Yeah. So I have to have a bubble. I have to be very strict.

And I have to just make it clear to them that when you're with me you have to behave. with mayors, you're going to have a totally different vibe yet because mayor's are the real alpha, but mayor's they're very intelligent mayors. You have to be on their good side and it's not going to come with bullying. It's going to come with respect. With a stallion, you can kind of be a bit rough and tough and spank him a little bit and say no, you're not allowed to bite me. Whereas with the mayor, that might not work.

And again, it depends on the mayor if she alpha Mayer naturally in the field with the others or she a little bit lower in the pack. This all plays a big relevance. If she's an alpha mare, you're probably not going to, you know, win her respect with bullying her or making her feel back to the corner. Like she's sort of forced to do it. She'll probably say no, make me. Yeah.

So with a mayor you have to be Be very intelligent. You have to show her why it's important to play these games or to do whatever it is that you want to do. And most importantly, I think you have to have fun with her. You know, you have to make her have fun. You have to show her things that she enjoys doing. And then once she starts enjoying doing those things, the other things even if she doesn't enjoy it so much, she'll start doing them because she'll understand that there's a reason or she'll trust you and she'll follow you as an alpha male, so maybe you have to sort of win her over.

And a gelding. As we all know, geldings are pretty easygoing, again, totally depends on the personality of the horse. But geldings are usually easygoing. They also they have, you know, different versions that they can do. They could be a little bit more lazy and like, make me or they could be a little bit more fiery and a little bit more energetic. So based on the personality of the horse, you know, as far as geldings go, it's just more special.

Specific to the personality of that gelding. Is he hot or is he a bit more lazy, and then we'll apply the method methods with the gilding as appropriate.
