</a><br />Lebrera came in heat eight days after the foaling, and she showed that she was ready to be together with Fabuloso again. He is very happy about this and is showing off to her as much as he can.<br />
<br />
Although she is showing very clearly that she wants him to breed with her, he isn’t quite sure that he is allowed; he has been with mares before and knows to take it slow. Experience tells him to be careful with those hind legs, and she gets a bit annoyed with him for not understanding that she is ready.<br />
<br />
Lebrera is clearly torn between her concern for the foal while at the same time wanting to be with him. The clip is just showing a few scenes of this interaction; in real life this lasted for two hours before the actual breeding happened.<br />
<br />
To often a stallion and a mare are not allowed to have this interaction and flirting process with each other, and many stallions are taught just to jump up and breed without any chance to get to know the mare at all. The mare is tied up so she is not given a choice in the matter. The reason is of course the safety of both of them, but the price of this form for breeding is that is depriving both horses of a very important part of their natural behavior.<br />
<br />
This, combined with the fact that most stallions don’t get to live with his mares, is probably the reason that so many people sees stallions as something dangerous and think he will jump on any mare given the slightest opportunity.

</a><br />This clip shows some amazing body language! The mare, Lebrera, wants the grass near the fence, but isn’t sure about Fabuloso standing there. So, she tells him to move, but he wants to check out his foal. Bravo wants to talk to daddy, too, but mommy says NO...<br />
<br />
The main thing for me in this clip is that it clearly shows what I call «calming signals». The signs of aggression are often talked about, but I don’t think I have heard people mention the signals they use when they want to show that they are no threat. The stallion is showing this very clearly; his posture is similar to a sleeping posture with his ears hanging to the sides.<br />
<br />
The mare responds to this signal by settling down a little, but as soon as he makes a little move she warns him. Her communication with both the stallion and the foal is very clear. It needs to be mentioned that this mare and the stallion has lived together for a year and has only been separated for the first few days after the foal was born in order to give the mare a little peace. As soon as she shows that she is ready the horses are placed together again.
