The love of the momma to her baby is visual from day one, they nurse and nuzzle the foal all day. Sometimes it is harder to notice the love a stallion has for his baby, after all they must be on alert and protect them from all predators and of course those annoying bachelors. However, if you quietly watch from a distance (50 ft minimum), you may witness the adoration they exude for their foal. Their displays of affection may not last as long as mommas, but it is there.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-76719 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/staging.saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Daddies-and-their-Babies-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"388\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Daddies-and-their-Babies-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.saltriverwildhorsemanagementgroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Daddies-and-their-Babies-2-300x194.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/388;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our volunteers have witnessed a yearling with an injured leg, hopping along trying to keep up with their band, while dad slowly walks by their side, encouraging him every step of the way\u20266 weeks later that yearling was healed and still with his band. Stallions have been observed being silly with their youngsters as well as teaching them how to snorkel for eelgrass. So, at the end of the day, stallions are not all that different than their human counterpart.
