Beautiful horses

I love this breed❤❤❤

Why do you trim the manes of your horses? is there a reason, a specific purpose ? thank you

A good one for the mane trimming groups on Facebook, for those wondering how and when to take their mane right back ❤

Some really idyllic scenes in this video ❤ I just love how well you can see his personality comes through as he matures.

And I love all the fjords! That’s my dream horse!

So handsome and cute!

Fjord horses are so so stocky and strong

Just gorgeous 😍

😍

Biggest challenge of owning a young horse-trying not to be too biased when you see such potential and beauty in their baby confirmation. It’s so easy to daydream about how talented they’ll be when they’re grown-when it’s just as likely that they’ll be pretty average.

Taking a guess , the young horse’s boundless energy and urge to play and not work ?

What do you think is the most challenging aspect of owning a young horse?

There both stunning ❤

Very useful information and some really clear steps for me to try out and follow. Thank you. I am quite stiff in my hips and have an old tendon injury in one knee which seems to make me slightly different from left to right. But fortunately my horses learn to adapt.

Is that a stallion?

Love your channel!! I have a Fjord I make videos with too! 🥰

Great video, you are a very good trainer. When I first learned to ride many, many years ago none of this was ever explained to us, we just had to figure it out or get yelled at. When I started taking riding lessons again here in France I was happily surprised that this now is part of the training,and includes something they call mise en selle which is yoga on horseback, and can feel a little like torture as you a posting trot without stirrups, ot galloping with your knees and arms up, the place I train even has weekly young classes which has helped me immensely as I'm no longer quite young.

My elbows tend to get too straight. I have short arms, and to get straight line from bit to elbow means I am reaching down. It gets exaggerated in trot.

What do you find most challenging when riding? Feel free to share in the comments, I'd love to know!

Aww <3

I've seen Gypsy cobs with mustaches like that. One of their traits! Beautiful!

The horse is objecting strongly to her insensitive hands and the contradicting cues she's giving him. Very funny! She obviously needs more schooling before she's ready for this advanced level. Is he at 4th level/Prix St. George or what?

The horse looks beautiful

No iv got the best pony in the world he is such a dream I hope ur ok love ur vids and ur pony

Check the tack, check your riding methods. Usually there’s a cause for buck that can be fixed.

To be honest, I believe that the biggest mistake when buying horses is inexperience. And by this I mean a young rider (a teen or a little kid) with parents that have minimal or no involvement with the horseworld. Parents often think, that a horse is just a large dog who eats more and their kid can sit on it. Even though, a properly cared for and trained dog needs way more care, time, space and money than the average dog realistically gets. A horse is many times more of that. But parents who have the money often don't have the knowledge. They may get the help of a trainer or another equestrian, but these people are more often than not invested in getting those horses bought. I have heard of plenty stories where a "family friend" equestrian sold a problematic horse that either belonged to them, another friend, family, business partner or otherwise they got a cut from the sale. Similarly, a trainer might want a horse bought because the trainer or friend/family gets money from the sale, or perhaps the trainer wants to sell their services to "train up" the horse, which then ends up being completely unrideable for months and months, because it's too dangerous for the kid, and the trainer has to work on it. Or perhaps they have other designs on the horse - like a horse bought for the kid to compete on later, but first the horse needs to gain experience under the trainer. Who then not only gets to compete on a horse they didn't spend money to buy, but also gets paid for their "service". And would this trainer rather buy a horse that would be good for the kid, or better suited for the trainer? Right. There are a million and one scammers and selfish people. If you do not have the experience and knowledge to buy a good horse, you have no business buying one. The problem is the age old "you don't know what you don't know". So parents with little knowledge think that they can make an informed choice, when in fact, they cannot. Altough it doesn't have to be just the parents of a young rider, even if that happens often. I have seen adults, who have not been around horses for long, but have enough money to drop on a horse, rush off to buy one. I myself don't have the confidence to buy one, even though I know what to look out for. It's just too much money and responsibility to decide for me. It always boggles my mind, when I hear about a person at my barn searching for a horse to buy, when they started riding like 5 months ago. One example, that remained forever in my mind, was that of a TV show, where the poor and rich families exchange homes and spending money for a week. And on one of these episodes, there was a poor family with a mother (if i remember correctly, she didn't have a husband) and like 2-3 kids. They were really poor. The mother showed no signs of having any equestrian past. The only thing she mentioned was that "I always wanted a pony. For the kids". Said kids showed no interest. Anyway, the rich family had such a large budget, that she could buy a pony with that money. And she did. Instead of any home appliance, or supplies for the kids and herself, she bought a pony. It was a small one too, not something her size could ride, so as soon as the kids grew a couple years older, it would be basically a pasture pet. I simply cannot imagine, how she could finance the care of that horse, when on an average day she struggled to feed herself and her kids. She probably thought, that she only needed to buy it, and then let it eat the grass in their yard. The last time I had such delusions about horse care, was when I was around 10-11 years old.

74 YRS OLD AMERICAN AND THANKS FOR YOUR IMPORTANT AND KIND WORDS ABOUT HORSE BUYING. A HORSE GIRL IS A HORSE GIRL 😂 SO TRUE. WE LOOK AT LIFE THRU OUR HORSES LIVES. WE HAVE MOVED OUR HORSES WITH US FROM MONTANA, TEXAS AND MISSOURI. AS LEON HARREL SAID " LIFE WITHOUT HORSES IS INCOMPLETE. AGAIN GREAT ADVICE. Susan

Was looking for an Icelandic horse. Ideally 8-12 year old, preferably black, bay or red or any other easy to keep colour. Tried many horses that fit the category. Ended up with a 6 year old black tobiano mare with a lot of white 😅 She fit my needs the best, I had the best connection with her and a very honest seller. They also dropped her off hours away because they wanted to see where she'd end up and we're still in contact. I can always call if i have any problems and they will try their best to help me, or even take her back temporarily for training if needed (the extra gaits are hard if you're inexperienced) My nr 1 advice is try multiple horses, bring someone with experience, and if you find a horse you like try them multiple times in all the disciplines you plan to ride them in. If the seller doesn't want you to test them multiple times don't buy from them.

Do you have any experiences, stories or tips, feel free to share in the comments section! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have always wondered what genetic composition you need to get a Chance of a yellow dun horse. Do you know? I believe Red dun and a brightening gene?

Aww that was fun. Lovely dynamics

So interesting to hear those norweigian pronunciations spoken. I've seen them written but it's hard to know what they sound like. My mare has the cheek marks and the shoulder stripes also :)

Do you like Fjordhorses? Maybe you like driving horses too? Check out this video 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5rdep5vr9h9Y7c

I had to laugh when I spotted the familiar greenery sticking out the corner of the mouth. That's what my Fjords mouth looks like on every ride. Always has to grab snacks.😂. Lovely ride out thank you.

The yearling is sooo big now. Almost as tall as his friends. Also your 3 year old was looking so calm in his training session in this video. 😊. Aww those moose twins were beautiful. How fortunate you are to have such wildlife by you. Do you get large birds of prey by you also. We often have buzzards and red kite flying over head.

I love hearing the commands in a different language, as I think that’s what the horses hear, no words, just sounds😀

What plants are in your field? It is so very hard not to have Fjords get fat here in the US, especially in Wisconsin, where dairy cows do very well!

Beautiful video, thank you for sharing.

I can watch these beauties all day long… To see how they take care of and teach their offspring is just precious…♥️🐴♥️

I forgot to write my comments the first time I watched this! I absolutely loved every minute and now that my husband is learning Dressage, I am going to have him watch too! Congratulations Laban and Sigrid!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Sweetness, Gentleness and Beauty of this video just brought me to tears…Happy Tears…♥️🥹♥️
