I remember when you purchased apollo, and he's not the same horse. He's a magnificent animal, and youve put so much time, money, and love into who he is today.! And the babies are amazing. Fun to watch them grow up! You have a wonderful live, living among these gentle giants!! ❤❤❤

I truly hope, that after all he has given you, that you keep him till the end of his days. That he gets to enjoy a soft retirement with you, even after his usefulness is over. He is a stunning horse that truly shows what love and other things, can accomplish! Apollo, you are awesome!

Why do you say P3 is not straight in the foot ? Foot grown twisted ? The frog centers over the P3 .(Coffin bone). Yes, I've seen twisted growing feet. I've seen indentations the size of your finger going across the hoof and had the pleasure of watching them grow out. And still trying to figure how they got there. You've done an awesome job. I take my time like you, many guys seem to rush thru. Horse owners are use to that then wonder why I might spend an hour and 1/2 shoeing vs 1 hr or less. I ask them how much quality they want.

Thank you for all of this! Fantastic to see him and you both grow. I learn from it as well, even for myself, especially at around 28 minutes into the video. I tend to think: "I can't do that, I'm not agile enough", or things like that, but with good and diligent training we can also accomplish more (even at 60 years of age, I think). Thanks! 😍 Good luck with him and best wishes to you all, including your daughter!

Goodness! Thank you for sharing and taking us along. Watching this demonstrating the teamwork of these horse's, do many together, makes one realize the TREMENDOUS amount of time and training that would go into this past or present. Great respect for this! And you got to meet and spend very quality time with a legend and one of your heroes. I am sure he was very pleased with all the wonderful things you and Apollo have done together. I am going to watch the complete 3 segments of this. Being a person who loves and appreciate s history, the jousting will be quite fastinating. Thank you Santiago.👏

I can't use a bit on my horse, not even a really gentle one but that's not because bits are abusive, its because the people who bread, trained, and hurt him were the abusive piece in the equation. I can't train that out of him and why would I? Not everyone who uses a bit is like those people

I❤the quotes by Picasso. I have them on stamps to use on some of the cards I create. It’s so sad that kids aren’t as exposed to art/ music in school as I was back in the 60/70s. The highlight of my school days were my art and music classes. Both grade school and high school. Creativity should always be encouraged! Ps. Who’s the supervisor in the lower left corner? You can tell they take their job to heart!

Ok hold up, what the F? Did you seriously just say $500 every farrier session? GeeBuzz did they see you coming or what?! We have Clydesdales, so yes a heavy horse. Our farrier charges $80 each horse for barefoot trim. $180 for hot shoeing.

Can you explain more in detail how starving him down to that degree was the prescription for this horse and what professional prescribed that? I’ve NEVER heard of that or that being beneficial. What was the reason or point? I couldn’t understand with this video and I just don’t understand it.
@apollotheshire10 күн бұрын
There was so much info to share in one video if I had added it all it would be 5 hours long. 😂 I’m also realizing I left things unsaid that I wish I hadnt, I suppose I could have switched this topic for that topic but then there would be a whole new set of question. I had video of lots of this but I dropped my hard drive about a year ago and lost about 2 years worth of clips in particular his first year with me, I was devasted but there was no saving the files 😩 So to better explain : When I first got him, He was skinny, but still heavy horse, and I started getting him healthy/fattening him up, it wasn’t instant, the discovery of his feet issue, he can’t talk or tell us. So he had gained some weight. However his foot pain got so bad, he wouldn’t walk on hard surfaces. Cement, stone, asphalt, even hard dirt, he would refuse it cause him so much pain. He only wanted to stand in his soft padded stall. Makes it really difficult to work with him, or take him to the vet or do just about anything. but once we realized it was because of how thin his soles were, it was then that we decided to put him on a diet ( “starvation” I realize now was a strong word but I can’t change it in my video 🙄) put him on a diet to alleviate the pain in his feet by losing some weight. 2000lbs is a lot to stand on so every pound counts. We watched him very closely and took everything slow as to not cause more harm. Once it was obvious his feet were feeling better & that was sorted then it was time to get him healthy in every way. It was tricky and might seem confusing to some. If you weren’t there it’s hard to explain or describe all the reasons or discussions. With equestrian stuff they say, it’s two steps forward one step back. Thanks for watching, please share 🙂

@@apollotheshire It made 100% sense to me even though it sucks for the horse and sucks as much or more for the owner to watch. It's similar to a human losing weight to get pressure off the the knees and ankles. It was essential to get the weight off his hooves so they could heal and relieve the pain, otherwise you can't even begin to address any other issues he had. The end results speak for themselves. He's healthy and happy
