That is plain mean terrible, NOT FUNNY......

Hey, Rudnik likes carrots almost as much as my Dobermann Anneke does. LOL. From Ruth in Australia (where it's going to be 30 degrees Celsius today!!) MERRY CHRISTMAS

in a way that's pretty good advertising for zip lock baggies 😹😸😹

He's patiently messing with it because he knows one of you will give him his beloved carrots. ❤

🤪🤣🐎 this horse I swear if Rudnik were human I feel like he’d have his own comedy show!! The way he’s vigorously shaking the bag then when that’s not getting the carrots 🥕 out he’s actively trying different ways to problem solve which I find SO cool the boy is extremely smart;and yes he’s right getting mom or dad to use their thumbs to do it for you is the easiest way!!😂Another thing:for some who may think “why sit there & watch him do it & not just hand it to him”? It’s a fantastic mental exercise bc he actually has to think about what he’s doing plus it also means he doesn’t immediately scarf the treat down. I think it would be amazing if you bought a couple snuffle mats for Rudnik & put some of his food in there,there’s also some great puzzles/treat balls that may be fun for him to work on(same kind you’d use for a dog)Outward Hound & Nina Ossten(I think that’s how the last name is spelled)have some awesome puzzle balls/feeders of varying challenge levels online that are really good to use. I bought 2 Outward Hound slow feeders for my big dogs to slow their eating down especially my boy bc we were at a point where he’d inhale a full meal & not 5 minutes after go outside & barf the entire thing up again so the feeders really help sometimes I’ll add additional stuff like peanut butter which requires more licking & takes him a good 20 minutes to work on.🖤💙🐎

He's so smart. He knows the bag has to be shaken to get them out but knows he needs you to open it.

He his so clever, playing around with the bag. And so sure, he will get the treats 🥕🥕🥕

It is obvious that Rudnik is not going to eat the plastic almost immediately. He's so focused on opening the bag to get to the beloved carrots and is also having fun playing with it. He knows Mom or B will give him the carrots eventually, lol. He's truly clever and intelligent!

"Show me the money!!'

Rudnik is making healthy choices lol. Carrots over peppermints!! Go figure 😊

He has a blonde girlfriend it’s the opposite of you and your partner

horsey loves him, so cute ty

Hi, if you don't mind me asking. We're is the farm that you are at with all that gorgeous Snow ❄️ cause your black horse looks gorgeous too. He's funny 😁 I have never heard a horse make that type of noise before made me chuckle 😃. So weres all that snow then anyone please let me know thank you.🇬🇧😊....

Beautiful horse & country. What state are you in?

Thanks so much for sharing Rudnik with us. Before I forget again, I just wanted to mention a previous video where you said that you shouldn't call Rudnik a goof because it means something else in Ontario. Well, in all my 68 years in Ontario, I have only heard "goof" the way you use it, when addressing the animals in our life. We also say "goofy" and "goofball". In some subculture, it may have another meaning, but it started off as a term of "endearment". Best wishes to you and your family.

Such a sweetheart, you think animals don't have feelings, especially about their fav humans, ohh but they do,..he really was focused on B, I so know he knows his car too, recognized it,..he does have a beautiful , healthy looking coat, pretty handsome darlin, Godspeed, long healthy, happy life to your darlin horse and family,..

Such a handsome and cute reindeer he is!

OMG…love the commentary. So spot on…lol

Nice snow mountain winter scene ...watched Ballerina Farm on youtube get a cow herd for their very automated self milking dairy. The cows werent on pasture before. Makes all the difference, the cows acted like it was a cocktail party. Guess Rudnik's herd must feel the same way...snow banks from heaven. Two days til Xmas 🎆

Rudnik one of Santa’s reindeer and looks so handsome ❤🎄🎅🏻🌲, sweet boy I don’t like candy canes, but I like peppermint candy that looks like a lifesaver which makes no sense at all. Rudnik was so funny with the name of carrots 😂😂😂😂How are you feeling Momma?

He needs a red nose!

Rudnik saw his GF and the horse coming towards his humans and said ...oh no, those are mine... and galloped ahead of them. He also wants to protect Mom.

Not feeling well today. Merry Christmas and best wishes y'all 🎁💕 Be safe and well 🙏 Blessings 🙏

He’s a very nice horse. Looks in good shape for a young one.

Bless your heart I can tell you really miss being with him ❤️. And you look like you have dropped . Baby maybe soon ? Rudnik has really missed his mama too ! He didn’t want to share you ❤️❤️❤️. Awwwwh he didn’t want to leave you. Sweet boy ❤️

It's a shame you have to be defensive in your commentary because of haters. Just ignore them. Don't give them any energy! You have a beautiful relationship with a really great horse with lots of love passing between all three of you. Cherish that, just as most of us who watch your videos cherish being able to witness what you share!

The three of you in that beautiful setting brings me great peace. Awaiting the arrival of the fourth. Bless you.

He left you for the man with the carrots. He does like his carrots. Bought my dachshund a swimming pool and got the same reaction. Nope. Merry Christmas and Happy whatever else anyone might celebrate! Take of yourselves and those you love.

I'm a nature and animal lover...at one point the father of my 5th baby had taken our young almost 2 yr old horse, I had not had the chance to watch my then mate with horses and got the shock of my life when I walked to the road to see if they were coming back from "their" walk...I saw the mate beat the horse and I lost it..I ran to them, took King's reins and told my now ex to never go anywhere around him again !.. I was broken for this beautiful black horse with a white diamond between his eyes..I took over cleaning his stall and let him be free to run and eat hay..we did not have any close neighbors, when I called King..he was like Rudnik..tail up and he would come so fast to me I wasn't sure he wouldn't run over me..a beautiful animal..but how long was he getting beaten is my question, we sold him after that and I payed a high price for having dared tell him to never touch King again. I don't need to tell you what my payment was, I'm sure you know ...the new owners asked me if anything had happen as King would only let those 2 owners to get near him, otherwise he only went to women...so did this happen to your horse also ? He passed away but the light and energy he showed me, he didn't show it to the new owners and this abuser went to go see him the owners told me. King let him come close then he bit his jacket and swung him..that surprised me, I guess King never forgot him...Im glad he showed him he couldn't keep beating animals...❤

I can’t imagine what a welcomed break from eating hay all the time, the carrots r.

I think Rudnik has the loyal personality of a German Shepherd! Wouldn't you say?

SO CUTE!!! Merry Christmas to All and Rudnik The Reindeer!!

what a lovely pair they make, black and white 💕

Love that boy!

makes me emotional too -- to see him running to you -- what a babe

He is a good boy, and striking against the snow, and his GF is white, awww so sweet. Sweet family

Something we tried to teach in the Sixties: Love is powerful. People did not take us seriously then, because, regrettably, too many of us got involved with "sex and drugs and rock 'N' Roll'... and the truth was obscured. But love is a power in the universe. Generated by all living things, it is the polar opposite of fear. Fear is the root of evil. Fear of loss, of abandonment, of powerlessness, of harm. The Bible contains a cosmic truth: "Perfect love casteth out fear." Rudnik is not herd-bound, because often the clinging to the group is from fear. But his love for you and B. overcomes that. He knows that you are love, you are compassion, you are comfort and you are safety. And so he comes to you, drawn by love. Love cannot arise from fear. It cannot arise from indifference. Love arises from love. You have given that love, and from it has arisen a powerful bond, a confident horse, a loving partner, and soon a beloved child. You are the source, and, kindled, Rudnik is as well. From his heart to yours, and yours to his. That wonderful love empowers not only Rudnik, B. yourself and the baby... it also flows to us, your viewers. And we thank you. Keep love at the center, and you can never go wrong.

One minute he’s jet black and then he’s got the gray tint…even a little reddish brown hints in his coat. Beautiful horse!

🙂 If your presence can entice animals AWAY from their food? It always makes me smile when I see good, strong Bonds between people and animals, and 'Rescue' critters, in spite of whatever abuse and trauma they may have suffered, can still have such amazing hearts and can turn-around and find trust, then show the affection/love/attachment to good people. This made me smile so much! I'd always bring a large bag of carrots/apples, and hand them out to the 'Herd' when I'd visit (I couldn't NOT give the others a treat, too!), and 'My horse' too would be very protective/jealous of it, but he knew if he behaved he would be the one getting the attention. It's heartening to see how far he's come since the three of you (Soon to be 'Four!') joined-up! Thanks for sharing, and may you all enjoy the Holidays and New Years!

😅oh ya , Baby!! ❤❤❤

His love and loyalty for you and B will probably always trump the herd.

You look wonderful!!! I am so happy for you and your family. I cant wait to see the baby ,and the moment the two of you bring the baby to meet his best fur buddy. Xxxooo Merry Christmas and above all the blessings that God has bestowed on you.

How cool it must be for that giant beast to love you.

He s such a sweetheart! His girlfriend is pretty too! You don’t have much longer to wait! Hang in there! ❤ Merry Christmas!

I love how his girlfriend is visually the polar opposite of him...she's white where he's black. Is his black and white buddy still at this location? Haven't seen him for a bit. (I admit, I was a little nervous watching him walk on ice. When I was a kid, there were race horses behind us that we'd walk out to grab handfuls of grass to feed. I found out my favorite had to get put down because he broke his leg on a patch of ice. I can't remember if he bucked, ran, startled, or it was just a bad spot that had ice.)

AW, he makes such a pretty pair with his girlfriend. But you guys only belong to him. And yeah you can still bend over when pregnant it's just harder, imagine all the women who had to take care of a whole gaggle of kids while pregnant in the past. No one to do all the bending for them. You do have these classes for training before birth that involve a lot of squatting so you have the flexibility for the end position, making everything just a tad easier.

Too cute Rudnik ❤❤❤❤

Rudnik converts a human into a horse-lover, too. I remember that always. 'Treats' always fascinate me - it's not like a treat solves true hunger. It's an experience they share with humans, and I often wnoder if We Puny Humans don't emit greater pleasure than 'our' animals.

So much love! ❤❤❤❤❤

Agree with Rudnik! Do not like candy canes! ❤
