@@CalamityJane51 sometimes it takes 100 times 😂

Apparently some don’t 😟

Or eat. 🥴

In a real hurry and then you drive past them again when they have to fill up with diesel lol

Yeah so true 😂

It was just so busy to drive through but I’ve never spent much time there.

Oh cool, just down the road

Thanks, I’m getting as much water into him as I can in his feeds. He is okay for now.

Lots of horses do that. Especially if they have had past trauma but lots of times they are just telling us to slow down and do it up slow and easy.

Thankyou, yes he usually has a salt block. Definitely has one now. I don’t know, I think the cooler weather just made me think he was okay and didn’t need it. I should’ve realised when I noticed he was drinking less water than usual.

If you watch the linked video it’s actually a happy story

Thankyou

They did treat him. I thought I said that at the beginning. They came out and gave him a shot. The vet on the phone was a different vet.

Thankyou

Thankyou

Thanks for your questions. In our council area, according to the by-laws, I could keep two horses here without approval. However I personally don’t think that’s a good idea. Some people down the road have two horses and a foal. There are several single horse households. There are whole stable blocks of 12 stables full of race horses in some people’s back yards, they have council approval for that set up. Not everywhere is the same I guess 🤷‍♀️

I agree it's probably too small. Against the law? That's a blanket statement that is not true?

@@andrewatkinson3700 it’s not too small. Horses are kept in 12 x 12 stables all over the world and every Agistment centre in the state has individual paddocks less than 1acre. Thanks for your input though.

@connectedhorsemanship doesn't mean that it is optimal or right. Just because you provide a space larger than a 12x12 stall. Puppy mills keep their dogs in cages that are 2x2, is that right?? I was basically saying that it's not illegal to keep a horse on less than 2.5 ac. (Here anyway). I didn't blast you or anything. I believe you care for animals. It's just not for me.

@@andrewatkinson3700 where do you keep your horses?

💚🧡

Thankyou for being here!

Thank you! He is a pretty special guy, I would have been devastated to lose him.

Thankyou, he’s a cutie

You are so kind

Such a cutie 🥰

Thankyou, what a lovely positive comment. He absolutely loves copra with molasses.

This is my front yard 😄 he lives in my backyard but I don’t want to chop up the grass so I’m riding him in front. You can watch my other videos to see where he lives at the moment and what’s happening!

Thankyou

Thanks 🤩

Thank you 🤩

Why not?

@@connectedhorsemanship wait I change my mind he looks pretty kool

@@Krilluc he’s a pretty cool dude

❤️

Thankyou! I can’t wait. Having been chomping on the bit to get going! Selling a house in the suburbs is so time consuming.

Hi, thanks for your question. I just have one horse right now but I hope to have more friends for him soon. I have owned many horses in the past.

Thanks for the tips 🤩

It really is!

Thank you! 😊

Haha so you don’t have animals you love 😏

Comment of the week 👏

@CalamityJane51 i was born 1990 year of The hores in Chinese astrology astronomy an numerology so me an hores are TIGHT as a KNOTT ...and trust me they dont like baby talk...they can handle there own ..they aint some fairly tale little princess pony ...there creatues that can go to war...travel the world an keep man safe an they always keep there cool even under high amouts of stress so pay them more respect....they understand words an humans so i find it disrespectful...to baby talk...creatures like this ...cuz there better then that an smarter then that. This lady is a nutt job

I’m gonna make a video tomorrow just for you mate 🤪

@@michaeljames33xx settle down there Nigel, we aren’t talking ‘bout ‘hores

Not if they are exercised regularly.

Many horses all over the world are kept in a 12 x 12 loose box, some are even kept in stalls overnight. You are making a judgement here based on very little information. But thanks for commenting, I appreciate the interaction and the effort 😄

they only need that acerage if the are not being fed any other hay or feed. Get your criticism correct at least

That’s true, thanks 🤩

Exercise and food. 👏

It’s a great way to do it!

@@IzaiahYeguadaEspanol lol, there's not enough room as it is , imagine stalls , pens, poor horse will be climbing the fence out of boredom. The horse did look well fed, and there were no droppings on the ground, but a shelter/stable is a must.

That would be cool!

@@Phillip-p1e he’s actually not bored at all. He has hay all day and gets exercise every day. No pacing, no stress behaviour. He seems very happy.

@@connectedhorsemanship He'll have no room if you add extra in that small space, I do however as said he looks well cared for, but a shelter/ stable is a mus as there's no shade or protection for him. Also kudos to you as I didn't see any droppings in your garden.

@@Phillip-p1e this isn’t the whole place. It’s only about 1/3

It’s around 1 acre.

He has a big shady tree for shelter and also has a wind shelter too but we live in the dry tropics so it doesn’t hardly rain so wind and sun are the main things to shelter from. You can see the big tree in the midnight snack part of the video

Actually yes we do.

@@connectedhorsemanship oh good

@@connectedhorsemanship Glad you have some kind of shelter

Thanks for your help

Yes, and yet he is fine, he sees me 3-5 times per day plus I have a cctv on him 24/7. 50 years with horses. 35 years in the industry. Thanks for your input.

Just a question for you out of curiosity. Have you ever kept a horse on its own?

It’s definitely worth doing for us old girls! Makes a huge difference for the horses too.

Okay maybe it depends on density or something. This is in the dry tropics in Queensland, Australia. Queensland is a bit like Texas.

@@connectedhorsemanship We get the four seasons but in no way similar to the dryness and heat Texas. Called the Garden State and produces much produce, lots of farmland, lots of pasture and unhilly terrain. Home to Horse farms, Horse rescue farms and rehabilitation farms for retarded children, etc. The North Atlantic hugs the entire Eastern coastline. I don't think there are many similarities 😅 But ya, 5 acres per Horse is the Law. You can bring them up on YT should you want a look 🥰

That sounds amazing. Like a horses wonderland.

@@connectedhorsemanship It is and why so many ❣️

I’d love to visit one day.

Thankyou so much!

They should have access to roughage most of the day, at least every 4 hours but not necessarily 24/7 sometimes they are too fat and need a diet but thanks for your input!

You’re right, horses are herd animals and if possible should be kept with other horses, unfortunately that isn’t always possible and therefore we need to provide them with as much companionship as possible. My horse is happy and healthy.

My first and lifetime pony loved a place to himself and refused to accept another horse or any animal sharing with him. To the point of doing it some serious damage. Absolutely loved us and so safe a driving pony.

@josephinestecak4945 I said horses not pony .

@@TammySaj-zm6kr a pony is a young or smaller horse!

Horses are like people, some are social, some not so much. The danger is in expecting them to all be the same I feel.

Yes, I was there to do that 😅

I don’t think you watched the whole video

@@connectedhorsemanship I don't think I did, but I hope you find a friend for Romeo .

Thankyou, that’s the plan eventually but not practical right now. We walk past horses every other day and he really isn’t interested in them.

​@@connectedhorsemanshipthey need a friend and ofcourse takes a Day too become friend ❤
