You have the most beautiful draft I have ever seen. I would love to have a draft like yours for my husband (because I'd ride it, too 😜). I used to ride a thoroughbred/clydesdale mix. She was my favorite and was bulky while also being lean and easy to turn. There is no better way to describe her. I have wanted a draft ever since.

Thank you so much for this video i learned a great deal about drafts. And i actually love them. Lord Willing id have a chance to ride 1 someday . I hope you know Jesus died on the cross,rose on the 3rd day And wants a relationship with you. Romans 10:9 New International Version If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 2.

Does anyone have any tips for finding a draft/ draft cross to lease for riding?🙏🏻

What! I know you! You came here and rode with Christoph. I love your horse!! How are you?

I love how my mom got me a saddle for christmas

Big question too: Was the horse socialiszed well? How does it do in herds?

Agree with all aspects you stated. I have had a Percheron mare I raised form a weanling and trained for trail riding and became my main trail horse these last 15+ years. She took me on many a 20+ mile trail ride with no issues, with great endurance and surefootedness, willing to blaze trails other horse balked at and helped me clean the cobwebs out of many a tree ;) She is now semi-retired and is mostly used for my husband who only rides occasionally and she keeps him safe without being lazy, pulling a small wagon or as a mount for my kids, who can all ride her at once, lol. Other things to consider that wasn't mentioned are: it's hard to find tack that fits, need big and wide trailers, farrier care is difficult to find and/or expensive, higher cost to feed and the amount of manure and urine they produce is way more than an average sized horse. I didn't originally plan to have her as my horse (she was supposed to be for my then husband), but it just worked out that way. Beforehand, I never had a horse over 14.2 because I am pretty short and while I love her, I would not get another draft horse again. Don't get me wrong, she's an awesome horse and she would probably walk through fire for me just because I asked, but it is a bit more difficult having a giant horse. But it can be worth it and she is.

im 5'10 260/250, drafts are kinda my only Option

You are not talking about horses UNTIL you also include the Nooitgedachter, which most American have never heard of !!!!!

I don't think one HAS to be in a gaited horse's mouth for it to gait properly..

I'd love a draft horse, but I don't have the land and money for one. It's sad, but I guess you can't have everything you want 😞

Thank you for this

we need more 😁and he should splash some ocean waves next time if possible

Hi just curious how many time does this mighty horse eat..thanks

Lots of good information!

great idea but not sure i can pack that on my horse lol

Is it ok to get a cult if you want to take your time training so your horse hasnt been trainded in an aggresive mannor..i belive in gental natural methods like steve young teaches and i plan on haveing a professinal trainer assist me regularly too.

Thank you so much for shereing ,it's a great lesson,from what I'm learning watching my favourite trainer it realy seems like you can almost get any horse and its mostly a matter of training and training methods and that most horses can be amazing once there is love respect and healthy boundaries in place for all the basics. I was looking at older horses but now considering very young ones and just training them well from the start to avoid a horse with existing habits.

I am sixteen and watching has many videos has I can, I love horses and would really like one basically as soon as possible. I think the soonest is when I have my own place. I'm the same, I would just like a horse I can trail ride, camp a little and ride on a beach. I just found your channel and I love the way you share you tips, it is so helpful!

he is absolutely gorgeous!! I am exploring buying a gypsy and just love the breed! Happy to find your channel!

I have always wanted a horse since I was a very young age I would watch shows and say "I will grow up and have a farm" I just wish that would come true and I always imagine myself in the distant riding a beautiful sweet horse enjoying our time together that’s why I have urges to just get a horse a lovely nice home with food water equipment and whatever the horse needs❤

I want to be a wildlife rehabber and I want a horse in the future but until then I think lessons would prepare me for it again I was 13 years old when I started horse riding lessons

I am a 6’4” 295 lbs bodybuilder (low fat, so its not like I can loose much weight). What breed of foal could I get to train for trail riding?

should i go to auctions? i heart they sell horses at 200-500

I have had a standardbred for 22 years. He was six when I adopted him from off the track through a rescue and he's now 28 years old. I chose him because they're so steadfast. They're steady, they're wise And so kind .He's been my best friend. I can put Small children on his back and he carries them like they're a treasured package. I used to board him and whenever they needed a horse for a kid that didn't know how to ride they would borrow him because he stuck right with everybody else. I can't say enough wonderful things about the breed. He was my first horse. Got him when I was 40 and now I'm 62

Im age 28 getting a late start on a childhood dream of being a cowboy n wanting to learn to ride a horse n work with cattle, ive only ever really been on trail rides 😅

I just gotta say, your horse is the only reason i listened to that song after 57 years 😊

The cattle are Charolais. I'm really appreciating your videos! So honest and thoughtful, and of course Fame is gorgeous.

Hobbles very canonical you can get a set of good quality hoppers for around $40-$50

I had a Standard Bred and we use to do Light Horse reenactments with him. Light Horse is WW1 Australian Army Light Infantry, my ex could fire a blank 303 riffle a foot above his head and he would just stand there. We would also do reenactments such as tent pegging, drills, and Anzac Day parades. It was fun! Unfortunately ' Jilliby ' is no longer with us! He would have been 30 this year. I found that they are very intelligent and great with kids!! Well oh boy was anyway!

hello please I've been on the lookout for the perfect pony for my granddaughter.. have gone all through a bunch of Facebook groups but I've not seen what I'm looking for.. does anyone have any trusted sellers?

I spent 6 months on Facebook and it was not a good experience. I finally reached out to the barn owner where I was taking lessons and asked her to find me a horse. she is hauling a horse in for me for a 2 week trial period. I will pay to board for 2 weeks but okay with that. hopefully, this horse is the one! i'll meet him on Monday

7:39 😍😍😍🖤

Why does these huge horses have such short and puny tails!!??

What a lot I learned from you! You are a fantastic teacher! I've only just ridden on other people's horses so far in riding lessons, all different breeds, and I find I am a draft horse fanatic. Well, I love all horse breeds, but I can't get enough of the feathered feet. 😊 Thank you.

Than you again for being so helpful and encouraging with my relationship with my drum horse (Holly). I didn't seeike I may need to spoil her more. this video in the past and it looks l

Jeez… that’s a lot of stuff. Wouldn’t it be easier to sleep in the truck on cold nights!

❤❤❤

What’s actually shocking about this is that you have to buy a trailer. I live in Poland and have my horse for 18 years now - it’s not necessary really to have your own trailer here. It’s so easy to rent one, even with an experienced driver.

I had a wonderful perch/quarter mix as a kud( she lived to 32!) she was drafty but had the grace of a good quarter horse. Best baby sitter! 16 hands, naturally kind and LOVED me beyond. I never got hurt on her… Miss her ♥️‼️🙋‍♀️☮️🐴

Thank you so very much!!! I learned a lot♥️🙋‍♀️☮️‼️🐴

I'm thinking of buying a Percheron this week but I heard that their feet can be hard to do for farrier because they are so heavy. Do you have trouble getting their feet done?

We staked our horses out on picket lines just to clear flammable grasses in areas that weren’t fenced. They learned not to step on the rope. No one ever got tangled. We kept their water right at the edge so they could reach it but not knock it over. Car tires and truck tires are good anchors for water buckets.

I hope it’s not too forward to ask but what happened with Jake? How many horses in between Jake and Fame? Thank you for your videos. You have me thinking about so much! 🙏🏽

Thanks for great advices

How fascinating! I really wish we had something like this in my state/country of Australia! America has amazing places to visit!

I’m from The Netherlands, and went a couple of times to the event of Ring-steken, running at the ring, with Dutch draft horses. The kids ride on the horse without saddle. It’s very impressive to see, and hear, that horses run. In Dutch they are called Zeeuwse paarden, because they come from the province of Zeeland. (Where New Zealand is named after)

Loving your channel! I just purchased my first Draft Horse. She is a Percheron/Shire mix. I already have a TWH & a Spotted Saddle. My lesson horse was a Paint/Friesian mix so I have always wanted a Gentle Giant. Preparing for her arrival I had so many questions. Thank you for sharing this information. Much appreciated!

Most of my horses are Percheron crosses. I LOVE the big horse. My first draft cross was a Percheron/Tennessee Walker cross. She took me to Intermediate Cross Country Jumping. She was a willing mare & loved to jump. We traveled across the country. I had her for 30 years, she was born on my farm. She was my best friend. Other Percheron crosses, with Quarter horses & Thoroughbreds. Love them. All versatile & very mild disposition. I also rode Shires in the mountains of Wyoming. So enjoyable! I look forward to finding a pair of Gypsy Vanners & Drummers. Like you stated, drafts can do really anything. Mine did. And they enjoyed it...English, Western, jumping, dressage & trail riding is Always a favorite. All my draft crosses were always well behaved around children. And anyone. Also owned an Irish Draft Stallion.. 17.2 hands. Big black beautiful boy. ❤ You are fortunate to have such a gorgeous horse as Fame! Great video! You are spot on with your knowledge!
