A day in the life of a Friesian horse

[@Cissy2cute]

Tara you are a true well-rounded horsewoman. Not just the riding of your two boys, but the wonderful care you take of them. It is marvelous to watch you.

[@MsUbuzzme]

You have fostered such a happy relationship with your horses. It is really apparent that the trust is mutual. I enjoy watching and intend to teach my horse as well!

[@susanford6926]

You take excellent care of your horses🐎🐎

[@pennytriggs29]

Loved the day in the life of... You have done a great job with these two. They are obviously happy to work with you and it shows that your respectful and patient training is very effective. I hope your husband gets relief for his sore back. Thank you for this video.

[@Tara101]

thanks Penny

[@autumnisnothere]

Thank you Tara for once again giving us a proper look at the care and feeding of beloved horses. They do a good job of keeping their stalls relatively clean. Horses love to be dirty when they WANT to be and only then with no poos about. You've trained them so well and how great that they lift their legs on command for cleaning. The farrier is pleased of that I imagine!🐴 I'm sorry Rens' back is giving him trouble. Trusting he heals well & quickly. Prayers.🙏

Just saw this one for the first time. Love it when you retrieve them from the field. Adorable. I also love how you and Rens work together so fluidly. Great team. Lovely to see.

BLESSINGS ALL AROUND!!!! BLESSINGS GALORE!

[@kathy4569]

(HUG) I just loved this video Tara how blessed the boys are to have you! They listen to your every word and are so obedient, I love how they lift every leg when you say "foot" and "head down" AMAZING! Had no idea how much work is involved in keeping the boys so handsome and so well behaved! I just love your videos. Father in heaven bless Tara, Rense, Steve, Barouk, and Appollo, bring to them JOY, they bring so much joy to us Father, and thank Your Son for creating the most beautiful horses for us, Amen.

Always a pleasure to watch you caring for/interacting with Apollo and Farouk. They understand everything you say. ("Foot, foot") They were certainly ready to come in from the field. Glad to go. Happy to come back home.

[@shelleyyates6855]

Aw Tara what good boys Apollo and Farouk are, they was so glad to see you too when you went to fetch them home, well behaved boys they both are and even know their manners bless them, have a lovely day and see you all in the next video, big hugs to you all xxxxx

[@helencollins4462]

Love, love, love a day in the life of Apollo! And Farouk, who looked like he was about to lead you on a merry chase out in the field! So glad you are taking Apollo out! You know, it's those small little lessons repeated over and over that become habits. Farouk does a lovely job putting his head down and nose into the halter, as we call your head collar. Looking forward to Part 2! Xoxoxo

[@stephm281]

[@susanbrown2909]

Just goes to show putting words to a action..can soon train a horse to act on command. You keep your stables nice and clean,with less bedding and waste to dispose off. It’s only people like you tara that should keep horses tbh..they are well looked after. Hope Rens back feels better soon. Thanks Tara.

[@Tara101]

[@cmills53]

It is hard hard work due to Your love and dedication to your beautiful horses! Do you ever become fearful of someone stealing your horses in the field??? Love your channel ! Cindy from Texas! I love horses!

[@juliehock6059]

Cindy It’s a thought I’ve often had also. God willing that it never happens.

[@Tara101]

The field is near a village and a friend goes past twice a day. If someone was determined they could steel them. They are microchipped.

[@lyncheeseman]

I think Apollo would load himself in the box. Cos he’s a clever boy.

[@Tara101]

yes we have thought that too.

[@lyncheeseman]

Tara please try it one day.. as long as it’s safe ,just to see if he does.

[@brendawhite6540]

I don't know what you did but I can hear you very well! Thx 😁😁oh glad to hear about the floor. I think cement can cause arthritis .id say they are ready to come in😁when you had your comments your voice is low😊Such sweet boys. You and RENs have a great connection with them😁well, they have a good aim on the wee spot😊good boys❤️

thanks for you comment, the sound on my laptop sounds loud, I'll look into the sound for you

many thanks🥰

[@LILM79847]

Yes, and love Farouk to there aswell also too he is a very good horse there..

[@juliecase624]

Hopefully you also had a couple of days off while the boys were in the field - your mornings are certainly busy when they are home. Good of Rens to help even with a wonky back, poor man. Normally that electric fence isn't there, is it? Is there a reason for having it - apart from giving Farouk less distance to run away :)? Nice how easy was to get both horses loaded with them waiting patiently for you. Enjoyed the video and looking forward to part 2 (and hopefully 3 and 4 lol). Hope Rens gets some relief soon.

[@Tara101]

they like to eat near the other horses in the next field so we wanted them to eat the other side. we removed the electric last Sunday

[@phyllisboone8006]

Why no shoes on Farouk? You do have them well trained on hoof cleaning. Great video as usual.

[@Tara101]

does not need shoes

[@LILM79847]

Yes say tara I was always wondered what that black looking thing was in the horses stables there..

[@Tara101]

water drinker

[@randyfuller7294]

Why remove the feathers I think is one of the best parts of the breeds

[@shelleyandcritters841]

Some people do that to make it easier, as feathered horses are prone to things like mud fever.

[@gingerpanda4707]

I absolutely love your videos, but I have to ask; have you trained each horse to wee in those specific areas, or have you learned where they prefer to wee and just put the bedding in that spot?

[@Tara101]

They told us where to put the miscanthus

[@markrumfola9833]

Your very welcome , much respect

[@Tara101]

😃

[@malabar900]

Tara, I just had a couple of questions. Do the horses stay overnight in the field and if so do you take food to them.?

[@Tara101]

it depends on the time of year

[@j.r.hanzer1635]

Hi Tara I was wondering why you don’t have Farouk shoed ?

[@Tara101]

does not need shoes

[@geminidream4347]

You are just being a great responsible animal owner by mucking those stalls so well. I know I wouldn't like to have to lay down in my own mess, so you know your animals must feel the same way. *high five Tara* Plus it saves on vet bills. : ) I will never stop being awed seeing Apollo and Farouk lift their feet, including the back, like that no matter how many times I see it. Thank you for the up close way to clean out a hoof. Question, did you teach them to only go in the certain spots in there stalls or did you just observe where they went and work from there?

[@Tara101]

We just observed

[@geminidream4347]

@@Tara101 Thank you.

[@toerag93able]

If you tied some bailing twine on to your hoof pick then on to a smaller bucket then you wouldn't have to clear up after picking out their feet. Saves time. 💜

[@Tara101]

It never all goes in a bucket so I have to sweep up anyway

Is it true what they say about horses being a high matinice animal so they say there..🤔🤔🤔🐴🐴

[@SarahJones-wy5us]

Why take the feathers off a friesian horse? part of the natural beauty of the breed,if it is just for show defeats the object of the friesian beauty?.

[@shelleyandcritters841]

Makes it easier to keep away mud fever and other problems feathered horses can be prone to.
