A Moment In Time With The Horses Today

[@lisaraymond6193]

Yes cause we all know that isolating people and animals is good for their health. So sad. At least we know some of us are enjoying thoroughly the opposite. Beautiful babies and they are very happy with all that you do for them. It shows.

[@kelciquereau3052]

Such a wonderful channel :) thanks so much for your peaceful content

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you. My pleasure!

[@Beachy1955]

This is just so much fun to watch. I’d never get any work done. I love the smell of horses and it’s been years since I’ve touched one but the super velvety feel of their nose/ mouth area is unbelievable soft. I miss that.

[@apocolipse360]

I want to thank you for your steady camera work. You do very well with keeping up with moving horses and don't bounce the camera, very enjoyable! Thanks!!!

[@StableHorseTraining]

I utterly hate camera shake myself too. You're welcome!

[@Beachy1955]

Don’t listen to fools who think a horse alone could possibly be happy. They’re HERD animals! That means they enjoy a plural existence. Thank you & God bless you for taking the time to not only care for these beautiful creatures but to really come to understand them. ❤️👍🏼🐎

[@StableHorseTraining]

Agreed :) Thank you!

[@teresalove9413]

I can not think of a better to start my day a cup of coffee and watching your horse video wishing you a great day

[@rindapelton5876]

Enjoyed! Thank you!🤗

[@naomisawyer1555]

They consider you a horse. Great honor.

[@calypso4554]

I absolutely love your videos and of course especially your comments. They show such a lot of insight and love for the "horsies". Btw -- I think Luke is convinced that he is a stallion.....

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you :)

[@tinachippas7075]

Just a lovely, peaceful Sunday morning. Perfect.

[@meercatt]

I just love your content… so soothing and gorgeous. Even the way you speak is soothing, I know it is for the horses… but it works on people too. 😄

[@GodisTruth914]

Same!

[@jillsimmons110]

I guess i will say it again. This is my.favorite! Thru the screen i could feel the calm of you and the horses. Gotta say your Luke is so cute with Little Miss. Maybe she smells extra delicious.

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thank you very much :)

[@Beachy1955]

Agreed. These videos are amazing! I love em! ❤️❤️

[@Beachy1955]

And don’t listen to the neigh sayers…they’re ignorant, jealous or both! I admire your approach and hope many people learn from you. Horses would be better off and much happier and content. 👍🏼❤️👏🏼

[@kccustodes2618]

Make a friend, be a friend... Vital for horses and for us too.

[@martineinfrance]

It's always such a delight to watch them interacting! Although looking similar, it's always different and interesting. Each horseplay brings a new experience. I noticed through all your videos that in each playtime, when a pair of horses forms, co- grooms and plays, they remain together till the end, most of the time. The dynamics change on each video. Thank you for sharing such a learning experience on horse's behavior.

[@KnutFan]

Many of your videos illustrate how so much of a horses experience of the world is through the mouth and upper lip thingy. I’m forgetting the term for that. Snout? Luke definitely is a very unique horse and a delight to watch. I agree with you about keeping horses alone. I find it very depressing when I see horses living a solitary life

[@royalty77724]

lol. oh Luke...HE really is a character❤ Gracie has come a long way, she is too much. such personalities! lol... Would you sell Luke shirts? I would buy one😊

One of my deepest regrets was when we got our last dog (at the pound) we didn't get her mom, too. Maggie was one of 13 puppies. Found roaming the streets. Mags was the last of the litter to be picked. LOL I think it was because she was naughty and snippy. While waiting for my husband and daughter to finish the paperwork Maggie and I were in another room. Mags snipped at me and ran around chewing on cords etc. I swooped her up, told her that would be the end of that stuff, gently rolled her into my arms and onto her back. I gently held her until she relaxed completely. She never again chewed on anything or snipped at people. She was a lovely dog. Her mom would have appreciated our home. My horses always had companions. The sweetest and feistiest were my Shetland and my dad's cattle horse. They were the leaders of our little herd. I never got tired of just watching them as a herd.

[@StableHorseTraining]

Sounds like a wonderful little dog that you gave a great life to, that's fantastic. Yes, being with animals and watching them is a good time.

[@whitefluffydogs9278]

Gracie’s like, “can I HELP you?”

[@Jper65560]

You can't please everyone sadly but it's awesome seeing Gracie and Lena co-grooming each other

[@kkdoc7864]

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder when Gracie started doing that and if she co-grooms with anyone else because she was a “misfit” in the beginning.

[@pennywebb867]

@@kkdoc7864 I was thinking the same thing about Gracie. I have always loved her but she seems so much more content and social lately. It's a joy to see.

[@Charles-r5b2x]

Juan 😎👍🏼

[@kkdoc7864]

Every horse needs a companion horse. They were created to be in a herd, small or large, and I think it’s actually cruel to prevent that from happening.

[@GodisTruth914]

Exactly!! A horse is made to be in a herd. Left all alone is cruel.

[@pennywebb867]

I agree completely, even more so as I watch the emotional growth of each horse in Graeme's herd!

[@kkdoc7864]

@@pennywebb867 Gracie is a prime example of how being with other horses can reshape “attitudes”. She was alone for the first 4 years of her life (as you know) without any clue as to how to behave in a herd. Apparently, (at least with Gracie), it can take a long time for horses to learn how to be herd members if they’re introduced to the experience later in life. But I’m just guessing. Because Gracie has come such a long way,, I’m assuming it’s true with all horses.

[@StableHorseTraining]

I agree.

[@alicemazzucco2345]

Aww love horses, does the gray one have someone wro g with her leg maybe.

[@laraemitchell9064]

My first horse when I was a kid was an “only”. I was lucky to get my dad to buy me ONE. I feel bad about that now ( didn’t know enough at the time to realize horses are better off with friends). I did spend all my time with her. But what can someone do for their only horses. (No “horse parks” available like a dog park). Not everyone can have more than one. Is there a remedy or should people just not have a horse unless they can get more than one.

[@suzzettedecuir6678]

Where’s Yoka? I missed seeing her and her fluffy top!

[@StableHorseTraining]

She was eating after a few hours of work/play earlier.

[@donnashort9634]

Where's the Pom Pom head? 😉

[@StableHorseTraining]

[@CamperVan-K]

Its lovely to watch your videos. Gives me a whole new perspective, even though ive loved them all my life. By no means a criticism, but could you tell me if they ever run free on green grass rather than sand?

[@StableHorseTraining]

They do not as we don't have that here. I know it may seem counter intuitive, but the sand and gravel is far better for their feet. Think of the horses that live out on the plains and deserts of mid america. The horses that live on grass have the weakest and most deformed feet as they don't have hard ground pushing back up on them. It's a long thing to explain maybe...

[@BewleyBooks]

@@StableHorseTraining That's interesting, never thought about that before. That's a good point. As long as they have good feed other than grass I can see that would be a good thing. Thanks for answering as I know how busy you are from the amount of comments you get best. K

[@donnacsuti4980]

I think Luke is fond of little miss

[@patriciasapp6028]

I have 2 mares they never grew each other does that mean they don't like each other they've been together for about 4 months

[@StableHorseTraining]

I think so, maybe in time that will change

[@bendrui]

Gracie's mouth full of hair inspires a question - do horses get hair balls? I I understand that horses cannot vomit. Does the hair they eat from grooming stay in their digestive tracts, or do they pass it?

[@StableHorseTraining]

I don't believe they do

[@AL-lz1hb]

Did you see how carefully Gracie was nibbling underneath Lena's mane? And Lena reciprocating. Now that is good co-grooming. Not so good co-grooming is when you leave your pretty ponies together, and the next day, your pony has had half his mane hogged! Oopsie? Either grooming method though probably means you have contented ponies, which of course, is everything.

[@StableHorseTraining]

Well.. sometimes my horses are missing part of their manes too! It happens here :) just not this time

[@BlessingRose]

Why would someone brag about isolating their horses??? The heck is wrong with people 🙄

[@StableHorseTraining]

It's a great question that never got answered as she quickly turned to attack and belittle. It was weird.

[@vickyb5935]

And Yoka?

[@StableHorseTraining]

She was eating after a few hours of work/play earlier.

[@GodisTruth914]

Lena and Gracie co-grooming is adorable!! A mouth full of hair tho.....yuck!

[@lynnesinclair35]

Who is the big boy he’s gorgeous, not Luke although he is stunning

[@lynnesinclair35]

Mr Wilde I think, the darker one
