All about the breed of Rising Star JK⭐ His foster mom Queen👑Uniek is a Friesian Horse

[@alishasimms2846]

Yes, Rising Star's build shows there is throroughbred in his genetics. I hope the owner will allow you to follow his growth once he's weaned. It would be great to see if he does become a dressage horse.

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Yes! Please keep us posted!

[@taynadelmar8608]

And please with a kind rider on top...many dressage horses suffer from animal unfriendly riding...

Rising Star is such a beautiful, inquisitive, friendly, and lovable, horse. He is such a funny, guy to watch. He is not intimidated by the size of the other members of the herd. He is a example of joy in the midst of a sad beginning. His mem, Uniek has given him such unconditional love and confidence! Much love and thanks to all at Stal G!

It's true, Rising Star has a noticeably different built than Rinse Janko. Both of them look strong and healthy, but Rinse Janko has a more compact, rounded built, whereas Rising Star is all lean muscle. Wish, we could see them grow up together and keep comparing their exterior and temperament, as they mature.

My old mare born March 1st 1968 was a Gelderland crossed with an Arab. She was beautiful. Her sire's stud name was Illegal immigrant! His dam had been pregnant when she came to Britain in the early 60's but they had thought the insemination had failed and she was not in foal. What a lovely surprise. My mare went on to have 5 foals and I bought her. She suffered terrible laminitis from being a brood mare so when I bought her she was just pampered and ridden out on hacks and the odd bit of schooling. She was the kindest most gentle, quirky horse I've ever had. I had special shoes made with heels so she could walk without her soles on the ground and that meant she didn't need pain relief. It worked for 3 years. Alas she got arthritis and the 2 conditions made it unbearable. She lost her fight aged 33. RIP Treasure. You were my soulmate and I love you still.

[@patriciaarpin-wilson4913]

I just love Rising Star's 3 white long socks! His socks and his long white star on his face makes him so unique!! He gets more handsome each day!! He is growing so fast! I heard him whinny for you, the second time I watched your lovely video, Yvonne! "Risey"...so cute you call him that, Yvonne! "Risey" was watching you with the other horses the whole time!

Your videos have been helping me through my health difficulties and depression. My mood instantly changes watching you and the horses and every one. I've learned more too. If I win a huge lottery I'd find a farm like yours, in beautiful place, even in your country, have horses, have a crew to care for them, and wake up every morning visiting the barn and watching the pastures. The crew working with them will help educate me to learn more about them. Whatever weather I'd enjoy them. That would be my heaven on earth. God bless to all.

[@kalayne6713]

Following the herd has helped heal my grief at losing my dad over ten years ago. He was a horse whisperer like Yvonne and, aged 99, as he was dying, he spoke of seeing beautiful horses. Two weeks after his death, I noticed stunning coloured horses, possibly Appaloosas in a field where there had never been horses before. I like to think Dad sent them, to let me know he was still around in spirit. I have never seen those beautiful horses again.

I remember the story on what happened to RS mom. So sad and that Uniek lost her baby. So sad but what an amazingly happy coincidence that she needed a baby and he needed a mom. It was meant to be and he is such a sweet foal. Such a tragic thing that happened to have a happy ending. I assume RS will go back to his owners once he is weaned. I hope we can keep up with him afterwards. He really is such a sweet foal and mom is the best. I’m just so grateful that she is yours. You remind me so much of my instructor I had when I was younger. She just had this amazing way with the horses. I learned so much from her.

Rising Star is very fortunate indeed , raised by a mare is far better than being fostered by humans. The foal will learn how to be a horse, and healthier psychologically for it. Horses raised by humans are at risk of acquiring undesirable behaviors.

So Rising Star has Thoroughbred somewhere in his pedigree. I thought so, because he looks like a quality Thoroughbred foal.
