Andalusian Foal at his new home Day 4 & 5. Teaching him to lift his feet.

[@iffybaker5013]

Beautiful chestnut gelding, I have never seen a chestnut Andalusian until this young man, his confirmation is excellent! A handsome young man!

[@coreywest1183]

Diablo is doing incredibly well considering all the new stimulus he is receiving! What a lucky guy he is to be on your home

[@Tara101]

thanks 😊

[@cheryldes104]

Excellent Tara! I appreciate your firmness with him as a guide for me. Thank you both.

[@Witchy_Woman]

He is gorgeous! I love how all the cows are there checking him out., lol. So cute.

[@KimParkerAdcock]

His movement is so beautiful and he loves to learn from what we can see so far. You picked a winner here Tara!

[@Sunshine-nr6qe]

Cattle certainly are enjoying their ringside seats 😂. Too funny!

[@Tara101]

👍😁

[@trjames9042]

I thought the same! They’re very curious abt Diablo. He sure seems to like Rens!

[@patricik3adykohollandswort668]

He is a dandy! Love his curiosity and keen awareness! His spirit shines through his whole demeanor! Your firmness and patience inspires his trust.

[@amandaclark794]

He's gorgeous Tara. Not cruel at all in teaching him boundaries and having respect 👍. Look forward to watching your journey with him 😊 xx

[@Tara101]

Thank you so much!

[@angemac1519]

Omgosh he had quite a fan club there lol. He tried to show his dominance today but didn’t get away with it. He does seem to learn quickly & wants to please - which is lovely. With your training & caring as always I’m sure he will come on in leaps & bounds. Great stuff x

[@louisebcohen420]

Tara, you are amazing!!!!! You are going to have another incredible horse in Diablo!!!!!! 👍❤️🐴

[@Tara101]

🤞😊

[@nicolawootton]

Your videos are just amazing, not over produced or anything, just lovely! My new favourite channel, thank you for bringing us along on your horses respective journeys!

[@Tara101]

Wow, thank you!

[@margaretf7034]

I have no doubt that with your firm kind training you will turn Diablo into a well mannered and wonderful horse and a pleasure to be with. Look at Farouk and the progress he has made under your care. I, like many of your followers, am unable to ride anymore but your videos have brought back many happy memories, but more than that, a real interest in watching your training methods and and the wonderful way you look after your lovely horses. Also Rens and Steve’s progress in learning to ride is very interesting. Thank you. M

[@Tara101]

good to know 🥰

[@iffybaker5013]

Oh my, ive never thought of not riding anymore, would be a horror curse of my life!

[@TheSeamstress1]

Tara this is such good learning material for us and Diablo. Thank you for teaching us. We're getting a step-by-step education in how to start from scratch to bring on a foal, from actual zero. I actually love the fact that Diablo knows nothing yet. His process is already teaching me a lot of things. Thank you!

[@jesssanderson1908]

He is so beautiful and already responds as one of the family, he’s a very lucky boy to have you all he’s going to be so loved clearly 🐴

[@tinacaseley395]

Love your "School Mam" voice with Diablo. Cheeky little man who definitely needs a firm hand at this stage as it will make things go a lot easier as his learning progresses. looking forward to watching his development. Thanks again for a great video.

[@catieb7415]

Oh wow I really like Diablo 😍 he’s got a tonne of cheek, he’s in love with all three of you, he’s learned to scare off the bulls. There’s a lot to be impressed with this guy 🤗👍 He’s finding his own beat more and more each day. 👏👏👏

[@lali7839]

He is a little beauty tara, so lucky to have you as his mum...he is going to be a stunner!

[@louisedownes4512]

Hi Tara, wow Diablo is getting braver by the day....can't believe how he tried to protect you against the cows....you could see that was his intention !! Your in his herd not theirs 😂🐴.....i just love how he follows you.......he's a beautiful creature ! Tell Ren that was a beautiful shot of the moon ! And that squirrel was so funny trying to do a circus act ! 🙈😂 Looking forward to seeing you both and the boys tomorrow ... 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐶 xx

[@camillakattell8623]

I'm impressed with your understanding of the discipline Diablo needs. It's hard to start a colt that hasn't been handled and you are doing it the right way. There is nothing cruel in your requiring that he respect you and teaching that he isn't the dominate party. You are a good trainer. I'm impressed too with his response to you when he is free. He definitely hooks on to you and your husband. What a fine disposition he'll have when he learns to be led and not to lead.

[@Tara101]

👍🤞😁

[@rbranda11]

He is a majestic beauty and is learning so fast it amazes me! I love just watching him even when he’s standing still. What a love ❤️! Tina

[@susanslater7892]

Such a gorgeous boy, you are a really good teacher, so patient and kind. Exciting watching him learn and progress, fairly quickly too, bet he loves his new home and his new family. 🐎💖

[@janetbrown6512]

I was holding my breath while you were doing his back feet. He is a spirited colt, good thing you are a spirited leader! The cows are such curious animals. It’s funny watching them watch him. 😊🐮🐴

[@cathyd3012]

Diablo turned to Rens then you for reassurance & guidance on how to react, if at all, when faced with the intimidating bulls (just precious how they look on at the new arrival). Wonderful to see & bodes well for future unknowns. He's a sweet, curious boy. Then, in the stall he explores the rope with his whiskers & lips, figuring out what this new thing is.

[@sallywright8031]

He really is such a lovely boy. I can't wait to see his progress. You're both so gentle with the boys it's a joy to watch. x

[@organtunes]

I'm new to your site & am loving every moment. Watched you get Diablo & am viewing day by day the progress he's making. I've never had horses but did some riding in my youth. Am an older lady now & will never be able to ride again, so the next best thing is enjoying these videos. Thanks so much - looking forward to the next! ♥

[@zippymax1]

Yeah, this is a great channel. I don't even remember how I found it. I've never ridden a horse or even been particularly interested in them--until now. These horses are smart and beautiful--and Tara has such a refined-yet-charismatic personality. And she uploads every day, which I've heard is a gargantuan task; yet Tara makes it look effortless.

[@Tara101]

@organtunes welcome to our little channel and thank you for sharing something about yourself

[@Tara101]

@exas Jack Wow! I'll have to watch my head doesn't swell 🥰😂

[@jodyhuston1516]

@Julie Scott Julie, I started earlier on but one of my greatest pleasures was breathing in the scent of horse, and grooming them, every inch, and making them feel good. Maybe on your sorest days, you could try that . Much happiness to you!

[@victoriaspira8344]

This is so lovely to watch how you progress. I shall look forward to seeing Diablo mature. I'd be going trigger happy with the camera 🥰 all so interesting.

[@geniemichel4245]

The cattle think he’s super cool and like hanging out at the fence line with Little Diablo! 🐎🐂🐂🐂🐂💕💕💕💕

[@kated2847]

I love the shape of his head. I think he sees Rens as the mighty all powerful now since he managed to make all the bulls leave. Just the look on his face as the bulls took off.

[@Tara101]

😂

[@lindajh23]

Aww he's doing great 👍 picking everything up very quickly, gorgeous boy xx 🤩👏🐎

[@Tara101]

Yes, thank you

[@polom5963]

He is gorgeous but most importantly he seems to have such a lovely character and loves people. He will be soooo much fun. Looking forward to following your journey together x

[@dobybeau]

Your followers understand discipline and setting boundaries….glad to see it in fact. You obviously have considerable horse experience to draw from as you are very calm and natural at this. This will be so interesting to watch...Good luck , I think he will be very eager to please as time goes by. What a beauty he is !

[@bernadettehooper4318]

Fascinating. Diablo is gorgeous and you will make sure he is redirected from any bad habits. So glad you are sharing all the steps in his training.

[@jodyhuston1516]

Looks like he has no memory of the gelding (Thanks Doc !) and he is doing so well, walking, grazing and approaching his good friend Rens. Lol, look at his face when the powerful Rens scatters the cows! Tara, just excellent beginner foal training in the stall. He has offered you his feet - he's yours ! Yay !!! What a beautiful baby... !

[@laurashipp447]

As excited as I am to view this newest journey, I must say I truly am missing "the boys" Apollo and Farouke!! Stay safe and well all!!!

[@samanthawalker2888]

I love watching your videos. I miss having horses so much your videos have inspired me to try to start my own business of raising Arabians and using them for therapy for autistic children and veterans with PTSD and such. I get such inspiration from you and your videos I just had to tell you about my dream business. I am 56 and single with only my son and his family as my support system. He lives in Colorado and I in Texas so I am pretty much on my own. I am a disabled veteran myself so I really want to help other vets. I spent most of my childhood and through high school riding, breaking, training, and owning horses. After I was married it was sporadic times with horses. I love Arabians and I want to show people how beautiful and living they are. I wish we were in the same country because I would love to work with you on my dream business. I respect your abilities and knowledge and especially your care for your horses. Please keep the videos coming. You really help motivate me to get out there and start my business. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sam

[@Tara101]

All the best for your new business

[@tayaschleusner6506]

Diablo is the exact same color as my last Arabian mare. It's such a beautiful color and with the white contrast it is very showy. He is such a sweet boy. Love how he followed Rens in the paddock and although he was pushy, he was cooperative as well with you in the stall. I think he is going to make a spectacular riding horse Tara. With your guidance and care he will grow into a true beauty inside and out.

[@pj8143]

Least Diablo has a dad to follow. All the bulls staring at Diablo as if he is the teacher & the bulls are the pupils. Diablo is saying dad you’ve scared my pupils away, while I was showing them how to be a horse.🤣😂😅. We have that problem in Australia the weather forecasters 👨‍💼tell you there going to be heavy rain with storm the next day or so, so you don’t water your garden & the next day it’s sunny not a cloud in the sky. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️. 🤣😂😅 You will do amazing job with Diablo, Tara (tough love). Thanks for sharing. Tara

[@Tara101]

tfs Peta D ♥️

[@shelleyandcritters841]

Awwww Diablo following Rens 😍 Loved how Rens showed him that cows aren't scary. I think it definitely helped boost his confidence. Loved watching you work on tying and "foot" with Diablo. Despite being a "little devil" he started to catch on quickly! I feel he's a smart one; he'll get things fast. It's going to be exciting to watch and see the difference between him and Bella in how they progress in training. Lastly, love your flowers!!!!

[@Got2Bespoke]

Oh my gosh, he’s so sweet with you and Rens! I love his character and he’s been quite mature for having been separated from mom and moving a few hours away. Definitely an Iberian in personality

[@christinehuewen6108]

He's so adorable, seems very sweet natured. I think your firm approach is spot on by the way. I could not imagine you ever being cruel, what would be cruel is letting him grow up with bad habits and then having to be disciplined all the time.

[@msu.p.2872]

I like the nonchalant way he is eating grass right next to the cattle as if he had always done it! You will quickly teach him some manners- he is just not used to it yet but I can see a huge potential 🐎🥕🥕💖

[@angiemaris3895]

Those bulls might think he is one of them... same colour but different looking lol. I am in-love... he is a beautiful boy. Lovely to see the flowers. He is still an Angel to me. :-)

[@vanessalacey3588]

Wow Diablo really is doing well after a few days. He is cheeky but that's what makes him so wonderful to watch. Great to see him bonding with the bulls and owning his area in the paddock. I absolute love watching your videos every day (if I can) and you guys working your magic. As always, I look forward to the next video. ❤️🐴

[@sincerelyequestrian9460]

Diablo is such a beautiful boy! He is a lovely colour and is so spirited!! He has a wonderful personality and has such a wonderful new home! It was so lovely to see him and Ren’s in the field together as well- so sweet.

[@alisonmcphail8173]

Very much enjoying watching this experience with you two and Diablo. The bond that Rens appears to have established with him already is lovely. And matchy matchy with the steers too. Hahaha ... What a great English summer you will have. And for me watching in our southern winter.

[@louisedownes4512]

Hi Tara, it's nice to see Diablo settling down with the cows, he seems to be a fast learner !! Its so lovely to watch him trying to figure out what everything is ...... Love the way he follows you and Ren around the field....obviously loves to be with you and feels safe as he hasn't got his mummy now....... I think he's done extremely well over the last 5 days while he's been in your hands.....just love the way you handle him can't wait for tomorrow's video....I'm a little addicted to them 😂😂❤🐴🐴🐴🐴🐶 x

[@elizabethalexander8483]

He's such a lovely baby & will be easy to train. He'll accept you as boss easily, just a matter of time, which to me would be joyful. He followed his mother & he will most certainly follow you. What a very good boy he is!

[@nicolewilliams3492]

The bullocks are like "look lads we have a brother from a different mother." Lols... Absolutely nothing cruel with your handling of him in the stable. I'd have done the same. You have to be firm or they'll hurt you. He was living up to his name sake a little today lols... great video today Tara thank you ❤

[@Tara101]

"a brother from a different mother." 😂🤣

[@sarah-kt5uk]

I've had to wait all day to see this because I had to work. I am so pleased to see you teaching him some manners, so many people leave this because they are young and cute then can't handle them when they are older and much bigger which sadly means they are sold on quickly and some end up as meat. You're doing such a great job and I have really enjoyed all your videos.

[@KMartha22]

Awww he's friends with the bulls now. So sweet to see.

[@heatherrussell4988]

Hi Tara , I think you’re doing a great job with him .. we all must remember he is not even 1 year old yet and it’s all part of the learning experience.. I don’t think you’re being cruel, teaching him you’re the boss.. best wishes from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

[@Tara101]

Thank you so much!

[@Lovehors4s]

Lol, it's beenYEARS since I'd dealt with a yearling. But he's doing well this far. He will learn routine & structure from you. I will enjoy watching his day to day progress 👍he's a strong boy💪 He's getting on well with the bovine herd. He liked them laying down, not so intimidating lol

Hi Tara I seem to remember when you first got Farouk you said you would start off firm with him and see how things went ,well look how he’s turned out beautifully as is Apollo . Love watching the progression slowly but surely.🇦🇺👋

[@elandria]

Love to see him coming back to you for reassurance about the bulls and happily following you around the field, hopefully his willingness will shine through with his manners with being handled more :D

[@stephm281]

All have to have boundaries no matter what size.they will love and respect you in the end. Diablo is such a little darling. Do miss seeing his big brothers tho. As always Thankyou. 👍🏻😊

[@riverbank4126]

I hadn't seen the first 3 days with Diablo - he really shows so much common sense for such a young colt. He may be a bit bossy, but he really seems happy to let you take control of him and like Bella, he doesn't seem to get too worried about things. Their personalities speak very well for Andalusians.

[@ruthgoebel723]

Youngsters, whether they are human or animal, need to learn boundaries. The world is full of those who have not had this teaching and we can see the result of that, can we not? You are doing a marvelous job with Diablo. It is vital he learns his place and what is, and is not, acceptable behaviour. That will make him a safe and happy horse. It so sweet to see him interacting with you all. What a promising young chap he is! I look forward to his development with much interest!!! Keep up the good work, Tara!!! You know I’ve said this before, but everything you do teaches him something. Oh, he’s a little monkey, isn’t he??!! 😍

[@janetmajor1152]

[@dianarodriguez9783]

How interesting! The PRE I saw in Córdoba was chewing his rope constantly. He would push against me. If he pushed too much I pushed back and he would move but Yarumo was huge! 6 year old stallion. Seem to have these tendencies. Maybe I should have been firmer! Love this Diablo and he seems to love him some Rens and Rens is enjoying Diablo very much as well.

[@janicetaylor2486]

Toddlers are very trying in any species !! He's doing really well though, gorgeous personality!

Yes, thanks

[@hazeltaylor182]

Enjoyed seeing the change in Diablo - much more relaxed & he knows you are all his friends. Great how quickly he has accepted the presence of the bulls Both Rens & Steve had showed him they were able to move them on - giving him confidence. Good way to teach him to be tied up & he wasn't rebellious - but like you say Tara - just pushy & feel he will sooon 'get the message' & didn't mind lifting his feet for you Well done once again Tara . We had a Nor Wester today - a real gift after the morning frosts - a lovely day. Love to you all :-)

[@Tara101]

tfs Hazel♥️

[@tracym6297]

What a good boy. I think he's a pleaser. The boundaries are clear so it will be easy for him to figure out what you want. Plus, he's a smart horse. Look how he is with the cows after seeing Rens with them.

[@Tara101]

👍😂🐴

[@pipr5070]

😂😂😂 you know he’ll be undoing the knot when you tie him up. Our colt did exactly the same thing just as a game, and then he just stood there. It was a puzzle to be solved as far as he was concerned.

Diablo and the bulls... so cute!

[@anjed989]

Oh, what a cheeky monkey he is! He is testing you and in a herd that would have been a bite or a kick from the lead horse, glad to see he is respecting you once he learned his boundaries. He does seem to be a quick learner 🥰🐴. I am looking forward to see more video’s and also looking forward to seeing how well the introductions will go with Apollo and Farouk ❤️🐴

[@angiew1841]

That’s right Tara , you have to be firm from the start , otherwise they never learn to respect your space , and they are so much stronger than people , if they are let to do what they want it can become dangerous, my friend let her now 7 years cob just do what it wants from a foal and though she has a friendly nature and likes to be with people gosh she is a right in your face mare and will just walk into you to get past , she has no respect.

[@Tara101]

so dangerous 🥺

[@peightonstorm1053]

It looks like Diablo has his own fan club over there LOL I never saw the cows that close to the fence together before
