Black horse 🐎 a beauty..too small for the rider..💯🚫 As ALWAYS Farouk shine's

[@nancyM1313]

YAY!🎊👍🏻💚 🎊Green ribbons🎉 Much appreciated🐴 Tfsharing Tara~♡

[@juttafitzmaurice5998]

Little black horse with large rider didn’t look happy at all. First ride out with a group must have been bewildering. Thanks Tara for always being so considerate of your horses.

[@bethje30]

It's so cool to see that Farouk was like rhe little black horse only a few years ago and look at him now, such a pro...

[@Dana-eq5nz]

What a beautiful ride. In every sense.

[@samanthasnyder9087]

Farouk is in his prime! He'll do anything for you Tara...especially canter. ❤

[@longwhitemane]

I don't know how recently it was that the black horse was backed, but it seems to me that this ride was a HUGE ask, not just a big ask. You're right though...he did beautifully. 😃 Don't mind me though, I am a nervous Nelly rider anyway. 😜

[@unrulycrow6299]

I love how it begins with Farouk on a mission to explore his surroundings.

[@donnagoring250]

Unruly Crow. Oh Yes your comment! It seems he loves the English Countryside and loves to see all the sights! He so enjoys his rides with Tara and feels so happy with all of it!

[@barbarataylor2026]

He is such a good boy

[@theresaoberg2759]

What a good boy he is. Straight as an arrow for you. Nice, enjoyed going along!

[@Tara101]

😊

[@gillburton-thomas6370]

Farouk really covers the ground doesn’t he😃

[@kathleenorr9237]

Each time I hear Tara say slower I imagine Farouk thinking “ok mum but..I know mum but..”. He was superb on this section, ears up looking around 🐴❤️

[@ruthgoebel723]

Certainly a Black Beauty there. Mum was surely busy, but he seemed to be doing well for being backed recently. Brave lady, for certain! Farouk is loving those canter spots as usual. Ever the observant 'tourist'! ❤️❤️❤️🏇🏇🏇🥰🥰🥰

[@joenewman6494]

Yes was a beautiful black pony with a lot of energy 🤣 Greetings from the USA❤

[@CountryLane-kj3fk]

You live in such a beautiful Community, especially for pleasure rides, makes one day dream ...of horses and daytime escapes!

[@Tara101]

😁

[@reeritz1280]

I just love watching Farouk's ears perk up when he approaches other horses/riders. He is so very alert..& seems to know when it's OK to flash past. He never hesitates or greets the others..just gets right back to the job at hand😤👍

[@Tara101]

😁

[@finnegan1657]

Farouk on a loose rein walking so well and then Farouk sees a straight away ahead and he is ready to go! I love this little guy 💖

[@Tara101]

♥️

[@karenwhite5484]

Farouk checking everything out on the ride. Ears up, looking all around. When will Apollo get to go for a long ride?

[@jamie7253]

“Well, I wasn’t trying to be obstinate, Mum, but if a choice, I’d rather go on smooth rather than stony road-so I’m glad you “suggested” the verge instead.” 😂😉❤️ Apollo walk required to must-see the green horse. What a beauty, and doing level best with all the massive stimulation, having just been backed. Even Farouk was impressed! 👍🏻👏🏻❤️

[@carp81067]

I'm jealous! Would love to be riding right along beside you!

[@Tara101]

♥️

[@miarobv]

I was impressed how calm Farouk stayed when you passed the black pony that was prancing about .

[@Tara101]

😊

[@rebeccaweil1]

Galloping like the wind

[@bevbremer2680]

Farouk is loving it!!💖 As he walks he's looking all over, very relaxed. Also all the running he wants to do because mom loves it to!!💕💕👍👍👵

[@Tara101]

😊 thank you

[@bcgrote]

Lovely lanes to ride through! The black is a pretty little thing, very brave rider to bring it out so soon!

[@ToLoveTruth]

Gosh Farouk is such a darling! He’s so delightfully engaged with his surroundings and yet so responsive (mostly) to Tara. What a wonderful horse/rider relationship! 🐎❤️👍

[@Tara101]

😊

[@karenbellini2240]

A very relaxing ride. That black beauty did well for his first group ride. The other riders were nice. Good boy Farouk. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

[@juliescott9485]

Its fun judging Faroukl's speed by how fast the scenery goes past, even when Tara says slower! Yes, gorgeous little black pony. Such a lovely ride ❤❣🐎❣🌿

[@louisebcohen420]

Tara, you and Farouk are and incredible team!!!!!! You have trained an amazing horse!!!!!!!! 👍❤️

[@ferngarner1]

Farouk has the best manners. Well done.

[@pennytriggs29]

Farouk is enjoying the lovely cantering spots. He and Apollo so love to get out on these events. The gal who was riding the black horse was courageous given he was newly backed. I hope it went well for them.

[@debrabolton9372]

Farouk was his usual speedy self. He must be a joy to ride. He is always the most handsome. The black horse was a beauty. Be well!💙💙

[@Tara101]

😁

[@jayneterry8701]

Right when you thought there wasn't much grass! 🐎😀💗

[@suern0000]

I love his little clip clop hoof sounds on the road. 😊

[@susanbeesley8299]

Lovely place for riding xx

[@Bijan630]

As Farouk picks up speed and the surrounding scenery becomes a blur, I started hearing "Break My Stride" playing in my head...until he has to slow down because of the other horses or traffic. Thank you Tara! I always enjoy your videos.

[@margritneuenhagen6950]

It was a beautiful ride, it always is with Farouk. He is a lot of fun he looks at his surroundings, but listens to his mum, I think that is the best part. Great horse !

[@Tara101]

😊

[@CarinaSol_Trance_Techno]

I love your videos. It is so lovely to see how Farouks ears are forwards and what a lovely character he has, no problem when passing other horses, doesn't even seem to be interested in other horses. And the black horse was really soooo beautiful. But Farouk is also soooo beautiful, I love the red colour and how gentle he is.

[@debbieadkins2803]

Very much enjoyed Farouk, and the country side is nice!👍👍❤️🤍💙☀️🌻🌻😊

[@marian2040]

The countryside is looking fabulous Tara, I'm looking about just as much as Farouk. I love getting out and about with you both 💕

[@Tara101]

😁

[@judyg9096]

Beautiful ride! Tara you have a lot of fans! Lots of people recognize you on these rides now! Farouk is loving it! 🏇🚀❤️

[@livlovely2707]

That black horse was beautiful, even when he was walking sideways! As you said, she really had her hands full with that one. 🐴🚀🌻

[@Amanda-ly9rc]

🥰🥰🥰 🐾🖤💜🧡🌺

[@sarahmarks7082]

🤣😂 Tara: " Don't do me out of a mile! " So nice that you met a nice fan to chat with 🥰😘 I think her horse is wearing those 'shoeless' shoes 🐎What a beautiful smaller black horse 🖤 with lots of pep! The rider is doing exactly what she needs to be doing with her horse

[@mikaliunas90]

I love how Farouk wanted to go his own way in the beginning

[@Tara101]

😁

[@susanford6926]

Farouk you have the best trai rides!!!🐎🍎🥕

[@larinvermont3271]

Beautifully conformed little pony, with a good looking pace (especially for the first time out). And that was quite the horsey traffic jam at the road intersection.....

[@Tara101]

😁

[@janetbell4985]

farouk is so fast he really enjoys galloping and cantering , good job your fit Tara.

[@800ST-moto]

Wow! He's a freight train!! 🚂☺

[@bonnielol4127]

Honestly my favourite equestrian channel

[@i.u.h.9912]

Farouk enjoys these rides

[@sarahbaker3342]

Farouk loves these long rides. I think that Bella will be a good event horse too with her forward going attitude too. You gave some beautiful areas to ride through. I envy you. I really enjoy the areas where you have bridle paths.

[@brendabarker524]

Another great video Tara both you and Farouk enjoying the ride and a quick chat with friends on the way🐎🐎🐎

[@lindasimons691]

Little black horse was very pretty. Not being a horse person, I wonder if different sized horses have differing human weight limits?

[@allisondutton8892]

Yes they do I cant remember the ratio though :)

[@ellietyrer]

I wondered if the rider was a bit too heavy🤷

[@lindahughes4018]

Yes . I thought that as well . She seemed too heavy for him.

[@karenfindley939]

He sure can fly. Beautiful Farouk.

[@rstom1199]

He loves to run, must be his heritage ❤

[@Tara101]

👍

[@susanmills8455]

Thanks for another great video ! Take Care. God Bless, Susan

[@marshaworkman2764]

Bless her heart, the lady on the black horse had her hands full! Been there,done that! Farouk seems to be looking for grass and fields so he can GO!😆 What lovely places you have to ride!! We live in the mountains and ease along until we get to a level spot. Riding gaited horses, so we don’t canter much but they can cover the ground in their 3rd speed. Walk, trail gait,and then rode gait is how I think of them. Some fox trot,some rack, some running walk. How nice that the lady recognized you and Farouk!!❤

[@Tara101]

tfs ♥️

[@annetteheat9854]

Awesome Tara👏thanks for taking us along. I have to have my horsey lol.🐎

[@NJHeart2Heart]

Boy Farouk really loves speed! :)

[@Tara101]

👍

[@amyharrell251]

Ah sweet endurance ride. He looks very strong

[@karenlugg1386]

Love Farouk is so alert and enjoying looking all round, ears pricked forward with the occasional swivel, I can imagine that you are both easily recognisable and if it were me I’d be thrilled to see you out and about, or on Apollo for that matter.

[@Tara101]

♥️

[@wendytaylor4030]

[@mkskupa]

Seemed like a lovely group. What a nice ride! Farouk is doing so well in these group rides, whether fun or endurance. He’s just happy to be out with you.

[@Tara101]

😊

[@griffinartandairbrushing3174]

What beautiful paths to ride on! Farouk, is a wonderful horse. :0)

[@mk6945]

Such a joy to go on another wonderful ride with Farouk and you. Thank you!

[@Witchy_Woman]

I love this area, lots of pretty stone walls and scenery. That other horse did do well on his first group ride. Farouk checking everything out. He gets so into these rides and seems to really enjoy himself.

[@leslieberwick7315]

Lovely ride

[@zapperwmnrn7619]

Do you ever worry about possible holes in the ground when you canter him? He’s just so fast! Love your video’s 😊

[@Tara101]

always looking at the ground in front😊

[@pattycoe7435]

I know you don’t let him Gallup a lot but when he does he seems to just love it.

[@Tara101]

[@lindahughes4018]

The person on the little black horse seemed too big for him.

[@pakejeffje6238]

Hello Tara...Can you or any of your equine knowledgeable fans tell me...Is the black horse considered a pony according to size?

[@Tara101]

It is

[@madelineevans128]

Hi Tara, I'm still loving this area and will be researching it on Google! The little black pony/ horse was cute but I would have been nervous riding it on a road as he seemed to be dancing around a bit out of control. Perhaps the rider was very experienced and knew what she was doing. Do you enjoy being recognized ( or your horses recognized) or do you feel embarrassed? I hate myself in pictures and videos so I am very camera shy. Keep enjoying the ride.

[@Tara101]

I don't mind be recognised. I have got a KZbin channel!

[@karenlugg1386]

And let’s face it, if anyone got too close or pesky one word to Farouk and you’d leave them standing.

[@laurahill4857]

😃🥕

[@upholuphol5812]

Is that canter as fast as it .looks?

[@Tara101]

yes😊

[@CowgirlChic123]

What kind of helmet camera do you use?

[@Tara101]

Ordro EP7

[@tonibunch2380]

How fast would you say he can run full speed?

[@Tara101]

very fast, he must be almost as fast as a TB race horse

[@tonibunch2380]

You are such a lucky lady

[@beverlycole4836]

What does backed mean? I'm not a horse person.
