Love the three hanging over the fence looking at the spectacle going on next door!!!

[@sherrywyllie2163]

I had a little 14.2 hand Arab mare. When we put her out with a dozen warm blood horses I was surprised to see her as lead mare. When she would pin her ears back the whole herd split like the red sea to let her walk to the gate! Quite funny!

[@Tara101]

Thank you for sharing

[@valerieothenin-girard9226]

I rewatched this video just to observe the neighbouring horses itching to see a fight once they got wind of what was happening. They shadowed the two horses along the fence and when a shrub blocked their view, they craned their necks or lowered their heads to peer under the hedge. That’s so human-like.

[@Tara101]

very well observed 👍

[@barbstrona1]

The three neighboring horses are thrilled with the day’s entertainment. They have always enjoyed a bit of a show!

[@ruthgoebel723]

I think Farouk just found out what happens when you kick the boss in the arse! Fine entertainment for the crew on the other side of the fence too..🤣🤣

[@Tara101]

😂

[@Charoula1608]

The horses on the other side of the fence look like a group of girls gossiping. "Ew, look at those guys. Is he seriously wearing purple?"

[@weavrmom]

Love watching horse audience in the adjoining field following the action like it's a movie.

[@elizabethjasso-vargas9955]

I like the big horse with the white streak on the face. That keeps peeking over the bushes. He looks like Mr Wilson from home improvement....hidy ho tim.😁

Love how the other horse peeps over the hedge to watch how this all plays out. Haha

[@peacefulsocialjustice9270]

People need to stop wagging on about blankets, rugs, halters...what to do, what not to do...yikes. The owners obviously know their horses. In Kentucky, breeds are treated differently, yet the same. You’d be hard pressed to find a thoroughbred without protection most of the time (we’re talking worth $$$$$$$), but do have freedom. I’ve seen soooo many “ways” of care. These horses look tremendously happy.

[@creaturebeechx]

Peacefully Social Justice They don't though, that's just a massive over exaggeration. The blankets and halters are just ridiculous and, believe it or not, unnecessary. Halters on in the pasture like that have a long history of getting horses killed by getting caught and causing the horses to basically hang themselves. Not worth it, I don't trust people who ignore that for the sake of something so obnoxious and pathetic.

[@SillyRamen]

Hannah Smith, calm down, they were there watching them so if something went wrong they could act immediately

[@adreethomas2844]

I love seeing Horse behavior with the added luxury of having it explained. I think Apollo is gorgeous I'm glad he is still the boss. I could do without all the grandstanding of everyone in the comments saying the blankets are bad or whatever is 'wrong'. Everyone wants to be the horse expert when it comes to horses.... reminds me of the horses.

[@Tara101]

Great comments. Thank for taking the time to write in.

[@TheHorsehouse99]

Is the friesian more dominant? I beg to differ...the arab is the one moving the friesian around, not the other way.

[@Tara101]

Apollo is the boss and Farouk does move away from him and is careful not to step out of line. Maybe you don't see that in this clip as it is only a few minutes.

[@Inkdraft]

The other horses are all going, "Fight, fight, fight!"

[@Andykingston12]

May I just say, your horses are absolutely beautiful in both appearance and movement. You should be very proud Tara. I also completely understand the reason for the rugs too and firmly believe people should learn if they have nothing nice to say, then they should not say it at all.

[@Tara101]

I think most horse owns understand how improtant rugs can be.

[@Andykingston12]

Tara I couldn't agree with you more 😁

[@ruthsmith2447]

there's actually a lot of research regarding the negative impact on the health of the animal when rugs are put on unnecessarily...so you are correct, people DO need to learn more...

[@pj8143]

The three horses in the other field looking 👀 why are they fighting, why can’t they be like 😎us? We wanted to be friends & they are not interested . It’s getting boring watching our neighbours fight let us move on. Our neighbours are very feisty.☺️ Least now Farouk & Apollo have sorted whose boss & are best friends even with Bella. APOLLO IS BOSS & IN CHARGE.🥰

Hahaha the bravado! Quickly sorted and hierarchy is important. Loved the faces of the other horses clearly enjoying the days entertainment. What’s with all the daft comments about rugs?! Weird that’s what some people have chosen to comment on! I understand if people ask about potential injuries etc if you’re not horsey and don’t understand horse communication and body language it does look scary (and accidents do happen.....but this lady knows her horses well) but to focus on the rugs is funny!

[@sherrillsmith8380]

Hi, Tara. After I watched today's lovely ride that you and Farouk shared with us (and his great adventure heading under the trees), then this wonderful video came up on the sidebar. What a pleasure to enjoy it once again. They were such beautiful boys then, as now, and what a kick (excuse the pun!) to watch them being frisky in the field. I remember thinking last November that Farouk was biting off a lot more than his weight could bear each time he pushed Apollo. Naturally, it was a laugh to see his expression what Apollo pushed back: "What? Whyyyy?!! What DID I do?!!" Ms. Innocent! He has such an expressive face and eyes. It is so typical in any society of life for the younger ones to take on their elders and to believe that all their youthful vinegar will carry the day. It's more of a chuckle now, thinking of how Apollo calls "Welcome Back" every time his stablemate returns. Two questions for you: Does the pasture between your home and the ménage belong to you (I've wondered if you raise sheep also)? Are Apollo and Farouk your own horses or are you training them for others? I've wondered because we can become very fond of the animals we see in the videos and I'd love to watch you with them for years to come. Thanks! : )

[@Tara101]

No the fields around our home belong to someone else, our paddock is a 10 min box ride away. I don't train horses for other people just myself. I don't intend to sell either horse but that might change one day. I am looking to buy a foal to bring on as I have never had a foal.
