Farouk has a lovely new owner and new herd friends

[@lindakinder929]

I'm sorry to say that I feel sad and disappointed for Farouk that he has to go, and I can't help feeling that Bella has taken his place. I sincerely hope he is fortunate to find another home as good as he has had with you. Circumstances change, I appreciate that, but I can't help feeling sorry for Farouk. 😢

[@ustentpeggingassociation8593]

I am interested in Farouk

[@feliciagaffney1998]

​@@ustentpeggingassociation8593 there's a link in the description

[@mobstercrow7515]

She doesn't have the time or energy to ride all 3 horses. A high energy horse needs a high energy person. It would be neglect if she kept him. She's getting older and horse riding takes a large toll on your body, she can't ride all day. Farouk deserves an owner with the time, strength, compassion, love, and energy for him. It's sad, but it's best for him. I had to rehome my first dog because he was such high energy. He was home alone when I was at school and my father was at work, he was always sad and started to destroy our house. We ended up using a doggie door so he could go inside and outside but sadly.. He started to dig under the fence. He escaped 7 times so we had to pour concrete under the fence. He still found a way to escape. We decided to find him a new home so he could live the life he deserved. His name was Youko and he was a Schipperke. We rehomed him to two old ladies that found him and brought him back to us. They had 2 Schipperkees and they lived in a large house with land. I'm sure he lived a good life (this was about 14 years ago). All animals deserve the best life possible. If their owner can't provide that, then they need to rehome their pet.

[@Mahmah476]

Farouk is my favorite of your horses. I pray his new owner is loving, caring, and showers him with attention and adoration, and also, that Farouk loves his new owner as well. I will miss you, Farouk.

[@jessicataylor3180]

I know you will find him a good home and the right human to ride and fuss over him, who'll appreciate what a lovely horse Farouk is and finally, benefit from the excellent job you've done teaching him to be a spirited but smart partner. x ✨💛

[@sevenwatson5854]

Oh dear, whilst I understand how you've come to this decision, I'll miss him dearly 😢

[@melindaharrington7588]

Special Faroukie. My favourite horse of yours. And the most talented, reliable, and giving, between the 3 of them. This Channel, just won't be the same without him 🥺 💔

[@melodyfeddeler6434]

I so agree....a part of me feels Bella has replaced him....my heart is broken as I watch for Farouk and Apollo!

[@melindaharrington7588]

@melodyfeddeler6434 Hi Melody 🙂 👋 Thanks for your comment, and sorry I didn't see it at the time. Only saw it now, because of the latest comment here. At the beginning of me watching this Channel, Apollo started off as my favourite horse. But as I got to watch, Faroukie's training and ageing, he became my favourite horse. He has been so mature, and settled these last couple of year's. And much more confident, because of his training and him trusting his only rider, Tara. I hope Farouk, isn't fretting too much. He would likely be unsettled, because his familiarity of being with Apollo (Especially so) / Bella, and Tara / Rens / and even Gary, are not in his life anymore. He isn't my horse. But over time I grew to respect, admire, care about him, and love him, I guess. I am really sad, to see him go. But I am also grateful, for having his company for several year's. I don't think, we are ever going to see him again. As the new owner, wants to be anonymous. I was hoping that whomever the new owner was, that they may consider starting a Faroukie Channel. As I would have followed his Channel, as well.

[@kmmk4159]

I have to admit that it feels to me like Bella has replaced Farouk.😢 It was more than good for Bella to come to you and I am happy to follow her progress. But I'm also so sorry for Farouk. He is sensitive and certainly needs a nice person he can trust. I hope you will find that person for him. It was clear that three horses would become too many some day None of us are getting younger.😔 Farouk probably has the most need of exercise of the three and I can understand the decision. I really hope that Farouk finds his second heartfelt person ❤

[@frenzyviz6296]

I feel the same. Very sad.

[@mkjackson55]

Your video has made me cry, sorrow to let a loved one go away, but honored to know that it is being done for all the right reasons and that you are so kind and loving towards him and his future.

[@ToLoveTruth]

Not gonna lie…this makes me so so sad. Farouk is such a precious soul…he will be hugely missed on this channel. Tough decision Tara…but more than understandable. You’ve done such amazing work with him…he’s a credit to you, your love and your patience. I’m hoping you find the very best home possible for this darling boy. 😢❤️🙏

Sad but not unexpected. You and Rens are both very active but, age (gravity) gets us all. Farouk with his endurance can do so much still. He is still a pretty young chap. Good Luck and hope he finds a great home.

Its really sad to think that beautiful Farouk will miss you both dreadfully, as you will of course miss him; I hope that he will readily adapt to new ownership & continue being happy & healthy as he is with you Tara.

[@brendabarker524]

Ageing sucks and the thought of saying goodbye to Farouk is heart breaking for you, Rens and the herd. I know you will all miss him very much when he goes. Your viewers will certainly miss him but hope we get updates on his next adventure in life. As for me who’s watched for several years I will remember all those special times such as when he flew off down the road, over came that noisy bridge to walk over, showing another horse how to go through the water bravely. His enjoyment for life, riding out, speed and endurance and heart attack hill and heart attack mountain. Not to forget all his awards for endurance. He holds a special place in all our hearts ❤❤❤🐎🐎🐎

[@ren-uz2mz]

I'm actually crying more over the comments than the decision to find Farouk a new BFF... We will miss him and I also hope he goes to someone who is very generous with videos and news of his progress....

[@viewling]

I'm so sad. I have an Arabian (14), and an old warmblood myself. I'm 66, and I know that Arabians demand a huge lot of exercise and attention, more thank I can give at my age. I also think of parting - not with the old warmblood - but with the wonderful Arabian. So I understand. But I'm sad, too.

[@jodyhuston1516]

I really thought several months ago that this would happen. You have been so very pleased with Bella and her progress, and that she is a "forward-going" horse as you prefer. She seems to be deeply entrenched in your heart. Farouk is my favorite horse, but I can certainly understand the reasons and difficulty in making this decision and I totally trust that you will not let him go to anyone but the right person.

I agree with you completely. The whole herd of Fresians going to Canada has saddened me. I too watched the journey for them. It broke my heart. I do hope that Farouk gets a great home with a lovely lady in the UK. 🙏🙏🍀

[@Katseye102]

I also was deeply saddened by the Friesians being sold, I understood why they had to do it, but I also had watched a few of the mares grow up in those fields. Maybe one day we will see some of them again. Jacobien being one of my favorites. Now with these three, Farouk was so spunky when he was first brought to your place. He has grown into a gorgeous well mannered lad….❤️❤️ you have done well with him. ❤️ things change, they always do, and we hate to do it, but sometimes it’s necessary. He will have a great new friend, I hope we will be able to see him again. Take care Tara. I understand about getting older and wanting to slow down a bit, I’m 70, still can’t believe that! 🤣

[@ruthbickerstaffe1915]

@@lizroberts1569 No not Yvonne's horses. She has her mares and Rising Star at her own Stables now, Stall H. But I am pretty sure it was 10 mares of Rein's at Stall G. A couple were too close to foaling, so they will be going on in the next few months. I do not know where they came to in Canada, but we saw photos of the location and its very beautiful but there was snow on the ground. I live in Ontario, Canada and have been asking if anyone knows which Stable they have gone to. Of course, its a big Country here and there are Fresian Stables from Ontario right to the West Coast of British Columbia.

So many things about Farouk remind me of my last little horse Mischief (not full arab). I would love to be able to offer him a home on my own land here in Italy. In case you're wondering, I'm British from Derbyshire. Unfortunately I live alone, have to work and need to re-fence and repair my stable, which will take time 😟. Dear Farouk is used to everything being perfect. It breaks my heart the thought of not seeing him and he's not even mine 😢. I can't imagine how difficult this decision was for you.

Tara, I know this isn’t a decision you’ve taken lightly, and my heart hurts for you Rens and Farouk… however… Farouk has potential to be a world class endurance horse with the right rider that can dedicate the time to put into his training, and a superb Crewing Team… which it’s currently unfair on Rens to be hanging around hours on his own at crew points , lugging water long distances etc… it’s a big ask. I am trying from my end to put in touch with top competitive riders, and pray that he stays in the uk, and excels in Endurance.

[@aminaahmed6541]

Good luck for finding a new home for Farouk

[@newman4878]

Thoughts and prays as you find Farouk a new adventure. Will miss him!❤️

[@noradusseault5898]

I am sure you will make sure he goes to a good home. All my best wishes to this wonderful kind spooky horse.

[@Tara101]

Yes, thank you

I’m sad luv stunning Farouk he’ll miss Apollo too I do pray his new owners will love him and treat him well as do 🙏😭💔

I would take Farouk in a heartbeat, but I have two horses already and I live abroad. Both are Arabians, one is Farouk's cousin (they share the same grandsire). She is a bay mare and looks just like Farouk, we love her dearly and she is so loyal and takes care of me in the saddle. You can't go wrong with Marwan al Shaqab's bloodline - He passes on his intelligence, beauty and temperament to his babies and grandbabies. Someone is going to be very lucky to have a horse like Farouk!

He will be so missed by you and everyone who watches your channel. Hope he finds and equally kind caring loving home like yours. Perhaps the new owners could carry on his story. Love him❤

I would love for him to go to Free Spirit in Michigan, but she's got a ton of new horses just now.

[@keltigs]

Gosh if I didn’t have my lad I’d love him. But my current bff would be very upset to have another to compete for my attention. I hope he gets a home that treats him as well as you have. X

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

It has got to be a top class home as he does not know any better.....xxxx

It's true- Farouk has a fan club! I wish I could take him. 😍😍❤❤❤

People who own horses will understand this much easier then people who do not own horses. They are so wonderful but they need a lot of time. I think this is a very brave and thoughtful decision. Think about what he might have ahead of him. Be excited for this magical horse. This was a very tough decision for Tara and Reins I’m certain. Bless Farouk I know you will find him a great situation. ❤️

Dear Tara 🤩 and Rens 😁 I'm so sorry to hear this 🥺 because I love Farouk 🐎! He is such a gentle soul 💞 and so talented! But I think you are making the best decision 👍 for Farouk and your horses. I'm praying 🙏 for the right home!

[@ladylibertywdc8324]

Belated greetings. Busy across the pond, too. You both have given Farouk a great home so far. He is one gorgeous hunk of horseflesh! Hoping you have found or will find him a new home soon. Best to you all!🎉

Tara, you and I are the same age and I hear you. We must all slow down sometime. I understand the decision you and Rens have made. I will miss Farouk so much. 😢 I look forward to see and hear of his new home. ❤❤🐎🐎
