Risey is wearing a blanket for the first time. Grooming and hoof picking. | Friesian Horses

Will this be okay?
‪@FriesianHorses‬
Welcome to my Friesian Horses channel.
My name is Yvonne. I create and post videos about my daily life with Friesian Horses. I will show you the true Friesian Horse and what they are like: day to day care, training, riding dressage and the very special birthing of foals. I explain the facts about breeding Friesian Horses and the steps I take to help better the breed.
You will learn that Friesian Horses have a naturally high gait, whether or not they can jump, if they are good for beginners and what they eat.
You will see them running, trotting, playing and even fighting.
I show you every aspect of my life with horses; the beautiful and the not so pretty. What you see in my videos is real!
Did you know that the Friesian Horse originates from Holland, specifically Friesland? That is where I live! I hope Friesian Horses will be love at first sight for you.

what a treat, a whole video with Risey. He is the most loved horse in the world. He is so smart and gorgeous!

[@greghammer5321]

she has to be so careful risey does not panic and fall

[@serenalloyd7295]

Well done @greghammer5321. I've been reading through the comments very much hoping for people to acknowledge the very real risk involved in caring for Risey. The vast majority of comments just keep repeating how beautiful, sweet and loved he is... I find myself worrying (not for the first time) about the pressure all this adoration could be putting on Yvonne

[@greghammer5321]

@@serenalloyd7295 I think yvonne is the most knowledgeable horse person I have ever met. I have seen first hand how she makes decisions. she has an inner circle of equine experts. she will do what is best for rising star and protect him(and herself) from injury as well as anyone possibly can. she can "read a horse" extremely well. hope this answer helps. he is a very happy horse. I call it "aura". the aura at stal h is very peaceful, loving, and kind. it is reflected in his nature and the nature of all her horses. I have been in stables where the horses are not calm etc due to the nature of the stable. my stable had a very calm loving atmosphere and again the horses nature and behavior reflected that.

[@serenalloyd7295]

@greghammer5321 thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to reassure me in such detail, your answer really has helped. Wonderful compliments re Yvonne and the atmosphere in Stal H from someone as knowledgeable and experienced as you are. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said, they are the reasons I love this channel too, and it made me very happy to think of all the support Yvonne has from the inner circle of experts you mentioned as well as her obviously outstanding understanding of equine body language. Yvonne is a true star and from now on I will just trust and carry on enjoying as I have been since I first saw a breathtaking video of her and Uniek leading young horses from one pasture to another so many years ago...

The most handsome Red Prince in all of the Netherlands 🇳🇱 is thoroughly enjoying his one on one pamper session though he’s a little nervous especially about his legs which is completely understandable,the trust he has for Yvonne is deep and that goes a long way towards desensitizing him. He lowers his head at one point licking his lips slightly and chewing all signs of an equine “release” that he’s relaxing,even lifting his feet for a couple seconds is a big improvement from before when he couldn’t/didn’t want them touched,awesome teamwork and so proud of you two.🧡🤗🔥🌟🐎👏🏻

He had his ears forward while Yvonne left, so he knew he wasn't in trouble.

[@madalynbelzowski6884]

In showing pedigree collies we stand them square on all 4 feet and then you can feel the body for muscle and skin fit. I would do that to Risey just to help him balance before picking up a back foot.😊

[@MemphisOne44]

@@madalynbelzowski6884 I think that is what she was doing with Risey, balancing him on all four feet before picking one up.

[@darn4285]

He looks so preppy with the blanket, a true prince. He initially does not like most things but he liked the blanket faster than expected or at least did not react in an exuberant way if he did not like it. Always fun to see how much of a character contrast he is to the Friesians. You can tell he is a disciplined but has a mind of his own.

He has already been showing for some days that he knows to lift his foot when she reaches for his leg he's a very smart boy

[@logirl1975]

This was my thought exactly. All the time Yvonne has spent working with him from the first day he came to Stahl G is really paying off now in the trust he has in her and the things she asks of him. Now it’s a matter of learning how to do things with his particular challenges. And I think they’re both doing wonderfully in that regard.

[@linda7726]

Yes he will! The healing body of animals and humans is miraculous!

[@girlinvt]

You are doing amazing with Risey. He looks good and his coat shines with your loving care. He trys so hard for you. He definitely understands that good effort and behavior gets him treats and pets. He's young and strong and so full of energy and spirit coupled with his wobblers. Making for a dangerous mix. You are so very, very careful with him, and he makes progress at his own pace. He did amazing with the blanket, especially with the dangling straps and the jingling buckles. With you, he has trust and he has come so very far because of you.

[@lisajoyaslanis]

In total agreement!

[@maureenoconnell2413]

What we saw here was a patient, loving, supportive, knowledgeable horse woman at work. Teaching a horse who is fearful, that there was nothing to be fearful about, but it required her persistence, patience and love. And Risey responded beautifully. Well done Yvonne.🎉

What a wonderful video of Risey ❤

[@bastianstoll]

The fact that Risey can kick very quickly is not without its risks, but it also means that despite his illness he is able to quickly find his balance on less than four legs. I think he will continue to improve in terms of his balance once he has learned Yvonne's signals to lift his legs. At the moment he still needs a little time to understand the signals.

[@galerandall8773]

I truly enjoyed watching this Risey Training Video! I really hope that Yvonne will share more of these! I have been REALLY curious about HOW the horses are trained to do the little things. I've seen the videos that Yvonne has posted where the Foals learn how to be patient when they are tied up, and the young horses learn how to get lounged, plus the ones where the Friesians are sent to Okkema to learn riding and driving. There are so many other things that horses must learn though. Lifting the legs for hoof maintenance is definitely one of them. Seeing how much patience and practice it took to accomplish such a small thing was really interesting to me. Risey seems to be very attentive and alert. He did a great job of following Yvonne's lead. You can tell that he is a well-bred horse, indeed. More. More. More. Please. 👁💙Friesian 🐎🐎🐎!

I think Risey had more issues with trying to avoid hurting Yvonne than anything else. He caught on quickly and was very happy with all the treats. As soon as Yvonne puts her hands on his leg he starts to lift. He sniffs the blanket and then licks it. Keep the pellets coming and I will do anything.

When he lays down in his stall, will he stay laying down for you or does he feel the need to get up? Maybe you could encourage him to stay down and then you could inspect, pick and clean his hooves then?

That might be the best idea for everyone...less danger for Yvonne, and less stress for Rising Star, who is very aware of his own problem, and has done an incredible job of compensating for the major problem, his rear left leg...he seems alot happier then when he first arrived, which is understandable...his body suddenly wasn't the same, he lost his two buddies, and he was moved...very upsetting...🤔

[@treschats7567]

I think he continues to improve. Risey balancing on 3 legs is another milestone in his recovery. Soon, the vet may release him to work on the lunge line. I think he will continue to do better as he develops his top line and strength as he creates muscles and muscle memory.

[@louiseregan2498]

I totally agree with you! The older woman who did one of the first adjustments on Risey improved his condition remarkably. As time goes bye, he has improved remarkably well. My hats off to Yvonne for giving him this time, but she like Risey is using time to get better herself from her accident. Their stories are in sync and Yvonne understands that fact.
