I enjoyed your video on Mathilde and her mutter. I have been watching England's coronation and there were many videos on the Household Horse Guards of the King. Several times the horses of the Horse Guards became independent, and threw their riders off or went running away on their own accord. Often the rider (Royal Horse Guard) could not regain control. I realized that horses are quite independent. They do not just blindly obey their riders. When horses decide to do something on their own humans are too small to be able to control them. Domesticated horses and other equine animals have been doing the heavy lifting for us humans. Without their muscle power we could not have created civilization. Thank you for showing us your beautiful farm in the Nederland and your wonderful animals. I know the Nederland is a relatively small country and land is a scarce resource. It is good to see that farms like yours are still working. Can you plant, grow, and harvest crops from February to October? I am assuming it is too cold and cloudy to farm from November through end of January in Nederland. Is that true?
