Classy’s First Trail Ride!

[@caroline9268]

I am in conflicted 7th heaven as I sit in my home watching my idea of bliss unroll before my eyes. I have spent my life dreaming about a place where I can not hear any man-made noises and fields with beautiful horses running through the pastures and getting to experience the joy of riding through the dappled woodlands. I rode a little, briefly when I was younger but am now disabled, housebound and blessed every day with loving family and God's wealth of beauty around me. I just wanted to thank you, so very much for allowing us to share, all be it vicariously, in your beautiful home. It allows me to feel the warm sun on my face and hear the creak of the leather and the birds and insects going about their business. You and your family's calm loving gentleness is a balm to all who have heart and eyes to see. God's radiance shines brightly on your home as you cherish his animals and share your gentle wisdom with others. Thank you for allowing us to keep you company. ❤

[@teresawalters1070]

Can’t say it better!

[@selenaflaming7381]

Oh my goodness what a beautiful kind comet brought me to tears because every word was the truth I am also disabled and homebound I have a lot of mental issues I have PTSD bipolar panic and anxiety and I have other chronic illnesses and I watch a lot of videos in this family does it is called gentle they love their animals all of them that's why I love watching their videos they are in my top three this man has a gentle kind soul and a way of whispering to the horses that they connect with him his daughter is amazing and has learned a lot from her parents her mother is gentle and kind and loving and has a soft voice so yes your comment touched my heart and brought me to tears because I feel everything you said thank you for your reply and your comment it was beautiful you should write a book your words are kind and gentle to and soothing and I could totally feel and understand what you were saying God bless you you seem to be an amazing person❤❤❤

[@maryanngross7225]

Love going on the virtual trail rides! Classy is an awesome young horse! Anyone that has seen your videos should be able to see how much you love your animals & know that you would never hurt them!!!

[@virginiaspeciale8641]

Classy should be in a beauty pageant she’s so gorgeous!

[@DebraConner-y9x]

Since I can no longer ride myself, I really enjoy these virtual rides. It reminds me of trail riding myself. Thank you very much!!!❤❤❤😊

[@ericaknesek3266]

When I lived in upstate New York, my husband and I were caretakers for an estate. They had different gated horses different breed a person that was my neighbor. She had a Missouri Foxtrotter and I was so impressed with that horse because we would go on trail rides up and down a mountain type trail you do not see many Missouri Foxtrotter’s in New York.

[@robindelude3787]

Taking care of your property, raising your children, caring for & training animals, maintaining a multitude of equipment. You all work so hard. You’re rewarded with beautiful horses to ride through that amazing scenery! And let’s not forget the sound of squeaky saddles! Can you tell I am envious? Love this video! Classy is going to be an excellent trail horse. ❤❤

[@Truthwinz]

I rode horses all my life but I’ve learned that riding helmets save lives as we have learned seat belts do. Your family needs you JR & you can get used to it. I remember as a kid bouncing around in the back of a car and the seat belts were just decorative and bike helmets didn’t exist. We’ve learned since then…. I know you know your horses but you know it’s possible for the unexpected to happen also….🙏

[@emman6941]

You are so right. A horse is a living creature that can spook, just like unexpected things can make us jump, regardless of how quiet they might be. You only get one head, so look after it!

[@patriciahamby996]

She is a sweetheart and Beautiful Horse 🐎 ❤️ 💕 😍 💖 ♥️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@patriciahamby996]

You're welcome 😊

[@pixie706]

Classy is not only beautiful but has a super temperaent. She did really well. I am always aware that first few rides can give them a tender back because of extra friction. Lovely young mare..

[@LochlanEden-ug7lu]

So proud of classy she has come such a long way since her first training session

[@DonnaTrumbull]

just had a notice roo died!what happened????

[@nockreel1190]

She's the prettiest horse you have.

[@giotablet0156]

i love the way you let classy lead , so many times people dont allow a new horse to become independent and self -reliant .

[@MW-nr3lg]

I love that you show the horse's face in shots. The reactions from the ears and emotions displaying all her thoughts to the different things you put Classy thru. She's an amazing horse!

[@thepamela050]

Classy just seems like a good all around horse, easy going and she looked to have trained easily..

[@gaildevaney6074]

I like the trail ride videos because a) I can hear you clearly while you share your experience - no matter how small the detail - and b) it's content that is good for my mind and heart. Even just watching the dogs run free alongside you. Yours should be called Lucky Homestead because that is what every living creature on it is.

[@aquamarine5180]

Yes, content that is good for the mind and heart!

[@marionlammers2135]

Loved to see Classy on her first trailride

[@galloping3265]

I had grandparents who were "down home" like you guys. I get to revisit that simpler time bc of you! Thanks!❤

[@charlene-zw]

i like that the horses can choose to grab a drink from delicious clear water creeks …. 🥰🐴👍

[@AnnFavor-vk8bw]

I loved April, but Classy is my favorite. Sweet, beautiful and super gentle.

[@joannahatton99]

Classy as a favorite is right up there with Oliver and Natty. It's also great to watch the Palomino babies grow and play in the fields. Classy is truly a class act! ❤❤ When ever you have shown the horses in the field I always look for Classy. She will be missed but someone is getting a beautiful, smart, gentle, and well trained horse. I'm an old lady now but still wish it was me getting her! Love your channel, your family, and your horses. ❤❤

[@AnnFavor-vk8bw]

@@joannahatton99 I’m right there with you! If I had the place for her I’d be looking to own her. She is maybe the most beautiful horse I’ve seen. I likewise am too old to own her.

[@marycoker99]

Classy is so beautiful, and she did wonderful on her first trail ride. 👏👏 🥰

[@lorrieshigley3625]

Hi JR and your Wonderful Family ❣️I absolutely love your trail rides 🙏🏻. Currently I am unable to ride due to health issues so going out with you guys is SO WONDERFUL! I love your training tips and insights !!! It’s truly wonderful for my soul and I Am just so grateful to go riding with you guys! Thank you!🙏🏻 God Bless you all.

[@charlene-zw]

Very very Impressive!!! 🐴❤️ ( am a trail rider… so i know ) Amazing girl Classy !!! 🐴👍🥰

[@pinkywilliams8063]

I always enjoy a good trail ride video.

[@sherylbartlett3871]

Thank you JR for a nice, First Trail Ride with the beautiful Classy! ❤😊 She did Sooooooo Goooood! ❤. God bless the Rosa family and all of the "Critters' too! ❤😊

[@stardust949]

That drop off on the left makes me nervous! lol! Classy-----one of my all time FAVES.

[@Didi.creation]

Trail ride video's are one of my favourite ❤ so yes more please, thank you👍🏻

[@Sharon-Carrell]

Classy is a Great horse!! Thanks for this virtual ride!! I So Enjoyed it!!

[@costrio]

I like the swimming videos a lot. To see how the horses react to water is fun. I like it when they splaah the surface with their front hoofs.

[@kristyeckhardt4004]

Yes please more trail riding.

[@adrienneandrews205]

Classy is just one of the most beautiful horses I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing these training sessions. I LOVE the virtual trailwalks!!!!

[@railwaychristina3192]

What a pretty mare

[@gailmcphail8057]

Love the sound of a creaking saddle.

[@highroad3580]

Good girl, Classy! She is one of my favorites of your herd. Looking forward to more nice trail rides!

[@debraking6341]

I really liked this video. Please show more like this one. ❤

[@ShainCaldwell]

I love how she is listening to everything. Staying alert to what's going on around her.

[@beverleybland392]

Awww, bless her, well done.❤

[@SAS-cn1og]

It's a good horse. I learned a lot about working with a horse. Thank you, Junior and Emory

[@ericaknesek3266]

What a good girl, and such a beautiful horse ! you guys do a great job, breaking your horses you take your time and your patient and they absolutely trust you guys.🥰🐴

[@Ptopp723]

Good morning! It is one beautiful Sunday morning here in Southern Ontario. Enjoy your day

[@costrio]

I enjoyed the guitar music during the ride. Very nice piece and fit the mood of the video, IMO.

[@gileshanover4986]

She is doing great. I love watching you and your family work these horses. This video is like being on the trail with you. Fun.

[@pamelapati1219]

I hope that you see this. Please make a tribute vid for Roo, like her birth to running in the field. Thank you

[@DebraRice-y6b]

Great job, Classy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@teresawalters1070]

As a little girl, I watched my momma get on a horse and it took off running momma fell off in the manure pile 😂😂. But I was always afraid to ride. So Thank you for the virtual ride!

[@missg300]

Classy is such a great little horse.just takes everything in her gaited stride and please please give us more trail ride videos.love looking at the stunning scenery that yous have 👌

[@marlinmore]

Classy is a gorgeous horse. I’m a TWH person, but the personalities are similar. Classy is making me a believer.

[@luckyrobinshomestead]

I sure love Classy's coloring. She's shaping up to be one heck of a horse.

[@jaykay46]

I feel like I've been riding a horse,love the scenery & keep the video's coming.😊

[@memeh1290]

Your videos bri g back memories of my youth. Riding and the dogs running free. Enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Now I live in the city

[@jennikane6815]

Classy really is something else, what a smart, calm horse ❤ I do miss Olivia, though, she was a beauty

[@sarahbates3818]

That’s great.. We can all learn so much from you. I am registered blind and had a fantastic pony called Oscar years ago. We knew what the other was thinking - he was very very special. He passed away in 2005 and I still miss him loads. I live in Staffordshire England and don’t ride any more as care for my a mum. Love your channel. Thanks so much for sharing ❤

[@christinematton4125]

Classy is beautiful ❤

[@charlene-zw]

JR hinted….. Maybe.. Classy is headed to Scotland (???) 🐴 Classy’s future owner Sure Is Lucky !!!! 😍🐴😍👍 Glad I am subscribed so I can find out what happens next !!!! ❤Classy❤️ 🐴

[@sarahgirth9113]

Thank you all for sharing your life's adventures in horse training and daily life. I wish I was there to ride with you 😊but I do through the videos.

[@ToniMoore-yy6vl]

Classly did great on the trail because she has a good trainer! ❤

[@charlene-zw]

AGREED!!!! next life time, i want a Rosa Family trained horse !!! I envy all the future horse owners of these horses !!! 🥲👍🐴

[@marymacgregor6952]

Love the trail rides. Keep them coming.

[@carlaatkins2619]

Love watching you train the horses, JR. Becca has a natural ability to connect with horses. "Horse-possible"😊

[@patriciapatterson9156]

Classy is one of my favorites. I'm glad that she is going to a good home.

[@talknomo]

Trail Riding is my happy place. What a nice place to ride.

[@A_Brown4]

Classy is such a beautiful horse. I was hoping you would keep her as her babies would be exceptionally beautiful. Your friend will be very lucky to have her and hopefully he will send you videos of her from time to time so you can post them. She is my 2nd fav from your herd with Nattie being my top fav. And I love the trail rides, very peaceful with great scenery and also the feeling of actually riding the horse. I can't wait until you can take Nattie on trail rides.

[@cattsunn]

Classy is so beautiful. Nice to see a trail ride.

[@peskycitizen7582]

I love your channel, but JR should use a mounting block. With his size and weight, you can see at 1:48 how it pulls both of Classy’s left legs completely off the ground as he gets on. To both JR and Classy’s safety, please consider mounting from a block.

[@evershade.after.dark.]

I've had horses, but I'm not a horse expert. I suspect him mounting her as he does helps her develop the ability to brace her muscles. We use our muscles the same way when we carry or lift something with one arm. Bracing ourselves keeps us upright. I'm guessing that continuing to mount her as he does will encourage her to brace herself when a rider mounts and will help her develop the muscles used for bracing. 🧐🤔

[@Aqua_Metztli_Janus]

Classy did such a great job! 👏 ❤

[@tanyabrown9839]

So beautiful watching trainers who are in tune with the horse.

[@charlene-zw]

YES!!!! JR and family 👏 👍🐴

[@veronicasmith8373]

Love these trail ride videos and love watching Classy and Becca and Olivia, looks like fun ! You are a good teacher JR ! Can’t wait till next video love you guys and so glad you love God too ! ❤❤❤

[@user-sn8vm8yl1l]

Good horses come from great owners 😊 proud of you girly

[@lyngruen8607]

Such a pretty girl 🐎🐎🐎💖 Be safe and enjoy ... thanks for sharing 🐎💖 Texas Nana

[@joycenichols3481]

I like seeing trail rides!

[@lisagilbert8472]

I love the trail ride videos! Classy you did such a great job. JR I love your videos, because you talk to us and explain what you are doing with Classy, what you are feeling Ming when riding her and are just in tune with Classy. I know for me it makes me a better rider to know how and what to feel when riding. I am looking forward to more trial riding videos. One of my favorite video’s are the swimming videos with the horses!!

[@Kemblik_Art]

I love Classy's coat colors

[@DawnBlake-q7q]

My favor thing is trail riding

[@DebraConner-cx5mj]

Thanks for the virtual trail ride . I really enjoy it since I can't ride anymore myself.😊❤

[@bethmahoney2233]

Before finding your channel, I had never heard of the Missouri Foxtrotter. I’m fascinated with the breed now.

[@shy_pilgrim]

One thing about super tall horses, have lots of jeans or long pants because they will be prone to rip out as the rider begins to mount. Personal experience

[@shellyrobertson988]

just beautiful country and Fancy is amazing!! the way u treat your horses is amazing and hence their personality are a reflection of the beauty in their lives!

[@beckysanders2935]

Classy is a beautiful horse ❤❤❤

[@pick10tennisjacquelinebogg23]

I LOVE trail ride videos! I also think Classy is classy. :)

[@ericaknesek3266]

When I lived in upstate New York, my husband and I were caretakers for an estate. They had different gated horses different breed a person that was my neighbor. She had a Missouri Foxtrotter and I was so impressed with that horse because we would go on trail rides up and down a mountain type trail you do not see many Missouri Foxtrotter’s in New York?

[@SFL2539-zo6zd]

Got to love Missouri Foxtrotter. Classy is going to be a wonderful horse for a future owner. Enjoy watching Jr's and Becca's training method. I enjoyed the ride!

[@annieknight71]

I love the trail rides. I can not ride any more for health reasons. This is almost as good. Thank you.

[@lostribe5130]

Good horse and good owner! Well done.

[@annmaria608]

She is truly a class act. Good first trail ride for Classy and you and Becca to experience.

[@redbirdsfan8341]

Classy is beautiful!!

[@Jean06460]

I love the trail rides. You teach us a great deal about horsemanship. Thanks! I personally love the creek swimming videos and how much the horses like feeling weightless! ❤

[@BeeCJ]

This virtual view of a trail ride is Wonderful!!! Takes my right back to my youth. Please do more of these. Oh wow Classy was perfect! Great job in training and just overall how much care you put into raising your horses JR. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@diannethomas7944]

Love the trail riding videos.

[@DawnBlake-q7q]

See nice weather take them out on trail ride.

[@mimisheean3411]

I love the dogs running around! 😊

[@valsummers5330]

Nice to go on a virtual trail ride❤

[@judyeuller7602]

Classy is so beautiful. I love trail rides. I'd like to see a broader scenic perspective when you do them.

[@DawnBlake-q7q]

I like the trail rides

[@lindsaywalton3254]

Wow what an amazing horse and what a wonderful virtual ride. I like these videos as long as they are not too long. 😂 This was a perfect length ❤

[@Faelani38]

She did good. She is so pretty too.

[@CarnivoreStork]

Thanks! I enjoyed the virtual ride 😁

[@KristinaBenoit]

Love the trail rides! Classy looks comfortable and did such a great job on her first trail ride. Just a note, you may want to lower your gopro to chest level. Since you are so tall, JR, we can not see the views of the tail ahead when you have the gopro on your head.

[@lisahelm9016]

Becka is a natural, she has a perfect seat.

[@TheresaRathbone-v3y]

I enjoy this channel so much and learn something new every time I watch. Thank you for sharing!

[@nancyhague9353]

Keep up the trail video! Love it! JR, if I understood what you said, that means Classy is going to be shipped to Scotland? Congratulations Congratulations

[@beverleymeyer7899]

I love the trail ride videos....makes me feel like I am right there with yall.

[@lindavonh131]

Great place to ride looks like the mountains in Nc.

[@MarigoldThyme]

Good girl Classy!🐎💖👍
