Is Queen👑Uniek in foal!? We're trying to do ET with her | Friesian Horses

[@only1dutchgirl]

And now there is beautiful little Belle Uniek!!!

[@TerriChannel]

Watching this video now on May 26 2024 after our sweet Uniek passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. But on the day this video was made, Uniek’s foal Belle started as an embryo in Uniek’s womb and was transferred to her sweet surrogate Coralle who brought Belle into the world. It was incredible to see that tiny embryo who now has a name and is now known to us as beautiful Belle. It brings tears to my eyes to see that this amazing process was so successful. I am SO happy for Yvonne that she now has Belle - how beautiful this is for Yvonne and for all of us who loved Uniek.

[@darn4285]

This feels like another fairytale. Uniek lost her foal and her saving grace was fostering a warmblood (Rising Star) and now another Warmblood is helping her bring a biological foal of hers into this world. A Friesian nurturing a Warmblood and now a Warmblood nurturing a Friesian, a wheel of time.

You were very wise in doing this.

Belle Uniek has started her show career by getting a 2nd Premie at her inspection. Seeing her movement and watching her grow into a beautiful Friesian is something to behold. Belle Uniek is going to have a good height to her like her late biological mother. I think even her sire is tall too. Blomke is another filly that is going to be outstanding like her mom. I'm so glad you decided to take all of us on your journey. Your Stal H is going to become a well known breeding facility. You are definitely helping the Friesian Horse registry with good quality Friesians as is Stal G and other good reliable breeding farms.

On his maternal side, he is a grandson of Beart 411 Sport Preferent & a great-grandson of the equally legendary King of the Stallions, Jasper 366 Sport Elite Preferent.

She was so happy to be a mum. Now i am praying she will be a mum again through the help of Coralle. Best wishes and hope this new journey with be successful for you. 🤗🌻🙏🏽

What an absolutely gorgeous stallion. This foal will be exceptional! An it is amazing the technique that is being used. Fascinating. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Happy Birthday Coralle!!

[@gj9736]

Wow, this was very interesting to watch, thank you so much for sharing it with us! I am so exited about having a foal from Unieke but on the other hand I am saddened that Unieke herself is denied motherhood because she was such a good mother to RS but I fully understand why you won’t risk having her carry a foal anymore. I wish you success with the surrogate in producing a beautiful Unieke foal for you! 👍❤️😊🙏🏻

[@marthakratz7877]

I think I read that Uniek had previously carried foals to term.

[@gj9736]

@@marthakratz7877 yes, but not the last two times when her foals died, besides that she is an older horse with osteoarthritis so Yvonne didn’t want to put her through all this again which shows that she really has the well being of Unieke at heart.

[@user-jk5ur9dh5h]

I know what you mean. She was such a good and protective mother to Risey all the way to the end when RS was finally weaned the second time because she loved him so much.

I am so excited for Yvonne and Queen Unik. After the two foal that didn’t make it, I kinda lost hope. This is a great idea and I am sending all the positive vibes and prayers. Hoping it is successful!

The stallion is so handsome and the surrogate is also beautiful and good luck ! Love the horses loved horses ever since I was a little girl . 😊 love your videos too from Lowell Massachusetts,USA

[@cmiller415]

Waander + Uniek = Belle!!! I’m so glad you decided to do this. I know Belle will bring you comfort in Uniek’s absence. I can’t wait to watch her grow up! I know she will bring all of us joy.

After the sad news today of Queen Uniek's passing, I came back to the creation of Belle, our miracle filly of the Queen.

uNIEK´S passing? what do you mean?

😱

[@msmarysunshine70]

@elizafaulhammer2203 Queen Uniek had to be put to sleep on Thursday. Poor Yvonne had no choice. There is a post on KZbin and Facebook telling what happened. It is very sad and hard to read.

Lovely to see Geertje, what a fabulously interesting video.

[@sherrianderson1393]

Oh how amazing that would be! I have wanted to see at least 1 more foal of Unieks! Prayers and fingers crossed that it takes! The stallion you chose is a Stunning sire!

[@lindarenn4239]

What a wonderful and educational video! Thank you for sharing this unique procedure with us Yvonne. It was good to see Geertje and Mathilda lending their support! Such a beautiful stallion Waander 512! ❤❤❤

[@catherineniew7457]

Oh how I’d love to see a beautiful healthy foal from Uniek with Coralle’s help!👍👏👏🐴

[@terryheatwole6153]

Can you believe we saw the embryo? It is going to be the most wonderful foal in the entire universe! 💕 Is Cosmos a Friesian name?

[@meycoe]

watching again....a miracle has happened and just in time. mixed emotions :(

[@user-jk5ur9dh5h]

Incredible. Uniek fostered a foal 2 years ago, and now another mom is fostering her foal.

[@user-jk5ur9dh5h]

​@@LindaEll89Of course.

[@TheGarnetObsidian]

Linda, very true, thank you. Uniek will likely smell the genetic connection as she would with any offspring from her direct or indirect lineage. Wishing everyone the very best! ❤

[@ren-uz2mz]

Wow! Hope Coralle (sp) takes! In any event thank you for sharing the process, I had a general idea how embryo transfer is done but had never seen it. Fascinating to see an embryo like that!😊

[@wrenwest4887]

I have never seen a horse move as elegantly nor show as captivatingly as a Friesian with such ease - like a dream. Marvelous breed. Hoping with you for success and a happy baby.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Hoping for success this time! A little Uniek baby would be perfect! You picked a beautiful stallion for the match!

[@melissahuber7601]

That process is soooo cool!! It is fate how now your horse needs some help just like you were mom to rising star. I’m crossing my fingers she will get her foal

[@chammond2143]

My husband had just come home from hospital after heart surgery, we flipped on KZbin and the first time I ever saw Friesian horses, it was the video of Uniek receiving Rising Star 🥰 I have been an ardent fan ever since that day! This truly is very exciting… I have a stupid question 😬 would Uniek possibly be able to raise this foal?? As I consider……… probably not 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@CrossedOverByGrace]

No. The foal would consider Coralle its mem. But, they all seem to gravitate towards Uniek anyway…. They, although mem and son/daughter, will be in the same herd and Stal and know Uniek as a herd mate and gentle authority figure. I would imagine, though, that being mem and ‘child’ they would be drawn to one another by pheromones, physical scent, and similar behavior. However, Coralle will overall have the raising of the foal and learn mainly from her. Coralle would HAVE to be a good mem. Otherwise, she would not be in such a prestigious organization.

[@kimhollenbeck1308]

Oh now I understand that corelle will be the meme to the foal when the foal is born in 11 months in 2024

[@CrossedOverByGrace]

@@kimhollenbeck1308 Yep, but genetically Waander and Uniek. 🤗

[@ironworkerfxr7105]

The heartbreaking Unike story with her foal and the unfortunate mom of star was a lucky situation in that Uniek was lactating, it was at the right time and she accepted him... which made a great story. Out of a very tough situation.

[@gertrudewelsh781]

I don't understand why you don't put the mare and stallion together and let them do it naturally.

[@palmtreegirl722]

I am so excited! I'm so excited for you too, Yvonne! Surrogacy is a great idea especially for Uniek! I'll be praying the embryo takes in the surrogate mare. And that stallion you chose is amazing! ❤❤❤

[@nancylee1625]

As I prayed for your recovery, I will certainly pray for a beautiful lovely foal! God bless your efforts.

[@GuddySmith]

WOW This is really exiting and surprising! I wonder how do you manage it, to keep such things secret. I really hope that it did work and we will see another foal from Uniek. It would be a little bit strage: The last foal she adopted and brought up was a Warmblood and than her new foal would be a Friesian foal born by a Warmblood mare. It ist also so interesting to learn so much about horse breeding - nit only by a book but in reality with so good declarations. I think, You would be a good teacher at an agricultural training center.

[@ellensherfey4061]

How delightful that another Queen Uniek foal may be born!

[@chrysa.22]

Wow! I am amazed! Uniek is such a beautiful horse, I would totally do this for her well being as well. How interesting it was to watch, thank you so much for sharing. I found a video as I was browsing KZbin and found your channel. It was my first time watching, and it was of Uniek giving birth and the foal not making it. You brought Rising Star as her new baby. Now I’m hooked😊 I cannot wait to see if the embryo took. Fingers crossed!
