Julius update. Doing great, filling out.

Quick update here, I’ll post some longer videos later.

[@JuliusFriesian]

Just for clarity.. Julius is handled properly by very professional and loving people every day. My daughter rides him 4 days per week and others with more experience take him out as well. All you are seeing here is a rare time that I decided to go take a video of him for you by myself. (Most are not thrilled to be on camera). So this is not indicative of his normal life, which is probably why he was so confused with me. He does what every other person wants him to right away. :) There hasn’t been time for me to get trained up yet, I’ll get around to it, but he spends 99% of his time with better people for him.

[@poyznelf]

just love him, that is all he wants, okay and food.

[@darksarcasm4835]

You are a great Dad, and I guess we know intuitively that you have professionals handling Prince Julius. I don’t blame the folks behind the scene-I don’t want to be on camera either, but I’m thankful that you are made of sterner stuff. I love to watch this beautiful horse, so thank you for sharing him with us.

[@LRyan-li9wr]

Hi from Ontario Canada!! I totally enjoy your videos, they give me the giggles because you want so much to please your viewers, you freely admit that you're not an expert, and I love your honesty! Kudos to you for learning how to get Julius to put on a show! .....just tap that stick on the ground, no need for all the fancy footwork we see other trainers demonstrate. I am a big fan of Yvonne, followed Queen Uniek and others. What I'm wondering now is how do horses handle being transported from the Netherlands to America? PS I live near the formerly famous Windfield Farms (which no longer is, having been replaced by the University of Ontario) where Northern Dancer is buried, the Canadian horse that won the Kentucky Derby.

[@hazelkagey6739]

I know nothing literally about horses, I love to watch them. You are 1000 times better with horses and you do it out of love. Glad you posted a video, I was fearful with all the tornados in the plaines that y'all might have had some storm damage. Prince Julius is magnificent!

[@snarkyboots]

He is so beautiful and watching him must be a joy for you.

[@dilligaf4219]

Let Julius know he has a baby sister, her name is Belle Uniek ❤ give my love to Julius

[@dilligaf4219]

Belle was born about 10 days via a surrogate about 10 days before Uniek passed away. She is a gorgeous little filly and will do her mama proud ❤️

[@ayseeegckusu4834]

❤Yes Queen Uniek And Yvonne I LOVE you ❤

[@shellyross8283]

Of course, a Goëngamieden horse is the best horse you can have!! 🧡

[@janineruster738]

Du sagst es Shelly👍👍

[@lisajoyaslanis]

Tell it, Shelly!

[@lisajoyaslanis]

That is certainly true....( said smugly, with a proud smile! Yes, I am a little biased...) Lisa

[@angelaainsworth1715]

This is true Shelly! ❤❤❤

[@ChihuahuaDogLife]

He floats across the ground! So happy to see him having such a great life. ❤

[@only1dutchgirl]

So glad Julius is thriving. He became a big brother again recently. A little filly named Belle Uniek.

[@suzannemarienau2760]

How wonderful to see Prince Julius again! He is gorgeous and he's thriving with your family. Many thanks for this update. 😊🐎👋

[@marylewis-fi4ef]

The riding crop is an extension of your arm. When you want Julius to run, shuffle your feet/shoes on the ground and make tisk tisk sounds with your tongue and teeth. He looks great by the way! Thank you for the update.

[@blaiseaimee7098]

Julius is thinking "this guy just wants me to run around??? OK! DONE!!!" I think he enjoyed that :)

[@gayleduke3897]

Such a handsome Prince! He's so lucky to be with such a wonderful family. Thank you, James, for the update.

[@marshmallowl4140]

Love his little socks and he's moving very good. And thank you for clarifying that's rare occasion for both of you so it does not confuse anyone.

[@pattimiller9157]

Thanks for update of this beautiful boy ❤

[@cindyford8392]

Thank you for the update on Julius, James. Love seeing these videos. Julius is magnificent. Thanks for sharing.

[@dfb8854]

Absolutely thrilled you came back James, to show off that Prince of yours! Julius and that gorgeous shiny ✨ coat of his is gorgeous, must be that Nebraskan sun and Lexi’s brushing❤ Thank you for this update, I was so afraid this many of us scared you off. 😊

[@jennyscott1740]

He's looking wonderful, it's nice to have you back. I hope that the family is doing well 😊.

[@Nannaof10]

Been missing him. He moves beautifully. He just needs a bit of noise to encourage him to go 😊 He is so gorgeous, you are very blessed to have him!

[@lisajoyaslanis]

Julius is " cool"....not easily fazed...just like his Mama, Queen UNIEK!

[@user-pb2vo4pt3t]

He's just beautiful. I have a soft spot for this breed. They're magnificent!❤️❤️❤️

[@The-KimP]

Wonderful to see Julius again and looking so well. He really enjoyed his time in the arena!

[@kimmiller1131]

He is beautiful! Love watching him trot and canter....truly amazing to watch.

[@barb7128]

His movement is so beautiful. Gorgeous horse!

[@lisaferrara8120]

Glad Julius is eating more and looking well! ❤

[@lisajoyaslanis]

Thank you, James.... Julius is looking great! Thanks for sharing him....Lexi is THE luckiest young lady! Wishing you and your family well,. Lisa🍏

[@joycesutherland6331]

Julius is beautiful! I'm so happy to see you posting again. I've missed you, Julius, and your family. 👋 🧡

[@davarich4965]

Very happy to see you back. You had me worried for a minute if the haters scared you away. You are doing great with Julius and he is well loved. There is a lot to learn but it will come. The main thing is Julius knows you love him.

[@dfb8854]

❤

[@zaynab29]

Hi Julius and family, glad to see you all back.❤💕🌸

[@sarahmarks7082]

Prince Julius 👑 looks wonderful 🖤 Glossy coat and fine muscles 💪🥰 And loves showing off to Daddy 🤩

[@bonniesmith9370]

Yay you’re back! What a gorgeous horse you have! Your daughter is blessed to have such a fine horse 🐎. Thank you so very much for sharing the Julien update!!

[@SharonCSwink]

Thank you for updating regarding Julius. He is happy and healthy because of the excellent care and attention you have given him. He has been welcomed into your family in loving ways. Thank you for sharing your family life as well as info about Julius.

[@WhiteTiger333]

That beautiful trot! And kicking up his heels - lol - he was in a good mood!

[@jd9351]

Thanks for the update! He really is the best horse you could have. Such a magnificent boy.

[@shannonkuhn9679]

Prince Julius is so sweet, loving, beautiful, & majestic; just like his mama Queen Uniek! I wish I could give you pointers but if you watch the Fresian and Horses channel with Yvonne & the gang ~ you will definitely learn a lot about caring for, & training Fresian horses. I absolutely love when he went by you toward the end of his run & looked right at you; that was so precious! Thank you for sharing your precious time, energy, family, fur babies, & videos with us! Also, I have to thank you for making me smile or laugh even when I don’t think I can, or want to ~ I deeply appreciate you all. May God Bless ALL of you & yours 😇🙏🥰🦋🌹💕♾💯

[@gigitheobald1486]

Thanks so much for the update - the fact that you are so willing to do your best to learn about Julius and his needs is wonderful. He’s looking awesome!

[@ccatldy5021]

He's got the same floating trot his mom had. Beautiful guy.

[@lindamccoy9]

So happy to see Julius!! He is looking so good, love the way his coat shines!!

[@suzannemomma]

There’s our beautiful boy! Wonderful to see you!

[@franceshale584]

It is so wonderful to see this lovely Prince of Queen Uniek. He also shares titles with the Princess Belle Uniek. Makes it easier. Hello to all of the family of James!

[@annwynne8388]

It's so good to see you again James! As far as making him exercise, what ever works, works. Jullius looks wonderful ❤

[@darksarcasm4835]

Thank you for the update…he is gorgeous!❤and you are a great horse Dad for getting those devilish horseflies off of the Prince 👑 Tell the fair Lexi that we are in her corner! It takes a special rider to climb aboard an unknown horse.

[@barbaradarius208]

Julius is looking truly majestic: Equally powerful and regal... Thanks a lot for sharing - and best wishes from Germany!

[@shellyross8283]

🧡🧡Julius🧡🧡 What a beauty!!

[@janineruster738]

Er ist ein wirklich Hübscher 😊😊

[@Feenstaub66]

Ich kann das nur bestätigen! ☺️💙🥰

[@karenj.5910]

Julius is beautiful. You can tell he has the same flowing gait that Queen Uniek had. It's wonderful to be able to check up on one of her offspring! It's nice to meet Cosmo, too. You will learn what you need to know over time. Just watch and learn. Best of luck and thank you for sharing!

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Lovely to see Julius looking so happy and well loved xxxxx

[@bluekatgal7300]

Great to get to see this lovely guy. He really moves beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

[@janicemiles7907]

Hi! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Julius is looking happy and healthy. He has such a graceful, floaty trot. That was great when he got that burst of energy! 😄 It's wonderful to see you out with your amazing horse. ❤

[@kmt3614]

Awww....he's so beautiful and funny when he bucked up!!😂 I was like wooo hooo!

[@ianmax5263]

KZbin “how to lunge a horse”, might teach you the basics of moving a horse in the arena

[@JuliusFriesian]

He gets lunged and ridden properly all the time by people who know what they are doing. I’m just not one of those people. Just was walking him around today. The nice ladies (and my daughter) who are working with him just don’t want to be on camera all the time.

[@jaysmith8199]

Great to see you back! Julius is looking fine, mmmm 😊 Flies are the bane of a horse's existence, hence the fly sheets put on them! Glad Lexi is still loving owning our sweet Prince ❤

[@CatherineS777]

Thank you for the update on handsome Prince Julius 😍🥰❗️He is looking really good 👍♥️.

[@logirl1975]

Ah look at him! He looks like he's doing fantastic. Thank you for the update. ETA: You're doing just fine with him. As I'm sure you know, people spend years and years learning how to work with horses. It's a constant learning experience.

[@toodleloos]

he's so beautiful. Uniek really passed her grace to him 💖 thanks for sharing him! he seemed like he knew what to do. he probably follows commands in Friesian too. i know Yvonne on Friesian Horses had some guidance videos of her practicing with those horses that might help!

[@lisajoyaslanis]

Julius, more than likely, is accustomed to hearing voices speaking Dutch to him....but, with patient repetition, he will learn these same commands in English. Horses are smart....

[@Feenstaub66]

Julius is looking great! ❤ Thank you for the update, James! I hope everything is okay with you and your family!

[@sandrabradshaw2864]

such a happy, healthy boy and shines like a star, thank you for the update. His mother, Queen Uniek is also a favorite of mine, though she passed away recently, she lives on in her stunning off spring. Thank you for sharing, Julius' good fortune to have a new owner like you.

[@MegaJessness]

Lol Julius was probably staring at you because he was waiting for your cue. He's looking great, his coat is sooo shiny! And yeah, Fresians love interacting with their people, they're like big puppy dogs.

[@marilynvanderwilp3713]

He is just magnificent. Thanks for the update.

[@ellenw4762]

Super handsome boy! He does look a lot like his mother Queen Uniek! His little sister Princess Belle Uniek will also be a beauty!

[@karenrussell2091]

Prince Julius is a gorgeous handsome horse. He moves like his late mother, Queen Uniek. He has a baby sister princess Belle Uniek. Thank you for the update.

[@nancyM1313-Boo]

You"re very funny James😅 "A horsefly on a horse" ~ good one! I bet Julius will look Fierce wearing a Red Fly Bonnet. Thanks for sharing all is well🏇 👋

[@serenafury5786]

Lovely blue shoes, and matching the bridle, what a top model !

[@svetlanastefanova4731]

He is Amazing ❤❤❤The Son of the Queen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤! Thanks for this nice video!

Welcome back! Julius looks wonderful. His coat is so shiny!! 🐎❤️

[@Swampie419]

❤It is wonderful to see you James & magnificent Prince Julius! Was worried about you & your family, so thanks. Julius looks great - he's clearly happy. Oh, how he moves! Blessings for a great weekend. 🤗

[@dianetosta7462]

Julius looks so healthy and he IS filling out. Great to see him again, so thanks for posting. He is truly beautiful.

[@adriansmith6993]

Julius is a beautiful horse! He looks great. His coat is shining. He seems sweet. You all have done good with him and he with you. Thanks for the update! ❤

[@learobinson4450]

So glad to see another vid. Julius looks great in blue & I’m happy to know your family is well.

[@nancyleejorgenson9523]

Thank you! He really looks healthy and happy

Prince Julius is finally back, I've been waiting for a video of him in his beautiful majesty for a long time ♥️

[@lindalucey9874]

Such a beautiful boy. Looks so happy.

[@conniegordon2238]

He is just a handsome guy !! ❤❤ so happy to see him again ❤❤ thank you!!

[@TheDaragh]

I know he is in a great home wuth the best if care and a young girl who will love him forever. Pretty sweet ti see you stretching yourself to build relationship with the Prince yourself. Happ early Father's Day.

[@Heather6971]

Beautiful boy! 🤩 I'm happy to see Julius again!

[@heidiandhergoatsl2618]

You should watch some of Yvonne's videos on Friesian Horses. She does this all the time by making noises.

[@LilA-zl6tf]

Yes, this! 👍

[@Snagglemama]

Would be so funny to see him doing the same noise Yvonne does 😂

[@petrahartog5934]

Sound is often used in training horses and it works very well ... Also certain words ...braaf ...goed zo ...can be used as well as many .. The horse needs to learn and understand sounds and words . Repeat them many times to reward good behaviour and it will pay back .

[@MikelJay]

Thanks for posting update. Was wondering how you all survived recent storms. Love the Friesian extended trot. Just an fyi, holding phone in landscape mode will be easiest to follow Julius. Just think how your TV screen is positioned. I blame Apple for defaulting recording to portrait 😅

[@TrinityBloodFan02]

Julius looks gorgeous 😍

[@cathleen8302]

Beautiful that you are learning and enjoying your daughter’s passion.

[@svetlanastefanova4731]

Love you Julius❤❤❤!

[@kimdorseyroberts9385]

Good to see you and the Prince. He is gorgeous. I hope you and the family are doing well.

[@TASIAawful1]

Love his plaits ❤ he is looking so very beautiful and healthy thank you so much for up date of Prince Julius 👑❤

[@cyndiflitcraft5628]

Friesians are the black labs of horses. They live to interact with humans. He would follow you all over the arena. So get out there and walk around with him, and add a rubber ball with a handle for fetch... Things like that. He will truly connect with you. At least for starters. You're doing great! Love your videos and commentary.

[@heatherwendt7911]

Julius looks fantastic! He is so shiny and has a beautiful trot. Just took some time to settle in and find the right combination of feed for him. 😊❤ Happy that you are all well after the last couple weeks of storms. I'm just northwest of the Twin Cities and storm systems are blowing in and out every 15 minutes some days!

[@fabienneegerton8437]

How wonderful to get an update 😊he’s his mother’s son if he loves eating, Uniek was the same. When they show the Friesians they follow from a distance behind with a rattle can of sand and stones and wave the crop you have. You got the perfect result from what you did, also try to get him to run both ways round the dry lot so he doesn’t get too used to turning in one direction. He’s super shiny which is a sign of good health! I use coconut oil to repel bugs for my dog and recently saw a ranch owner does the same for her horses - maybe you could try that unless someone on here knows a better way. The lady rubs it sparingly on the belly, neck and butt

[@hansgustaf540]

Finally... So glad to see Uniek's son is doing fine. I really missed your clips and was going to ask "the herd" if I missed something. Julius looks so nice when he is moving in the sunshine. He is a lucky guy after the change from the Royal stables to you. 👍👍👍

[@petrariesmeijer8443]

Beautiful Julius🤩 So nice to see him

[@MsJellyBellyLove]

Good to see you guys! He's a pretty laid back horse.

[@emmelia-6068]

Thank you!! He's lovely and looks happy. That shiny coat and beautiful gait ❤❤❤

[@sherrileerothwell5516]

Thanks for the update. Julius is quite glorious!

[@user-jk5ur9dh5h]

Beautiful! Julius is going through all his gaits with very little prompting with the riding crop. He almost bucked in his excitement!❤😅

[@user-jk5ur9dh5h]

Julius looks magnificent! Healthy, happy, and shiny. It's obvious he's been loved for the past 9 months he's been with you because he looks to you and comes up to you in all the videos. I think that is a good sign he feels safe with you. I ride horses although can't afford one. Don't listen to the mean and judgmental people who spout off without seeing 100% of Julius' life. Most of them just watch horse videos without ever getting on a horse and think somehow that qualifies them to tell your professional training team what to do.

[@marie-clauderecchia4531]

Thank you James for the update on Julius He looks magnificient and seems very happy He is so regal when he trots or galops Have a great week-end

[@justnix4487]

Good to see you back 😊Julius is looking fabulous he moves beautifully hope you and your lovely family are all doing ok

[@andreagagne2377]

Wow Julius is looking really good. Hes so shiny now. Great job.

[@marilar423]

It was exhilarating to observe his brisk gait.🎊

[@CP-mj5et]

Hey James,you're doing great with Julius..it takes time! He is absolutely magnificent, like his beautiful Mother,Quenn Uniek..he floats on air wen he trots..majestic ❤❤.Hope he knows he has a little sister,Belle Uniek..He has a wonderful family in You and Lexi..keep it up and keep posting videos,I love to keep track on him🙏❤🙏❤

[@paulmartens4442]

Take an empty coffee can with some pebbles it in and shake it. The rattling sound is what they use in the show ring and what they're used to.

[@elmariebernhardt3831]

Thank you his looking gorgeous 🎉🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Royal like his Mother Queen Uniek.

[@CM-wk3sg]

Hey, great to hear from you and Julius! He looks great! And I‘m sure he is at the best place and gets the best treatment and the love he deserves by your daughter, you and all others involved. 👍😍

[@user-jk5ur9dh5h]

Yes, I can vouch for that because I've seen Julius myself last month. Best place. When he was at the Dutch Royal Stables, I read that his working hours consisted of long periods of standing still.😦 He's MUCH better off now.❤

[@ianmax5263]

Julius looks great!
