Overnight Island Truck Camping with Wild Horses

[@marthabaez8117]

Taz looks soooo happy! She has changed so much, she used to be shy and insecure, but look at her now, the way she was happy running and digging in the sand 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

[@Heluv_reading]

Cringe

[@Vas0424]

Totally agree! Taz rocks!!

[@SharonBlair-p2d]

Great video

[@sarabennett2583]

“Did you just put the whole bird in there” is such a typical father response 😂😂😂

[@aquabot]

@marthabaez8117 Yeah, Taz looks so much more at ease with Ria now, it's a pleasure to watch.

[@TeeLynnTV]

Watching Taz sand digging makes me overwhelmed with joy! She is such a beautiful blessing.❤

[@sherizuech6562]

I bet Blue is at ease knowing Ria is taken care of with Taz.

[@TeeLynnTV]

@ absolutely 💯

[@777LadyVenus]

I went for a walk a few days ago at a local dog park! A dog (the same breed as blue) walked by me. I asked his owner the name and she said “blue “ I thought of you instantly. She had another big white dog! I asked the name, she said “Poe “ I really truly believe in signs from the universe and don’t believe in coincidences. So as I am typing this, I was thinking why ? Well, you my little sister and blue, Poe and TAZ have pulled me out of some dark depression watching you! Truly from my heart to your heart ❤ so much gratitude 🙏 your channel brings me joy and I look forward to watching you. Thank you 🙏 Ps, when you were grieving Blue! I I was too with you! I don’t think you realize how much your subscribers love you and your dogs! You bring light into people’s lives with your humor and authenticity

[@cyndykated1083]

That’s amazing! ❤❤

[@giselekusmik9167]

I’m crying just reading your post! 💖 Hope you’re doing okay 💙

[@mariasant7810]

Praying for peace and blessings for you

[@rosieleigh9692]

OMG, Seeing Tazzy girl having fun on the beach made my whole night so much better! I love you guys, i hope you're both doing well 💙

[@AleseMarie919]

She’s like “I CAN be tamed!” *tiny little lick on the face* SO GLAD to see she’s showing that puppy energy. You’ve totally unlocked her sweet little heart.

[@brendakarakeian7318]

Taz is a hoot! She’s so funny 🤣 . We chose a good name for her! WOW look at her go! The wild horses are just amazing!! It’s so awesome to see them in their natural habitat! Great Video!!💙

[@sweet_leef]

Seeing Tazzy freak out on the beach was soooo much fun, if you decided to make a whole video of her just zooming around on the beach i’d watch it 10 times 😂 i love seeing her personality blossom! and that moment you kissed her and she gently reached up and kissed you back KILLED me. You have her whole heart ❤

[@gailbancer1571]

I live in Florida and had a Puggle who passed away last July at 10 1/2. We used to play ball on the beach for hours, and he would dig for crabs, and catch them and throw them up in the air…..he would even chase them into the water (which normally he didn’t go in by himself). I miss him.

[@shanniwelsh133]

I lost my 17-year-old rescue Puggle two years ago. I had adopted two young rescue pups when she was 15 and she spent the last two years of her life thinking she was a puppy again. I still miss her. ❤

[@LaBettika]

It just warms my heart to see how happy Taz looks. She struck gold by being rescued by you. Her life as a stray to a love bug. Thank you for being a rescue mom ❤❤❤

[@gwenwallace6175]

Oh glory be!! Taz?? where she started to where she’s come?? Truly unbelievable!! She’s come into her own… All because of you!!

[@lindaolphin7897]

Taz is living her best life now, she is so full of energy ❤️❤️❤️

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Love watching Taz run like crazy on the beach. Very nice park to camp in.

[@SquatchyBunker]

That's one happy pup! It's Taz's Dachshund half that makes her love to dig.

[@girlmomof_Payne]

Also cant help but notice, how I’ve been watching you for a minute now a hot minute in millennial lingo 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I have quit following other travelers because it became unobtainable for a normal person. At first they were like the every day run of the mill people then they make a little money get a plaque and they are totally different people. Adore how much you love your rig. How to cherish it all and don’t feel the need to change anything at all. Actually made me look into a newer defender since I’ve been car shopping since last summer 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 I was partial because of your name lol the woman who raised me, that was her name. It was given to me and I’ve given it to my daughter. Maria’s hold a special place in my heart but I’ve stayed because of how amazing of a human you are. How down to earth how much you cherish nature and animals. You, sweet girl, are a special soul!! Never have had a sister & I swear if I did I’d want her to be exactly like you! lol ugh I’m so weird I’m sorry 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 29:57

[@katea8583]

Taz and beach zoomies are the best thing in the world!!!!

[@traci635]

Wow! I never realized Maryland had wild horses! I love horses! Maryland is a really unique state. Thank u for bringing us along 😊

[@henrialbinus3967]

Just love to see Taz having so much fun on the beach, she is so happy, she makes me laugh 😅. Thanks for sharing.

[@rosellawerbicki]

Tazz is so lucky to have such a great homan to take care of her and YOU are so blessed to have Tazz after all you have been thru with Blue.

[@tshelley4232]

What’s a Homan? I tried to Google it but couldn’t find anything on a Homan😢 bicki.

[@sailose]

As someone who has lived in maryland my whole life, its odd seeing this from another point of view and I love it, I remember when I first stated watching your channel I was thinking to my self "man did she already pass though MD" and I'm happy I get to see MD from your perspective. Thank for bring us along

[@landy531]

That's gotta be stimulating on her paws the way she goes crazy and of course Maria makes her dogs happy 😊

[@Katarina-ds5mj]

I love watching Taz doing her happy/beach dance. It’s the best thing ever!🩷

[@zoeysmelser]

Tazz is such a beach puppy!!

[@carlitah74]

I'm a MD native and I live 3 hours away from Assateague Island. I've been there a few times, and the horses are beautiful. Apparently, they've been there roaming wild since the 17th century. They are always roaming free. I never see them on the beach.

[@musicmania1263]

@24:14 I liked your creative shout-out to Bubby in the beautiful sky!!

[@klbriceno1]

I love seeing Taz going absolute ham on the beach..and those horses are beautiful!

[@adrienneshouse9742]

Taz in the sand had me cracking up. So funny and sweet. ❤

[@aliceinoregonland3942]

This episode brought back a great memory of a book I read as a kid called, "The Ponies of Chincoteague"! I loved that book so much! I had no idea that the story was actually real, until I was reading about them, in the waiting room of a dentist's office! 😂😂😂

[@lyric8006]

I love watching Taz do her natural doggy activities on the beach ❣️

[@susanlyon9377]

I’ve followed these wild ponies for all my life! I’m so happy you get to actually experience it first hand. Thank you for sharing this experience with me ❤

[@robertscranton8293]

Tazy is really finding her groove. I know you are so happy with this outcome. Time.. O' Time.

[@S.Kribbet]

Taz is acting like a Cattle Dog. I just DNA tested mine, she is 100%. When I saw Taz, I thought you act like my dog. They eat when they are hungry, generally in the middle of the night, they are on “high alert” most of the time. They love digging especially in the sand & running wild. Very loyal and loving.

[@lynnfiegl4953]

How freaking cool is that!! Wild 🐎 horses!! There is an island off NC that has wild horses! Love watching Taz spaz out on the beach!! 😂😂Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶🐾🐾🐎🐎

[@JgGj-vg7lb]

Maria, Thank you for finally sharing pics of you & your 🐎 🐴 adventures, you even put BLUE💙🦮💙 on a horse, how funny! Beautiful sunset, the beach is such a great place to enjoy such a peaceful vibe with the perfect weather, sound of waves rolling in, Watching miss Zoomies ( Taz ) , run by, or dig...she is definately a happy girl 💕🐶🕳🏖 I'm glad you got to see some horses. Not sure why you didn't send up a drone to find a bigger group of the wild horses? The 🐎🐴 you did see were still Beautiful ... As a truck driver, I saw a group of wild horses driving through Reno, Nv. Also saw BIG HORN SHEEP GRAZING IN VAIL, COLORADO NEAR HWY I-7O. Tell your brother Christian. 🏔🏞🐏💙🐏 🏃🕺😆 Thanks for the Siiiick video, safe travels, happy horse hunting...😂🫶🐴🐎🐎🎈🎉🎊

[@JennyGonzalez-bo4mu]

Taz's zoomies bring such a BIG smile to my face. I love seeing my fur baby get them too! The horses are amazing! /it's so great to see Taz becoming your traveling partner and making her big brother proud!

[@memex56]

Taz has no idea how lucky she is. You're a great dog mom. Enjoying your adventures!!

[@brightplaceTravel]

Welcome to the DMV (DC, MD, and VA) area Ria! We’re so glad to have you!!!

[@retiredk9]

Born and raised near Chincoteague, va. Love the ponies and beach.

[@d3vin301]

OMG OMG I'm from Maryland, Asategue Island with the wild horses I am so glan you stopped there it is great!

[@Clarinda1963]

Awe Taz was so happy running and digging. Adorable.❤️🥰😍. Those horses are beautiful. That’s so awesome.

[@shelley6746]

I grew up in Michigan and was in 4H with my horses…Had a horse farm for 10 years and loved it ❤. Taz is so funny digging on the beach 🏖️

[@CinnamonGirl42069]

Crazy how many rainbows you've been seeing lately. Blue is absolutely still with you 💓🌈💓✨

[@TheMetalAllfather]

I've never seen Taz so playful. DEFINITELY a beach dog!

[@mayasilliman1465]

I could watch Taz all day, playing and all frisky. This vid dropped when my back was turned, darn. Love seeing the wild horses, but not much luck staying on one in the days I tried! Way to go Maria!

[@marcl5048]

Ah my home state. Assateague island! I hope you got to Annapolis and Dc also! Safe travels!

[@jillsanto397]

The wild horses are amazing. I’m a horse girl too, this was awesome to see through your eyes. Taz is just adorable, her enthusiasm at the beach is so great. ❤

[@donna2753]

Such a great video! I haven’t been there for many years but I so completely remember just being mesmerized by the wild horses. I’ll bet you got some great shots! So glad for you and Taz that you got to camp there. She’s a sand baby!!!

[@lucyj7688]

That was awesome!!! Thanks, Ria & Taz for another wild adventure.❤❤❤❤❤🐕🐾🐾🐎🐎🐎😁🇦🇺

[@johnrobert1053]

So great to see Taz developing. 😂

[@billdee6398]

Almost 50 ! Yeah 50 Years Ago I ⛺️ Camped Assateague & 🏄🏽‍♂️ Surfed In An Old VW Van …..Whoa Dude 😂 The Ponies Were Similar One Shared My Oreos With Me At A Picnic Table 😵‍💫 Great Video❤

[@apexxmia]

Whatttt!! I'm so upset, youve been on the eastern shore twice and I missed you both times!! I wouldve been so pumped to see Poe driving down the highway! I'm happy you and Taz had fun though and enjoyed your time here 💙

[@dianagatlin4609]

How dare these naysayers talking about you raising Taz. You are amazing and definitely Wonder Woman. You’re strong and sharp on your feet and have such a capacity of love in your heart for animals and earth.

[@Mitch93636]

Seeing the horses must have made you happy, because you love riding them.

[@Bent-bird]

Well roamers, another awesome video from Goofball and Crackhead..! Seeing Taz racing around and digging on the beach was great. I'd watch a whole video of just that 😀

[@cherylann421]

0:07 loved watching Taz get her zoomies in. Lucy’s ears were twitching away listening and watching her. Aussies loving Aussies

[@aliceinoregonland3942]

Same with my dog! She was chewing on a rope toy, then stopped and picked her head when Taz whimpered a little! 🦮🦮🦮 She also watched Taz doing zoomies on the beach! 😂😂😂

[@patriciacrosbie6029]

So amazed by Taz’s confidence you have brought her so far from where she was.

[@giselekusmik9167]

SO HAPPY you got to see those beautiful horses! Hope you post some of your horse pics on Instagram! ❤️ I also LOVED seeing Miss Taz LIVE UP to her name! She gets so happy at the beach she can’t help herself and acts…. JUST LIKE a Tasmanian Devil! 🤣🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Happy travels next Rita - keep finding those Trader Joe’s! 💙

[@joeconniedonald1990]

Taz & the beach zoomies, gotta love it!!🐾♥️

[@ashleyling7953]

Omg I love horses too and used to jump. When I was young I read the horse series "Misty of Chincoteague " ( kids chapter book series)this is so amazing

[@aliceinoregonland3942]

I did too!

[@PamSheets-zn7vi]

This made my day, Taz is so funny, such a loving pup. Thank you, Maria, for this journey. ❤️

[@destinihereth3105]

Taz's dachshund comes out when she gets the zoomies!! So cute! My ❤️

[@ellenfielding73]

I love that she loves the beach. She is living her best life! Was she whining at all while on the beach. Awe… it just melts my heart watching her grow up.

[@chase-mode]

Seeing you and taz heal one another is so beautiful.

[@CindyLynne]

I absolutely LOVE seeing Taz play and be so happy!!

[@loribarron2891]

I went there as a kid and it was so much fun. It was so cool to watch the horses run free.

[@itsafranckthing]

I am happy you got to go there. I spent many of summers as a kid camping there with my parents. Such great memories came back watching this.

[@Traveling_with_FIVE_Cats]

..you go Ria & company! We feel we are back on the road again when we see your adventures. (Assateague Island, Maryland is great place for free seeing wild roaming ponies ponies on the beach!!) StaySafe😂 We love love you guys!

[@marilynpool1520]

Taz looks so happy and your bond is very much showing up ❤. The horses are so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along on all the adventures. Always looks forward to Mondays. Video from you and Becca best part of a Monday

[@melissaw6446]

Taz on the beach is the best thing I've seen in a while!

[@ritafoster8625]

Omg it is so fun watching Taz running up and down the beach digging holes. My kind of doggy

[@Smigal89]

Taz is so amazing! That personality!!! I still believe we find the dogs we need in our lives and she looks like she is bringing you so much love, craziness and love!

[@LaurenLovesFall]

Taz is so happy!! She loves you so much, you can see it! ❤ awesome camp, so fun to see tazzy on the beach, sending you both lots of love! 💕

[@halisabo9622]

I've been to this area many years ago, I remember the wild horses! There's a place in Mouth of Wilson, VA called Grayson Highlands State Park that also has wild ponies and long horned bulls. One of my favorite places to do some hiking with added bonuses! I love how much Taz has opened up, she's literally living her best life now a days and so happy! Anytime you pist, it's a great start to my day! ❤

[@melodyshwiyhat2821]

Hi Ria and Taz 😊❤... Thanks for all you do and the smiles you bring to so many ❤🧸😊🐕 💙

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

Love watching Taz run around so much and just enjoying life! Taz was the perfect name choice for her!

[@jcblackmon]

We LOVE our National Seashore around here…so glad you got to enjoy it!!

[@paulak9786]

My home state! I've been here many times. Hopefully I'll be camping here this coming spring with my kiddos! Love seeing Taz romp in the sand!

[@diannescheid4637]

Taz the spaz frolicking in the sand❣️ Her joy is infectious! I could watch her on the beach for hours!! Have fun and stay safe!

[@lindahopson5003]

Glad you saw the horses. I loved that Taz was having such a wonderful time!

[@Kitkatcurlybirdy]

I saw the thumbnail and already knew where you were. Welcome to MD!

[@missmandy3663]

I recently found your channel, and I'm hooked. I adore your dogs. I enjoy your adventures. I give you mad props for your fearlessness and willingness to have solo adventures with your dog! So cool. So well done. Such an inspiration. 😊

[@juliekorte5896]

Thanks for sharing this adventure! So awesome!!! Seeing Taz so crazy happy was so fun😊

[@d3vin301]

one of the things i remember during summer is these boring horse flys, OUCH, good thing you are there during colder months

[@lurkndog]

Watching you and Tazz frolicking on the beach was awesome. Then the horses inspired me to rummage through my music folder for The Sundays cover of Wild Horses (recommended). Have a good one!

[@Applecider-Poetry]

I use a twenty foot retractable leash for my little man (dog). If you teach yourself to hold the dog lightly on the short leash then whip him into running ALMOST to the end. It's really fun AND i keep him tied up. I like running my dog on the long part. It's like casting for fish... 😊😅

[@davidcolley2855]

You guys are awesome 😎. I really enjoy watching Taz grow into a dog she was meant to be. Taz doesn't realize how lucky she has Maria for a dog mum. Maria, the next time your back on the west coast, to it is suggested to check out some camping on Vancouver Island. Especially the Port Renfrew, Jordan River and Sooke area. There is a famous lake called fairy lake in which, there is a tree literally growing out of a log on the side of the lake. It's quite epic.

[@all4jesusall4him37]

I am soooooo glad Tazzy has come out of her shell. She’s adorbs, lovin the beach! Yeah buddy! You should take her to Saint Simons Island GA!

[@BorderlessOverlanding]

Hi Maria - Love the horses on the video and your photos. I did ride at a younger age and also showed them in competition, lots of fun. My wife and I enjoy your channel very much. If you ever back in Florida (I believe Beca was close by me recently), please let me know, I also have a 1997 Defender 110 that I am preparing to travel around the USA and beyond if time allows. I must say that Taz is looking and doing great, good job!

[@ZanyZoomers]

Taz is so comfortable now and really come out of her shell with you…❤

[@lynettecarner]

Hi Ria and Taz, Seeing Ta, have so much fun, playing and interacting with you. She has definitely come out of her shell. The beach sunset was beautiful. My Dad's favorite color was sky blue pink. Because of the way the pink and blue would just melt together. He loved sunsets. Safe travels and hugs to you both 🤗 🤗

[@audreytaylor2298]

I agree , Taz has changed soooo much! Mad as a hatter, happy, secure and loved by her mamma! It’s wonderful to see her personality shine out. You looked amazing on those horses too that you used to ride. You are a dark horse aren’t you!!!! Haha 😛 great video. A real happy few days there. 😊❤x

[@Nicole-ms2mr]

I love seeing Taz sooo excited. I also really enjoyed the videos where you meet up with other people, so much laughter, You and Taz seem so happy.

[@feliciamester]

The ponies were so beautiful. Taz was so stinkin cute digging in the sand.

[@The_OG_Peaceloveandpuppies]

Your conversation with your dad @15:00 made me miss my dad so much, looks like you guys have a great relationship

[@Bleighsadventures]

Awesome Video Ria, Beautiful & Taz is adorable 🥰

[@barbararobbins5309]

This was a great one. I had never heard of this island. It is good to see Taz having so much fun! I can't wait for your next adventure!

[@tesslee100]

I love it there! Last time we went, there were horses walking in the surf! Stunning. Taz was having the best time. :)

[@TimHart-ew7ec]

I don't think i would have ever guessed that Taz would have turned out to be as vocal and playful as she has become.All the horses looked to be in good health and really without a care in the world around the people and cars.

[@roamingreckless]

It took her a while but she's finally opening up!

[@jonhletterman2851]

That was nice for someone to check on you as you were checking fluids in the vehicle, I got to see a bunch of wild horses while I was up in Wyoming for a bit

[@LandRoverSus]

Love that you went to Assateague!Chincoteague is also a favorite but beware the mosquitos in summer! Horse girls forever ❤

[@kittybabymm]

Hi Ria, This was such a fun video, especially for you and Tazzie. She playing in the sand, and you taking pics of the beautiful horses..I absolutely love how much Tazzie has changed She's a very confident little girl. Tak care ! See you next time ❤ ❤
