The Three Main Reasons Why I Love Horsey Playtime

[@Vincent.Valentine.]

Aww Gracie isn't an oddball. She just isn't afraid to tell you who she is. I love that about Arabians. They are absolutely honest about who they are.

[@PennyLane66]

Little Miss has her heels on point today, she’s got Mr Wilde in the chest twice for bugging her early on, around 6:56 she made him squeak & 7:12 she got him good. Gotta love Lena’s ‘I’m not moving’ stance, Gracie had to slam the anchors on pretty quick 😀

[@yogawithkassandra]

How could you not love Gracie!! 😂 They're all adorable but I just love watching her.

[@kkdoc7864]

Thanks for this one and for all your videos. Always a nice surprise when I get a notification. I might have told you this before, but my passion has always been animal behavior. I used to go to some of my sisters classes and continuing ed courses when she was in vet school at OSU, whenever that subject came up. And I’m pretty sure there are a lot of folks out there like me who feel the same way. So you can never share too many observations and explanations on horse behavior. I also thought the clips you showed of certain interactions having us guess their conversations were fascinating and very well done. Thx again!

[@missys]

I agree with all of it! Wonderfully stated friend! 😊

[@robotbuster1487]

30:15 . Horse circled back for reassurance Thats a good horse.

[@veronicasmith1147]

Gracie is so funny kicking on the spot🥰

[@bromeliad11]

Wow the Grey mare rolled over 4x. 4K $$$$

[@KK-hq8jd]

I was counting as well, teehee!

[@donnacsuti4980]

Gracie was all happy excited waiting for you to bring in some playmates

[@GodisTruth914]

I LOVE PLAY TIME IN THE ARENA!!! I could watch your horses and listen to you talk all day! Lena was like please scratch me dad! I don't have any horses but I bet it's fun to brush them. Gracie is such a stinker! I love it!😂

[@truthofthematter9409]

Had a large red quarter stallion when I was a kid. His name was Bumper and for good reason. lol He had the best personality though.... sweet, gentle but can put it to the other horses if he had to. Miss him a lot

[@sasmythe9350]

Oh, I need to get out of the house more often. I found myself telling Gracie, “head down, head down, head down,” out loud today. Good grief. Of course you are the first thing I look for when I wake up in the morning.

[@LdWDracoFugit]

10:43 "What?" Horses: " /\_/\ /\_/\ " or "What?" (roughly translated from ear signing to english)

[@StableHorseTraining]

that's hilarious

[@rottiesrule78]

Kicking and farting rolling and running 🤣

[@StableHorseTraining]

Har har

[@terridinneen8870]

Another great video!! Play time is alot of fun to watch. I know all your horses love you, but Lena follows you around like a little puppy dog. And Gracie is such a hoot 😊

[@aryu-bts613]

Lena never fails to make us giggle when she just appears BAM in the camera 👀🐴 🤣SO cute like Joka💛 too when she does that. Gracie just kicking fire& spice🔥 in the first half there "Free! Playtime Yesss!" SO fascinating to see her go! Roni and MrWilde 😅 so fun watching the boys. 😍Luke and Little Miss she was really going at the start there not putting up with Mr Wilde she let him have it!

[@pennyhazen4763]

I love to watch Gracie. She is a beautiful Athlete and she doesn’t need anyone else “to have at it”. Thanks for the effort to capture it all.

[@katherinepoletto3259]

Graham I just wanted to say I love this.thanx,kat,ct

[@StableHorseTraining]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know :)

[@Beachy1955]

I find these so relaxing I usually want to doze off. Not at all from boredom. ❤️

[@joniatoms9798]

Enjoyed immensely.

[@AL-lz1hb]

Do we need a little more time studying Jokas little Teddybear ears? I think we might.

[@FlorenceBNice]

Lena and Little Miss are easily my faves, cant get enough close ups of either of them :D

[@martineinfrance]

Thank you 👍 Gracie will never grow up in her mind, she is unique 😀 is this in purpose that you lead the boys far from the back, at the front gate, so they all enter by the main entrance ? I wonder how Joka was or would be with her own kind, because Icelandic love to be with Icelandic.. She is a sweety 😍

[@Life.with.Henry.the.Maltese]

I love watching these videos. The crew is looking fantastic 🥰My gosh so much excitement today!

[@SM75j]

So beautiful!!

[@stevegreat7193]

I am glad to hear that you have water in the ground there because gorgeous as those trees are, I'd like to think that forest fires are not likely there. Cheers.

[@StableHorseTraining]

yup, it's always wet around here as we get so much rain or melt off of the nearby mountains.

[@aryu-bts613]

Hi Graeme and all horses! (Possibly silly) Question- If you ever go away for a day/weekend/vacation etc...do the horses notice you've been gone? Do they seem to miss you when you get back like "Hey our food & scritches guy is back in the herd!" Maybe more drawing to you for attention? Just curious if they're similar to a dog missing their owner. Thanks!🐴🤠 Have great day!

[@StableHorseTraining]

Not anymore than if I left for half the day really... they always seem to come to me no matter what but I don't think I've seen a change in intensity

[@trinc9015]

I wouldn’t be able to say no to scratching them lol those eyes remind me of puppy dog eyes. 🥰

[@rzpotts4]

They're like having a bunch of kids, they're all my favorite. 😆

[@dottierogers4625]

9 minutes and 30 seconds to put all 7 horses out your good! It would take me a lot longer. Stop picking on my Gracie, she is full of it and likes to paw 😂😂 I have watched this video before and I still get plenty of joy watching over and over. Do you ever ride Gracie? If so how is she when riding her? I had a friend who has horses and she stated that Arabians are stupid, I think there beautiful and very classy looking. Thanks for the education! Love all your babies 🥰🥰

[@StableHorseTraining]

I haven't ridden Gracie in a while as I was waiting for her to grow up a bit more, but here's one of my more proud videos of her riding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZTcd6quh8mVpa8 I wouldn't worry about anybody calling any horse stupid. Their opinion doesn't matter :)

[@dottierogers4625]

@@StableHorseTraining , thank you

[@jeanettejohansson5181]

Loved it 😍❤

[@missys]

Yep......and I'm late to the party! I'm playing catch up! Lol I know we've talked about this before but do you have a preferred "order of release" into the arena or is just whoever is waiting patiently gets released first?

[@StableHorseTraining]

No preferred order at this time. Sometimes if Gracie looks or feels particularly antsy then I'll put her out first, but she's pretty much the only one I accommodate.

[@angelatracy7418]

Lena is adorable!

[@angelatracy7418]

I love the horses that seek out the human, my favorite horses are those that seek us out. It's so much easier to bond with them. Lena sems to enjoy very healthy relationships within her herd. Is it uncommon that a horse prefers their human? I have worked with one horse that absolutely prefers her humans. She is the lead mare and runs all the other horses off...preferring to interact with me. Sometimes I feel sorry for her that she will not bond or co-groom with another horse,,,She was separated from an adopted Mother before the age of 2 and has not accepted any horse as her friend. No play, no co-grooming, etc. Is this healthy? Is there any way to encourage friendships between horses?

[@StableHorseTraining]

No, it's not healthy that other horses won't accept her. Kind of like Gracie actually, only Lena so far will cogroom with her regularly. I find sometimes being an intermediate in the middle kind of presence helps. Allowing the horse into the herd by telling the other horses not to tell that horse to leave. That kind of stuff.

[@rottiesrule78]

Good shirt

[@Inasplace]

Where’s Annie. I just saw a photo of her and Little Miss having a sleepover. I realize this video is 3 months

[@marilynsheppard3209]

A hand according to a wrangler I was watching on KZbin is about 4" so Little Miss is 5' 4"

[@StableHorseTraining]

13 x 4 = 52 which is 4' 4" You're a foot off :)

[@bonblue4993]

Basket Case (Gracie) sure has antsy pants today!! It looks like Roni has some swelling on the left inside of his rear (or the opposite side of his outside hip? Look at 13:49.

[@StableHorseTraining]

Would it be ok to not call her basket case anymore?

[@StableHorseTraining]

Not swollen, just the lighting I think

[@bonblue4993]

@@StableHorseTraining Absolutely no problem! I just always did it because she is so quirky funny, so it wasn't a judgement thing like her being bad or something. But I certainly understand your request, and I will no longer use that name.

[@StableHorseTraining]

Thanks! I get it's not meant in a bad way at all but she's come a long ways with her behavior with people and it's a great accomplishment. Perhaps a new nickname?

[@bonblue4993]

@@StableHorseTraining You are right about her having come a long way, and that is because of your amazing patience with her and your guidance with her. I will try to come up with something a little more uplifting!

[@LindaG858]

Do you know much about yoka’s history? Did not realize she is as old as she is. Can she be ridden (by children)?

[@StableHorseTraining]

Not much. No, she can't be ridden by children.

[@Inasplace]

Where’s Annie? I just saw a snap shot of her & Little Miss having a sleepover.

[@deniseheon8842]

Little Miss kicks Mr Wildie in the chest it was 7.13 mins in.. Mr Wildie was bitting her on the top of her butt and back. She told him you heard the thump. Lol oh my sassy Gracie I love her kick kick and sassy ness!! Oh I love little Miss kicks and hops around!!! ❤️ Roni so funny how he licks the other horse 🤣 Ok I love All of them they have great there own great personality's ❤️🐎❤️🐴

Is Wildie limping a little with right leg

[@StableHorseTraining]

When?

[@donnacsuti4980]

Hi it's April 23 2022 l when I'm writing this. Seems like youu have some new horses there on other newer videos. Can you please introduce us to them and give us a update on what your up to. I notice miss wildie is missing and she's a favorite. Are you keeping the girls in heat separate right now like another site I watch does? Just that we get attached to them and hope they are still around and what is up with them. Can you do a video again walking around telling about your current horses and about horses that went to their home or a new home. Hope all is well there. Don't be discouraged by the criticism of a few. You are so good to and with the horses. Thanks for your reports

[@StableHorseTraining]

As you never seem to see my responses to your comments I really don't know what to write to you anymore in regards to your request and what you think is happening here in comparison to what is based on you watching old videos...Anyways, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate the kind words and encouragement

[@literallyanangrymoose7717]

Hm. Given the huge supply of commentary on uncastrated stallions and castrating stallions, is there an equivalent procedure to sterilize mares?

[@StableHorseTraining]

There is, but it's quite involved and expensive. Gelding a male is much cheaper and far easier.
